Iran is getting ready to get a bunch of terror loot from obama, and this whole thing seems like it was well planned out to make Iran look good.
..and put 10 American sailors on their knees at gun point, breaking International Law ...
Yup, sounds like an Obama plan...
What would the US Coast Guard do, and how are they trained when such an encounter occurs?
Do you believe they would welcome the Iranians and offer them food and a prayer rug?
Earlier this year I was on a cruise ship when the Capt. announced over the 1MC that a raft was seen and the crew was getting ready to effect a rescue.
The raft held 8 Cuban men and one ten you old boy, it was made of scrap material and they had lost their outboard motor several days before (we learned most of this later). As we watch the rescue it was very clear, though the weapons were not visible, that the crew was armed as they approached the raft very slowly and carefully.
I had brought alone my field glasses and my wife was watching through them and narrated to those around us the number aboard, some she could see under a tarp.
The approach by the rescue craft took nearly an hour, and the men were brought aboard half at a time. They were interviewed searched and secured somewhere below. Only then did the second group come aboard.
We latter learned they were Cuban's trying to sale to Mexico. Anyone who has sailed the gulf understands how large a body of water it is and how long the transit would be from Cuba to Mexico. They were damn luck we came alone when we did.
