After all the whole world knows about Seal Team 6 thanks to Biden & Obama.
Just Wow! This accusation should result in quite a thread this morning.
When you have a vain moron who’s only waking thought is to get reelected this is the result.
Bring the troops home. Notify Afghanistan and Pakistan that they are considered hostile nations and send nuclear tipped tomahawks their way as needed.
Enough is enough...
I’m skeptical. It’s all to easy for some unattributable source to claim a transmission tricked the Special Forces.
The radio transmissions are encrypted to begin with and it is hard to believe there are not validating procedures in place on top of the encryption to prevent things like this from happening.
Hell, I was in the AF and even we didn’t just take any radio transmission as fact and act on them without proper confirmations.
Lose lips sink ships. The final chapter of the Bin Laden debacle.
Pray for America
If the US thought there was a high level meeting of top Taliban commanders taking place we would likely send our elites.
Ensure the job got done.
Thanks, Joe Biden.
Is this the normal way to move these highly specialized troops - bunched into an overly large group in a single aircraft? Has this been done before? If no, why this time? Is this normal?? If not, why this time?
Who is the commander who ordered this? Is he/she being held accountable for this decision?
Notice that this article is attributed to sources inside Karzai’s government..Karzai made the first announcement of the crash....not US HQ..something stinks here..
Thanks, DUMB and DUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at first blush, sounds plausible but would the SEALS really go to a battle like that in a chithook?
We need a Af/Pak news and statement timeline put up.
Will message the usual suspects.
The top layer has been peeled off this onion of conspiracy. As more layer peel off will they reveal a Cpl. Manning on the inside of the operation giving them organizational information?
PING
to one who would know more than most FReepers
If true, then the entire “rescue mission” story is a lie. One is true and one is false. Wonder which it is.
Would 20 Seal Team members suit up to provide reinforcement for a pinned down Ranger team?
I’m more given to believing that Rangers would mount up to relieve Rangers. They are rock solid about “leave no man behind.”
Therefore, I’m leaning in the direction of their suiting up to take out an important Taliban commander. The questions would then remain how they planted intel with our SpecOps, how they knew the route the Seals would take, and why the mission might have required a single airframe inserting a fairly large force.
You can be confident that the Afghan Army, like the Pak Army is completely infected by the Taliban and other radical Islamist. The others are sympathetic to the radicals.
It was a trap alright..........
I believe the jihadi in the White House is celebrating.
I think they knew, I think someone who is in our government told them. I think it was planned revenge for Osama...and salve for the Muslims.
