Its an Obama world.
The Obama State Department today refused to condemn the seizure of a Marshall Islands ship by the Iranian regime. Jeff Rathke from the State Department briefing refused to condemn the actions (13:57): (video at link)
Reporter: What do you consider the Iranian act? Is it a an act of piracy, act of violence?
Rathke: Again, Im this I think is underway. Im not going to apply an adjective to it right now. We are following the situation very carefully, but Im not going to
Reporter: But do you condemn it?
Rathke: Well, again, were gathering more information. I dont have further reaction at this point. Yes, Brad?
The Marshall Islands, a small country that gained independence from the U.S. in 1986, will almost definitely have to rely on the U.S. to retrieve a cargo ship flying its flag that was commandeered Tuesday by Irans Navy, apparently in Iranian waters. Via Omri Ceron

Or leave.
Obama is not going to dis his BFF now.
I reads this article but I’m too new to post, I guess.
I can’t believe what I read!!!!!
Shooting across the bows of ships.
Surrounding American ships!!!!
For GOD’s SAKE someone take a stand. This is way WAY past treason.
Jeff Rathke
Don’t suppose he’s a relative of Wade?
Iran could be sending troops to invade the USA and Obama wouldn’t condemn it!
Mission Accomplished.
He’s too worried about addressing perceived wrongs in Baltimore and Ferguson etc. and Jarrett is a traitor!!!!
If I’m not on the board tomorrow, you know what happened.
"We will take a stand.
We absolutely support and bow before Obama, for HE is our only King;
and now we return to having conservatives be attacked and abused by the IRS."
They’re not going to let anything disrupt their bill getting through the Senate. Lindsay told us that.
It’s treason and we need to see who votes for it.
Graham and Corker and who else?
Bet there are a lot of them.
All Democrats in R jerseys who need to be removed from office.
EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/AmericansThere are NO counter examples.
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
Oh buoy.
Good thing they’re using NK gunsights..lol
There were probably some high tech goodies on that ship that Biraq Hussein wants his new Iranian buddies to have, with ‘deniability’.
what does that mean in layman’s terms :)
The hussein administration: Enemy islamist cowards, all.
When are we going to surrender?
What has KIM JUNG I m big idiot hit lately? Swordfish? Lol
You mean muslim accomplished.
It wasn’t a US ship. The registry country is nothing to do with the ownership (heard the term “flags of convenience”?). The ship owner is Maersk, which is a Danish company.
American owned is what threw me. Still, their navy is nothing and to the world we are looking more and more like a joke
Doesn’t being an American owned ship lend itself to any National protection? I don’t know, just asking :)
