Does Jimmy Carter 2 have a hostage crisis on his hands?

[TigerClaws]

The rumor is now the troops will be handed over at 2 a.m. Not sure what time zone, but that’s the internet word.

Obama wants to beat the newspaper cycle if possible so he doesn’t get HOSTAGE CRISIS DAY 2 headlines...

It’s a good thing I am not president. I’d get Iran on the phone and explain that my unharmed people would be released within 1 hour or I would begin nuking Iran and I wouldn’t stop until they were living in the stone age or all dead.

Once we get the sailors back if they don’t return the boats quickly we should JDAM them wherever they are so the Iranians can’t use them against us later.

U.S. aircraft carrier acted provocatively after Iran arrested sailors - IRGC

DUBAI, Jan 13 (Reuters) - A U.S. aircraft carrier acted “provocatively and unprofessionally” for 40 minutes by carrying out manoeuvres in the Gulf after Iran arrested 10 American sailors, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Naval commander, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, said on state television on Wednesday.

Separately, a spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said the U.S. sailors were being interrogated, according to the Tasnim news agency. (Reporting by Bozorgmehr Sharafedin; Writing by Yara Bayoumy; Editing by Robeert Birsel)

Do our standing orders overseas just demand that our military "stand down" when threatened or are in danger of being "boarded and captured"?

I do NOT understand this.. How can this happen without some kind of a fight? Two US utility vessels against the Iranian Coast Guard? Are they THAT good? Any Military pros out there that can give us "no military background" people a clue?
