Weapons seized from the American Riverine vessels, including chainguns, rifles, and belts of what appears to be .50 caliber ammunition, are laid out by the Iranian soldiers who intercepted the boats
WTF?
What am I missing? 
Ordered by either 0bama or Kerry to do so.
Trump was in a video?
This video went all over the Arab world and WILL recruit people to fight the U.S.
Hey, the guy did what he thought he had to do to save his life and his crew’s life. Perhaps he was under orders to surrender.
But this is a real propaganda crew for the Muslims that hate America.

Notice that the Stupid Party or any of the Republican candidates aren’t talking about this. No, the Stupid Party is going to confirm yet another one of Obama’s leftist judges come Tuesday.
Barry loves watching the American military being humiliated. Those wascally white men needed to be humiliated a little bit to help with the DemocRATS’ feminization of American men. They’re too cowboyish with their “assault weapons” and all. The regime is castrating the military and law enforcement. It’s a druggie thing.
why their commander let them be ‘captured’ defies all logic... unless O ordered it
at any event, I do not blame the crewman for apologizing...
all issues of honor aside, being captured by the Islamonazis means we really should (imho) cut them some slack....in my opinion, just my personal view is all
may God bless all our crewmen!
Just like Benghazi.. Another 'stand down'. America is no longer the world's superpower. 0blama wants IRAN to be.
It’s been 45 years since my class on duties of an American POW but I recall being taught to say as little as possible.Unless this officer had orders from a superior to do what he did I wonder if he could be brought up on charges.
Maybe they were loaded up with new furniture for Obama’s new place at the Palm Jumeirah in Qatar.
Does anyone know how many ot the boats were returned?
Woulda been nice if he wasn’t looking happy and smirking.
This wasn’t exactly the saga of the USS Samuel B Roberts, the destroyer that fought like a battleship. Shameful.
Looking at a map I don’t believe it would be possible for the US boats to inadvertently violate Iranian waters.
It’s right down the coast. Heck navigating by the sun would have been obvious whether they were traveling east into foreign waters. They could have kept the shoreline in view the whole way.
Something doesn’t compute.
Either they were following a GPS that was punked/jammed to lead them off course. Possible
Were on a mission intentionally into Iranian waters. Unlikely.
What else?
And by the way, why couldn’t the second boat tow the broken down boat, IF that is what happened.
Something very fishy about this incident.
Court martial him.
My god. I do hate our president. Never thought that was possible. I didn’t hate BJ Clinton but this one is pure evil.
I was a little uncomfortable with his smile......sue me.
Will we ever see Lt. David Nartker being interviewed by the media??? Obama will make it IMPOSSIBLE!
Lt. David Nartker should have stated his name serial number and told them to kiss his ass period.
A post from FB on Allen West’s article:
Matt Bracken’s thoughts: “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.” - Matt Bracken
