What say you, Matt?
I’d wager that there were no SEALS or NERTS (What are NERTS?) on Farsi island.
We probably know everything there is to know about it — no need to send SEALS in.
Why send SEALs when we can photograph every inch from every angle, etc.
Believe me, the Obama admin is so pussy/PC/risk averse that they HID the night of Benghazi rather than send a rescue force with full CINC CBA that might have gone bad. Instead, they wrote off 30 Americans that night and hid. It could easily have been a massacre there. Obama would not even send a rescue force to an Alamo begging for help.
And he’s sending SEALs to sneak and peak on Farsi Island? Please. Next, tell me that Obama is Captain America in secret, that’s more believable. No SEALs or spooks, just standard five man crews in transit. Two boats for self-rescue via tow, which they practice all the time. Engines checked like NASCAR before the open sea transit.
They were ambushed en route, IMHO. Obama knows it, Kerry knows it, the Iranians know it. The big secret is where the encounter took place. We have heard, serially, that they drifted 50 miles off course, or ran aground, or out of fuel, or had engine trouble that forced each boat to just stop, and not take one another in tow.
Not one of them is believable. What is very believable is that they were bushwhacked on the route that the Iranians know they were taking, with spies in Kuwait giving them the minute of departure. Then it’s just a waiting game in the middle of their path.
They know our pussy ROE means it will become a point-blank Mexican standoff, then an American surrender.
