With just hours to go before Obama's last State of the Union address, the US president suffered his latest foreign policy fiasco when around noon local time, Iran arrested 10 US sailors in a boat that has allegedly entered deep into Iranian territorial waters.

Needless to say, there was no mention of this in Obama's address and the scandal was quietly swept under the rug when the 9 young men and 1 woman were released earlier today, and all questions just why the soldiers were released only well after the SOTU's conclusion (were they a hostage bargaining chip in case Obama said something out untoward last night regarding Iran) were soundly ignored.

However, while there may have been some doubt as to Iran's intentions yesterday, all doubt was eliminated moments ago when Iran's state broadcaster just released photos not just of the 10 captured soldiers, which were shown earlier, but of their arrest as well as the seizure of the boat and their weapons.

Here is the just released TV footage, courtesy of Sobhan Hassanvand:

Here is a video of the US Commander apologizing (via Fox):

And here are excerpted photos, showing US sailors being treated as common Somali pirates:

 

Finally, putting Iran's aggression in context:

Flat out donation to Iran.  Two very expensive river patrol boats, fully equipped..  Next there will be dozens in Iraq, produced in Iran at a fraction of the cost and modified to fit the task..  OBAMA LOVES IRAN..  BeBe.. WAKE UP!  Tell us what is going on..  Right on.. it is cheaper to let the Iranians and the Russians collapse the Saudis and that failed ISIS project..  Making gasoline out of methane is to cheap.  The world has enough plastic and real jobs would be better in legislated recycling..  not burning oil for making fake global warming.

I think this is a sign that the real moneymen want to be paid.

 

I'm not buying two boat scewing up...  4 engines.. and no quick rescue.
