#2 The pansies are yet to understand that when you give to a bully it doesn't end the situation it only makes the demands and bullying worse.

Britian is about to find out just how much worse it can be. The embassy staff/marines better be ready and loaded to hold at all cost for a extended period of time. However it plays out it will be a longtime before we are able to attempt a rescue evac.

#3 I don't think it will work this time. That bag of tricks has been all used up over the last ~30 years.

My prediction - he will be crushed. Too many strong dogs in this fight and too much at stake.

#4 My prediction - he will be crushed.

Blair?

Because he's certainly acting like someone perfectly intent on getting crushed.

#5 Those who refuse to learn from 1979 are doomed to repeat it.

Instruct the Marines to fire into any crowd that enters the embassy grounds.

#6 Truth be told, I am surprised at the timidity of the Iranians.

#9 Britain still has an embassy in Teheran? Excellent. In no time at all, 444 days in captivity won't just describe the American embassy hostage situation in 1979. You gotta love soft power.
