Intelligence has been leaked that they were civilians, I did not just watch that on youtube. I saw it on a documentary on CBC, unadultrated news, unlike CNN
Okay than what of the old man who was tied by the hands because they believed he was a terrorist, after they found out he was just an old man they let him go, but that was before they had to amputate his hands

You are talking nonsense!Which intel? In war, civilians always die but the key thing is whether their is intent to kill civilians

In Nigeria/Biafra war,1 million civilians died in just 3 years.Does that mean Nigerians are evil?

And you point, this is supposed to be a good thing? You know that intentional killings happen in war too, civilian and non-civilian

We don't know that the killings are intentional.If the Americans decide to make it a deliberate policy,to kill Iraqi civilans,their won't be an insurgency. Most of the intentional killings are done by Iraqi militias.

Pointing to dead bodies in war is pointless unless you know the circumstances of their death

I don't give a damn about the Biafra War. It is in our past. If you want to hold on to it for historical purposes thats your own cup of tea
The US is in a war that they don't want to be in, yet some of us are here defending them.
Let the Democrats win so that the US will finally find there way home, so that Iraq can finally start healing.
Re: Iran Has Caputured Fifteen British Navy At Gunpoint by 4Play(m): 11:36pm On Mar 23, 2007
@JosBoy

That is irrelevant to your first post in which put up a link and started preaching to us about "soilders fighting soldiers"

My point is that is there is no evidence that the US intends to kill civilians for if they did,their would be no insurgency in Iraq.Your initial posts are pointless

The best way to avoid war in Iran is for the Mullahs to avoid intervening in Iraq by conducting such operations as today's.You should be putting YouTube links about Iranian atrocities

Iran has every right to defend her borders with might!I don't believe the UK side of the story,it's simply incredulous
Re: Iran Has Caputured Fifteen British Navy At Gunpoint by texazzpete(m): 3:24pm On Mar 24, 2007
@lewa
I can't see anything incredulous in the british side of the story. i'll bet my money the Iranians are just trying to divert attention from the upcoming security council votes.

The British naval personnel in question were out there inspecting an Iraqi vessel. it's doubtful that both an Iraqi vessel and a British vessel would intentionally stray into Iranian waters without permits.
Re: Iran Has Caputured Fifteen British Navy At Gunpoint by lewa(m): 11:21pm On Mar 24, 2007
Tex,
you could be correct,however Iran exercises every right to defend herself~by force if necessary.These aren't pleasant times and by the way should we always believe what the Western media potrays as fact always?This week Iran was conducting military exercises on the Gulf~it could be that the presence of thses naval guys was unpalatable.In as much as i denounce demagoguery in every ramification,Iran's stance against imperialism ought to be commended!My humble take
Re: Iran Has Caputured Fifteen British Navy At Gunpoint by McKren(m): 2:10am On Mar 25, 2007
The truth is that Britain is into espionage a lot. so you never can trust them.
Re: Iran Has Caputured Fifteen British Navy At Gunpoint by texazzpete(m): 9:44am On Mar 25, 2007
@lewa
i never said Iran has no right to defend itself. all i'm saying is, the british troops were there to interdict and inspect Iraqi ships, loking for weapons or terrorists. In the course of the mission, they had to leave their ship and board the Iraqi ship to carry out this inspection.
Now, it is doubtful that both an Iraqi ship and a british ship would stray into Iranian waters. Coupled with the fact that the British ship is equipped with enough navigational hardware and software to ensure they remain within iraqi waters, and that they british ship would have long detected the approach of the iranian vessel.
here's a question: the Iranian ship would have been long detected by the british ship (via radar). does it make sense that the british ship entered iranian waters and stayed there even with the imminent advance of an armed iranian ship? Does it?

McKren:

every country in this world is into espionage, even Nigeria.
