The Obama administration continues to change the official story surrounding the American boats and men captured and detained by Iranians earlier this week.
Many criticized the president for not mentioning the ordeal as it was happening during his State of the Union speech, but now its becoming clear that nothing was said of the tense situation because the Obama administration couldn’t keep its story straight as to why the ships were where they ended up being.
It was initially reported that mechanical failure left the ship adrift, which caused them to enter Iranian territorial waters. Then, the story was changed, as a navigational error became the official line from the White House.
Regardless, the Iranian response is what has many irked about the ordeal, as the president continues to push the narrative that Iranian relations are strong as a result of Obama’s Iran Nuclear Deal.
Check out the administrations flip-flop on the situation on the next page, along with a quote from Sen. John McCain:
Actually they have been saying this since the beginning. Everything was done the way should have been by both sides.
More distraction
If they where our friends they would of threw a tow line and escorted them back to the Americans.
That’s not how it works. There are protocols and that’s exactly what happened.
Just vote TRUMP USA
Patriot Pete USMC
Omg! Here we go again! Enough already
It’s just so hard to get our story straight
Seriously, is that all you do? Memes? Support your claim. All you’re doing is saying you have no rebuttal.
The American sailors in question had sailed into sovereign Iranian waters due to a navigation error, were disarmed—as is protocol for all countries—fed and housed, and then summarily released to U.S. custody after an investigation revealed it was indeed an honest mistake. No harm, no foul. But hacks like Christie and Cruz couldn’t resist using the incident as a way to demagogue Obama on Iran. It’s a topic that, not coincidentally, aligns with the interest of Republican super-donor Richard Adelson, who rewards anti-Iran candidates with millions in donations.
10 trained navy sailors..navigational errors???? really????
