They’re being interrogated and our boats are being searched. We’ll likely never see our boats again and will be fortunate to get our people back.
Blockade the Strait of Hormuz and allow all non Iranian flagged ships safe passage through. Any hostile action taken towards a US ship will be met by sinking the offending vessel.
Sounds like a repeat of the Jimmy Carter hostage crisis. I
pray for our sailors. Will it take getting Trump or Cruz
elected to get them back?
they on a freaking ISLAND ! ....send in the Navy SEALs
for God sake , it’s time to send Iran ‘ a message’
( other than “ we surrender” )
Tear up the deal, triple the sanctions, blockade their ports.
This is an act of war.
Anyone with media contacts tell them to start the Jimmy Carter countdown:
HOSTAGE CRISIS DAY 2
Pray for these soldiers. It’s obvious we are fricked by the morons that elected Zero. Twice.
While Obama was giving the SOTU saying we were the most powerful nation on earth....
our captured soldiers were being interrogated and held hostage by Iran.
Back in my day, this would have been considered an act of war.
At that point I hope Iran pays a heavier price from our new Commander in Chief.
At some point we’ll have a commander in chief who will admit that we’re up against an eighth century military mindset with modern weaponry, who will deal with them as such.
In the meantime, we’re stuck with a narcissistic blabber mouth who lives a fantasy life based on delusion.
I had a feeling it was not going to be all rainbows and kittens

Top News A stunning new Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that one of the United States Navy’s top commanders was relieved of his command a few hours ago after he sent out an “email/posting†revealing that President Barack Obama was in the process of purchasing a multi-million dollar seaside luxury villa in the United Arab Emirates city (UAE) of Dubai. According to this report, the Commander of the US Navy’s Carrier Strike Group 15, Rear Admiral Rick Williams, posted a “pointed†query on 8 January [since deleted] to the US Naval Institute’s “Readiness Kill Chain†“recipients/respondersâ€.

And so it goes in Carter’s third term.
These are the guys I’d like to see blown off the face of the planet. And the mullahs. The Persian people- not so much.
Surely, everyone is praying for these sailors. Their captors are sick beyond anything most of us can fathom.
This has to make Omaba’s SOTU speech the biggest embarrassment in SOTU history.
Wa Po is reporting that if the interrogations show they were spying, Iranian officials will take action!!!
I feel sick.
They are not releasing our people right away. Here is my shocked face. :-0
Everybody thank Allah I am not President. Silk Worm missiles or not I would give them 24 hours and then send in a sub wolfpack and start blowing Iranian warships to the bottom of the straits. That’s why I’m not President and don’t keep a loaded gun on my nightstand. :-)
Here is what REALLY happened!
The comment by Matt Bracken on the linked article at the bottom:
“I rarely pull out my dusty old trident, but in this case, here goes. I was a Navy SEAL officer in the 1980s, and this kind of operation (transiting small boats in foreign waters) was our bread and butter. Today, these boats both not only had radar, but multiple GPS devices, including chart plotters that place your boat’s icon right on the chart. The claim by Iran that the USN boats “strayed into Iranian waters” is complete bull$#it.
For an open-water transit between nations, the course is studied and planned in advance by the leaders of the Riverine Squadron, with specific attention given to staying wide and clear of any hostile nation’s claimed territorial waters. The boats are given a complete mechanical check before departure, and they have sufficient fuel to accomplish their mission plus extra. If, for some unexplainable and rare circumstance one boat broke down, the other would tow it, that’s why two boats go on these trips and not one! It’s called “self-rescue” and it’s SOP.
This entire situation is in my area of expertise. I can state with complete confidence that both Iran and our own State Department are lying. The boats did not enter Iranian waters. They were overtaken in international waters by Iranian patrol boats that were so superior in both speed and firepower that it became a “hands up!” situation, with automatic cannons in the 40mm to 76mm range pointed at them point-blank. Surrender, hands up, or be blown out of the water. I assume that the Iranians had an English speaker on a loudspeaker to make the demand. This takedown was no accident or coincidence, it was a planned slap across America’s face.
Just watch. The released sailors will be ordered not to say a word about the incident, and the Iranians will have taken every GPS device, chart-plotter etc off the boats, so that we will not be able to prove where our boats were taken.
The “strayed into Iranian waters” story being put out by Iran and our groveling and appeasing State Dept. is utter and complete BS from one end to the other.”
