"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"
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
Dudette, you gotta get a Dell!
I am. Also, I am about to head off there with the children. F-i-l is a general there, and b-i-l is former minister. Neither are "in" right now with Chavez.
Just like we aren't calling Saudi Arabia a terrorist sponsering nation, the same applies in Venezuela, which, by the way, is the 2nd largest supplier of US oil.
Here is some shocking news that is supressed in the USA:

Also, did you know that Chavez is FRIENDS with Carlos the Jackel? He has visited him, and they are "penpals". Check on the relationship between Cuba, Carlos, and Chavez... He's being coached all the way!
I really do think that what you wrote helps us better understand some folks who do not wish to hear about any terrorism anymore -- whether it is terrorism past or present.
This may indeed be a gloomy 4th of July celebration, I agree, swarthyguy.
Jill, I offer my prayers and thanks to God right now for the care and safekeeping of your son and his fiancee.
Thank you for all your work.

Says it well.
It would be better if it were not true.
>>>All those SUVs out there get hideous mileage and yet they are the most popular things on the road.
I heard on a radio talk show that the newer SUVs are now made to support alternative fuels. I can't reiterate all this correctly because I'm not 100% sure what or how this works.
There are a couple of states that sell this alternative fuel. Maybe the questions should be...why don't all the states allow sales of alternative fuel?
I live just north of you in the San Fernando Valley. It feels like things are heating up. But you know we have these spurts and then they seems to go away for a few days or a week even two sometimes. I don't know if that means something was going to happen and our guys stopped it? It's weird though and it hasn't gone away this time yet. Last night I saw and heard a big helicopter just cruising low and slow (no spot light) around. On the way to work yesterday I noticed two CHP's w/in a couple of miles of each other. One had pulled over a small pick-up with a ME looking driver and one had a tracker trailer pulled over. I also saw a Sheriff car on the fwy as well as a couple of MC's. That's alot of law within an 8 - 10 mile span and this was before I got off the fwy.
Take care of the family affairs. That's number one. We'll be here when you have time to resume. You will be busy enough with doctors, police reports and insurance company calls for a few weeks.
Amen Granny I am with you all the way.
My prayers are with your son and his fiance. God was suerly looking after them.
