We owe them the world! None like ‘em .. none better!

From a popular mil blog.. I’ve no doubt there’ll be more dribs and drabs coming out from that sector.

This story regarding whether or not the SEALs were specifically instructed to kill UBL has now officially gotten out of control. Obama is trying to have his cake and eat it too, and in so doing, he has completely buddy f***ed the SEAL Teams.

Already stories are being written by Obama syncophants and AQ sympathizers implicating the SEALs as essentially murdering an unarmed man.

Meanwhile, on background, more “Senior Administration Officials” are saying that POTUS ordered the SEALs to assassinate bin Laden, but there’s more:

The SEALs’ decision to fatally shoot bin Laden — even though he didn’t have a weapon – wasn’t an accident. The administration had made clear to the military’s clandestine Joint Special Operations Command that it wanted bin Laden dead, according to a senior U.S. official with knowledge of the discussions.

A high-ranking military officer briefed on the assault said the SEALs knew their mission was not to take him alive.

WRONG F***ING ANSWER! If you order the SEALs to kill and not capture bin Laden then there is NO DECISION FOR THEM TO MAKE!

They are following explicit orders of the President of the United States, but Obama does not have the sac to stand behind his decision and support the very people who are responsible for the only foreign policy victory of his Presidency.

Sure, Obama is content to accept the congratulations from the media and his supporters for his “gutsy” decision, but when the rubber meets the road he says, “Hey thanks SEALs for killing bin Laden like I told you to. But you didn’t expect me to stand behind you when my left wing media starts going after you as murderers? Oh you did? How cute.”

This is the most disgusting and craven betrayal of leadership that I have ever seen.

Also, where is the NSW Leadership? JSOC? They are keeping their mouths shut like good little soldiers while their own men are trampled underfoot and mischaracterized as having unilaterally decided to shoot an unarmed man despite following explicit orders to do so. Way to go.

Squandering Our Victory

Just like everybody else, the news that Navy SEALs had infiltrated Pakistan and shot Usama bin Laden in the face really brightened my evening.

I decided to celebrate with a Patel Brothers cigar and two fingers of Jack Daniels. Of course my heart was especially bursting with pride at the news that my brothers on the East Coast got the call and executed their mission flawlessly despite crashing a helointo the compound.

If you have to be in a helo crash, you are far better off being in one piloted by a Nightstalker of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) because frankly nobody on the planet even comes close to how good those guys are.

This is an operation that I have dreamed of being a part of for nearly 10 years, and I have fantasized about rolling up on a target to find UBL in my sights. I am fairly certain that I know somebody on that assault force, and I look forward to the East Coast UDT/SEAL Reunion this summer and sharing a cold one with some of the boys.

By now, May 3, 2011, the stories about how this successful operation is going to ensure a Barack Obama victory in 2012 are legion. I even got an email to that effect on the night of the 1st when we were all basking in the afterglow of UBL’s demise.

I’ll admit the thought had crossed my mind, but I dismissed it immediately secure in the knowledge that if any POTUS could f-— this up, he was sure to be The One.

Right on schedule, the Administration has already put out several conflicting versions of actions on the objective, and I have yet to see somebody from the military nay the SEAL community on a podium at the Pentagon laying out the operation and answering (or not answering) questions.

The Bush Administration was very good at this, and when some major military operation took place, the White House would direct the media to the Pentagon where some General or Admiral held a press conference often with video clips and some Powerpoint slides showing some the mission highlights.

The Bush White House was happy to let the experts handle things and show a unified front.
