Iran captured ten of our sailors at gunpoint, made them get to their knees with hands in the air and held them overnight. They didn't know what was going to happen to them. Without question, this was a humiliating time for the United States.
But not for the Obama administration. Nothing humiliates them--they are proud of their weakness.
Rather than showing strength, Secretary of State John Kerry thanked Iran for returning our sailors and tried to use the Iran nuclear talks to take credit for their quick return and tell us of how well they were taken care of and well-treated.
Iran has since used the incident to show their strength and our weakness. The photos of one sailor apparently crying, a female sailor forced to wear a headscarf, and new videos made by Iran mocking the sailors.
So what exactly happened?
We don't exactly know yet but John McCain (R-AZ) is the chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee and wants to subpoena the sailors in order to get the full account. McCain says the administration and the Pentagon are dragging their feet over the release of findings in the investigation. He is giving them until March 1st to produce answers and then will go forward with the subpoena.
"It's an option that I do not want to exercise," McCain said.
It's always like pulling teeth to get anything out of this administration.
