TEHRAN, Iran - Fifteen British sailors and marines released by Iran arrived at Tehran's airport early Thursday and were expected to board a commercial flight to London, according to an Associated Press reporter at the scene.

The 15, whose release from nearly two weeks in Iranian captivity was announced Wednesday by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, arrived in a convoy of sedans that drove directly to the presidential VIP section of the airport, the reporter said.

..”utterly stunning collaboration of the two Royal Marine officers with the Iranians.”

I noticed that also. Totally dishonorable. That adds to a long list of dishonorable conduct in this whole mess. England is a goner, and Europe will follow.

I assume your reference is to WW2.... I believe we would be speaking English or possibly Russian as it was the Soviets who more or less defeated Germany.... After their defeats on the Eastern front, the German nation was crippled. The USAs entry into the fray 3 years after the start of the war was merely the coups de grace! But thankyou America for all the help you gave us at the time and also for all the wonderfull how America won the war movies that have followed.

What is next? Is Faye Turney going to post for Page 6 in the Sun?

Maybe page 6 and 7.

I’m waiting to hear from the three Royal Marines on the far right of the group photo. They don’t look one bit pleased with this stunt.

  If it wasn’t for the English, you’d be speaking French or Spanish and would be living in a third world country.

I'm not sure what the Brits did to remove French and/or Spanish influence from North America.  After booting the Brits we simply did what Americans do best... We went on a shopping spree!  Purchasing land from Spain, France, Russia and kicked the Mexicans back over the Rio Grande.

Actually the largest group of immigrants in America are the Germans at 43 million, second are the Irish at 27 million and third are the English (including Scotland and Wales) at 24 million which works out to be about 8%.

We speak English because we like the way the Brits sound.  And America has never been third world.  We are the NEW WORLD, and you're welcome to it.

Hmmm, I’ll bet I can pick out the Marines. BTW, three of them are not included in the picture.

Good question. Here is the thing; they are, or should be the latest line of the English people that gave over 1/2 of the world a blueprint for civilization. They are the latest line of a Britain of Nelson $ Churchill & Thatcher.
They are the great-grandchildren of the BEF that fought through France because they promised they would, and were saved from the beaches of Dunkirk by the Royal Navy and the yachtsmen of England. That and more. Yes, I expected better.

why is the picture cropped? Iranian news source? There are three soldiers on the right out of this picture who aren’t smiling. Pretty dispicable if a western news outlet let the pic go out like this.

We dont speak German,sweetie,because WE won the Battle of Britain(respect to the Eagle Squadron though,see I respect the bravery of allies even if you dont) and the Battle of the Atlantic...

And not only did we give America £1.2 BILLION in reverse lend lease,without BRITISH ships,American troops would never have been landed on Europe’s shores,from Normandy to the North African coast...

SEVENTY NINE PER CENT of ships on d-day were British or Canadian and FIFTY per cent of planes were BRITISH).

And British planes helped defend American troops, from North Africa to the Typhoons clearing the way from Mormnandy to Germany. Not to mention that BRITISH petrol supplies (the Red Lion Express)supplied both American tropops under 21st Army control AND some 12th Army(Bradley) units...

Even the ones smiling, look like they were forcing it, except for one guy. They all have that look of POW to me. The eyes speak and that girl looks angry. It will be interesting to hear what they have to say now that they are free, assuming they are allowed to talk.
