The obviously phony story of the Iran capture of USN boats: WTH really happened?
self | january 16 2016 | beebuster2000

Posted on 01/16/2016 7:21:38 AM PST by beebuster2000

the story pushed by the Administration is obviously phony. to believe it, you have to believe:

-both boats lost GPS and all ded reckoning ability

-both lost radio and back up radio

-both lost engine power

-both were lost on radar by the fleet

all of which happening at the same time is flatly impossible.

so, what is the real story?

My guess is transfer of technology to Iran under cover of false boat failure, why else keep the boats. Determine what was on the boats - will have the answer

Some on Twitter are questioning what was on those boats that Zero may have traded for the 4 prisoners.

I suppose it’s possible, but if it was a movie, there
would have been spooks inserted into the crews who
sabotaged the boats, on instructions from higher up
in order to “wag the dog” toward a certain political
outcome, ie. the release of billions of dollars to the
mullahs.

If it was a movie that is.

The ROE and Kerry’s daughter were used by the Iranians
to ridicule America and expand their power,
while knowing they would be supported
by both the White Mosque and the submissive complicit GOP.

The news the other night said the boats themselves were returned. With everything that was on them? Who knows.

FOX Radio reported in the middle of the night that one of the boats did NOT break down.....the Pentagon now says it was a “GPS error.”

Hmmmm.

This phony capture and release was to make Obama/Kerry look brilliant for dealing with the Iranians on the nuclear giveaway. The Democrat media was happy to bow down in admiration for their diplomatic skill, of course. It’s just another lie to the American people.

The Iranians hooked a couple of truck batteries together and made an itsy-bitsy EMP attack.

They hadn’t watched “Master and Commander” recently.

If it was a transfer, whatever ‘it’ was had to be very small and had to be done quickly out of sight of land or shipping - like plans, or a small piece of tech ... say the motherboard and guidance systems for ICBMs, or field cryptogear?

What was with the brown tee shirts anyway?

Were they using that stupid new “green biofuel”?

Could have whacked both engines.

Uniforms made in China.

I have been bothered by the uniforms from the moment I saw the images. As far as I can tell most of the Navy wears those terrible blue ACU’s. The crew’s pants appear to be the latest ACU pattern from the US Marine Corps.

I agree with you that we are being lied to. With the federal government, all the way back to the Tonkin Gulf, to “read my lips, no new taxes”, to “Irag has weapons of mass destruction”, to “what difference does it make?”.........we get lied to.

BUT, I’ve been in Navy small boats out on open water and bays and harbors scores of times. We called them “Mike boats”. What they really were were old WWII landing craft the Navy converted for use as “utility service boats” for ships in harbors and bays although I did go out into the Sea of Japan one dark night in one.

In any event, I can tell you these things (small boats in the Navy) DO break down, and often! Then you are usually just STUCK waiting for the massive navy bureaucracy to MOVE and send help!

My guess is one boat lost power and these kids were just waiting for help.
The initials (officially) for this in the Navy are “it was a huge CF”.

The second boat was just hanging around (I guess).

What ever the Kenyan claims happened won’t just be a lie but a damned lie.
Barry does not have the truth in him.
He makes BOTH Clintons look like half way truthful people, I never thought I would see the day I could say that.

I’m going with the Lieutenant that was in charge of the boats really didn’t know what he was doing and let them stray too close to Farsi Island.

Farsi Island is really tiny, well under a mile per side and it’s close enough to a route between our naval base in Bahrain and Kuwait that if you weren’t paying attention and strayed just a bit east, you’d be well in range for a nutty Iranian Revolutionary Guard intercept from Farsi.

Iranian mullahs had already had their yachts and jets picked out to be bought with the billions they were going to get so they intervened and let the sailors loose to make sure they got them on schedule.

Repeat of Benghazi hostage attempt, this time “successfully.”

Obama/ValJAr used American service personnel (this time no Ambassador) as bargaining chips. How?

1) Get boats into Iranian waters
2) Report their position to Iranian authorities
3) Have 10 sailors apprehended and photos sent out to the world, humiliating the United States
4) Kerry calls his Iranian counterpart, Javad Zari, and arranges for their release “both countries can come out of this looking good”
5) Force Congress to release the $100-$150 billion of Iranian frozen funds

Just like in Benghazi, when they attempted to kidnap Amb. Stevens and use him as a bargaining chip to secure the release of the Blind Sheikh. Remember the rent-a-mob terrorists in Benghazi who showed up yelling “Dr. Morsi sent us!”

Except this time the plan worked... and Iran wins, again.

“Some on Twitter are questioning what was on those boats that Zero may have traded for the 4 prisoners.”

My guess is 100 billion dollars.

If one boat had trouble, the other boat could have towed it. There is more to this story than meets the eye. Terrible to use these young sailors, and especially with a woman aboard, this way...coz’ anything could have gone wrong
