| #4 The GPS unit will be returned in very small pieces that have been rubbed with large magnets. The real bottom line is that the 40 boomers were not returned to their Revolutionary Guard units. Depending on who ends up holding custody of the pre-booms, the next step may involve Iran trying to rattle the Iraqis. As border guardians we should be able to do much more damage to the Iranians than Sadaam ever did during the Iran-Iraq war. As long as we don't invade and just aim to cripple their revolutionary guard we may be able to tip over their regime - if they let us. |

| #2 I don't see why this happened in the first place. Iran is NOT to be trusted, and as such, any military craft or vehicle operating in close proximity to a border area needs to be either covered by a heavily armed escort, or its personnel should be heavily armed. And if there are any threatening moves by Iranian forces, vaporize 'em. No more of this trying to put on a non-threatening face; this is only being interpreted as a sign of weakness, and is being exploited accordingly. Mr Hoon said the Iranians had failed to comply with Tuesday's deadline to return equipment carried by the men including three boats, radios and navigational equipment, weapons and ammunition. Any questions? |

| #1 That's what you get for driving a high-end piece of military hardware. Next time patrol in a Sunfish. |
