What was the other option? Immediately launching an attack on Iran? Threatening them?
After they were released the Republicans tried to make an issue out of the United States apologizing over the incident. This is what diplomatic countries do - Something happens, we were in the wrong, so we apologized for it. Oddly enough, while Republicans were up in arms about us "apologizing", they seem to have failed to notice when an United States Air Force plane hit a plane near China an had an emergency landing in China, the then Republican president apologized for the incident.
The Republican party keeps trying to make issues out of non issues in an attempt to make the Obama administration look bad. And it's not working. The Benghazi investigations have been larger and longer and cost more than the 9/11 commission and the Warren Commission. This is utterly ridiculous at this point.

Imagine if you behaved in real life the way Republicans want to in all political matters. You would have very few friends and mostly enemies.
Bob forgot to invite you to the Superbowl party? Shit on his lawn and threaten to kill him unless he apologizes.
Guy cut in front of you in line at Dunkin Donuts? Shoot him in the face because that'll show him your strength.
All they do is tell us what it would be like if they were in charge...how everyone in the world would be scared of the big bad United States of America. That should scare everyone who lives in this country. I'm so glad these nutjobs haven't been in the White House for the last eight years, because while we haven't stayed totally out of global conflict, who knows what life changing quagmire we'd be in now with one of these chest thumpers in charge. They're all little men with small dicks.
Chris Christie calls Obama a "petulant child" ????
From where I'm sitting he seems like the only real man vs those whackos.
