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:
Could have been a faint. A rouse…There is obviously more here and it might have someones life in the balance. Think about it..What were those boats for? Who do they support? No air support? My butt..There is a lot more to the story and we are not privy to it…Probably for good reason. I’m glad the people on the boats all got back safe. It could have been ugly. I know some want it that way. But-
them muslim love bastard are not going tell truth on any of it.
Pueblo?

Code of Conduct for Members of the United States Armed Forces
I
I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.
II
I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.
III
If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
IV
If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way.
V
When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.
VI
I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
I’m sorry I’m not trying to call our soldiers traitors but they’re just following orders.
So why didn’t one of the boats report the issue on their radio? Why didn’t the operational vessel tow the disabled vessel towards the home launch vessel? Why was no coded encrypted computer message transmitted. On the high seas they could see the Iranians approaching at distance why didn’t the home launch vessel request jets or helicopters do a safety flyover? Too many questions not addressed here.
that pos orchestrated this during an election hear just like the other false c**p he’s shoved down our throats
