Fortunately, the United States has the strongest military in the world, spending $580B this year to protect the American people and American interests, almost 40 times as much as Iran spends for their military. A strong leader could crush Iran so quickly and easily that the Iranian leadership should look at Obama and quake with . . . never mind. Those American hostages are in deep trouble.

Didn’t Obama state in 2008 that he would hold in person no strings attached negotiations with Iran?

Didn’t the same thing happen during August 2014 when we were being made fools of with ISIS and all of a sudden, POW, Ferguson?

It’s almost as if Obama is using blacks to create a diversion to cover for his foreign policy failures. He wouldn’t do that now, would he?

President Jarrett will probably give them another 50 billion for signing a “America is Sorry” note for being in their backyards.

If it isn’t on CNN, it didn’t happen as far as the whitehouse knows?

Yep. Squawk Box show made a point of interrupting their show to say that reports that Iran seized a US ship are FALSE

I'm sure this is just a minor understanding with our new Iranian friends.

Giving them another $40 billion should smooth over this little problem.

Are we going to have to start tying some yellow ribbons on tress again?

Maybe tress would not participate.

This looks like a play of word. It’s being reported that us navy says false and some are reporting they said they are unaware of it. Big difference. Does the us navy have real time data of every cargo ship bearing us flag? Al arabyia claims us flag and iran fars news has confirmed.
