You're assuming malfeasance, but if the people upstairs don't know what really happened because the people downstairs are covering their *****, the story is going to change over time as new facts emerge.
Pat Tillman. It took YEARS for the truth about that to come out because the soldiers, their NCOs, their command and lower level politicians ALL lied to cover their *****. By the time the story got to the White House it was beyond chopped and screwed.
I get that you guys want to blame Obama for the sun's path along the elliptic, gravity, and tidal encroachment, but sometimes **** just happens, man.
I don't blame Barry for it happening, I just can't believe how he handled the situation. He didn't even mention it in his SOTU speach. He didn't care. All he cared about was tooting his own horn. And to have Frankenkerry thanking the Iranians was just despicable. This happening less than 2 weeks after the Iranians launched missles in close proximity to one of our carriers. Then we give the back billions in frozen assets. I'd say 'Bammy is pretty much rewarding bad behavior.
