Obama’s rules of engagement again got our finest in trouble. They have enough firepower on those boats to repel anything. Yet they got captured without a fight.
This is BS!
Did Kerry get James Taylor to sing “You’ve Got a Friend” to the Iranians?
I'd like to know what time locally it occurred, too.
We’re we really in their waters? Or is this more Obama spin to keep the Iran deal on track?
Was this before or after we apologized?
Hitler didn’t. He steam rolled through countries.
Was this an unarmed naval ship? If so why?
Was there no air support available? If not why not?
Did our Commander in Chief immediately contact Iran and explain to them the sailors would be released post haste or a Tomahawk missile would be taking out one of their nuke producing plants? If not why not?
About the Female sailor forced to cover her head...If that is to respect their beliefs, why is it not appropriate for all Muslims in America to remove head coverings in respect for our customs, and for security purposes? Doesn’t seem to go both ways, does it??? Just sayin..
wow..
only Obama could allow a small battleship to be captured by a weekend fishermans boat!
I’m sure we sent them more money than we had seized originally. You know, interest......
Puts a whole new perspective on those liberals who claim an army of patriots couldn't possibly overwhelm the all powerful US military and homeland security apparatus.
Two armed navy boats surrender to a couple of Iranian guys in fishing boats with rifles - even though the navy guys had a couple of machine guns, and plenty of rifles, backup from other ships, etc. So much for showing the "strength" of our military.
Dear God, I miss Ronald Reagan.
What if it was a set-up to make Obama look good? How did two vessels become disabled at the same time? Why didn’t the Americans fight back? Why were they released so quickly? I don’t believe anything Obama or Kerry say about anything ever.
Mr President set up our Navy to make Iran look good. Or was he using the Navy to ‘deliver’ something to Iran, other than PR?
Something smells rotten about this whole thing!
Unless someone, or something comes up showing Iran was the aggressor, its hard to jump on that one.
Our military is not a Paper Tiger, Obama is.. 1 more year and he’s gone
give proper respect to Allah and our Iranian allies!
Were is the fishing boat? All I see is heavily armed Iranian patrol boats.
Iran now has two our latest coastal water boats as well as the layout and comm gear. This goes with there the British boats they captured a while back and the RQ-170 Sentinel that they somehow took control over.
Could we arrange for these downtrodden, impoverished Iranian freedom fighters to accidentally capture say the Truman or may be at least an Aegis equipped destroyer, please mr. musliminchief?
Sad to say but as long as the Iranian born right-hand woman is defiling the interior of our White House with her presence, you can’t convince me she didn’t orchestrate this event on behalf of her Iranian brethren.
Biden: Hey, Iran was just helping out our boats in distress, Kerry thanks Tehran

A Iranian fishing boat captures two armed U S naval vessels and takes the crews prisoner. Now that will make a real recruiting video for the heathens.
