Where is the minister and other 3 innocent prisoners?

I wouldn’t give them any of the 150 billion until all the prisoners are released.

[Guenevere]

Surely hope this is true!

[metmom]

I think they’re trying to make obama and the dems look good.

It’s an election year and they probably remember what happened last time they took prisoners just before an election.

This was a horsecrap story to begin with. First of all SEALS don’t surrender.

[libh8er]

1979 all over again. They will release the rest on Nov 8th, the day Trump gets elected.

[muir_redwoods]

the response to this kidnapping should have been the firm assurance 100 cruise missiles will be rearranging Tehran inside of 60 minutes if the sailors and their ships, with topped off fuel tanks, we’re not released immediately.

[LostPassword]

I'd like to see Iran's media. I imagine it's something like

We (Iran) can say we won't follow the agreement that we didn't sign; test missiles in violation of the agreement; and even capture the great satan's soldiers; and the US is still giving us $150 billion. The Ayatollah is more powerful than Obama and Iran is more powerful than the US.

[don-o]

Source quotes Iran as claiming Marines apologized.

[LibWhacker]

Did Obama promise to crawl on his belly like a worm to Tehran dragging a sack full of 300 million apologies from America and another sack full of one trillion dollars in ransom money?

[armydawg505]

These Sailors were being held hostage while Obama was telling Congress and the world we are the strongest military in the world. How can one man be such a liar and sleaze?

[austinaero]

I wonder if Obama Inc had the US Navy ‘deliver’ something to Iran. Possibly not even the sailors on board were in on it...?

This whole situation has a smell to it.

[xzins]

Not to be too hard on these guys, but they’re not supposed to get captured.

I’m not too hard on them, because I’d like to see if it was staged.

[Timber Rattler]

This is what Obama's Middle East policy looks like...

[central_va]

Look for a major GITMO release - soon.

[BenLurkin]

Where are our boats?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Its a good thing they released those people. As ticked off as the American public is in general right now there would be calls for Obama’s head on a platter if he didn’t retaliate.

[Grampa Dave]

Obama recently fired the Admiral in charge of our Carrier Groups, and replaced him with what appears to be a bull dyke lesbo.

Then we have the IRG telling/threatening us not to bring or keep a carrier in that area.

In Kerry’s statement, he mentioned “if not properly guided.”

I heard that read and thought of something else entirely. This phrase MIGHT be translated for the Iranians and Arabs as ‘rightly guided.’ That phrase specifically references caliphs, the ‘Rashidun.’ Used for the first 4 caliphs, this was also used by the Abbasids, whose empire included Iran.

AKA, this phrase specifically recognizes the supremacy of those caliph/leaders who are ‘rightly guided,’ in the sense of submission.

See:

Someone in the Navy ordered these sailors to surrender to the vile Iranians.
