... The first report on the incident, released Monday, noted the loss. “A post-recovery inventory of the boats found that all weapons, ammunition, and communication gear are accounted for minus two SIM cards that appear to have been removed from two handheld satellite phones,” said the report from the U.S. Central Command. ... “Those SIM cards don’t just contain the satellite links,” he said. “They also include encryption codes, and otherwise unpublished data relating to specific orders and personnel,” he added.

The former naval officer said those SIM cards should not have been allowed to fall into Iranian hands. .... http://www.westernjournalism.com/former-naval-officer-just-revealed-massive-detail-about-what-iran-took-from-captured-u-s-sailors/

When this happened I said it stunk. One boat could have towed the other, they have redundant systems for battle damage etc, and Scary Kerry told the Iranians where they were.

Now we know the Admin helped deliver highly classified security data to the Iranians with this set up.

Yup.

And what will happen to the traitors (not referring to the sailors) involved?

Nothing.

When one leaves the security of their nation to a Muslim homo traitor, what did you expect? (rhetorical)

This can’t be right. Why didn’t those sailors at least pull apart what they could, then toss everything overboard? That would have taken less than a minute.

And as an extra-special FU to the country, it happened right during the SOTU speech.

What a coincidence.

Not.

Possibly had instruction not to, for reasons known only to Obola and Kerry.

It sounds like they knew exactly what they were looking for, too. (or had help)

Why wouldn’t they just throw the satellite phones into the ocean?

Another freeper 3 days ago had an interesting take on WHY the Iranians were so promptly given the position of the men and invited to help:

It was just before the State of the Union address and Obama fancied that he’d be able to chirp about how SUPER FRIENDLY the Iranians suddenly were to the USA, and how he, Obama, was responsible for this new and clearly shown change.

And instead Obama got double-crossed.

I thought it was an interesting possibility.

Either this transfer of SIM cards to the Iranians was part of the overall plot, or the sailors in possession of those Sat phones should be Court Martialed for not tossing those damn phones in the ocean when they had the chance. Incompetent fools. Me thinks there were sailors aboard that boat or both boats who KNEW they were on a mission to be captured. The apology speech rolled too easily off that Commanders lips. My 'something rotten in Denmark' meter pegged heavily at that point.

Who is the CIC? 0dunga is his name. How ELSE did we expect this to end other than TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT AND HUMILIATION OF OUR MILITARY?

“double-crossed” how? The super nice Iranians released our arrogant surrender monkey sailors in 24 hours. 0dunga and Iran’s staged event still paints Iran a newly changed, super-friendly #1 ally of the United States!! HERE’S YOUR $150 BILLION YOU SUPER NICE MUSLIMS, Israel be damned!!
