Iranian officials have said the British soldiers they have forcibly taken against their will have admitted they willfully violated Iran's territorial waters and security, according to published reports. OK folks, but what have those Islamofascist sadists done to them? How many times has the female soldier been raped? Why isn't the media asking to see the detainees and their cells? Why aren't we calling for the closing of Iran's interrogation or questioning thier methods of interrogation? Why aren't we asking they show us their secret prisons?
Surprisingly the EU, aka the future caliphate of Europe, has actually condemned Iran and has demanded the return of the soldiers.
But, again, to no one's surprise, that is all they will do.
The United States, however, has already begun ramping up forces in the area, with the thoughts of a show of force. I am sure the left is immediately emailing the mullahs their support against our Navy.
What is the deal with this whole dilemma? Thank Saddam Hussein, Khomeini, and the instability of the region.
You see,
The seizure of the Britons took place in an area where boundaries between Iraqi and Iranian waters have long been disputed. A 1975 treaty set the center of the Shatt al-Arab — the 125-mile-long channel known in Iran as the Arvand River — as the border.
But Saddam Hussein canceled the 1975 treaty five years later and invaded Iran, triggering an eight-year war. Virtually all of Iraq’s oil is exported through a terminal near the mouth of the channel.
Britain’s Defense Ministry said the Royal Navy personnel were in Iraqi territorial waters when they were seized. Cmdr. Kevin Aandahl of the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain also said it was “very clear” they were in Iraqi waters.
“We’ve been on operations there for several years,” Aandahl said. He said coalition vessels respect the 1975 treaty.
What is Iran's purpose in this ? Of course, it is trying to scare the West into concessions. The Mullahs have been watching CNN and others and are seeing the disrepair and fragmentation over the military going on. They hearing the Dems message of cut and run very loudly and want to exploit it.
