The troublemakers in the U.S. Congress need to learn to bow to their new masters. Obama has. What’s keeping them?

“Iran says seizure of U.S. boats a lesson to ‘troublemakers’ in Congress,” Reuters, January 13, 2016:
DUBAI (Reuters) – 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.

Oops. I say we go to their secret island and make it history island.

Yup–more Muslim “resistance is futile”.
And why not? Obama has bowed to their every demand–Muslims cannot understand why everyone else here has not followed suit.

wildjew says
Nikki Haley apologized last night for Obama.
EvaGirl says
Could there have been a picture that would better exemplify a thug?
john spielman says
he looks like Michael Moore
wildjew says
Haley: “Today, we live in a time of threats like few others in recent memory. During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation.”
Wellington says
Tending to prove, wildjew, what I have noted here at JW several times, that being that the Democratic Party has lost its collective mind and the Republican Party has lost its collective guts. Paul Ryan’s pathetic denunciation of Trump’s call for a temporary ban on further Muslim immigration is just another example of how woeful, practically cowardly, the leadership of the Republican Party has become——–AND the Republican Party is easily the better party of the two main political parties in the US on virtually all matters, certainly in the realms of defense and foreign policy.
Not lookin’ good and tending to prove yet again that civilizations are far more vulnerable from threats within than from threats without. I have gone from amazed to numbness respecting the continued exculpation of Islam by most every political elite in America. Shame on these jokers forever.

Wellington, Dear – I am so disappointed in Haley’s blowing the opportunity – no, really, it’s the RESPONSIBILITY – that she had to counter Obama’s claims in his state of the nation speech for what positive changes his admin has brought to the USA. And I say again, welcome to post-Constitutional America.
I find Haley’s speech repugnant, no matter how “well-written and well-delivered” it was. Thank you, Charles Krauthammer. Unhappily, Haley has all the earmarks, even to being female, of a leading future light in the GOP. I never want to hear another word from this cynical, craven sleaze, but it’s all too easy to see her becoming the darling of the repub establishment. She represents the worst of the worst to me.
Cheers!

Linde Barrera says
To Wildjew- So what Haley was really saying, to my mind, is this: “We must be unified in our tolerance of terrorism.” I will never succumb to THAT thinking.

This is why women should have never been allowed to vote…

The ahole was screaming at the Lieutenant. Oh yeah they were all soooo nice.
Azacque says
Nobody has commented about the filth that woman captive was forced to put on top of her head.
Dennis says
Yes, I did hear that comment on a number of the Fox news shows. If we ever go to war with them we should drop Hustler magazines out of the planes.
Golem2 says
Hustler magazines with bacon inside.
islam :- The religion of chaos says
I don’t get it, there’s two boats and one breaks down, duh … you throw a rope and tow the other to your destination, ok slowly, but you get the drift, (no pun intended)
The Americans MUST have seen the situ on radar, on radio, & monitored GPS etc…
They must know where the international waters line is,
They must have been able to get some jets out there to indicate to the Iranian fizz boats that it’s not a good idea, to bully our guys ..
What happened to the most kick ass fighting fleet in the world ,,,, you can’t say were too far over the horizon ….
Personally, I think this is just smoke and mirrors AGAIN, intended to make the Iranians to puff their chests out and say look how tough we are, those Americans had better not mess with us ..
Watchandpray says
“What happened to the most kick ass fighting fleet in the world?” … Oh, this marshmallification of our military resolve started LONG AGO! Remember how Bill Clinton did nothing but plaintively beg the Chinese to give us our military jet back after they clipped it and forced it to land on Chinese territory? They “gave it back” only after totally cannibalizing it for months and extracting all our latest technology secrets from it.
Auralae says
Ah, I think you’re misremembering that, it was President Bush 43 who’s administration negotiated that mess. All in all, they did a fairly good job–but the crew was stuck there for well over a week. Here, I’ll look up the wiki and leave a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainan_Island_incident
….In addition to paying for the dismantling and shipping of the EP-3, the United States paid for the 11 days of food and lodging supplied by the Chinese government to the aircraft’s crew, in the amount of $34,000. The Chinese had demanded one million dollars compensation from the U.S. for the lost J-8 and their pilot, but this was declined and no further negotiations were held. Republican congressman Tom DeLay described the episode as “communist piracy” and Chinese demands for compensation as “the deluded daydreams of a despotic regime”.[35][36]
The incident took place ten weeks after the inauguration of George W. Bush as president and was his first foreign policy crisis. Both sides were criticized following the event; the Chinese for making a bluff which was called without any real concessions from the American side other than the “Letter of the two sorries”, and the Americans first for being insensitive immediately after the event and later for issuing the letter rather than taking a harder line.[37]
Following the collision, China’s monitoring of reconnaissance flights became less aggressive.[38] As of 2011, flights of US surveillance aircraft near the Chinese coastline continued as before the incident.[39][40]
Paul says
This is what I believe happened:
1. Our ship was not in their waters
2. Our ship was approached by the Muslim pirates and our Marine Captain called it in and was told not to defend them selves unless fired upon
3. Muslim pirates came along side and threatened our Sailors
4. Muslims demanded we let them on board
5. Marine Captain called it in and was told to allow the Muslim pirates to board
6. Both boats and crew were captured
7. We will never know the truth
jewdog says
Islamic arrogance rears it’s ugly head.
billybob says
I say – wait until they complete the final steps of shutting down their reactors, then bomb the shiite out of them. Use that $100 billion that was to be turned over to them to pay for the bombing campaign and the laser guided precision bombs to take out all their leaders, the Imams, Mullahs, the Ayatollah, and the Revolutionary Guard. Whatever money is left over should go to rehabilitating the people. It would be the nobler thing to do. We have no obligation whatsoever to keep our part of the bargain, and the Iranian leaders won’t hesitate to screw us over on the first opportunity – like when they turn around and buy off the shelf nuclear weapons from North Korea.
Azacque says
The sunni the better.
quotha raven says
Well retorted, Azacque –
Bomb the shiite outa them! The sunni the better.

