Just saw in 7:00-7:30 segment of GMA.
Iranian navy siezed about a dozen UK sailors. Sailors were conducting routine shipping embargo inspection in northern end of Persian Gulf.
Sailors have been taken back to Iran
Can't find it anywhere else.
Shalom, Y'all!
That was the spy-plane incident when China downed an American plane in 2001.

Kick their asses good, John Bull.

Take a look at this of the "Frigate" if you haven't seen it before....

Geez, the British Navy ain't what she use to be...
NO MORE PIN PRICK BATTLES MR BUSH! (I dont want my kids fighting islam- I want it ended now)
HOW DARE THEY!
Enough is enough, they've done this before.
Its about time to bomb the shit out of these islamo facists.
They'll keep doing it to embarrass us and we cannot stand for it.
As they did last time, I have no doubt they'll release one of their videos humiliating our heroes.
Sure we'll get them back, but the Iranians must be given a final warning and under no circumstances must we negotiate with these terrorists.
The Eurotrash Left i.e. Tony Benn, will find a way to blame U.S. for this and do nothing.
They sure will.
If the citizens of my country had any backbone, there would be massive protests across the country in outrage.
Most will likely blame the government. The whole thing is sickening.
Indeed.
The idiots decided to mix in a 'body count' of terror victims today with this report.
They really are cretins.
The only words I want to hear from PM Blair and Pres. Bush (to echo Teddy Roosevelt when some whackjob in Morocco took an American hostage):
"Our people back alive, NOW, or Ahmawhackjob DEAD, today."
Better yet, our people back alive and well, NOW, or Ahmawhackjob and every military, IRGC, wmd, air and naval, and other strategic sites in Iran bombed into dust.
Enough dinking around with these scumbags.
I would look for :
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) - North Arabian Sea
USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) - North Arabian Sea

one of these back in the Gulf about Monday if the guys
are not released by then,,,3 days last time,,,
Prayers Up for the Troops...
You can bet they wouldn't dare try this crap with your guys.
Thanks for the info - I remember that incident well; it has become overshadowed by 9-11.
LAUNCH!!!!
You can bet they wouldn't dare try this crap with your guys.

I don't put "anything" past those people,,,time for
air-cover in that area,,,and maybe
"Relentless British Gunnery" to show them their "error".;0)
I think Saddam Hussein and the Taliban would dispute your suggestion that the British will now only talk. As would the West Side Boys Militia in Sierra Leone who were destroyed in one of the most successful hostage rescue missions ever undertaken in 2000. :-)
I don't see the current mentality being able to respond to this seizure with anything other than talk, or maybe a capitulation with a prisoner exchange.
Most likely, the Iranians will release them once they have what they want, whatever that may be. The fact that they did this in the first place speaks volumes of their 'respect' towards the U.K.
