Obama thanks Iran for spitting in his eye

Iran-humilates-US

This is pretty well where things have washed up: Iran Releases Sailors After U.S. Promises ‘Not to Repeat Such Mistakes’. There is also this, Iran’s Humiliation of Barack Obama is Now Complete. Meanwhile, perhaps out of embarrassment, this is so far down the page on Drudge that for all practical purposes they might as well have left it out.

TRUMP: Why isn’t Iran releasing other Americans?

It’s that first one that is the truly interesting link. This is the entire story:

Iran’s army chief said on Wednesday the seizure of two U.S. navy boats and their 10 sailors should be a lesson to members the U.S. Congress trying to impose new sanctions on Tehran.

“This incident in the Persian Gulf, which probably will not be the American forces’ last mistake in the region, should be a lesson to troublemakers in the U.S. Congress,” Major General Hassan Firouzabadi, head of Iran’s armed forces, was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.

They have zero fear of any kind over what the United States might do. You also do not get any kind of flavour of what Trump said from the quote of the last story referenced at Drudge. No one could be less capable than Obama, but there are degrees. See what you think.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Wednesday praised the ten American sailors who spent the previous night in Iranian military detention.

“These [are] ten wonderful soldiers who went through hell, by the way,” he said on “MSNBC Live with Thomas Roberts.”

“When I see pictures of them with arms up in the air and guns pointed at them, I wouldn’t exactly say that’s friendly,” Trump added.

Tehran announced early Wednesday that it was releasing the group of U.S. sailors who had crossed into its “territorial waters” Tuesday evening.

Trump said Iran resolved the standoff so quickly because Tehran wants to stay on good terms with the United States until its nuclear agreement takes effect in the coming days.

“They get $100 billion during the next short period of time, they don’t want to jeopardize that,” he said.

“Obviously they’re going to release them,” Trump said of the detained sailors. “They’re not going to keep them. If it happened two weeks from now, they would have kept them, and they would’ve kept them for a long period of time.”

Trump also ripped the Obama administration for not negotiating the release of other Americans detained by Iran.

“We still have four hostages over there,” he said. “Why aren’t they giving those hostages back? They get everything. We get nothing.”
