Tony Blair: We've 48 hrs. to save Brit sailors

I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I just read on a British Website that British PM Tony Blair has stated publicly, "we [England, and presumably, the U.S.] have 48 hours" to resolve the British hostage crisis.

Forty-eight hours, and then what?

This bodes watching. Yesterday, it seemed that the two sides had softened their respective positions, at least a little. This may be nothing, but it could mean this situation is coming to a head, soon.
