Iran seeks swap of Brits for suicide attackers
Report says 40 Revolutionary Guard 'volunteers' held by UK
Iran apprehended British military personnel and Navy vessels earlier this week in order to secure release of 40 "suicide operations volunteers" held by the UK, according to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard source.
The source told the London Arabic-language daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat that the British Army command in Iraq received the demand from the Revolutionary Guard, reported the Middle East Media Research Institute.
According to the source, the content of the message was very simple: "Release our comrades, whom you are holding, and we will release your soldiers."
We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm
Anyone know what time the President is arriving in Turkey? This trip makes me nervous

Seems like the beheadings didn't sit well with the civilized world. Retaliation in S. Korea also.
I hear there have been some pretty intensive drills at hospitals and medical centers recently.
He arrived there about an hour ago.
Has it been report reported any where other than WND? You'd think a story like this would be splashed across the frong pages every where.
Another prayer going up for the President!
Signing off for now, stay safe everyone!!

Mustard Gas is a pretty old weapon. It is a "Blister" agent and unlikely to cause death directly unless deeply inhaled. Then it could conceivably cause a rare condition known as "Dry Land Drowning" where the victims lungs would fill up with mucus.
If unprotected troops or personnel are hit, the result will be HUGE blisters (think the length of your forearm and about four inches high, filled with a pus like liguid. There is no true danger associated with the blisters UNTIL they slightly rub up against something, even clothing. Then the pain is agonizing and the blisters break quite easily. The resulting infection is what causes most fatalities due to Mustard Agent. Victims must be treated for shock and carefully decontaminated. I think the Docs have something they put into a tub for immersion of casualties.
One last thing, and then I really must get moving.
Neil Cavuto.....ROCKS!!!
(snip)We need to understand the reality of that gore, and we need to understand it again and again. That's why I differ from my colleagues in the media, even the fine organization with whom I'm associated, FOX News, when I say, show me those beheadings of innocents like Paul Johnson and 33-year-old South Korean humanitarian worker Kim Sun-il.
Show me the senselessness of their killings. Show me the evil behind their killings. Show me it. Show me all of it. And don't sanitize it. Don't blur it, mask it, color it or frame it. Don't gloss over it and try to make us not see it or be appalled by it. You see, I want us appalled. I want us angry. I want us outraged. I want us sickened.(snip)
Great article!!!

The post that got me into trouble with "JohnBell" (now banned, thanks Jim) eventually led him to me. Anyone clicking on the links in my post would end up putting information in his server log regarding the referring page. I am so surprised it took this guy nearly three weeks to get around to noticing where the traffic was coming from. I guess he was too busy working on his 'super-computer'. Any good webmaster can easily see where visitors are coming from when they visit a site.
