Letter: Navy, Carter outrage misdirected

The Fox News headlines read, “Navy rips Iran…” for the video of a captured and humiliated American sailor in tears being shown and mocked on Iranian TV. This after the entire group of sailors were previously shown being held captive at gunpoint after their boat was intercepted and seized by Iran.

Sorry, but don’t blame Iran – they’re only doing what they’re allowed to do and get away with. The Navy’s outrage and similar expressions by defense secretary Ash Carter and others, would be better directed to the real culprits, Secretary of State John Kerry and President Barrack Obama (and by association of declaring her intent to continue the Obama policies, philosophies and politics, former Secretary of State and current presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton) – together a group of weak, spineless and inept establishment politicians masquerading as leaders.

How dare they stand by with nary a whimper, apologizing, doling out hundreds of billions of dollars and releasing terrorists time and again to a regime who openly declares “death to America.”

And in the end, it is really our fault for electing them – in Obama’s case, twice. Fool us once shame on them – fool us twice shame on us. Never again. Almost anyone remaining on either side – yes, even the self-avowed socialist, Bernie Sanders – but not Hillary.

NOT Hillary!

We’re already fast becoming a socialist nation, anyway, if only by actions and not yet by name. May as well have someone in there to complete the job, but who is at least honest and trustworthy.
