You don’t believe “mechanical problems “ do you? ON TWO BOATS ? Who are they kidding here? How did this happen? Lost at sea my rear!! It’s GPS on two boats.

Surrender, hands up, or be blown out of the water. I assume that the Iranians had an English speaker on a loudspeaker to make the demand. This takedown was no accident or coincidence, it was a planned slap across America’s face.

I think it was planned. We had 10 returned to us so Obama could release 10 more terrorists from Gitmo.
I wondered why one boat couldn’t tow the other.
