And then also define where the territorial waters are - which because of the state of Iraq'a government, Iran might gain from that. They werent arrested for just wandering over the boarder, the Iranians must have been monitoring them and taken them for a reason.



Who knows what the reasons are..I dont trust any of them anymore. I'm not sure the Government have been strictly above board unfortunatly.

But iut has been proven by satelite positioning systems that those troops were over a mile inside Iraqi waters when they were siezed and did not stray into Iranian waters at all.

Of course, that depends whose on propoganda you believe.

The waters there are disputed so by nature they are both going to say they were in their waters Smile,,,but its a job to know who to believe, I don't believe our government. Unfortunately the service personal are just pawns.


whatever


Not sure what the 'whatever' was pertaining to Kev, but if it was the comment about service personnel, Jeggea is right. Our forces services are there to do our governments bidding. They are mearly pawns in a very big game played by governments across the world.

Many join the forces with dillusions of standing by their country and doing 'the right thing', but many learn fairly quick that their ideals are not those of our governments.


Not sure he read my post Red...just a childish poke at me.

But I agree with you..service personal always have been 'Lions led by donkeys' unfortunately.
and the childish games are still being played....as for the actual thread, unfortunately we will never know the real reasons behind what has happened, or what was true..at least that is my opinion....things like this has happened before regarding territories Rolling Eyes dam government and there secrets...and of course its always gonna be lets blame that person or excuses made

He repeated allegations that the British sailors and marines "invaded" Iranian waters, but said they would be freed as a "gift" to Britain." Full story.
