This looks like an Obama/Kerry/Iranian set up to further humiliate America and give the Iranians a big prestige and influence boost in the Middle East. What were the ROEs? Were they to offer no resistance, for instance?
ROEs:
1) Find a current drawing craft into Iranian waters.
2) Cut engines and drift.
3) No resistance is to be offered. Get captured.
4) Do whatever the Iranians say. Remember, we know where your families live.
5) You will be released soon enough, maybe. Remember, we know where your families live.
Humiliation of the USA was another fundamental transformation brought to us by Zer0.
However, the Iranian Government caption for the captured Navy personnel photo about being captured by the superior Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy was very reminiscent of the boastful Japanese propaganda in WWII.
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.
