What if it were our sailors ?

What if it were 15 US sailors or Marines that were taken by Iran ? Do you think as of today they would still have them ? I doubt they would have taken them in the first place but who knows. What do you think ?

I think we'd be a few hours from another War.

I dont think we would really do anything right now. The Democrats have basically neutered our country and citizens and Iran knows this. This latest fiasco was a test, and Iran now realizes the uk and us wont stop them.

Iraq is a great place for the west to have a middle east militaryoperations headquarters.

The time has come to act, whether it's our soldiers or theirs, and I think we will. A Russian newspaper today cites a high-ranking Russian intelligence official as saying their intelligence shows an American military buildup along the Iranian border that rivals the buildup along the Iraqi border prior to our invasion there in March 2003.

There's no reason to allow this jackass to pull off his ridiculous publicity stunts without repercussions. It's one thing to wave off his silly threats. Capturing our or our allies' military personnel is taking it a bit too far. Let's start bombing one Iranian target every six hours until they're released, and tell them that if one hair on one of their heads is harmed, we'll bring the country to its knees with the combined military might of the US and the UK.

Think it wouldn't be much different then they way we handled China when our plane was forced to land there.

Unfortunately, I think you're right about this. The Dems have screwed this up with their usual willing accomplices thae drive-by media.
