@jaketapper: Sources tell me the holdup with the plane leaving Iran is because Fly Dubai charter crew had exceeded flying time limit. Had to get new crew Yeah, right.
I'm on the asphalt in Iran surrounded by armed Muslims complete with automatic cannon,tanks, and AAW weapons.
I decide I have to wait for a replacement pilot and crew to land, brief, start the engines, do a pre-flight and passenger safety brief because I have been “on duty” too long?

Quick, somebody call over to the nearest golf course to alert the (P)resident. I’m sure the Kenyan in Thief will send a tersely worded letter to the Mullahs.

Mr Shoop, you are trying to assign moral equivalency?
Maybe we will talk later.

*How* many billions of taxpayer money will be given to Iran? Don't blame me. I voted for Palin.

“Landed unexpectedly”. Funny, that's what they kept saying about the dismal unemployment numbers, too...

Not certain.
Cnn says they are allowed to leave, supposedly flight crew is “waiting for relief crew”.
We will see.
Question is, what got removed from the aircraft, and what has been added to it?
