Look, this mission, these "sailors" and these boats probably don't officially exist. Obama can't say too much.
In fact, we should all just shut up. This is not 1979. This was a clandestine op that went bad. Hopefully, they'll just ask a few questions, let them go, and keep the boats & their top secret gadgets. If the chickenhawks start howling they will be highly irresponsible.
I just wrote a long post on that possibility, thought about it, deleted it. Good call- I agree.
Er...the genie's already out of the bottle. Like you said, it was a clandestine op.
Really? How do you come to that conclusion?

They probably just went off course from Kuwait to Bahrain or they were intercepted in international waters, but Obama will cover for the Iranians so as not to lose the Iranian deal.
