I am very happy for the british soldiers and their family. Our money couldn't have been better spent. You know this cost the US a few big ones.

I bet Bush will com out with a arrogant statement and not one of thanks and friendship....

The Western world needs to tell the Arab/Islamic world that: "If they don't stop with the terrorism and the provocations, Mecca will cease to exist"

And then follow through.

Problem solved

I'm glad this current situation with the 15 hostagaes is about to end with thier release, but we will still have to deal with the regime in Iran in the future.

From articles I've read, apparently Ahmadinejad is not all that popualr in Iran right now, especialy with younger iranians. (I read that after 9/11 hundreds of Iranian college students held candelight vigils in Tehran and were roughed up by goverment hardliners). It may be this situation was orcistrated in part to boost his popularity.

I know Bush hates that this was resolved without escalation or violence. He can't use this as a reason to invade Iran.

I guess bombing the heck out of them would have evened things up, eh?

One quick point; the power of an Iranian President is not the same as the power of an American President. The real power lies with the clerics who, I'm guessing, pressured Ahmadinejad to resolve this crisis and to resolve it quickly.

SOMEONE SHOULD TELL THE PRESIDENT THAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS CAN BE MADE BY DIPLOMACY!

[pipeslanga89]

he's by far a good guy, but do you think the imperialistic govt of the US and Britain are better?

[tuckerndfw]

I wonder how many extra millions Bush (ExxonMobil), Blair (British Petroleum) and Ahmadinejab (Iran's oil exports) and their cronies made during this dog and pony show?

The price of a barrel of oil rose about $1 during the course of this manufactured (non) event.

I hope you all can see what this Maniac is up to. He's trying to look like the good guy when in fact he's duping the rest of the world.

[pipeslanga89]

I wish our President would take a serious look at having trespassers cross our borders. Like this guy or not, he isnt intimidated by the big bad George.

"He pardoned the sailors and announced their release minutes after he gave medals of honor to the Iranian coast guards who intercepted the sailors and marines, saying Iran will never accept trespassing of its territorial waters."

LOL, he pins Mickey Mouse medals on them for their "bravery" in the face of dANgeROUs confrontation!!
Their moms would be soooo proud of their boys!
