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

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.

He plans to finish the destruction of this country.

If Congress does't begin impeach proceedings now, there will be no slowing him down.

This goes beyond high crimes and misdemeanors.

And the hole in that theory is so huge that one of the boats would fit through it with room to spare: where was the tow line?

They could have just towed the disabled boat back out into international waters. This is something else entirely. The straits are only a few miles wide. We have a carrier fleet patrolling in there. This whole thing stinks to high heaven.

Sounds like Ash Carter must be about up to his eyebrows in frustration.

like i said the other day - this was a clandestine transfer of something to the iranians. something sensitive that could not be handed over via the usual channels

Yes! I thought the same thing.

I bet Trey Gowdy will get to the bottom of this. Shouldn’t take more then 10-15 years.

We alerted the Iranians and they came to our sailor's rescue.

'They' alerted the Iranians and they're keeping the boats. This may have been Obama's goal.

They want you to believe it’s worth $150,000,000,000.00. Evidence (a LIE!) that Iran has changed. Forget that 1979 hostage crisis! This is Obama’s ‘re-set’ with Iran. That’s what they want the world to believe. The Mullahs are now gentle and tamed having seen the error of their ways./S

And all it took was $150,000,000,000.00 and Obama ignoring the evidence that Iran wants to go full nuke to wipe out their enemies.

Barack Obama isn't as bad as Jimmy Carter, he is infinately worse.

Carter screwed things up through ineptness or simplistic ideology.

Barack Obama screws up intentionally through his hate for, and betrayal of, the USA and his unswerving loyalty to Islam and his support of muslims.

If you are too young to remember Jimmy Carter's disastrous "Operation Eagle Claw" you can read about it here.

Hostage Rescue Mission Ends In Disaster

PONDER THIS

Regarding the current issue with the capture of the US boats and sailors:

Was the mechanical trouble with the boats a kind of False Flag operation?

Were the boats somehow sabotaged by Obama loyalists for the purpose of presenting Iran with an opportunity to capture the boats and crews as a way of embarrassing the USA and making Iran look reasonable and magnanimous on the world stage?

Was it done to show Iran in a more favorable light to influence American public opinion to become more favorable about Obama's Iran nuke deal?

After all - we know there is no bottom limit to Obama's baseness and corruption.

There is no way they were lost at sea or encountered engine difficulties on both boats, at the same time.

Why do I get the feeling that this whole thing was staged just to tout the stupid Iran Deal, and how fortunate we are that Obama did this for us, so we could get our captured soldiers back?

You can’t tow the boat back if the Sec. of State orders you to stay put...

So....we are running a couple of PT-sized boats down from Kuwait to Bahrain.

Iran just screwed with one of our aircraft carriers a few days earlier.

And we don’t have over watch on these boats?

Here’s a clue for our highly paid admirals and generals.

Don’t go screwing around with people who hate us unless you have over watch set up. And I don’t mean 30 minute response over watch. I mean immediate over watch.

Was the Navy too busy doing a house inspection on Obama’s new digs at the Palm Jumeirah?

Was that female admiral involved in this? Admiral “Bull” Shirt or whatever they call her?

Are there any patriots left in the Pentagon who blow the whistle?
