LONDON (Reuters) - Britain was preparing a response on Friday to a note from the Iranian government about 15 British sailors and marines seized by Iran a week ago.
Speaking after a day of escalating tension between London and Tehran, which pushed oil prices sharply higher, a Foreign Office spokeswoman said Britain was giving "serious consideration" to the note but gave no details.

Dear Iran -
Release our sailors and marines or we will give you a nuclear program one missile at a time.
Love,
The United Kingdom

Britain reacted angrily to what it said was blatant propaganda, labeling the note's release "outrageous and cruel."Are we on the verge of WWIII, or what?

No, the note will say they really, really, really want their sailors back. They are really, really, serious this time. I mean it. Really.

I have to ask this question, almost to the point of having to ask, should we fight iran with britain? Are they not leaving us in the lurch in iraq? Aren't their population hating America daily? Doesn't the BBC hate America?
Why should we help them? Why not sit this one out? Why not let the liberals in britain have their way, " A world without America"? I understand the arguments for helping, but let europe fall on its own.

I'll rephrase your questions and see if it makes more sense.... Isn't our Congress leaving us in the lurch in Iraq? Doesn't a large percentage of our own population seem to hate what we stand for? Doesn't our MSM hate America?
In the end, we need to do what is right and ignore the ignorant fools who make so much noise in both countries.

Unfortunately, we can only decide to defend all Americans or no Americans. Same with the Brits.

If it were not for the political cowardice, the uniformed, brave, skilled warriors of the United States of America would have dealt with this ox pulling mule, Persian hellhole.

Well that maybe true with Americans... but I hold my opinion on any western european.... Poland, Cezch, absolutley... britain, france, and germany are a nasty bunch of traitors.

Since Amcrazyraghead wants nuclear weapons, I suggest we send him some; one at a time.

If we are... then it comes at a good time.
We have enough carries in the region to do INSANE damage without a single land base.
Good time of year to operate in the desert (70 degrees or so),
and the MooLahs acting especially belligerent... putting even the most PC of commies on their heels.
