You are an idiot.

I was just about to say that. If I’m dinner in a Japanese household, I’m taking off my MF shoes and doing with a smile.

Where’s the armed conflict?

If you float into Iranian territory, expect to be surrounded by Iranian gunboats, and the fact that having the crew simply put their hands up and demobilize were the Iranian gun boat crews only demands isn’t enraging—it’s downright professional.

Surely we can charge Fox News commentators with some kind of crime under international law. Something like “deliberately sabotaging an entire democracy with bullshit”.

Seems like a better-than-expected outcome from a country who is less than likely to be nice to us. Progress.

My personal favorite response to this is the WSJ article this morning that was trying to make sticking point out of the Geneva Conventions, and how Iran supposedly violated the Geneva Conventions. Never mind that (A) US and Iran are not at war, so there are no POWs and (B) Giving free food, shelter and water to…

if “the side of the road” also happens to be “someone’s front yard,” you might apologize.

Good luck trying to get Fox to ever say that American Sailors were the “armed illegals crossing the border”.

Yup, basically just doing the Fox thing, which is to reflexively and automatically knee-jerk at anything that happens which may be used to paint President Obama in a negative light.

When was war declared?

Those are the same people who will never set foot in the sand box. Fuck them sideways with a cactus.

As one general said about negotiations with the Taliban, “You don’t negotiate with your friends. You negotiate with your enemies.” He was British, and apparently had been at the forefront of the negotiations with the Irish Republican Army. It’s true.

Fox News humiliates America everyday.

Jesus Christ Fox News scares the shit out of me sometimes. That pundit saying the sailors should have been at their guns!? What the fuck? She acts as if we’re at war with Iran. If these people had it their way, these soldiers would probably be dead right now and we’d be sending planes over to bomb the shit out of a…

So if I accidentally walk into the wrong house and instead of apologies and leave, I defend myself and try to kill as many people as possible Fox will declare me a hero?

TL;DR - Bunch of Navy boys had engine trouble, drifted where they weren’t allowed, got pulled over by the Iranian sea cops, spent the night in the drunk tank, released the next morning no harm no foul. Fox News tries to spin this into “Obama’s a pussy/nuke Iran”

As an OIF veteran, it enrages me when the arm chair admirals want to bomb every fucking thing that dares to cross our paths. Fortunately for pieces of shit likes these people, they don’t get phone calls every few months saying another friend has committed suicide because of their battles with PTS. Being the main…

Fuck people who are chomping at the bit to start shit over there.

This whole thing just shows how much hatred Republicans have for Obama, like this is his fault?? These bozos were out to far, near a border they knew existed. Their boat broke and drifted into Iranian territory. The Iranians said hey, we will let you guys go tomorrow morning, on your merry way. And guess what, they…
