Iran's Humiliation Of Barack Obama Is Now Complete
2016-01-14
[The Federalist] Ten American military personnel were arrested and detained by Iran on Tuesday, and President Barack Obama said not a word about it during his final State of the Union address on Tuesday evening.

His administration swore up and down that Iran was just doing a solid for our sailors and Marines, whose boats, we are told, had apparently broken down. Obama's spokesman said the capture and detention of American servicemen and servicewomen were exactly why we had to lift sanctions on Iran and bless its enrichment of uranium. His surrogates whispered to media allies that rather than provoking the Iranians to attack the U.S., Obama's nuclear deal really made it possible for the U.S. to free its captured personnel who never should have been in Iranian custody in the first place.

The Obama administration gave us its word that Iran had no "hostile intent" when it captured ten Americans, forced their surrender at gunpoint, and then demanded an American apology for the whole affair.

And then Iran released these photos of the nine men and one woman who were arrested at sea by the Iranians.

#9  @#8: ‘No, I haven’t sold my Palm villa to Obama’

Excerpt: “'On a serious note, I know that a man of Obama’s stature will send his ‘people’ to view the villa before buying it, but we are not aware of any such leads. My villa has been up for sale since the last six weeks and I can assure you no presidents have viewed it so far,' he said."

Nicely qualified, eh?

And like Admiral Williams had no idea that all Military computers are monitored for internet dalliances...

#8  Well, let's see who gets fired as a result of the captured sailors. I mean Rick Williams got fired for asking about an Obama vacation home in the MI.

#7  BU - I was suspicious, and I am not a Navy Seal. So if an ex-Seal can see the light, so can SecNav, which means the CIC knew, or should have known.

Which doesn't surprise me one bit.

I suppose the crews will be ordered to shut up so as to not further embarrass the Lightbringer.

#4  Complete? I think not.

#3  Plus, we've still got another year to go. I doubt the Iranians are done rubbing Obumble's face in the shiite quite yet.

#2  The Iranian humiliation of Barack Obama is now complete.

Sorry, but I don't agree with this. These people (sociopath leftists) are incapable of embarrassment or humiliation.

#1  Unfortunately, Iran got exactly what it wanted. The Iranian humiliation of Barack Obama is now complete.

Davis has it nearly right. The target of Iran's humiliation is not the Champ however, he's simply a willing and duplicitous conduit. The actual target is the West and the United States in particular.
