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.

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

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