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.

“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.”
Not good enough. We need to level two cities to let them know we want them released, their boat fixed and 4 billion
barrels of oil or we level the rest of the country.

Those poor sailors likely will not be released during Obamas tenure as president. The Iranians pown Obama.
The next president will have to negotiate their release, Obama never even mentioned them in his State of Confusion address.
Dropping someone off for Special Ops?
Picking them up perhaps.
German U-Boats did that in WW2 for the U.S.
I read on another thread that one is female.
If Obama has a hostage crisis on her hands, she will wash her hands of the crisis. Problem solved!
I have to ask: Are you being sarcastic? There are a number of international games and diplomatic bobby traps now set for Obama to stumble through, no matter what he does at this point.
A calm and measured response
Can he at least get our drone back?
But was anyone’s gender preference attacked? Did anyone not have a proper chance to lactate?
That might get Obama’s attention.
PS We should tell the Iranian pukes to release our sailors immediately or we will sink every boat they have — and glass Tehran.
Maes me think, we should say, give us our service people or you don’t get your 150 billion. That would tell us how interested in this deal they are. (and if they don’t care that much about the 150 billion we’re in worse trouble than we thought.)
