I think he was suggesting the British use their Tridents. (The British nuclear arsenal consists almost entirely of Trident SLBM’s as I recall.)

Trident are the only nukes in the UK inventory. All other nuclear weapons were retired. The free-fall tactical nuclear bombs were retired in 1998.

Hmmm....

I wonder if the British gun ban applies to the embassy guards as well?

The russkies knew how to deazl with terrorists.

I remember one story where a russian was held hostage and the russians captured one of the leaders of the terrorists and sent him back in pieces

Thats how you deal with them

Yeah, but they were Commies. Commies can get away with doing anything because their goal is peace, brotherhood,and equality. It's not like when nasty old America does the exact same thing. [/sarcasm]

Not to mention that Ayatollah Khomeini (yimach shemo vezikhro!) was nothing but a Commie tool himself and was supported by the "secular" Left throughout the world.

Been there before...

Stray Cats: “Storm the Embassy” Lyrics

Fifteen man taken captive in a hostile foreign land
Scorchin’ sun beaming down onto miles and miles of sand
A mideast country being ruled by a man who thinks it’s fun
To hold our people in return for a shah that’s on the run

I think it’s funny
Freedom takes money

It’s a heartache and it’s hard luck
Well that’s tough sh!t
Man it’s no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin’ down you and me

Scourge of suits in control of the diplomaticness
While the nations of the world look on and they care less
The Soviet Union won’t agree to an economic plan
And then they laugh and march their troops into Afghanistan

Orders from Moscow
Invade Teheran now

It’s a heartache and it’s hard luck
Well that’s tough sh!t
Man it’s no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin’ at you and me

A nation worries and reads the papers hoping that no-one has died
Hearin’ rumours that the hostages will soon be tried as spies
Demonstrations on the street saying that the end is near
The man from New York Times on vacation wants to know what happened here

Agressive acts now
We want the best now
Fifteen moms crying
Is my son dying?

It’s a heartache and it’s hard luck
Well that’s tough sh!t
Man it’s no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin’ at you and me

The point being that Channel 4 gave the Iranian nutjob airtime this Christmas to give an “appropriate” alternate response to the Christians celebrating Christmas.

Seems only right that the libs at NON-BBC should also give him airtime to condemn England.

Lord Haw Haw would have a home on Channel 4 these days. Traitors.

Lord Obama will need to turn his magic healing powers up to 11 to solve the problems Iran will soon cause us.

Good point. The British Embassy should have an adequate number of Royal Marines on duty, such as is the case with the US Embassies. SPECOPS including US Marines stay at our Embassy at this point.
Any security breach should be meet with violent counter force. Try to pull off some asshol* assault and pay the price of death. Period.

The little putz at front middle is the personification of the decline of Great Britain.

I don’t think Ted Koppel could stand it again.

It’s not only direct attack like the Embassy that presents danger to Western interests. Sharia Law and Sharia Finance systems are as dangerous. Or because of the wide spread effect, even more so. A detailed read.

From the UK. We will send the SAS in. They would have been primed for this. I hope out government (some hope!) will let them go in hard and fast and refuse to be bullied into negotiations.
