What really happened to Navy SEAL Team 6? In August 2011, the elite special forces unit suffered the worst battlefield calamity in its history. A Taliban fighter shot down a Chinook helicopter carrying 22 Navy SEAL Team 6 members in Afghanistan. All 38 persons on board — the Navy SEAL warriors, other U.S. military personnel and seven Afghan soldiers — were killed. Grieving family members have been demanding answers. They may now get some as Congress finally opens an investigation.
Navy SEAL Team 6 has attained international prominence for one reason: They were responsible for killing Osama bin Laden. They are American heroes. Yet, their own government betrayed them. Several days after the bin Laden operation, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — in a pathetic attempt to spike the football and gloat — publicly revealed their central role in the raid. His revelations put a giant target on the backs of every Navy SEAL Team 6 member.

Apparently, someone tipped them off that the SEALs were coming; the helicopter was attacked from three sides in a coordinated ambush. The U.S. military claimed that the Chinook was blown to pieces by a shoulder-fired missile, in which everyone on board was burned beyond recognition. Hence, senior military officials ordered the American bodies cremated without the prior approval of their family members.
The military’s narrative, however, is false. Charles Strange, whose son, Michael, died during the attack, says he viewed the pictures of the crash site. “I saw Mike’s dead body,” Mr. Strange said in an interview. “It was clearly recognizable. He was clutching his gun. He wasn’t burned to a crisp. Why did they cremate my boy? They didn’t need to do that. Something’s not right.”

They may have just jumped on the video because of what happened in Egypt. They were flailing around looking for something to blame. Not saying the kidnap Stevens plot was false, only that it requires a whole bunch more tin foil then I have right now.
I heard about the 7 added Afghani passengers and find that very suspicious...
..but I'm also reading here that the helicopter was slammed by 3 different rockets...
...Please help me understand....what was the purpose of the 7 passengers?
Initially I thought maybe they were suicide bombers....
..but if the helicopter was slammed from outside forces, how does this fit?
Thanks.
Could it also be that 'Nakoula' guy (video creater) is a CIA informant/operative who helped develop the video lie by overdubbing his video? What does he know? Jailed for a YEAR for a probation violation??? Yeah right.
Mistake #1 is believing what the gov’t tells you. They’re hiding the black box for a reason.
I don't believe what the government tells me.....not anymore, not for a long time.
Interesting theory, but the helicopter was attacked with an explosive rocket. There would have been explosive residue on their bodies just from that and all the internal munitions. And perhaps the added Afghans were there in case the ambush failed and the helicopter landed or tried to leave the area.

Because they are comfortable and fighting "O" would require an "effort".... and loss of the "O" supporters, blind as they may be. They care not what happens to the Country and Citizens they have sworn to serve. They have what they need to survive on a extremely comfortable level, immune to the laws and suffering of the people or the Country no matter what "O" does.
Why is joe biden still alive? TRAITOR!
I agree, the whole episode stinks to high heaven.
Because he's still the Devil's #2 tool. Don't worry -- Judgment Day is just around the corner.
The RATs love Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” especially the part where Long John says “Dead men tell no tales”. If you can’t connect those dots then your just what the RATs are looking for.
It’s said that a Muzzie cleric “prayed” at a memorial and totally desecrated their honor???
Justice is never done. These bastards are living to long in my book.
WHY would GWB stop hunting him???
Because the assassinated former Pakistani PM said OBL dead more than a decade ago!!!
Anyone remember when GWB said he wanted OBLs head in a box? What is so delicious about this being a possibility is that BO claims to have killed him. Would that be a hoot for W, knowing just where on the Crawford ranch OBL is located? Talk about the last laugh.
