This was a perfect opportunity for the USA to invade and take the island, and establish a permanant naval base there, like Guantanamo.

But Obama? No, he is too busy un-using the military power at his disposal.

Obama missed out, the 10 sailors have been returned as of 3:55 Am AST.

Under the current administration this could be a time period where major death blows are delivered to the US and the West.

A year under Ovomit is an eternity...

It’s an accepted alternate spelling, especially in Britain.

Gov. Nikki Haley “responds” to the Fraud’s speech last night by attacking the leading Republican presidential candidate.

The TDS FReaks “respond” to Hussein’s strange “two {small} boats lost power all at once” event by attacking the leading Republican presidential candidate.

LMFAO!

“What is fact and what is fiction? Have they been released and secondly what did we do to get them released?”

In another thread, it’s being reported that “we” apologized.

Something stinks about this. Sounds like it was an op FOR Iran. Can’t ever believe Big Media about anything.

Funny how we’re about to release their money, the 150 billion dollars?

I’d double down and send our warships as close as they want to be. This is ridiculous. These guys are saying the Farsi Island is theirs?
