Makes ya wonder.
General McInerny said on Fox this morning that he was puzzled himself by the number of SEALS on board that Chinook. He said it is HIGHLY unusual. He also questioned why there were afghan troops with them. He said that is not how the SEALS normally operate.
He further stated that the Chinook was the equivalent of a flying bus and this was the middle of the day, broad daylight, flying very low, an unmistakable target. An EASY target.
He was visibly upset and wondered who the hell ordered such an op.
And he finished up by stating that we need to start fighting as if this was a WAR, forget winning hearts and minds. He said it would never happen. Destroy any villages suspected of harboring taliban and get it done and over with.
You spaced that out to make it as long as possible and have spammed 21 threads with that goofy tripe?
You need a life man.
“Poor planning” or exact planning. I put NOTHING aside when it comes to this administration whom hates America....especially our military.
ansel. you are forgetting how the USS Cole was ordered by the CiC to make a port stop in yemen, ostensibly for refueling, when they had just refueled,
The military follows orders. They don’t ask why.
14) Could Bill Clinton EVER approved such a devious and EVIL plan ?
15) No ... not even Bill Clinton ...

WRONG
he could, and did. I would bet my life on it.
This consiracy crap s a riot. IMHO the Chinook was hauling ass across the floor of the valley and a lucky RPG shot hits the tailrotor or main rotors and boom, game over. You could walk up behind a hovering bell jet ranger and throw a pail of gravel in the tail roter system and take it down, no shit. Ch-47 is the fastest a/c in the army, you throw a rock in front of a skateboard going 220 knots 50 feet or less off the deck and see what survies that crash.
Agree with your post.
I asked yesterday if this was just a lucky shot by some raghead.
Would you like to share with us how a mass murder like this is handled, in the planning, in the operation and the execution, and in the post investigation, and the massive military wide cover up?
So far at the bare minimum, supposedly Seal Team Six, the Airborne Rangers, Air Force Special Ops, Afghan Special Ops, and supposedly Army Aviation Special Ops, and whoever investigates these matters for all the parties listed, are involved. How are they all persuaded to go along with this murder scheme that you and your internet buddies have uncovered, will they be killed also, just like in a good conspiracy movie, where the military is all corrupt, murdering scum with no integrity or morals or honor?
Who are these government forces that can mass murder our most secret, super soldiers with no fear of discovery or exposure, in your movie does Delta and Seal Team Six start retaliating with hits on administration and government officials?
By the way, who wants to kill all these Special Forces, and why?
I won’t ask the question how or if they know who was on the helicopter. I imagine they would be thrilled to shoot down any US helicopter. I want to know whose brilliant idea it was to put so many US Special Forces, or troops of any kind, on one helicopter flying into a hostile area.
I’m sure its real nice to consolidate and use one helicopter to ferry so many people, but seriously, where is the wisdom in doing so???
The Seals that were shot down were part of a rapid reaction force coming to aid of other special operations troops...the latest reports are saying an Army Ranger raiding element was pinned down. They had finished their mission and were heading back the FOB when their chinook was shot down.
THere is no evidence the raid occurred during daylight hours. They always happen at night. At most it was early sunrise as they were leaving the AO. But, this is not likely.
The only thing unusual about this mission was the bad luck of a helicopter getting shot down.
Just wondering, if the group that executed the mission to take out bin bama had just returned in CONUS after the mission, would they redploy back into Afghanistan so soon? I wouldn’t think so. They didn’t want the Ids of these guys known so wouldn’t it be safe to leask out that those that went down in the chopper were those same troops thereby sealing the safety of the teams IDs forever.
Carter micromanagement and helicopters were a really bad mix...
Obama and Panetta are micromanagers is my speculation.
I have a pretty good idea how they knew and nobody will convince me other wise. Loose lips sink ships.
I have a pretty good idea how they knew and nobody will convince me otherwise. Loose lips sink ships.
Who says they would KNOW it was a murder scheme? Who says they didn’t believe the mission was a valid one...but someone tipped the enemy? It’s not like that hasn’t happened way too many times in that hellhole.
What’s heresy? and fyi, he’s been here longer than you... unless you are a zotted retread. Are you?
LMAO!!!
Seriously.... are you effing kidding me? Why would you even mention that unless you want to embarrass the poster. Sheesh dude, get a life.
I know its illegal to try to overthrow the US gov.con.
But is it illegal to wish that the US military would take charge of the White House?
