The MSM will give the credit to Pelosi.

Pelosi told Abbas that if he could get the British released , after the Dems take over the White House on the coming election, she would make it worth his while.

Thinking about this hostage release a bit more:
1)Pelosi and crew had to apply for visas (and security), before visit to Mid-east.
2) Thus the enemies knew ahead of time about the trip of an important US (yeech) politician before hand.
3) The question is whether they knew about her trip before - or - after the hostage taking.
4) Was this then just a total set-up if they knew of her trip before hostage taking,
5) Or were they just milking it until she arrived on ground, to fully embarrass Bush and Blair
6) And she’s to F##king stupid to know that she has been used as a duped pawn in this high stakes game!
(Geez! I sure wish that we had Valerie Plame on the ground to provide trip intel. Puke!)

British analysts were quick to credit another political personage for the resolution of the drama. John Williams, the former Director of News of Britain's Foreign Office, asserts that Dr. Ali Larijani, the secretary general of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, was more important in calling the shots. [...] Other observers warn against giving Larijani too much credit. Supreme Leader Ayatullah Ali Khamenei, they say, may have [...] This is silly.
Treating these captives "munificently" was an obvious PR move - to tweak the nose of Anglo opponents and to demonstrate "moral superiority". One can bet such was the consensus among Iranian leaders. They are not fools.

Brittania no longer rules the waves.
Their sailors are wusses, the way they gave in to the Iranians...acting like they were at a frat house party.
Today really made me sick when they shook hands with that murderous little Shite.
Our Navy men would never behave that way.

Well, it certainly wasn't Tony the Wet Noodle.
Could never have voted for him, but I admire his courage, defying his own party and standing alongside President Bush in the War on Terror.
How quickly people forget.

“I think it was the commander of the Nimitz Battle Group. Or fear of him anyway.”
I agree that this had alot to do with it. This enemy is really tough on everyone until they get stood down.

I cannot believe that History is repeating itself! The British have been a great disappointment in this act of war declared by the the Iranian terrorist regime against them. Chamberlain spirit is still alive and well in the current British government and people.

I agree. The vast majority of our airmen that were captured by the N.Vietnamese only gave in after unbelievable torture taking weeks or months. The short time that these sailors were in captivity should not have generated this type of submission.

God help us, it did not take long for the useful idiots, traitors, and defeatists in the West to fall for the Iranian terrorist regime trick. Exactly as we discussed yesterday!

They should have refused to shake his hand in my opinion. An anti-semite and a barbarian he is, and deserves no thanks from those he took prisoner.

Jesse Jackson was about to fly over if Nancy P hadn’t freed the hostages.

England is now the new France. This could have been settled the minute the sailors were confronted but they were told to stand down. Shamefull, they can’t even protect themselves.
