Suuure, both ships having problems at the same time.

Questions we’ll never get straight answers to.

Now that the Farsi Island incident is over and with the focus shifting to the latest prisoner swap, who will be the "schmuck" that throws their hands up and screams "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

Tune in for next week's episode of "As America Swirls". Starting in Jan 2017 going to be a new pilot series on. Called Making America Great Again Apprentice. Whomever was responsible for these shenanigans may end up getting fired!

All reports from the Navy’s investigation will be classified so they can be withheld from prying eyes.

Now all US ships in the Gulf are free to be taken without a shot by any Iranian fishing boat that happens along.

Damn videos anyway - must’a forced Obie Wan’s hand and he had no choice but to order the surrender first US Naval ship without a shot being fired.

With a real president, Farsi Island would be uninhibited by now.

Uninhibited? No compunctions about doing anything at all? An island?

I’m not sure what to make of this, so you decide:

“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.

I’ll give you a second to pick your jaw off the floor.

“When our Navy ships have problems, we don’t call Iran. We call the rest of the Navy. We can call the Air Force, the Army, the Marines, Coast Guard. We don’t call Iran,” Gohmert said.

I posted these comments and questions on another post re the surrender of our sailors.

Is Mullah Obozo trying make Madam Secretary, Joan Kerry, look like a heroine re the release of our 10 sailors, the long time American prisoners of Iran and the stupid nuclear agreement with Iran.

Then, pull the plug on Hilliarily with the FBI investigation and make Kerry and Biden the new rat heroes/candidates for Potus and VP?

The commanding officer of these vessels surrendered his command to a foreign power.

The public doesn’t know why.

Until his reputation is cleared, he will be cast among those who surrendered without fighting.

If he was ordered to surrender by a superior officer, I cannot imagine he will not demand a courts martial.

Throw this out there: suppose that these boats were delivering SEALs who were reconnoitering Farsi Island for some reason? If during the insertion/extraction the Iranians discover the boats? Maybe they signal the SEAL team and surrender to buy time.

If I’m right then the Navy will say nothing to contradict the administration line on this.

All I know for certain is that whatever the administration says is a lie.

Navy times says, ‘it was a navigation failure during an attempted refueling (3rd boat not Mentioned, navigation equipment was OK, unauthorized course change and lots of fuel (since they were less than 100 into their 300 mile voyage)’. The range of these boats is 370 Miles.
