Didn't this happen to the Brits a few years ago? Iran isn't going to hurt them and the last thing you want to do is make it a big deal which is what they want. Idiot on MSNBC is stomping his feet insisting Obama should make demands his speech tonight. Duh...

all were released as of 0500 BBC Check out a map they were heading from kuwait to bahrain and got picked up around the farsi Islands .. 2 small boats running at High speed who approved that route ?? No reason for the Iran to detain the crews but their armed forces act independent of their Government most of the time

Sounds like a little cat and mouse didn't go as planned the out come could have been worse

I don't know what you think it says in Spence context(and don't really care) but I bet you get a chubby and dreamily fantasize that Obama could have been a great fighter pilot when you look at that picture...

That's not an astute demand to make.

Spence, how about the fact that the Pakistani doctor that helped us get Bin Laden is still in a Pakistani prison? And we still send tons of cash to Pakistan? Obama couldn't make THAT deal? He couldn't threaten to hold up payments until the guy was released?

When we elect a POTUS who has never done anything in the real world, who has spent his entire life in Ivy League faculty rooms, this is what you get. If you were directing a sitcom for TV, and you wanted to cast an uber-liberal Ivy League professor to show that education doesn't equate to real-life problem-solving ability, you couldn't come up with a better character than Obama, he is right out of central casting.

A lot of fail in the planning and perhaps execution of this little cruise. Plus Murphy (and the Iranians) gets a vote.
