The now official statement is that the boats we trying to rendezvous with a Coast Guard Cutter for refueling at the time they were captured. No engine failure just took a wrong shortcut to the refueling ship.

Iran SEIZED our two small, PT-style boats from INTERNATIONAL waters and kidnapped the crew, in a BOLD demonstration of pure POWER over the Wimp of the White House. Read the 2nd comment, by Matt Bracken, linked below:

No Coast Guard that far away from US waters. Iran SEIZED our two small, PT-style boats from INTERNATIONAL waters and kidnapped the crew, in a BOLD demonstration of pure POWER over the Wimp of the White House. Read the 2nd comment, by Matt Bracken, linked below:

“The timeline said that last Tuesday, the crews were taking two riverine command boats, or R.C.B.s, which are typically used to patrol shallow waterways, from Kuwait to Bahrain. The boats departed Kuwait at 12:23 p.m. local time and were supposed to refuel from a Coast Guard cutter in the Persian Gulf at 5 p.m.”

Many cutters have been deployed to the Persian gulf.

Yeah, the whole thing stinks like fish on ice. And to make matters worse, John Kerrys fawning compliments for the way these Persian bastards treated our sailors was humiliating. Obamas entire Iranian policy is a Code Pink exercise in narcissism that places his legacy and ego above the well being of our nation and that entire region.

The truth is that Barry Sowetos legacy is going to be basically Jimmy Carter on steroids with even more damaging policies than the peanut farmer could create.

My only guilty pleasure from all of this is that as these truths become more self evident after B. Hussein is out of office it is going to drive him fucking crazy!

The refueling ship was probably USCGC Monomoy currently forward-deployed to Manama, Bahrain.
