Watch: Navy Captain Just Blew The Lid Off Of Why Iran REALLY Captured US Sailors
"To send a clear message to..."
The Iranian regime detained 10 United States sailors to publicly embarrass America, according to retired Navy Capt. Chuck Nash.
Nine men and one woman were detained by Iranian officials for 16 hours after they drifted into Iranian waters.
Nash, now a Fox News military analyst, said in a
Thursday interview on Fox’s American Newsroom
the footage of a sailor apologizing was a deliberate attempt to show
U.S. weakness. Nash said he believes Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei made the decision to release the footage because the group
detaining the sailors was the Iranian Republican Guard Navy, which
reports directly to Khamenei.

“This
was done intentionally and it was done to further embarrass the United
States” Nash said. “And to send the clear message to the Gulf Arabs: If
the Americans won’t stand up for themselves, they’re certainly not going
to stand up for you. We’re the big dog now.”
Nash also questioned the apologizing sailor’s training in code of
conduct and rules of engagement in enemy territory. Nash said someone in
that position should have been fully trained on handling enemy
situations.
“If he hasn’t, I would want to know why somebody in that position was
not sent through SERE (Survival Evasion, Resistance and Escape) school
because he should have been and I think, had he been, he may not have
been as free with the information,” Nash said, adding that no one knows
the duress the sailor may have been under.
Nash’s comments are in direct contrast of those coming out of the
State Department. State Department spokesman John Kirby said in an
interview on
Hannity the quick release of the sailors occurred
because of improved relations between the U.S. and Iran. Secretary of
State John Kerry issued the same comments earlier.
Right before Christmas, there was another study from Wyoming showing that fracking doesn’t pollute drinking water.
Once again, environmentalists have been discredited with their theory
that the decades-old method of extracting natural gas via hydraulic
fracturing isn’t messing with people’s water. In 2012, the Environmental
Protection Agency declared that they were no longer going to supply
Dimock, PA with alterative drinking water supplies after their review
found the level of contaminates were naturally occurring, and that
treatment systems could reduce the level of contaminants in a handful of
homes (all five) where they did have some health concerns. Yet, their
overall investigation found that the levels of containments didn’t reach
levels that would require further federal action. In short, fracking
wasn’t polluting the water. Moreover, a Yale study later confirmed that fracking doesn’t pollute ground water.
