When you look at the videos you see basically a couple of what appears to be small fishing boats with outboards and a couple of Muzzies in them, seizing two Navy crews and their boats that are armed with automatic weapons, including .50 caliber.

Weapons seized from the American Riverine vessels, including chainguns, rifles, and belts of what appears to be .50 caliber ammunition, are laid out by the Iranian soldiers who intercepted the boats

WTF?

What am I missing?

This looks like an Obama/Kerry/Iranian set up to further humiliate America and give the Iranians a big prestige and influence boost in the Middle East. What were the ROEs? Were they to offer no resistance, for instance?

I blistered my senator years ago on the USS Cole incident. What’s up with no ammo in the guns? The chain of command is FUBAR.

Unless they were ordered to surrender by higher level US officers, then the state of readiness of our military is embarrassingly bad. Supposedly the crews failed to report their location in Iranian waters to their commanders, and apparently just surrendered instead of fighting, or maybe even being ready to fight.

If they were not ordered to surrender by the US military then they are very lucky they didn't surrender to an ISIS terror team, or some local pirates.

That is INSANE! Where is our Republican Congress. And of course there has been all but a complete and total blackout by the corrupt MSM.

That 2nd picture sums up this past 8 years.

Just one year left is all I can tell myself to not just start hitting the bottle.

Rules of Engagement

"Under NO circumstance are you authorized to fire on Iranians!"

"If you do, 20 years in Leavenworth"

Said the Muzzie on the pink bicycle who lives at 1600 Pa Ave. and his Vietnam traitor secretary, plus all the spineless weasels in the chain of command.

If the ROE prohibit firing it doesn’t matter what kind of armament you have

It was staged for the benefit of the U.S. Congress because Obama knew he was getting a lot of flack from them re having to pay Iran 1.5 billion dollars.

So, here we are with Iran taking our sailors hostage .. and the price is $1.5 billion.

And .. the worst part .. it was staged by the CIC .. at least that’s the Pentagon’s opinion .. and I just really do agree with them.

So, the conclusion is .. Seeeeeee Iran can play nice and help our sailors out .. they’re not really bad guys. We can trust them to use the $1.5 billion wisely .. Sure we can!!!

Iran: Boat seizure “should be a lesson to troublemakers in the U.S. Congress”. Hmmmm ..?? this statement told me .. this was staged to try to shame the U.S. Congress into giving Iran the money Obama promised to them.

As far as I’m concerned it’s really TREASON, compliments of the CIC.
