......this is just my speculation but I think one boat lost power and the other hung around to help. My thousands of hours of operating small boats on the seas tells me that the best maintained boats and even NEW boats will just go south of you at any moment. You just can’t EVER tell when.
I don’t blame the young lieutenant for what he said if coercion was used against him or they told him they would kill one of his crew if he didn’t say what the bastards wanted him to say. All of us who have sons about his age will agree, I’m sure.
If I were looking to cast blame south of Obama and Jarrett, I would start with WHY was he where he was? Was he in fact in Iranian waters or is that BS and Obama/Kerry/Jarrett are backing the Iranian version? How many hours was he there? If several, why didn’t he get at least some air cover. Or did Obama order that assistance to stand down too so his Iranian buddies wouldn’t get hurt.
Where there is smoke there usually is fire and like most freepers I don’t believe a thing this Obama regime says! Absolutely nothing!
