The photo below depicts our sailors in the custody of Iran’s IRGC; I believe the image is taken from video just released by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Other photos are posted with this Reuters story that carries profuse expressions of gratitude by Obama administration officials. David French has more here.
It is one thing for our sailors to be humiliated by a hostile power. It is another thing for the Obama administration to compound it by groveling to that power.
To borrow the words of the old joke, how much do we tip the whipper? In this case, about $150 billion.
