Ten US Sailors released in Iran!

Iran released U.S. sailors in international waters

Thank you Secretary Kerry! If we had not a degree of diplomacy with Iran, these people may end up as the Iranian hostages of the 21st century.

who could possibly deny that fact Maybe around 15-20 of the resident eXtreme rw'ers

They ventured into Iranian waters. The US will do the same thing.

If so they could have simply escorted the ship out of Iranian waters.

maybe they were spy.maybe it was just mechanical problem
iran navy must investigate ......

A ten man crew on what is the updated version of a PT boat is highly unlikely to be a spy ship if you were going to be spying you would use a submarine like we did with Russia for years a mechanical problem could have been determined where the ship was intercepted. This was Iran making a statement for the region no one messes with us not even the United States.

yes.but iran navy have routine procedure and rule like usa navy

What Iran did was commit an act of war and violate the Geneva Convention.

Well thanks to Imam Hussein Oblahblah, all of our adversaries are taking turns pissing on America, why not Iran?

 

[Roudy]

It wasn't Iranian waters.

amazing how you're the only person that has that information.

the rest of us are going off of statements from both governments that say it was, but I'm sure you know better

Iranian "claimed" waters is different than what is recognized internationally. Those waters are claimed by Iran and 4 other Arab nations.

According to you. nobody else is saying that

Nobody really "owns" the Persian Gulf, it's a body of water bordering Iran and many Arab states, and the world's most used route for oil tankers. It's been disputed over the hundreds of years, including even it's name. Technically anything beyond 12 nautical miles from the shore of a country is considered international waters, and the straight of Hormuz is in the Persian Gulf, where the sailors were captured, is about 20 miles wide.

Territorial waters or a territorial sea as defined by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,is a belt of coastal waters extending at most 12 nautical miles (22.2 km; 13.8 mi) from the baseline (usually the mean low-water mark) of a coastal state. The territorial sea is regarded as the sovereign territory of the state, although foreign ships (both military and civilian) are allowed innocent passage through it; this sovereignty also extends to the airspace over and seabed below. Adjustment of these boundaries is called, in international law, maritime delimitation.

and the reports are they were within 12 nautical miles - or what's commonly called within iranian waters

That's what the Iranians are claiming. And of course we can trust the Iranians. Don't you get it, Iran doesn't like US military and warships cruising around in the Persian Gulf, and this is just a way to put the Americans on notice.

Yes under Bonobo Iran could take the 10 Seals/Special Ops. prisoners and Bonobo would go fucking golfing. That's what a piece of flaccid cowardly piece of shit he is.

The only reason Iran released the hostages was to not jeopardize them getting the 150 billion they will use to support terrorism against the US.

 

[charwin95]

How much did we have to pay Iran and did Obungles issue an apology?

We know you're sad that this happened....just like many of you are still in mourning over this administration's getting of OBL.

Go shave your back and stop pretending you "know" everything ya annoying troll

Sure sassy..... You already posted your conspiracy theory about paying the Iranians.

 

[charwin95]

Good news that they have been released but before you praise Obama for their release you might ask yourself why did Iran feel bold enough to take them to begin with.

Because they felt like they want to grab 10 Americans 2,000 miles away from their back door.

link shit stain?

Never mind. You're an idiot

 

[charwin95]

Yeah, what did Obama give the worlds leading sponsor of terrorism this time?

And what of the 5 American hostages still in Iran?

Since you know everything. Why don't you tell us?

 

[charwin95]

This shows that even a minimal degree of diplomacy and communications between countries can be a deterrent to conflict and/or military responses. I am sure Trump was ready to "bomb the Hell out of them."

You have to be joking. Iran captured 10 of our guys to make the administration look weak.

You need to update yourself Rock..... The sailors get lost. They were NOT captured.

Do you have a link to back up your smart claim boy?

Geaux, sorry, another Republican war avoided through diplomacy. Halliburton's profits will be down again in 2016.

And nothing for Republicans to contrive into a "controversy" and attempt to exploit.

They're prolly just as mad as they were when our proud, two-term President got OBL

 

[charwin95]

So, does this prove that Iran is friendly to the US? How do the Iranian people feel about Americans?

I know lots of Iranians here in America. They love America and the people except republicans that wants to go to war. They don't like the militant government. And from what they told me most of the Iranians feel the same way in Iran. Am I right or wrong Dani?

 

[mamooth]

Give the Republicans a bit of time to recover from their confusion.

President Reagan sold 1000 TOW missiles to the Iranians as a bribe to get our people back.

Now, good Republicans always agree with everything St. Reagan did. Hence, Republicans all think that sending arms to Iran is good. It was the first idea that occurred to them here. Hence, they can't understand why President Obama didn't instantly try to bribe the Iranians with arms.

Wait, how is this considered a victory? Iran gets to be a bully and grabs American sailors in international waters, and then released the sailors after our state dept begged them. So in essence it was an act of war, and at a minimum Iran was exerting its power and had no right to grab those sailors.

This is just another instance of America not being taken seriously any longer, because we have a weak, disastrous foreign policy.

They were not in international waters. The Iranians had every right to detain them. Do you have a link to show otherwise?

It was water the Iranians, and no one else, claimed to to be theirs. They could have issued a warning instead of taking them hostage.

Hostage? Did they ever ask for a ransom or demand? Right away the Iranian government said they will release them the next day. And so they did. Good job Mr. President and Mr. Secretary.
For some reason Right wingers didn't like that and coming up with all sorts of conspiracy theories.

Pathetic....
Iran TV now airing video of US Navy Captain

Yes, when they are taken in at gunpoint, they will admit to anything, including being Martians.

 

[rcfieldz]

So what was the deal? Or I wonder what deal was made to get them released...

 

[airplanemechanic]

there were no hostages

Then what do you call these people? Guests?

 

[Roudy]

That's called a "victory for diplomacy", or, is that total humiliation of a superpower by a bunch of thugs and punks?
