BREAKING NEWS:two US Navy boats in Iranian custody - Pentagon

[OnePercenter]

I simply responded to your idiotic suggestion both boats had navigational problems at the same time. You're easily led....and duped

Navigation equipment isn't perfect. For example my boat has GPS, radar, and compass. You never rely on just one. Something happened.

i can not see a way for the obama admin to milk it. it was the obvious hope voiced by many posters that this episode could become a redux of the carter/reagan election of 1980. so sad...

The low thinkers of the USMB.

Yeah like thinking two US naval vessels BOTH lost navigation at the exact same time...low thinker

one faulty system could cause neither boat to know which had the correct info.

Likely its a response to Iran's firing off missiles close to our ships a while back.

You can bet the Iranians do not want to actually invite an attack by the US navy.

This made our navy seem rather effeminate.

LOL Only in the eyes of a layman.

What is it with people that are so desperate and ready at the drop of a hat to paint our military as less than.

So for those of you who don't participate in real world thought. At what point does anyone look at our military and think, well today they didn't destroy the Earth so they must be weak. It is the most bizarre way to look at things and it is exactly how the bugbrains at Faux News look at things. They are terrified of any whisper of negativity towards anything on 'their team'.

It is meaningless in reality. But people who are uber insecure any little hint at weakness makes them feel weak.

That's just what Obama needs, an Iran Hostage crisis of his own, to one up Carter.

Obama got the hostages back without selling arms and pardoning a faux news contributor.

they weren't hostages, and it is so so sad that this episode couldn't be milked to somehow get an R elected in november. little january surprise failed to become the october surprise.

Someone should put together half a dozen Congressional enquiries.

They are a terrorist supporting state. Don't give a **** what they think.

How The CIA Helped Create Osama Bin Laden

During in the 1970s, when the Russia was the biggest threat to America and radical Islam was not as a concern of the USA’s, the USA began funding and training Islamic militants to fight our Russian enemies in Afghanistan.
These militants, known as the mujahideen would rebel the Russians out of Afghanistan and later become the Taliban, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.
One of the most prominent members of he mujahideen was a wealthy son of a Saudi Arabian businessman named Osama Bin Laden.
National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski visited Afganistan in 1979 and met with Bin Laden and even took a picture with him. Brzezinski would tell the mujahideen

What was that about states funding terrorists?
