If these cards were missing before the encounter would that have prevented or slowed them from calling our fleet in an emergency in any way, like getting surrounded by Iranian Rev Guard?

Maybe they did. Maybe they had time to insert the special ‘DISINFORMATION SIM CARDS’. LOL

The former naval officer

How does a "former" naval officer have access to such information? Not saying he's wrong but one has to question his authority to actually release that information......

Maybe you’re right —maybe they were SUPPOSED to get captured and “accidentally” forget to dump the SIM cards first..?

Just trying to consider everything.

Whouldn't it be something, if that were really the case. Regardless, I think you have a future writing plots for Hollywood spy movies.

Maybe they didn’t know that traitor kery told the iranians where they were? So all of a sudden they showed up.

When did it become the president’s job to order every detail of military exercises and training? NEVER! And so while I am disgusted by the things Obama has done, I am not ignorant of the fact that the military is NOT run by Obama, it is run by those who run Obama. So the real question everyone should be asking is, who were the officers in charge who direct their men to sail into Iranian waters? This is not as cut and dried as you purport it to be, as the white house has been usurped, so too has our military and it did not begin with Obama, it didn’t even begin with Clinton, it began LONG before those guys were even born.

Hey, I JUST thought of something:

Dear President B. Hussein,

In order to get your 5 hostages back, we require that you VERY PUBLICLY humiliate and embarrass your Navy NEAR OUR TERRITORIAL WATERS and that it be done ON THE SAME DAY AS YOUR SOTU SPEECH.

Signed,
The Iranian Mullahs (not a rock band)

It may have prevented them from making an encrypted call for help, but I’d guess they had means to make an “in the clear” call for help.

It’s not like the Iranians didn’t know they were closing-in on them.

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

They were probably ordered, to make sure the Iranians got classified information, so, to throw the Sat phones overboard, would be to deny the Iranians the classified information that Obama wanted them to have. That's my take on it.

It was a trick. Yeah. The SIM cards had a special, uh, computer virus. Yeah. Those Iranians are going to get a nasty case of the Malware Worm!
