The Vaugn family is outraged that Vice President Biden outed SEAL Team 6 as the group who executed the Osama Bin Laden raid.In other words Osama Bin-Laden and the Islamic SOBs who worship him were given more respect than our own Seals.
Where's the photo of OBL body? "Oh we don't want to tick off the Muslims"
Why was OBL immediately buried at sea? "Oh we have to follow Islamic law because don't want to tick off the Muslims."
Yet this POS Biden, had no problem putting Seals in danger.
I swear, this GOP can KISS MY ASS. I am SO sick to death of Republicans curling into a fetal position while this FOREIGN BORN TWICE UNCONSTITUTIONALLY ELECTED KENYAN steamrollers over this country completely unopposed!

I’ve maintained since the downing of that CH-47 that this was an inside job. Obozo does not harbor good will towards our nation’s military in general, and he hates our special forces. Hmmm. I wonder if that has anything to do with 05/06/2011???

Right after Obama and Biden begab spiking the ball and gave out the info on who killed Bin Laden these men ended up dead. Obamas motto, shut all witnesses up at all costs. Maybe the Seals knew something obama didn’t want us to know. Did he really kill Osama or have we been played. I don’t put anything past obama. We never saw the body.
I sincerely hope Hicks and the other witnesses aren’t planning to fly anywhere, or go jogging down the street like Breitbart.

“They sympathize with the enemy. They sympathize with the ideology” of the enemy, he said.”
I have long believed the radical Leftists that have the power within the Democrat Party today are in fact NOT just sympathetic towards the ham fisted style of rule as is the Muslim way, as is the Marxist way, but are actually as was Hitler allied with them towards their similar interests of a World under their despotic rule.
I believe each of these dangerous, but foolish entities think that they will ultimately rule the other after they jointly conquer the World. I think the Muslims see the Marxists rotating on a spit over a fire, and the Marxists see the Muslims as co existant allies by their charm, and their sense of fair play. Idiots all.

NOW AFTER THAT LIST, ADD THIS... Afghani military,police,and "advisors" were in on the planning...they knew the type of aircraft,time of mission and location ,how many involved,and THE ROUTE they were going to take The area involved for landing was under intense taliban incursion, ROE would not allow support aircraft to soften up area or fire upon the enemy AFTER the Helo was shot down

“Why was a commercial grade, vintage 1960’s helicopter used for this mission? Why wasn't the more heavily armored military grade version, MH-47 used? Why were so many SEALs placed aboard one helicopter, rather than two? Were these SEALs deliberately sent into an ambush for the purpose of silencing them? Was this an ‘inside job’ by Afghans in retaliation for SEAL Team 6’s Osama Bin Laden raid?”"The Vaugn family is outraged that Vice President Biden outed SEAL Team 6 as the group who executed the Osama Bin Laden raid. She said that because of Biden's 'leak', SEAL Team 6 had "a target put on their backs". Mrs. Vaughn had been personally warned by her own son via telephone to "wipe her social media clean". Mr. Vaughn suggested Joe Biden be held accountable for his remarks which far surpass mere 'gaffes' and that have cost American troops their lives. "They sympathize with the enemy. They sympathize with the ideology" of the enemy, he said."
Either the Obama/Biden/Clinton Administration and Pentagon are (1) really stupid, (2) they committed treason or (3) both. Choose your poison.
