Ahmadinejad is a crafty fellow. It will be interesting to see how much political capital he thinks he can win out of this "goodwill" gesture....

 

Well played by the Iranian "dictator". He saves face and curries favor around the world as a kind and gentle leader.

Are you being sarcastic here or are you just very naive?

News for you - Ahmadinejad isn't the power in Iran - he's merely the face of political power. The Ayatollahs run the show and control the Republican Guard and are the folks calling the shots on this and all other matters.

Dick Cheney and OCinPhilly must be disappointed that they're losing this opportunity to advocate military action against Iran. Negotiating a peaceful settlement is such an impediment to the neo-con agenda.

RIGHT, Joe and Molton?

Poor little boo boo doesn't get to see the bombs go boom! Ahhhhh, poor little thing. Go play with your GI Joe doll now, that will make you feel better! Call me when Iran is demanding the Sudentenland, ok?

Go find where I advocated or pined for war with Iran in regards to THIS situation or anywhere else, you dipwad.

 

You missed the point, AGAIN. The point is not some kind of disappointment for whats taking place or could have taken place NOW. Its about what this means FOR THE FUTURE. What are the ramifications around how Britain and the West reacted, what Iran feels they go out of this situation and what that means about how these Countries will react and act IN THE FUTURE.

 

And nice way to minimize a threat, considering that Iran would like to see countries "wiped off the map."

 

And finally, diplomacy DIDNT WORK HERE, sh---for-brains. Iran didnt realase the soldiers due to negotiations of any sort....they did it on their own.

 

We don't know that. It's quite possible that some sort of deal was worked out behind the scenes. Just because we haven't heard about it doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

If it did, it's almost certain the Iranians would be shouting it from the rooftops, as it would be a concrete indicator that a major Western power is treating them as an equal and not a backwards post-colonial nation...which is really what they want, anyway. Equal one-on-one negotiations between Iran and Britian or the US would be a major diplomatic victory, and not something to be kept secret.

No, you were just waving the appeasement flag as if getting these guys released was some sort of a defeat. That's all. Only a neocon idiot like yourself would find this as a bad thing. Can't blame some of us for thinking you were hoping they all got killed so you jack asses could use it as an excuse to kill more

Yep, good thing Iran took hostages again and this time is was for only a few days, instead of 400+.

President Tom of Iran must be mellowing in his old age.

Or the Brits and the US could have told the Iranians to let them free or they would not recognize the majority of their country in 48 hours. It may have ended peacably but it may have been negotiated with force. Why did the Irananians back down so quickly?

Of course just with anything else, we'll never know.
