I’m working on the theory now, in the light of hindsight, of course, that the mission of these nine men and one woman was TO GET CAPTURED BY THE IRANIANS!
Ophonybama and John Effing Kerry may have cooked up this scheme to provide some “Iranians are not all bad” publicity in advance of all the USA give-aways to Iran and the other shenanigans going on over there and in the hallways and offices of our LIEberal thug anti-American administration.
So, while we were focused on the drama of these two boats and 10 crewmembers, other, more damaging to the USA stuff was going on behind the scene.
Just a gut-level hunch.
Reminiscent of the theory developed during the Benghazi fiasco that the original opplan was for the Libyan “rebels” to capture Ambassador Stevens and then trade him for the “Blind Sheik.”
How did that work out for us?
That was my first gut reaction.
