Pentagon: 15 British Trooops Siezed by Iran

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

WASHINGTON - A Pentagon official said Friday that up to 15 British troops have been detained by the Iranian navy.

The Britons were in two inflatable boats from the frigate H.M.S. Cornwall during a routine smuggling investigation, said the official, who spoke on condition on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the incident.

Earlier, British forces said there had been “an incident” in the northern Gulf after an Iraqi fisherman reported seeing up to seven British or American military personnel being seized by an Iranian ship.

They are going to cover this on CNN in a bit but I'm out the door so guess I'll have to wait until this evening to see what is going on.

Always something over there.

Wouldn't give me a reason to stay in Iraq. It would make me want to light up Iran's night-time sky.

You wouldn't want to give them the excuse of saying that your bombs accidentally killed your soldiers would you?

This shoot-from-the-hip diplomacy doesn't pay off.

Rolling over and pandering to them doesn't work either.

Ever hear of a little terrorist country called Libya?

Britain’s crisis with Iran deepened last night after Tehran justified seizing 15 British servicemen by claiming that they had strayed into Iranian territorial waters “illegally”.

The announcement appeared to rule out any hope that the incident was a simple mistake that could be quickly rectified.

Britain's response:

Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, How you like me now?
