Is It Just Me?

Or does anyone else hear R. Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sgt. Hartman whenever the news runs a story on the British soldiers being held hostage in Iran?

You know, "Why are you not stomping Private Pyle's guts out?"

I say it's about time to load up the B-52s with something in the thermonuclear family, and warn that crazy-ass motherfucker in charge Ahmadinejad that he has precisely 24 hours to turn the Brits over to coalition forces before we give him the nuclear weapons he's hell bent on getting.

The hard way.

You don't want to do that brother. You won't be able to afford the gas for that new truck.

Ooh, good point.

Okay, then, conventional munitions it is. Don't want to melt the oil pumps...

Unfortunately the Brits seem to have totally lost their balls and the Iranians know it. The Iranians are going to continue humiliating the Brits until it’s not fun anymore – could be a long time.

25 years ago they kicked the shit out of Argentina in the Falklands. Today, they have neither the will nor the ability to do it again.

Thugs understand force and balls. It was no coincidence that Iran released their American hostages hours before Reagan’s inauguration. They knew they were hours away from a vicious beating. It’s also no coincidence that they grabbed Brits and not Americans or Aussies this time – Our guys would have fought rather than submit to capture. If they had been captured, Iran’s military and nuclear sites would be smoking craters right now.

What it boils down to is 15 guys who were out bustin' car smugglers got picked up and are being held. It gives us something else to talk about besides Anna Nicole Smith.

By the looks of things they are being well fed and given cigarettes. I have seen no photo's of naked pyramids or attack dogs.

I feel sure the Iranians will put them back on their rubber raft before too long and they can putter back to the mothership.

No need to get overly excited.

The type of weapons we throw is less important than the fact that we:

1) Actually develop the b*lls to throw them,
and
2) throw enough of them so that Iran goes "ouch".

I don't care about the price of gas in the short term (I drive a truck as large as our host) if the long-term means Iran will be selling nukes to Chavez and Castro.

They want to be a nuclear power?
They need to remember that Britain *ALREADY IS* a nuclear power.

This is a very simple equation: Iran fears nothing short of its own extinction (much like KSM, facing waterboarding). Introduce them to it, complete with pictures and historical texts on Hiroshima. If they don't make way, bomb them flat.

Just be careful what you wish for guys. You might get it.

I don't wish for war, Buck.

What I do wish for is for a leader with a freakin' spine.

I fear that it will not happen again in my lifetime...
