He’s picking up James Taylor so the two of them can fly over there. Then he will look on with a tear in his eye while JT warbles “You’ve got a friend “.

That $400 million was money to be used for Hezbollah. It has nothing to do with hostages.

The ship by itself is nothing without a willing crew. The culture that Obama has destroyed will take decades to reverse

Two different events.

First one: the US ship did not do squat. The captain won’t be court marshalled, although like you I’d love to see it.

Second one: the US ship actually fired warning shots. The captain probably will be court marshalled or relieved of command. That will pizz me off. Don’t want to see it.

I am ashamed of the government. We need an ass kicking ahole with a tire tool. I am sick of this $hit!! Go Trump. !~!

Yup, twice.

Actually three times counting when the captain unbelievably allowed his ship to be boarded and his sailors to be detained.

This last time though, the crew fired (albeit just warning shots). Of course the Islamist pukes turned tail and ran away.

PS I really do expect that POS Obama to have his staff relieve that Captain of command for the temerity of defending his ship. /VERY sadly, not sarc

Let's see....$400,000.00 for 4 hostages......

Worse than that. Obama gave them $1.3 billion dollars in interest on top of that $400 million dollars. Now when we're owed money back from the government, they don't give us interest. But Obama gave our enemy interest on the money they wanted. A total of $1.7 billion dollars! Divide that by 4 hostages!

Damned the warning shots, what the Navy needs is some direct hits!

What the heck does a Navy ship need an automatic grenade launcher for?
