British Pride – A Dangerous Commodity

Have they STILL not learnt yet?

A recent report on the arrival back in the UK of the HMS Cornwall crew states they were in Iraqi waters.

The 15 soldiers and marines still seem to believe this, or they are lying. Evidence has already proven they had inadvertently strayed into Iranian territory.

What is the difficulty in admitting an honest mistake?

The crew should be told the truth and shown the real evidence. They are the ones who suffered because of – yet again – Politics!  All Iran was looking for is the truth.  The blustering efforts of Tony Blair put his men and woman into real danger. A simple admission of the truth is all that was required, saving the crew a multitude of stress and worry.

Iran using psychological mind games, according to the report, is also not acceptable. Once the evidence came to light, they also knew it was an honest mistake.

Politics?  Ditch them!  The perhaps solutions will be found to many world-wide problems.

DB says on 2007-04-06 17:14:35 about British Pride. British Pride? Perhaps that should read British stupidity. The Royal Navy will gain nothing from this adventure and RN and the UK Government need to ensure that their ships stay out of Iranian territory. Getting their GPS looked at as to accuracy might be a good first steps.

Henk Luf says on 2007-04-06 17:08:15 about British Pride The statements by the UK crew was to be expected. It was a fairly basic face-saving, if somewhat primative attempt to justify the British position. In the longer term though, the UK will gain nothing from this episode and also in the longer term, the crew will feel more 'heat' from the UK military then they are said to have had from the Iranians. After all, the Cornwell target officer and Captain will have to blame someone to save their arses. Any UK statement in relation to this episode can be written-off for what it will be. Crap
