British Pride – A Dangerous Commodity

Article by
Assistant Editor in Chief

 

 

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.

It's proven now via satellitel images from NASDAQ that we were right, we weren't in Iranian territory. If you understood maritime law you'd know a thing or two, but clearly your another liberal douche-bag desperate for your favourite flavour: humiliation.

As always, the British are right again.

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

What do I say about me? I have lived in three countries, passed through a multitude of places, had my own business and have found my way to The Cheers. Three children grown and flown, and time on my hands for me now. So I am using some of my time on here, and having a ball. My greatest love (apart from my partner that is) is reading - a good book that can whisk you away into its own world, taking you into parts unknown - and then dump you back into reality at the end. Travelling, dancing, walking, adventure all rate high in my world. As does taking time out to sit by the river...
