Today three families of Navy SEAL Team VI special forces servicemen, along with one family of an Army National Guardsman, appeared at a press conference to disclose never before revealed information about how and why their sons along with 26 others died in a fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011. This was just months after the successful raid on the Bin Laden compound in Pakistan.
At the press conference today the families released video on how military brass, while prohibiting any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen Navy SEAL Team VI heroes. This cleric disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen by damning them as infidels to Allah. A video of the Muslim cleric’s “prayer” was shown this morning with a certified translation.

Do you have a link for the full version of the video - the one linked in this article is only 14 minutes.
What I see in the video Irenic linked to is first video of the coffins being moved into the hanger and saluted by military personnel,and then still shots, with the words of a Muslim prayer superimposed over the stills, and what I hear is presumably that prayer being sung in Arabic.
But I do not see any video of a Muslim cleric in that hanger, in uniform or in religious garb, singing that prayer.
The video Irenic linked to is over three hours long. Where is the video or stills of the cleric in the hanger, or testimony from witnesses who were there, who say, yes there was a Muslim singing a prayer, and saying who recorded it?
The Western instrumental music in the early, moving part of the hanger video was edited in and replaced the original sound. The sung prayer could have been edited in as easily.
I am not saying I disbelieve these allegations, but the hanger video is no proof at all, and I do not have three hours to watch a press conference trying to find the hanger witnesses.
Everyone who stayed home because Romney was Mormon should be proud of themselves because they're as much a part of this as the people who love and voted for King Barry the Mooze Lame.

__________________________________________
The parents/family of those killed say it is so. At 34:22 Aaron Vaughn’s (SEAL) father speaks of it. There are more instances throughout, but I’m not going to run through it again to dog-ear every place it is spoken of.
The parents of these men say it is so, I tend to take the parents word. Something isn’t right. Most families don’t band together and raise a ruckus like this. Something is wrong.
The parents in the first video I watched were talking about the Special Ops troops being sent on too many missions and dying because of Obama, but I did not see them talking about the hanger service.
Of course you can’t be expected to dog-ear every mention, but I do wish that the producers of this video had been able to do a provide a written and well organized account of the bare facts, and transcripts. The length of the video, its repetitiveness, the dubious editing of the hanger episode, will all hinder its reaching the mainstream press and the public. Even the grief and the strain and the outrage of the parents can be used to dismiss the facts.
I am so tired of politicians and the media using emotion to manipulate us that I want the facts, just the facts, from our side, any side.
It is surprising that the parents would have been flown to Bagram to accompany their sons’ bodies home, to a war zone half way around the world. It must be at least two days round trip - some would be in physical collapse.
You are wore out? Do you have anyone you directly care about in this long, long unreachable action? If so, my care is yours. Though, I think that is not the case. So, why don’t you try to get outside yourself. Perhaps you are infirm. If so, my sympathy for your troubles.
He did talk about the hanger service and no praying over his son by an Imam could separate his son from his God, he speaks of Jesus Christ...something along those lines. He does go into it.
No, I don’t believe they were in Bagram, Obama didn’t go, did he? The one father Mr. Strange? The one from Pa anyhow, he spoke of Obama whispering in his ear so closely he felt Obama’s lips on his ear.
It was the father from Pa that stood out most for me. Mrs, Vaughn was very clear and calm—I will probably listen to her a second time at some point.
Also, there is a site with Mrs.Vaughn-http://aaroncarsonvaughn.blogspot.com/
Perhaps you could question/contact her yourself?
Wanted to add...
What I took away from their press conference, is not that they were looking for outrage from us, sympathy or even for us to be judge and jury.
They were begging for our help. They want a fair hearing of ALL the facts, they want to know exactly what happened to their children.
If there was wrong doing, then people need to be punished and this needs to be corrected so that perhaps more of us don’t lose our loved ones that are serving— to bad leadership and bad decisions.
They want our help, they gave a son to this country and I think it is my duty to help them find the truth, by helping them demand further investigation. It is for them and those currently serving. We owe them that much.
I think that’s why they sent Kerry home- before he was fragged (Did you know he was in Viet Nam)
Yes, thats right, our current Secretary of State was SHIPPED HOME from a war zone for being “unfit for command”
OMG! Rush, Hannity, Levin, etc. should be all over this one.
