We were in their waters, even if by accident. Yes its a PR coup for Iran that this happened, but end of the day, America is not a paper tiger... Obama is.

Puts a whole new perspective on those liberals who claim an army of patriots couldn't possibly overwhelm the all powerful US military and homeland security apparatus.

Two armed navy boats surrender to a couple of Iranian guys in fishing boats with rifles - even though the navy guys had a couple of machine guns, and plenty of rifles, backup from other ships, etc. So much for showing the "strength" of our military.

Were is the fishing boat? All I see is heavily armed Iranian patrol boats.

Iran now has two our latest coastal water boats as well as the layout and comm gear. This goes with there the British boats they captured a while back and the RQ-170 Sentinel that they somehow took control over.

Could we arrange for these downtrodden, impoverished Iranian freedom fighters to accidentally capture say the Truman or may be at least an Aegis equipped destroyer, please mr. musliminchief?

What is that a Boston Whaler they surrendered to? Are you kidding me! There must have been a big cutter standing by otherwise just kill me now.
