Perhaps the ship is named Tonkin Gulf?
I don’t like this. I hope this isn’t true.
Deny, deny, deny. . .until The Messiah signs that treaty with Iran and then admit the ship was taken and it was their own fault for straying into the Persian Gulf whilst flying and American flag. . .how dare they.
Our government denies everything. I don’t believe anything they say.
Marie Harf?
Per later reports, it is a Dutch ship from the Maersk line.
Are you sure they weren’t flying a white flag?
Fox is going to have a report on this in a few minutes.
Live thread over there at top of breaking news.
Hah. . .under orders from Obozo, no doubt.
/sig
Are there any US crewmen aboard?
It’s a stall tactic the Administration.....
They were caught off guard trying to stir things up in Baltimore, and now they do not know how to react.
When the Saudi’s are reporting it... You can bet it’s happening.
A while back someone conjectured that if Iran set off a nuke in America that Obama would surrender.
“Our government denies everything. I dont believe anything they say.”
Ditto.

Iran is not playing along with Hussein's narrative that we are now buddies and has no desire at military dominance or getting nukes, so perhaps another lie to the public is in order?
Sad, but there is very little the Feds say anymore that I believe without multiple confirmations.
