I'm gut-sickened by this. The only thing that comes to mind is that Obama “secretly” met with the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood. Hmmm...

Coincidence? Figure the odds...

May God’s love and peace continue for them in life eternal, and may His love comfort and support their families and all of us in this loss.

“I don’t think our Military would.”

I don’t think that would be the case. But I have no doubt that one of husseins henchmen wouldn’t have given the Taliban some great info to be at the right place at the right time.

It was reported he issued a statement saying “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families”. Big deal. He should be saying we will make those responsible pay. I hate that man more than I ever imagined I could hate someone.

Obama should have just shut the F up when they killed Bin Laden, but NOOOOO, he had to have his victory lap.

Yup but, IMHO, to get the exact team that killed bin laden a couple months ago will be huge for them. And demoralizing for us.

Compounding the tragedy of the loss is the fact that DevGru is a highly elite and specialized unit of an already highly elite unit. It isn't all that big. So if it turns out that this was DevGru ... the US may have just lost a major Special Ops capability in one swoop.

Department of State. This is where some of the moles are. No doubt, here.

“Quite a coincidence!”

Indeed. Sort like the “coincidence” in WWII where a squadron of our P38’s just happened to run into Admiral Yamamoto’s plane and shoot it down, killing him and everybody else aboard. Makes one wonder about the quality(???) of our ROE, intelligence(???) operations in Afganistan, and the Illegal’s complicity.

hm.. seems like someone is tying up all the loose ends on the OBL killing...

Dump the body quickly, then kill all those involved.

The aircraft was shot out of the sky. It only remains to be seen how many of the Seals who participated in the Bin Laden operation were aboard before we know if it was a conspiracy the administration participated in or not.

“Quite a coincidence!”

Who, in their right mind, would not be in the least bit suspicious?

This makes me want to cry.

If we had MEN in Washington we’d nuke these bastards and get it over with.

No body.....no pictures......and now, no witnesses. Sounds to me like obozo is tidying up a few loose ends.

The unit NEVER should have been named. Instead, we have Disney trying to trademark “Seal Team 6”. The whole thing was too stupid for words.

There was no other way for this to end. And it started with the bastard in the White House’s football spiking victory parade.

This is a bigger victory for AQ than 9/11. Killing unsuspecting civilians in one thing. Obliterating Team 6 is something entirely different.

God bless the fallen and their families. This is awful.

I thought Bill and Hillary would always hold that spot in my heart but Obama has beaten them by a mile. I despise him.
