I’m sure Obozo will apologize for offending the Iranians and will offer even more concessions as proof of his sincerity.

Doubt the American press will mention it for awhile.
I’ll be surprised if they do.

On the bright side, obama can once again exceed Carter’s failures!

In this case by 189 days...

Probably a boatload of US uranium . . .
Skip all the middle parties and ‘ship direct’!
The crew had no idea what they were hauling . . .
Thanks, Bill, Hill, & O-Kerry . . .

“Nothing to be alarmed about. I’m sure it is probably part of Økerry’s deal with Iran, where they get some ships and crew in exchange for us giving them free reign to destroy Israel.”

And nukes. Can’t forget about the nukes.

Why the heck weren’t Maverick and Ice sent in?

Seriously; why has nothing been done?

Turn their military into glass.

from Channel NewsAsia

Saudi-owned TV says Iran detains US cargo ship in Gulf

"The channel said the force had "opened fire" on the U.S. ship, which had 34 U.S. sailors aboard. It gave no further details. The U.S. Fifth Fleet in the Gulf Arab kingdom of Bahrain had no immediate comment on the report."

At this point what difference does it make?

So some Iranians felt like going out for a cruise one night?
