If There Was No Deal Then Why Free The Hostages?
 

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has welcomed the return home of 15 British service members held captive in Iran for nearly two weeks, and reiterated that no diplomatic deals were done to secure their release.

There was some kind of deal
 

You can bet those Persians would not cut them loose unless they had something to gain. Iran can look out any window in the house and see some mighty big guns pointed their way. In twelve hours there house would be so full of holes it would look like Swiss cheese. We owe those bastards a wake up call. Time for America to get some brass horns.
