BREAKING: Defense Secretary Slips Up, Reveals Obama Admin LED IRAN Straight to Our Sailors
Conservative Tribune ^ | 1/14/16 | By: Wilmot Proviso

Posted on 01/14/2016 11:21:42 AM PST by blueyon

BREAKING: Defense Secretary Slips Up, Reveals Obama Admin LED IRAN Straight to Our Sailors First came the fact that President Barack Obama refused to address the arrest of 10 of our sailors by the Iranian military after their boats had mechanical trouble at sea. Then came news that the Obama administration had offered the Iranians an apology for the release of the sailors.

Now comes the disturbing revelation, apparently delivered by Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, that the Obama administration tipped off the Iranians that our soldiers were lost at sea and requested their aid. The news came from Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, during an interview on TheBlaze’s Dana Loesch shortly after Iran’s arrest of the sailors had come to light.

“I understand that (Secretary of State) John Kerry has indicated, look, when he got word, he and Ash Carter called the Iranians to help take care of our Navy guys, because they had some mechanical problems,” Gohmert said.

Iran has spoofed our GPS before. The last time that they did it, they brought done a USA drone for a soft landing inside Iran.

Likewise, the Russians like to shift our GPS coords now and again, just for grins.

The tech is available.

That doesn't explain both boats becoming disabled simultaneously, though. Moreover, the "mechanical problem" story is further contradicted by both boats leaving the next day under their own power with no mention of a repair for either.

Which is to say: the "Official Story" requires at least 3 leaps of faith: navigation problem, mechanical problem, and communications problem on both boats, simultaneously.

So ‘ASS Carter’ said today:

“They obviously had misnavigated ... that’s how they believe they ended up in this circumstance,” he added. “They did not report this navigational error at the time. It may be that they were trying to sort it out at the time they encountered Iranian boats. ... We don’t know that fully yet.”

I heard on a news report that also the Administration said that the nav error was just a ‘Fat Finger’ mistake...

What a croc!

I’m convinced the who thing was planned, by both countries, from the start to provide cover for releasing the $150B. It went just a bit TOO SMOOTH for any thing else.

And if I were an ayatollah, I wouldn’t accept the offering of 10 sailors from the zero administration as a gift, but I would take the 150 billion.
Why...question mark...because it all smells like a set-up that would please no one more than the evil kingdom, an excuse to attack the hated shia, using the USA as the tail that wags the sunni dog.
Wasted 150 billion. Iran is not buying what zero is selling or giving away.

Yes, but what about their compass? Surly those boats are outfitted with a magnetic compass.

Treason.

True enough.

Except 0bama’s their ally, making us the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

The similarities in style of fictitious narrative are striking.

Your compass swings while sailing. It’s never as precise as GPS, so it is frequently dissed when GPS is available.

GPS jamming of the small riverine craft would likely have been noticed by our nearby carrier task force, however, and would *certainly* have been in the SigInt haul of the NSA (even if a small local disturbance was in play).

Moreover, jamming the *communications* of the riverine craft would have been noticed. No question that the carrier task force on the one hand and the NSA with entirely different assets would have noticed com jammers.

In fact, if the GPS and communications jamming went unnoticed, then *we* have an even bigger problem than the capture of 2 craft and 10 servicemen.

Of course, there may not have been any jamming. The 2 craft may have gone where ordered.

Or the 2 craft may have been led by an idiot who didn’t know how to sail. Happens.

They managed to get close to Farsi Island (Iranian military base), however, so their path doesn’t *appear* to be a coincidental example of randomly poor navigation skills.

My best *guess* at this moment is that the 2 riverine craft were extraction units.

If we learn of some SpecOps who “died in training accidents” in the next month, then our guys didn’t make it out of Farsi Island.

And if we hear of no training accidents in the next month, then I’d expect that our guys got out...perhaps not with *that* extraction team, though.

I think Obama made us pay “Humiliating Jaziya Tax” by using the boats as an offering of humiliation...

Agreed. Someone on one of those boats is tied to 0bama/Jarret and/or the agency
