Britain's every move encouraged the enemy. Consequently the free world is a more dangerous place than it was two weeks ago. Now the world is praising them, amazing,

Blair is talking to the Iranian people and not to the tyrannical Iranian mullacracy.

Do they mean “British HOSTAGES” ? Thank God Pelosi got them out of there....good to see the legislative branch dictating our foreign policy. Chalk one up for all the lawyers and judges who have our constitution in their sites!

Did the Iranians send the sailors to the tailor's shop first? The lady got ripped off, the guys are all in nicely tailored suits and she's....

The top of the hour news stated that Damascus Syria played a key role in obtaining their release. Beware - Pelosi will find a way to trump Bush again thanks to the MSM.

Yes, the timing of their release just after Pelosi’s trip was an attempt to strengthen the political Left in the West, but it won’t have a significant political impact.

And as an Easter present to the people of Iran, let’s blow that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s head off right then pin a medal on the rifleman......

Musta been too many U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf...
were is so, I think we released an Iranian we had captured, classic prisoner swap, the west blinked, the Iranians are pretty good chess players, especially while we play checkers.

Good for the Brits. They were very lucky. This will give the “Gushing Heads” BS fodder for at least a week.

Eleven in the picture; four hands in the air.

Five of them said to hell with the Iranians pointing the guns at them and saying “smile or else”.

Of course the left is saying wonderful things about how well they were treated as is obvious by the smiling cheers in this picture.

I would bet four careers are DOA in Britain; those that were just too quick to cooperate with Iranian interrogators.

Count on the Dems/Pelosi to take credit.

It’s already begun. The media has begun spinning Syria’s role in the release already. Ahmadinejad and Assad coordinated this whole production with the Democrats. And it’s going to work to perfection.

I wonder what was said that we or the rest of the world will never hear?

Don’t forget though, the Russians are on our side on the nuclear weapons issue, and Russians are the world’s greatest chess players. Dubya & Cheney are good chess players too, and Bush is darn good at Texas Hold-em poker.

I figured the Pelosi trip to Syria would be used to diss Bush and Blair and help the Dems. Looks like I was right...

Ive really made a point to avoid 2nd guessing the Brits on this but as more and more comes out I think it’s time for them to back off and clear out of the Gulf Region. They are only a liabilty and hinderance now. It’s really too bad. We really need a strong ally but it looks like the UK has fallen into the surrender monkey camp.
