For everyone who's been dreading it (and some people who've been rooting for it for some reason), here it is: CNN's version Fox News' version and finally, the BBC they sound a little spicier than normal

Those sailers in the little bitty boats must have been a long long way from the mothership if they had "lost communications," and it took a helicopter to see what was going on. Hopefully they will not be held for 444 days, or anything close to it...

Again the Iranians seem to be rattling thier teeth, as before they will probabaly be held for a couple of days and released.Its just a bit of showboating to make us Brits seem a bit like invading infidels abusing the peaceful Iranian motherland. If they are not released soon it may get a bit more dodgy.

Be thankful it wasn't an Israeli boat.

Be thankful it wasn't an Israeli boat. Yep, but only if you're rooting for the Iranians. I'm not, but there would be little left of Iran if it was an Israeli boat, and we'd be up to our ears in it as well.

Right. Look what Israel did to the USS Liberty and it was clearly in international waters and not in a river with the boundry running down the middle.

That attack was clearly an accident. Or are you suggesting otherwise?

If you look up "don't get mad, get even" in the dictionary, you will see a picture of Israel. I don't always agree with everything Israel does, but I have always admired the way they handle any attack on them. They don't turn the other cheek, they hit back, as hard as they can...
