But... Cheese! John Kerry is tweeting about cheese! Everything must be under control and going well.

Never mind that he has relatives loyal to Iran.

Kuwait to Bahrain straight line by air is 257 miles.
Wikipedia syas the the riverine craft have a range of 144 miles.

What is everybody freaking out about? Obama said there is no existential threat to the U.S. GM is strong! Unemployment is at 5%!

bttt surprised so few freepers tracking this

I think a lot of us are. Just not much to say with so little info at this point.

Our President is dumber than a can of dog food.

They’re not ships. They’re boats.
Each SWCC boat is 33ft long, carries a crew of 4 and up to 8 SEALS as passengers.
They have GPS and VHF/HF/UHF/FM Net & SATCOMM.
It would be hard to believe they could not communicate.

IRNA only reporting what Pentagon has reported.

Nothing official from Iran.

This could mean the IRG is rogue on this operation and Tehran may not be in control? Certainly there is nothing for the state of Iran to gain militarily or politically.

But, I can see how this could help the Republican Guard domestically.

[Mariner]

I can see them making a 250mile transit, stopping in Saudi Arabia for gas and groceries.

But they would have been hugging the beach, not 50miles off shore.

I'm thinking the left Kuwait
in a C-130

False flag???

Per Gateway Pundit:

“BREAKING: Iran Captures- Detains 2 US Ships…
UPDATE: ARRESTS 10 US Sailors – Confiscates Equipment”

[Steely Tom]

They're not ships. They're boats.

I went by the wording of the headline.

I should have realized that The Hill is not made up of seafaring salts of the seven seas.

They did say there was a woman on board, but that could just be another diversion.

When you act like an effeminate P*ssy, the world will treat you like an effeminate P*ssy.

[DiogenesLamp]

Give them 8 hours to give us EVERYTHING back, and then unleash hell.

We should have unleashed hell in 1979. Unfortunately we had another P*ssy running the country who was almost as stupid as the current one.

i>“Yeah, but they’re small ships.”

Looks like handy-sized little vessels. Iran: "We better let the sailors go but we have dibs on the boats."

[mountn man]

Jimmy Carter was stupid and naive.

This a**hole is evil.

[DiogenesLamp]

Does this stupid shit President never learn a lesson?

No. He is a fool who's only qualification is his color. Being "black" is the only reason this incompetent got elected. The thought of a "black" President gave the media and liberal donors Orgasms, and so they pulled out all the stops to cover up what an incompetent jackass he was, and with the help of a bunch of election fraud, managed to declare him the winner.
