If you were wondering what the State of the Union was, you don’t have to wait until tonight. The answer is “weak,” and our enemies know it:
The Pentagon says it briefly lost contact with two small Navy craft in the Persian Gulf on Tuesday but has received assurances from Iran that the crew and vessels will be returned safely and promptly.
Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook tells The Associated Press that the boats were moving between Kuwait and Bahrain when the US lost contact with them.
Cook says, “We have been in contact with Iran and have received assurances that the crew and the vessels will be returned promptly.”
This is clearly the sort of provocative act that a third world, inferior nation like Iran would only take if they perceived the President of the United States to be impotent and inept. Moreover, the timing suggests that this was a deliberate act meant to embarrass President Obama. It’s a total disaster. We hope and pray for the safety of the American sailors involved.
