Hey!  Louie is back!

You know the American sailors whose small boats strayed into Iran’s waters and Iran took them captive because that’s what you do if somebody’s in your waters.

And remember how they immediately said they would release the soldiers?

Well, in that three second, Louie Gohmert tried to declare nuclear war.

“When our Navy ships have problems, we don’t call Iran,” Gohmert blustered, “we call the rest of the Navy, we can call the Air Force, the Army, the Marines, the Coast Guard. We don’t call Iran!”

“For the Iranians to even issue a statement at all saying, ‘We are going to release them soon,’ tells you that they control whether or not they can leave,” he continued. “That situation should not be allowed to happen … We should demand that Iran let these people go, our Navy men or women, whatever they are, let them go or we’re going to start taking your ships out one at a time.”

I wonder what part of “we were in their waters” Louie doesn’t understand.

Louie gets up every morning determined to start an international incident.  He must be a helluva neighbor.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
