Wasn't somebody just in trouble for divulging classified information?

[GeronL]

This could get interesting

Been there, done that. Literally.

Iran=Somali Pirates=Barbary Pirates.

Great. Noe Allah has a few trillion dollars of new targets and thousands of American military to accept as muslim offerings to him.

Not like they will be allowed to do anything. Sorta like a cop in Baltimore.

Let us make a treaty with them and we will not have to do this, do I need a sarc tag

[ModelBreaker]

Hmmm. What about destroying each of the Iranian ships that captured our ship and destroying the port it is being held at. Total destruction. That would reduce our “escort a bunch of ships” expenses.

US Navy to accompany US-flagged ships in Persian Gulf after Iran seizes vessel

U.S. Navy ships will begin to accompany U.S. flagged commercial ships as they travel the Strait of Hormuz, a defense official confirmed to Fox News, on the heels of Iran seizing a cargo ship.

Pray for our Sailors and Marines in harms way!

Instead of just telling Iran: stay away or pay the price, we now have to have military ships escorting cargo?

What a wise use of taxpayer dollars.

I guarandamntee you this is another example of Obama's Jimmy Carter-like weakness.

Heck, scratch that. Jimmy Carter is Arnold Schwarzenegger IN HIS PRIME compared to Barack "Wally Cox" Hussein Obama.

However, by all means, let’s do a “deal” with Iran. Gawd, this Nation and others are being run buy Chamberlains. And I only got a GED.

[mosaicwolf]

Reminds me of Operation Earnest Will in the 1980s.

[stevie_d_64]

Lessee, we need to brake out the playbook from the 1980’s one more time...

[Bon mots]

Why does CNN get access to classified information ahead of, say FOX? Is the government picking winners and losers? Is there a leak?

[Bon mots]

Obama should bow before their supreme leader. That ought to help.

[BradyLS]

How many commercial ships over there are flying US flags?

Answering my own question, they may all start flying them! Free US Navy escort!
