The Iranian Madman Speaks About British Sailors
LONDON — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insisted Saturday that 15 captured British sailors trespassed in Iranian waters and called world powers "arrogant" for failing to apologize, the country's official news agency reported.
"Instead of apologizing over trespassing by British forces, the world arrogant powers issue statements and deliver speeches," IRNA quoted Ahmadinejad as saying during a speech in the southeastern city of Andinmeshk.
"The British occupier forces did trespass our waters. Our border guards detained them with skill and bravery. But arrogant powers, because of their arrogant and selfish spirit, are claiming otherwise," the hard-line leader told the crowd who was celebrating the Persian New Year holiday, IRNA said.
I will take a stab at this and say, if there was a large military build-up going on now, he wouldn't be running his mouth. It's just sickening that this has gone on this long. There should have been a harsh and severe punishment immediately. The HMS Cornwallis should not have let the Iranians kidnap those sailors. Those Iranians should have been fired on. However; due to the passive attitude in Britain and budget cuts, their military is barely able to function.
