Not exactly the thing you want to have happen right before the State of the Union.
Also, time to buy oil?

Well they said they will be returned pretty much immediately. How the US can even dream of lifting sanctions after this and other shit they've done recently (test firing missles) is beyond me. Not only will they be overflowing the market with a shit ton of oil that will essentially bankrupt a bunch of US companies but they will use the money to fund terrorism. It's a fucking joke. The US comes out and says Fuck Iran and that they aren't lifting sanctions then oil will go up $10 a barrel overnight.Quote:

Immediately, became tomorrow morning, became calling them Passengers instead of Sailors or Navy to skit international law.
I am sure we are putting massive pressure on them to release them quickly.
Say what you will about George W Bush, but his crazy ass would have planes in the air and special forces on the ground.
wtf did they think would happen when they went into iranian waters?
as for "tomorrow morning," they said early wednesday gulf time, which is 2-6 hours from now.
I haven't followed it since it came up as breaking news a few hours ago on my phone. It just said would be released immediately but I'm not surprised with what is being said here. It's a clown show in the White House.
You guys realize the US was the one in the wrong here, right? I think we're being treated pretty fairly, all things considered.
Pretty silly to criticize Iran for this, IMO.
You almost can't make this shit up. The timing seems too perfect. Right before SOTU and two days before Republican Debate. Almost like big media plants this shit in the news so people tune in and they make more money on advertising.
It sounds like one of the boats was disabled, the other boat wouldn't leave them and the disabled boat floated into Iran waters.Quote:

There was literally no reason to detain them.
Oh shit, anyone else smell an uncircumcised cock? Eagerly awaiting the America sucks kill us all post. sniff sniff.

Would the U.S. detain Iran ships if they floated into our water?Quote:

LOL. Being in their water is pretty much a guarantee of detainment, just like if they were in ours.Quote:

And how dare they testfire misiles within their own sovereign territory lol.
We would surely detain them while offering said support. What would not happen, under ANY circumstances, is an immediate release.Quote:

on CBS radio was a report that the area is question is a complex one of national and international boundaries
but in a world with GPS, its hard for me to understand how two military vessels could accidentally sail/drift into foreign waters
indeed where could you find a sailor stupid enough to wander into another country's area???
Because the ship broke the fuck down.Quote:

Anyone smell that?
honest question... how big are these navy ships that only hold 10 people??
I think they are inflatables that go in the water off a bigger boat.Quote:

I believe these are the boats
they were apparently moving between kuwait and bahrain at the time, so i guess it's "possible" that it could have drifted.
They were smaller battle vessels launched from larger battle ships..Quote:

If a layman criticizes American in battle zones??
My uncle would even tell me "Stfu" talk and shiny metals on your chest have no value. Shit doesn't hang well. If u weren't there "u don't know".
Easy to talk brave from a couch.
But.
It's a little a bit of a shame that we have politically correct admirals and feminist leaders in the military.
Every one else was drummed out under this administration..
To capture sailers doing a mission under the watch full eye of the battle group is ????
They should of stepped up and forced the Iranians to step down..
Under Obama I guess the guy that refused to negotiate during the battle of the bulge would have been court marshalled.
They boats were CB-90s, which are made for fast attacks, dropping off special forces personnel, high speed and maneuverability in shallow waters, emergency medical situations and evacuations, all manner of things. They are exactly what a foreign country would not allow in their nation's waterways and within their territory. The CB, btw, stands for Combat Boat.
Also, you will be interested to know, they come with fucking anchors built right in, probably for things like not drifting into enemy waters when shit might go wrong just outside a sovereign nations boundaries. Also, maps and GPS and other tools designed to keep you where you intend to be are included.
Also, they are not inflatable.
