PM Blair recently said that Britain won't be sending troops to the military effort in Iran--not because he doesn't want to, but because Britain can't spare them for now. ...too many working in other countries during this War on Terror. Also, Britain is stepping up recruiting efforts to increase its military capabilities.

Really, Tony? What kind of a "strong message" are you going to send when you have already dismissed military action.

In the words of Robin Williams, describing unarmed British cops: "STOP! Or I'll say 'Stop!' again!"

Apparently, he's slept through all the previous discussions on this topic. Must have Prince Harry's predicament on his mind.

Blair: ..."all I'm saying is that it's not very sensible at the moment in time to send a signal of weakness.'

May God bless you, Mr. Blair.

Now if you could just talk some sense into the American liberal, we'd really appreciate it.

Actually, he seems to have said no to an invasion. That does not rule out airstrikes, special operations and much else.

Thats true... but he needs to spell that out so the MSM does not gloss it over. The headline is the story now days.

How about this one:

It's as likely to work as anything the U.N. or the E.U. will send.

I'm a little suprised a the hard play of the Brit's on this thread. Really there is only so much they can do. Really there is only so much WE can do. Unless we do a full Pusche' from Iraq to Iran we can't take and hold it and it is really not on the table. We will bomb them and deal with the mullahs later. MHO.

Sorry, should have been "I'm supprised at the hard play at/on the Brit's on this thread."

Yes. That's why I wrote the background information in the first comment. Britain has a bit of negative history from the Mandate period. But even so, Britain has been very courageous and generous in the current War on Terror.

Seems strange to me that Blair says the west must not show weakness and then indicates that military action are not an option. Iran has thumbed it's nose at the world community. END OF STORY...BOMB NOW!!!! How many more years are we going to play this idiotic negotiation game? North Korea played this game and won and now Iran will follow. Who's next? At some point the world has to wake up and respond with action when these two bit tyrants give us the finger.
