I was disappointed in them. They never should not have been caught in the first place!

I'd sing like a canary on the first day.

Not saying a single word of my song would be true, but I'd say what ever I thought they wanted me to say and lead them on wild goose chases all over the world.

I am in the Air Force here in England and all that the Brits in my shop had to say was that they had to give one thing to the Americans, if it had been our boys being captured there would of been one hell of a fight!!
Hehe, that's a true statement.
1) Don't go in someone else's waters.
2) If you do go in someone else's waters, lie.
3) If you are caught in someone else's waters, go as fast as possible back in your own waters, then lie.
4) If you are in your own waters, go as fast as possible further in your own waters and call in air support.

How did they let themselves get in a situation to get ran down by the Iranians? I would expect the British Zodiacs were faster and I would think the British would have better communications, intelligence, and air support in the area than the Iranians.

Ya, apparently the British Gov't told the soldiers to give up and not resist....the Brits in my shop have told me that the English are not happy with their gov't, hence Tony Blair stepping down this year.

Says you!

Have you even bothered to look at the latest issue of People Magazine?
"...Brit hostages subjected to waterboarding..."

Inflatable boats in combat?........Brilliant!

I wonder what the plan was if the merchant ship actually had armed people on board? Please don't shoot our boat?

I think I would have to question that before I got in the boat!
