This whole incident raises many questions. First did BOTH boats sufferer mechanical problems simultaneously? If one boat was functional couldn’t it tow the other? We’re there no other US Navy assets available in the area that could have provided aid? I fail to believe that BOTH boats suffered failure of their navigation equipment that caused them to presumably stray into Iranian waters. What mission caused these small boats to be used in basically open ocean? A more plausible explanation might be they were attacked and overwhelmed by Iranian Naval forces and were either captured or surrendered under Obama rules of engagement. Clearly this incident was a humiliation for the US Navy and shows how weak and impotent our naval forces have become under Obama.
There is something else going on here that explains the Joint Chiefs demeanor during the SOTU speech.
