Call that humiliation?

No hoods. No electric shocks. No beatings. These Iranians clearly are a very uncivilised bunch

Terry Jones FTW, satire rules.

Both Sides Must Stop This Mad Confrontation, Now

There is no agreed maritime boundary between Iraq and Iran in the Persian Gulf. Until the current mad propaganda exercise of the last week, nobody would have found that in the least a controversial statement.

Let me quote, for example, from that well known far left source Stars and Stripes magazine, October 24 2006.

'Bumping into the Iranians can’t be helped in the northern Persian Gulf, where the lines between Iraqi and Iranian territorial water are blurred, officials said.

"No maritime border has been agreed upon by the two countries," Lockwood said.'

That is Royal Australian Navy Commodore Peter Lockwood. He is the Commander of the Combined Task Force in the Northern Persian Gulf.

I might even know something about it myself, having been Head of the Maritime Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 1989 to 1992, and having been personally responsible in the Embargo Surveillance Centre for getting individual real time clearance for the Royal Navy to board specific vessels in these waters.

As I feared, Blair adopted the stupid and confrontational approach of publishing maps ignoring the boundary dispute, thus claiming a very blurred situation is crystal clear and the Iranians totally in the wrong. This has in turn notched the Iranians up another twist in their own spiral of intransigence and stupidity.

Who knows what's really going on and our press is having a field-day but who cares as less than 1/3rd of us buy a newspaper. 

Don't get me wrong we care about our service personel abroad and specially when they are captured (wrongly or not) by a bunch of nutters.

You know how it works Paul, you pay a Journalist cash and you get another opinion, hey no reason to have another story the same and bash another failing newspaper at the sametime alls the better ... still worth Jack to me.

Now theres the rumb for you hey Paul? ... not being a Journalist and all, with opinion again worth Jack.

So why did I write this post ... well I hope I've p*ssed you off a bit Paul that always make me smile because you're an anti-British Jerk.

Iran is a Nation of people and they supply 20% of Americas energy needs.

The BBC has been emphatically clamming that this incident occurred in Iraq waters, but they were not there. The BBC pronouncement preceded any word from the British Navy making them a PLAYER in this affair not an impartial observer as they profess to be.

I have witnessed this countless times in the British occupation of the six counties of Ireland, the BBC always does what is needed to justify the injustice of the British Crown forces on Irish soil.

The British sailors are safe and sound and will receive better treatment then any Arab or Irish person in British custody.

The Strait of Hormuz is watched day and night by multiple satellites, why haven't we been shown an image taken during the time in question?

1)Saudi Arabia 9.1 million barrels per day
2)Russia 6.7 million barrels per day
3)Norway 2.7 million barrels per day
4)Iran 2.6 million barrels per day

Americans don't buy crude oil, multi-national corporations like Exxon, Shell and BP acquire it from dealers and agents who transport super tankers around the globe.

After a super tanker passes through the Strait of Hormuz how can you determine if it's contents came from Kuwait, Iraq or Iran?

Iran is the forth largest exporter of crude oil on this planet.

Because of the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz satellites are watching every move there, but the intelligence services are withholding this vital evidence.
