Since President Barack Obama announced that “a small team of Americans” had killed Osama bin Laden, US government officials have carefully stuck to the line that they will not talk about which units were involved.

Obama did not say it was the SEALs. In numerous television appearances, Obama’s counter-terrorism chief John Brennan didn’t and his deputy national security adviser Denis McDonough didn’t. Despite the numerous news reports that named the SEALs, none of the anonymous briefers from the CIA and Pentagon would confirm it.

Here’s a typical response to a question about the SEALs from a senior defence official in a Pentagon briefing on Monday:

QUESTION: Can I ask you, can you confirm that it was a (Navy) SEAL team? And was this a specially designated team that had been practising or reviewing intelligence for a while and they were the unit of choice?

SENIOR DEFENCE OFFICIAL: Not going to comment on units or numbers.

But here’s what the legendarily verbose and loose-lipped Vice President Joe Biden said at a dinner at Washington’s Ritz Carlton Hotel last night to mark the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council:

It's sad that our troops have to serve under these idiots. They deserve hazard-pay for this...

[wastedyears]

LOL I like it.

Let's hope so (the graphic). Our servicemen and women aren't in it for the money, that's for sure. They are truly heroes.

Thanks Joe! I hope you apologize to every Seal Team 6 family for your big mouth. Now there are families without fathers and sons.

Pray for their families...

You just confirmed what I was trying to recall earlier.

VPOTUS is a sorry POS who should answer to this.

Have been trying to find a long lost relative - not urgent.

Got a link to facebook (I do not subscribe).

Found over 1000 people with my last name - which is not that common - complete with photographs.

There is no privacy anymore.

I was reading today that the picture one posts in FACEBOOK can now be used or will soon be used to find you...

YIKES or in your case just finding a long lost relative.

I do not subscribe either. I keep in touch with old friends--no need to build up a list of "unknown" friends.

Loose lips kill SEALs.

You may be able to track them on the street via the face recognition/phone carry/ GPS. I am sure there will be safeguards built in as when they ask you in a pop up: "can google etc. use your location" etc.
