Title: Iranians discover the difference between Aussies and Brits
Post by: newman on July 13, 2007, 07:00:35 AM

This is the difference between Howard's proud Australia and Blair's PC, poofter Britain:

Iranian naval forces in the Gulf tried to capture an Australian Navy boarding team but were vigorously repelled, the BBC has learned.

The incident took place before Iran successfully seized 15 British sailors and Marines in March.

The lessons from the earlier attempt do not appear to have been applied in time by British maritime patrols.

The 15 Britons were searching a cargo boat in the Gulf when they were captured over a boundary dispute. When Iranian Revolutionary Guards captured the British sailors and Royal Marines in March, it was not exactly their first attempt.

It turns out that Iranian forces made an earlier concerted attempt to seize a boarding party from the Royal Australian Navy.

The Australians, though, to quote one military source, “were having none of it”.

The BBC has been told the Australians re-boarded the vessel they had just searched, aimed their machine guns at the approaching Iranians and warned them to back off, using what was said to be “highly colourful language”.


Amazing what a difference growing a 'pair' makes.

I too am Australian and i have to say that Australia is probably Israel's second best supporter after America... one thing Australia doesn't do is take crap from exterior or interior forces for that matter...

The poms used to regard us as a pack of convivts and use us for cannon fodder. Now we're showing the Royal Navy up.
