1. "two small boats that had drifted into Iranian waters"
C   (01.13.16)
how can "two small boats" have mechanical problems simultaneously and then just drift together into the clutches of iran's revolutionary guard corps--and this just before the state of the union and just before the implementation of the fake iran deal. as they say in england, "something stinks in the state of denmark." there is no doubt that these american vessels were captured by iran both as a provocation and to gather information on those vessels which were not guarded. obama is still waiting for his uav that iran diverted and stole with the help of a super power. the us military could have destroyed or else recuperated that uav but obama refused to allow it. obama is never on the side of the angels.

3. Common Iran - Show Obama whose the boss
MadDad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (01.13.16)
Any bets the current administration will do nothing? (except cower before the great state of Iran)
4. Obama is amazing....
Beary White ,   Norway   (01.13.16)
After the delivery of the drone to Iran, and klindly sending the stinger as a present, what has he delivered this time to Iran?? With TWO boats, there should be no problem to stay away of Iranian waters, just one boat towing the other... So, we must suggest mr Soetero has delivered his last present to the Iranian leadership, the released prisoner of OSAMA bin Laden.!!! As he said in his final speech ."..just ask Osama bin laden..."
5. Get Over It
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (01.13.16)
The boats were on a trip from Kuwait to Bahrain. One broke down - both drifted into Iranian waters. Iran rendered assistance and asked some questions. Boats and personnel released and went on their way. Nobody died, no war broke out. What a disappointment to some talkback posters.
6. OBAMA AND CAMERON
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (01.13.16)
OBAMA THE WEAKLING. DESTROY IRAN NOW LONG LIVE ISRAEL.
7. A Clumsy US Provocation ?
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (01.13.16)
I Quote - The Navy chief of the powerful Iranian Revolutionary Guard said Wednesday that the American boats showed "unprofessional acts" for 40 minutes before being picked up by Iranian forces after entering the country's territorial waters. They said some type of mechanical trouble with one of the boats caused them to drift into Iranian territorial waters near the island, and they were picked up by Iran. Comment - Why did not the other boat drag the one with mechanical problems away from Iranian Waters. Are the crews onboard such clumsy amateurs, that they dont understand this ? Hardly !. Arn.Sweden.
8. To quote Dougie F, We did that XXXX on purpose.
Murray the K ,   Brooklyn, NY   (01.13.16)
We let two boats drift in-to Iran. We did that XXXX on purpose. We almost started WWIII. We did that XXXX on purpose.
9. Another example of how America is already gone.
Brad ,   USA   (01.13.16)
Two U.S. Navy gunboats "taken into custody" by our enemies. Why wasn't the Iranian craft(s) sunk? Why have guns on the gunboats at all if you won't use them. It is fitting that these gunboats were attached to a carrier strike group named after Harry Truman. Truman was the first commander in chief (so called) to roll over for UN rules of engagement, which has caused the needless deaths of U.S. Military personnel for decades and is still doing so. Puke!

Except, this was not a fishing trip or a boyscout excursion. It was US Navy operation. You just witnessed what happened to Russian jets that briefly entered sovereign country air space.
11. 8 Murray the K., Brooklyn, NY: The US military
(01.13.16)
top brass in 2013 sent a delegation to Moscow to talk to Vladimir Putin about thwarting BO's attempts to start WWIII. In late 2013, BO fired a US Navy Admiral, a USMC General, and a USAF General for refusing to nuke US cities such as Charleston Harbor in false flag attacks. Why hasn't he been impeached and tried for treason????
12. 4 Beary White, Norway: Are you sure BO didn't say,
(01.13.16)
"...just ask Obama bin laden..."? He bowed to the late King of Saudi Arabia, showing who he is the slave of.
13. Nr 7.Iran didnt swallow the Beit !
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (01.13.16)
Of cause the Iranin understands what I have written, The US tried to Creat an Insident and backtrac from the deal they had with Iran, But Iran are waiting for the Lifting of Sanctions and realease of all their Money withold from them. Arn.Sweden.
14. Armed Gunboats........?
Koose E Mack ,   NY US   (01.13.16)
How could Iran possibly capture them? If they were part of a fleet F-18's could have been there in minutes. Something is fishy...very fishy. Who's provoking who? Murry The K...What does the K stand for? Kook?
15. #11 any evidence to corroborate or just paca paca.

16. 5 fairy tales
C   (01.13.16)
the shia terror regime's revolutionary guard corps seized two us navy vessels with their crew. days before, the same revolutionary guard corps had fired ballistic missiles near us navy vessels. the shia terror regime holds four americans whose only crime is to have had the bad judgment to visit iran. it is obvious that the shia terror regime shows open contempt for the president of the united states who seems not to mind. the shia terror regime has no intention to abide by the plan of the iran deal, which is not legally binding in the first place. by the way, where is the hellfire missile that mysteriously was sent to communist cuba and which obama's newest best friend, fidel castro, still has not returned.
17. USN's Been There and Done That
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (01.14.16)
In the 80's the US Navy fought two battles in the Gulf with Iran. Reagan was POTUS. No US allies showed up to save the day then. none showed up this time. Those of you who want armed conflict in the Gulf are free to send your ships and personnel or go yourself. Something more is going on that is not anybody's business but the US Navy's business. 16 C - feel free to wage your own conflict. BTW, National Enquirer and World Net Daily make stuff up. They are entertainment for paranoids, not news outlets. Take off your tin-foil hat.
