Sterling Mosely 1/16/24

Last Thursday, a group of Navy SEALs, one of America's most elite groups of soldiers, carried out a risky nighttime operation in the Gulf of Aden to intercept a vessel carrying missile parts from Iran to Yemen as Houthi rebels continued to bombard international shipping in the area. During the operation, however, two SEALs went "missing."

According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the operation was carried out amid rough seas, which led to one SEAL falling into the water. Following this, another member of the team, following military protocol, jumped in to save his fellow SEAL. The members of the SEAL team did go on to find missile parts bound for the Houthi rebels from Iran, including "Iranian-made ballistic missile and cruise missiles components" that provide propulsion and guidance for mid-range ballistic missiles.

There’s about 5 different stories circulating.
All different details…all lack important details.

What are the other four? All I heard was two SEALs had fallen overboard. That sounded very un Seal like to me.

I love watching Carl Higbie on NewsMax. He was furious yesterday about this. Carl is a former SEAL

Until I see irrefutable evidence to the contrary, I’m going to assume that these two SEALs were on a mission in Ukraine, and that this whole “man overboard” narrative is just a cover story.

And no, I’m not a conspiracy theorist by nature.

Hadn’t heard about this. So sorry for them and their families. We wouldn’t be in this situation if it wasn’t for these country-destroying effers in charge.

Or Val. At this point command and control is infested with moles and traitors.

I wonder how many SEALs that The Tater and his handlers have killed over the years...?

Like the helicopter that was shot down full of a team, under Obama. We have enemies within.

It sounds like the sea conditions were way too dangerous for this type of mid-sea dhow boarding mission, but as we have seen….what Joe Biden wants, Joe Biden gets

And someone wanted a soundbite for the morning Pentagon briefing about intercepting Iranian weapons to terrorists…to bolster the rationale for our presence at sea and confrontation with Iran

They’re on here. I don’t know the titles.
One says the boat was a known arms supplier.
One says it was bound for Somalia.
One says Yemen.
The first also stated no manifest, no flag, 12 men detained and boat was sunk.

I hand't even considered that. I know we have had boots on the ground - or at least "consultants" as is my West Pointer friend who returned from an assignment there last year, so it could be possible.

And no, I’m not a conspiracy theorist by nature.

Well I am.
