More as we get it.

Another Jimmy Carter, another Iran hostage crisis.
Fortunately, the United States has the strongest military in the world, spending $580B this year to protect the American people and American interests, almost 40 times as much as Iran spends for their military. A strong leader could crush Iran so quickly and easily that the Iranian leadership should look at Obama and quake with . . . never mind. Those American hostages are in deep trouble.
Lol
Didn’t Obama state in 2008 that he would hold in person no strings attached negotiations with Iran?
Didn’t the same thing happen during August 2014 when we were being made fools of with ISIS and all of a sudden, POW, Ferguson?
It’s almost as if Obama is using blacks to create a diversion to cover for his foreign policy failures. He wouldn’t do that now, would he?
President Jarrett will probably give them another 50 billion for signing a “America is Sorry” note for being in their backyards.
If it isn’t on CNN, it didn’t happen as far as the whitehouse knows?
Yep. Squawk Box show made a point of interrupting their show to say that reports that Iran seized a US ship are FALSE
The Iranian Navy has reportedly seized a US ship with 34 crew members on board, for violating Iran’s waters in the Persian Gulf. An Iranian warship is taking the vessel to the city of Bandar Abbas, Fars and Al Arabiya report.
According to Al Arabiya, the Iranian Navy opened fire in the direction of the ship before seizing it.
The nationalities of the crew members are unknown.

Giving them another $40 billion should smooth over this little problem.
He’s said so many things. His spinning makes me dizzy.

WTG, Øbama, continuing on your path to out-Carter Carter.
And take away his damn pen.
This looks like a play of word. It’s being reported that us navy says false and some are reporting they said they are unaware of it. Big difference. Does the us navy have real time data of every cargo ship bearing us flag? Al arabyia claims us flag and iran fars news has confirmed.
