Two U.S. Navy boats have been seized by Iran, with state media accusing the 10 crew on board of 'snooping'.

The Pentagon says it lost contact with two small riverine vessels in the Persian Gulf on Tuesday after they were captured by the Islamic republic's coast guard.

Ten American sailors were on board when one of the boats reportedly suffered mechanical issues and drifted into Iranian waters.

Does Jimmy Carter 2 have a hostage crisis on his hands?

[TBP]

We need to grab 20 or so of theirs and let them know that they see their people only if and when we see ours.

[Sgt_Schultze]

My same thoughts. The last time we had an immature, inexperienced, unqualified feckless wimp as president, we had hostages in Iran.

BIG TIME !

[LeoWindhorse]

exactly WHO was the USN fleet commander that gave the orders for them not to resist and allow themselves to be captured ???

inquiring minds want to know

I propose a trade- obama for our Sailors! Hillary for our boats.

Why do this? Because they can, and it provides a perverse delight of spitting in the reddened eyes of the Great Satan, only to make him blink and blink, disgustingly helpless in his impotent disatifaction.

“America Held Hostage” - Part Deux

Someone alert Ted Koppel.

How incompetent has the Navy become? No warship anywhere nearby. 200 miles in a riverboat across open water to a party port. The second boat didn’t have a line and take the other into tow?
And they simply went out of comms with no radio call about imminent contact/capture?

Embarrassing. Can anyone imagine sailing up to 2 WWII PT boats and telling them to surrender? Embarrassing.

Hostile territory. Why no backup nearby? I remember the Pueblo. Hung out to dry in 68’.

"The last time we had an immature, inexperienced, unqualified feckless wimp as president, we had hostages in Iran."

Let's do the Time Warp again!

[TigerClaws]

I’m hearing it was a spy mission of some sort. There may have been a firefight as well. It’s all being spun by Obama.

Fox needs to start a HOSTAGE DAY 2 countdown.

[rockinqsranch]

Only problem with that is we’d be stuck with the b-stards, ‘cause the Iranians would write them off.

[doc1019]

Unfortunately they don’t give a crap about their own, so this wouldn’t work.

[cornfedcowboy]

What does overnight mean? It is now daybreak in the Gulf. I am curious as to when this actually happened. How long have they been in Iran’s hands? Anyone know?

[LeoWindhorse]

a Captain cannot command a fleet , it must be a VADM . Who’s in charge over there right now ? Or is this another Valerie Jarrett - Susan Rice call ?

[Georgia Girl 2]

So one of two heavily armed fast boats broke down and the other one could not tow it out of Iran’s territorial waters? So they drifted along together until captured by the Iranian coast guard. Hmmmm.
