McCain ready to subpoena the 10 captured sailors

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.

Breaking: 4 released from Iran prison for 7 Iranians and $100 billion

Iran is allegedly releasing four American hostages, including pastor Saeed Abedini, Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, and United States Marine Amir Hekmati. 

The fourth hostage is unknown at this time but in return, Obama is releasing  over $100 billion to Iran to help fund terrorism as they develop a nuclear weapon, along with seven Iranians being held in U.S. prisons for acts of terrorism, or, to be more politically correct, acts of extremism that have nothing to do with the religion of peace and have everything to do with criminal behavior.

Secretary of State John Kerry is meeting in Vienna with his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif and five other world leader representatives involved in the agreement. 

Zarif plans to take advantage of Kerry's ineptitude as he has in the past, and will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Iran supposedly didn't identify the prisoners they want back in the fight, and the Obama administration would rather not discuss it with American citizens, but they are claiming the prisoner swap has nothing to do with the nuclear deal and everything to do with Obama's incredible negotiating abilities.

LOL.

The Washington Post cannot confirm Rezaian's release, but facts often don't stop them from a story.

Iranian State TV reported that the fourth person to be released is Siamak Namazi, the son of a politician from the days when Iran was led by a shah. However, IRNA news, the only place to get your news in Iran if you know what's good for you, said that the prisoner to be released is Nosratollah Khosravi.

Update: The Guardian just announced that Rezaian has been released and corroborates IRNA saying that Hekmati and Khosravi will be released and Namazi is still in prison.

So now that Iran has humiliated us with the ten sailors they captured in the Persian Gulf, boarded their two boats and made and made them, at gunpoint, monkey squat with their hands in the air, they are freeing our hostages in exchange for seven of theirs.

If you believe Obama and Kerry are good negotiators, you probably also believe that global warming is the cause of terrorism.

But I know you're too smart to fall for that line of Obamabull.

What a deal. This should have happened years ago.
