"You boys on board with our plans regarding that Navy incident in Iran, right?"
"Yes, sir! We're all in unison in the Senate - except for one or two thorns in my side"
"I know what you mean, Mitch! Don't worry, Mr. President!"

There's no point pretending the illegal seizure and release of America's sailors is anything other a huge propaganda victory for Iran - and a humiliation for the United States. Insofar as there was a strategic calculation behind Obama's outreach to the mullahs, it was that the nuclear deal and the lifting of sanctions would incentivize the Islamic Republic to start behaving like any other house-trained member of the community of nations. In other words, they'd stop pulling this stuff.
As it was, Joe Biden and John Kerry could not resist bragging that the swift resolution of this situation was testament to the new hunky-dory Washington-Teheran relationship. Vice-President Biden:
They released them, like ordinary nations would do. That's the way nations should deal with one another. That's why it's important to have channels open.
Secretary Kerry:
I'm appreciative for the quick and appropriate response of the Iranian authorities... and I think we can all imagine how a similar situation might have played out three or four years ago.
We don't have to imagine how a similar situation might have played out, you botoxicated buffoon, because it's played out before, with mind-numbing regularity. This time round they seized ten US sailors. Nine years ago they seized 15 Royal Navy sailors and Royal Marines. One of the Brits was of the female persuasion. Here's what I wrote in 2007:
The token gal was dressed up as an Islamic woman...
Does that sound familiar? Why, golly, here we are in 2016, and this time round the token US gal was also made to wear a hijab.

Who kneels down before Iranians? What the hell is wrong with these sailors?
I am fed up. Where are the GOPeahens? Why up in Ballamore plotting their “agenda” for the year. I am sure our “representative” Richard Hanna is advising them on how to eat pate with panache.
“Just one year left is all I can tell myself to not just start hitting the bottle.”
I’m with you. The thing that stings the most is the capons in Congress not immediately removing this marixist muslim America-hating faggot illegal alien.
They are the farking traitors. Obama was NEVER an American.
I’m waiting for Yeb! to express his outrage over this at tonight’s debate.
Impeach the bastard son of a whore. Yes, I said it. And it’s true.
Stern must not want his own show, because he is hands down the most brilliant.
Someone who doesn’t want to get their head blown off. Easy to comment from an armchair.
It was staged for the benefit of the U.S. Congress because Obama knew he was getting a lot of flack from them re having to pay Iran 1.5 billion dollars.
So, here we are with Iran taking our sailors hostage .. and the price is $1.5 billion.
And .. the worst part .. it was staged by the CIC .. at least that’s the Pentagon’s opinion .. and I just really do agree with them.
So, the conclusion is .. Seeeeeee Iran can play nice and help our sailors out .. they’re not really bad guys. We can trust them to use the $1.5 billion wisely .. Sure we can!!!
Iran: Boat seizure “should be a lesson to troublemakers in the U.S. Congress”. Hmmmm ..?? this statement told me .. this was staged to try to shame the U.S. Congress into giving Iran the money Obama promised to them.
As far as I’m concerned it’s really TREASON, compliments of the CIC.
Think Bitch and Rumpswab will bring up the question of where the boats are on the floors of Congress? Me neither.
This was also staged to give Iran the two boats for future use.
Yes, it was a set up.
And .. it was to assure the Congress would give the Iranians the $1.5 billion Obama promised to them; because Obama was able to show that Iran knew how to play nice.
This is so juvenile, petty, and 10 million other things; I’m ready to run out of my house screaming.
Probably .. since they kept them .. and they will now be able to rear-engineer them and build them AGAINST US.
Lovely.
That is also TREASON.
What alarm bells were first?
Happened on the day of the SOTU?
White Hut "expected" a quick release ahead of time?
