With respect, I disagree.

The house in question was the ‘wrong house.’

All 25 were on the same gunship/Chinook.

We took in a Haqqani earlier this week. Karzai’s brother was recently killed. And Bin Laden was taken out. We are ‘negotiating’ with the Taliban.

My opinion is actually that someone has wanted better poll numbers for a certain person, and this was the price. 25 SEALS, 30 Americans. At that, among the best of us.

Politicians do that—betray. They’ll sacrifice whatever they can, including you, and smile and kiss your baby. All for power, money, and more and more. If you know someone(s) who’s been betrayed by a politician or his/her henchmen, you know what I mean.

What does Biden or this Administration have to benefit from the death of a SEAL mission when they are already being criticized for not ending the Afghanistan war as Obama promised during his candidacy?

Sorry but I'm not so naive to believe that any battlefield commander would inform the VP of any or all pending missions so that he could "leak the beans" to whatever Afghani he may be dealing with.........Believe what you want but that's just plain silly.
