Did John Fn Kerry actually give himself another purple heart for this?

And, of course the major networks will be reporting on Forbes’ statement and searching out the sailors for additional information ... NOT. I wonder if even Fox will cover it?

“...they’re going to help in the massive attack on the US Obama and his pals are planning for next year after he leaves office.”

You think they’ll wait that long?

Someone who knows better than I carrier operations and ROE's for ships like that - please advise me: how does a potentially hostile/Iranian vessel get within 1500 yards of a U.S. aircraft carrier in the first place? Is that common?

I have no expertise in this area, but I can still answer your question...

Easy, it's called a stand down order from the WH...

What else could it be...?

I would hope that one, or all, of the sailors would just go public if such is the case. They’d completely have public opinion on their side

Where the Hell, you may ask, is Paul Ryan? No where. He and the Republicans in Congress REFUSE to hold Barry Hussein accountable. And the last time the military was on Ryan's radar screen was 2013, when he inserted a sneaky clause into the budget agreement to cut military pensions, including those who were disabled in combat. Even those missing limbs. It's true. Google it. Ryan did that to our vets. It was later overturned, but Ryan was furious. He is not on our side.

We should have carriers in the Persian Gulf to begin with.

That said there are no real rules at sea...just pretend rules. Each nation will do what they can get away with.

Absolutely. Muslims are very patient and good at long-range planning. 9-11 was years in the planning/training stages.

I fully believe that Obama's mission in his 8 years was to weaken the US and strengthen our enemies in preparation for a big push to try and invade/conquer us. It would make sense to time that for right after he clears out of DC.

One would think that at least on of them would have done so by now... but they're probably under orders (and threat of long brig terms) to not say a word about the incident.

(from the article):"Kerry actually thank them for releasing our sailors after they way they captured them, I think was s slap in the sailors’ face."

Just continuation of the Obama administration

The reason that information like, this or like the missing pages of the 9-11 report, is classified is to prevent American citizens from knowing the truth.

How about this instead: Congress, hold open hearings on this. Like right now.

Exactly right. This "classified" information has nothing to do with security and everything to do with political negligence or worse.

Where is our Republican opposition?

Kind of like when the Cox report was released and the whole thing was redacted . And Cox said that if the American people knew what was in it we would be horrified .

The list of provocations includes a December 2015 incident in which Iran conducted a “live firing exercise within 1,500 yards of the U.S. aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman.”

Someone who knows better than I carrier operations and ROE's for ships like that - please advise me: how does a potentially hostile/Iranian vessel get within 1500 yards of a U.S. aircraft carrier in the first place? Is that common?

So, basically the aircraft carrier was at the mercy of the Iranians? This does not make good sense to risk a capitol ship with a crew of 5000 and an aviation wing. What was going on? Was the captain derelict in his duty? Surely he would have been the fall guy had the ship been hit.

The Iran “deal” wasn’t ransom enough?

The rocket was fired from an Iranian airplane.

You're right and that's why I'm still standing with the commander of the two naval vessels which were captured by the bass boats........and even suffered the attacks of a number of folks here who considered him a traitor.

Time to warm up those jets and bomb bomb bomb. Then have the muslims deported and have all the pro-muslim anti-war leftists arrested publically put on trial and denounced as traitors, then deport them to either a communist or muslim country. Venezuela is nice this time of year I heard...