Sam Hawkins says
Have you heard that Pakistan has just threatened to “wipe Iran off the map” if they threaten Saudi Arabia with nuclear weapons?
This is the 1,001st time that a government has threatened to wipe another country off the map — the first 1,000 being Iran threatening Israel, natch.
Too funny. If they didn’t have the infidel as a common enemy, the world’s Muslims would have slaughtered each other already.
Azacque says
I think the space under my bed is a good place to await the weekend if not spring.

Azacque – you and I are on exactly the same page! Cheers! qr

There seems every possibility the Islamic world will wipe itself out in the age of nukes. In the process, parts of the non-Muslim world will probably be wiped out too.
pumbar says
I’m surprised Iran hasn’t complained about the boats, how many jihadis can you fit into them and how are they supposed to get to Europe if the engines and GPS aren’t working?
I mean, come on!
Bill Sharpe says
Will our congress take that insult? I for one do not think any of the have the balls to say anything!!
Eagle says
Can’t wait to bomb and destroy you f&^%king people. POS country…Coming soon to a desert near you in 2017
eduardo odraude says
I feel the same way. I suspect a lot of people do. Patience with arrogant Islamic aggressors is wearing very thin. to the point where one wants to bring a crushing fury to bear against the Iranian government.
That said, strategy should drive feelings, feelings should not drive strategy.
gungadin says
My blood BOILS at this BULL droppings…..I spent 7 years of Honorable Service in our armed services being discharged 29 December 1965….I’ve been on the plus side of SEVENTY for a number of years.
When I was an enlisted man we were instructed that the ONLY THING you gave your enemy if you were captured was your Name, Rank and Serial Number……You were to provide NO FURTHER information to your captors…….WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS?
We have become a bunch of WUSSIES and PANSIES !!!
Paul says
I served 2 years…1 in Vietnam..This makes me livid..gungadin, I believe the Marine Captain was ordered by our Government to make that statement
eduardo odraude says
Almost certainly.
Mark Swan says
Major General Hassan Firouzabadi…Looks Like He Could Eat Congress…do all Iranians
get the same leisure time this Ol Boy does ?

The Muslim is lazy
The Remorseless Headsman says
Hustler???!!! How about copies of Goatherder’s Review or The Modern Paedophile?
Dennis says
They can’t be stupid enough to think we can’t kills everyone on their little island from hundreds of miles away. We only take their crap because we don’t want to kill innocents.
SpiritOf1683 says
When will these Iranian troublemakers get taught a lesson they’ll never forget? They’ve been a menace for 37 years and counting. How about shredding the Revolutionary Army’s cockboats with Gatling fire next time they approach?
Paul says
It’s always the bluster of weak Muslim men…
Watchandpray says
Like Obama’s SOTU, maybe?
eduardo odraude says
Pride before the fall. These blustering loons may be inflating for the moment, but isn’t doom often written all over the transparent braggadocio of tyrannical faces?
Jeff says
Argo it isn’t. Not exactly the US’s finest hour.
SpiritOf1683 says
And they’ve had plenty of not-so-fine hours like that over the last 37 years.
