Nothing to see here: "2 U.S. Navy boats held by Iran but will be returned"

USA Today: Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told The Associated Press that the boats were moving between Kuwait and Bahrain when the U.S. lost contact with them.

“We have been in contact with Iran and have received assurances that the crew and the vessels will be returned promptly,” Cook said.

Earnest refers to Josh Earnest, the White House Spokesman.

"One U.S. official told Navy Times that it’s believed they drifted into the 12-mile zone near the island while in transit."

Bullshit.

Maybe some hotshot swab did it on purpose, just to upstage him.

If one of the boats had issues why didn't the other one tow it back?

"The President who went to war against Libya without consulting Congress just blamed Congress for not giving approval (which he never asked for) to his phony war against ISIS.

Unbelievable."
