Kerry grovels while Iran gloats
The Iranian regime has released the ten US sailors they captured yesterday. But not before disseminating images of these nine men and one woman (and in turn the US) being utterly humiliated.
So, how does Secretary of State John Kerry respond to this shameful treatment of US servicemen?
He thanks Iran.
.@JohnKerry: I want to underscore how pleased I am that our sailors were safely returned this morning. https://t.co/luUd53TMVL

I also want to thank the Iranian authorities for their cooperation and quick response. These are always situations which as everybody here knows, have an ability … uh … if not properly guided to get out of control.
Um … and I’m appreciative for the quick and appropriate response of the Iranian authorities. All indications suggest or tell us that our sailors were well taken care of —
provided with blankets and food, and assisted with their return to the fleet earlier today. And I think we can all imagine how a similar situation might have played out three or four years ago. And … and … in fact … uh … it is … clear that today … uh … this kind of issue was able to be peacefully resolved, and efficiently resolved, and that is a testament to the critical role that diplomacy plays in keeping our country safe, secure and strong.”
Of course, if the Obama Administration were actually keeping our country safe, secure and strong, Iran would never have dreamed of pulling a stunt like this.
But they didn’t need to keep these sailors. They got what they wanted.
They showed that they can stand up to the paper tiger known as Barack Obama. They showed that they can humiliate the United States by capturing American servicemen. And they got a great visual of sailors of the Great Satan brought to their knees by Iran.
And this is what John Kerry considers a win.

Yet they still have our ships…
Yep LadyGun12. That’s ransom we paid for the return of these sailors because our leaders don’t have a spine.
Just who is in control of our country……Obama & Valerie Jarrett or the Iranians? Wait…..they’re both the same…..never mind. *sigh*
Wow!! This situation really burned my biscuits bad. I am very happy that our troops are safe. I have heard that both boats were returned with the marines or sailors minus the GPS equipment. I have also heard that the troops were returned but not the boats. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!! WHAT IS THE FRIGGING TRUTH!! The POS doesn’t mention the fact that anything has happened to these two boats and/or the status of the crew members during his STFU spiel. It must not have fit his “The Future is Ours, Thanks to ME” theme. There are so many different reports as to how and why this happened, so much that does not ring true. THIS DOG DON’T HUNT!! Then for the Horse’s other end, John (I served in Vietnam, you know) Friggin Kerry to come out and apologize to Iran, and praise them for the quick release of our troops blows my mind. What is next? Will they hire some washed up, drug addled, brain dead, 60s pop music singer to sing some bullsh!t hippy song that will put everyone at ease. This is INSANITY ON DISPLAY! The Friggin inmates are running the asylum. Enough is ENOUGH.
Damn, less than 48 hours ago there were so many unanswered questions and very little real news about the circumstances of this event. What about the 10 soldiers, and the two very expensive, heavily armed/outfitted, fast boats. Now, there is virtually ZERO news about this event and the questions are forgotten. Old News!! Move along! Move along please!
Hey did you see that the $1.6 BILLION lotery was won by…? The latest SHINY GLITTER TURD has taken over the news, spread it around. Move along, move along please. Nothing to see here folks. Move along please.
What is next America? It really is sad, yet comical to watch. The important bits are casually nulified, and the fluff pieces are glorified.
Think about these boats and thier armament, especially any comunication gear that can be used to send/receive (Think: propaganda, false orders, asset movements, etc.), on an encrypted military network. Remember, those photos with of a vast empty area below deck. Think infiltration of the protective zone around fleet assets. What could possibly go wrong ? Think about the USS COLE. I’m just saying this could be important someday. The fluff news, mehh, not so much.
GOD, Please BLESS OUR TROOPS, keep them safe. For they are lions led by sheep.
