Well this could be just BS or.....................

As serious as this could be, I must admit, I like the idea of holding Iranians hostage, blindfold them, make them dig what they are told will be their graves and be shown around on the Teli.


I wonder if they will feel this is so ok to do, once it is done to them.

I suppose this is the UK way of upping the stakes, without directing firing on Iranian military.

"UK soldiers accused of provocation in Iraq"

Iranian consul Mohammed Ridha Nasir Bagban said: "They came at 10am and surrounded the consulate. After 20 minutes they started shooting in different directions. They are trying to irritate us because of the issue of the capture of the British soldiers, but this behaviour will make the issue worse."

It seems to me, UK is better at nonmilitary brinksmanhip than the US.LINK

I'd assume this isn't an military order, just some pissed off soldiers doing the only thing they can to "fight" back. Hopefully the antics wont make the situation even worse. All it takes is one loose cannon to put a bullet in the head of an Iranian official or civilian bystander... then we have problems.
