Iran's supreme leader has awarded medals to navy commanders for capturing U.S. sailors who entered Iranian territorial waters this month, Iran's state media said on Sunday.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has said Iran should remain wary of its arch-enemy the United States even after a landmark accord over Tehran's nuclear program, awarded the Fath (Victory) medal to the head of the navy of the Revolutionary Guards and four commanders involved in the seizure of two U.S. Navy boats.

I assume that they will be given an invite to the White House in the near future.

Why not give one to Obama, also..?
He could dress up in Persian finery for the event.

I wonder what our guys and girl got out of all of it?
Besides a reprimand and a hard time.

Why not give one to Obama, also..? That's a good question, if the rumors that the sailors were instructed to co-operate with the Iranians, and that the Iranians were notified that the boat was off-course by our Government.

“They shouldnât have been in Iranian waters in the first place”
It ain’t up to a broke di*k country like Iran to the the US Navy where or where it can or can’t go.
To: GOPJ
Kerry might not be able to help himself. He might grab the medals as they’re being placed on the sailors’ necks and throw them over the fence surrounding Khameini’s tent.
