"A lingering mystery in the August 2011 helicopter crash that killed 30 U.S. servicemen in Afghanistan is why some bodies were cremated and some were not.
***snip***
"Charles Strange of Philadelphia, Michael’s father, said two Navy casualty representatives informed him that his son was “burnt up.” Based on that information, he said, he and Michael’s mother authorized the petty officer’s cremation.
***snip***
“I looked at the picture. And my son did not have to be cremated. He was laying there. His one ankle was messed up. But he was laying there like he had a gun in his hand. He wasn’t burnt at all."

Smells like RATs.
All the obama scandals need to be approached from the flank. There was a talk show on FOX with three prominent commentators (two democrat, one republican). They were all in agreement that obama must have damaging information on boehner for him not to be doing his job in all these scandals. They all agreed that boehner needed to go.
Maybe Obunga/Military wanted to destroy the Grenade shrapnel evidence. Rumor has it one of the Afghani’s cooked one off on the flight. Not to hard to believe.
Sounds likely...the replaced Afghanis on the Chinook were suiciders. That’s what the rangers were freaked out about!
Sounds like somebody in the military expected a non-cremated body to be exhumed later on so it could prove something in question that they did NOT want proven. IOW, it sounds like somebody in the military knew that those guys were murdered, and wanted to cover it up.
I would hope that Klayman and Strange would be able to get the records showing exactly who that “somebody” was.
The CH-47's black box allegedly "washing away in a flood" is direct evidence of a cover up. The gubmint didn't want anyone to find out that this chopper was taken down from WITHIN.
Even worse is that the government probably KNEW that the Afghans in the chopper were possible terrorists.
P.S. Ch-47 is the standard model designation for that helicopter. The MH-47 are unique to the US Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne).
This was a hit.. What did SEAL Team 6 know about the OBL raid that we're not supposed to know?
If it were “just” corruption it would be better than what is. What is now is Tyranny.
We are well into our own version of “Night of the Long Knives”. It is just taking longer and is so far more subtle.
Remember, Leftism and chitown thuggery have three tools; Envy, Greed and Fear. Fear is the last and most powerful card. If the SEALS can be gotten rid of what message does this send to others?
I have a question. . .
MER (Max. Effective Range) evaluation of the standard RPG in use.
(Note: Firings on a range, in daylight, with known ranges, with <7mph crosswind)
Target: 5 meter by 2.5 meter (15’ X 7.5’) moving at 9mph across line of sight
An experienced operator cannot expect a first round hit more than 50% of the time beyond 180 meters.
Extortion 17 -— CH-47D conditions at time of shootdown:
Local Time:0222 (Dark)
Aircraft lighting: Standard Blackout
Altitude: 100-150 feet
Speed: approx 50 knots
Distance from known firing point (tower on a two story mud house) 220 meters
Enemy force “fired 2 or 3 RPG’s in rapid succession” with one striking the aft rotor.
(Info per: United States Central Command, MacDill AFB Executive Summary of 9Sept2011)
Now, the question. . .WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT??????
Are those guys that good?
By the way, why would those 3 or 4 guys know to be on a tower with “RPG’s” that close to the ingress route?
(Being that the “Taliban force” was currently engaged with an attacking “Task force built around a Ranger Platoon”)
Why were so many “High Value Assets (33 personnel and one dog)” be going to a “Hot” LZ in a single CARGO CH-47D?
(and not two MH47-D’s as is SOP? The “M” really means a lot.)
Etc., etc., etc.?????
It wasn’t a hit by our President. I just don’t see that happening.
That being said. I believe that this was a suicide attack. I believe the military is covering that up. Why? Idk. My guess is embarrassment.
Prayers for the families of those who lost loved ones.
Thank you for the ping and the post and for keeping us up to date on this.
just found this:
President of Freedom Watch Larry Klayman has laid out his agenda to reclaim America on November 19, 2013 in Washington, DC in front of the White House. Klayman, who has been actively involved in Barack Obama eligibility cases, supported the veterans and truckers’ protests recently and been very vocal in calling out Obama for who he really is, has made available an organized agenda for the 19th. We told you what his goal was recently. Now here is his blueprint.
RECLAIM AMERICA NOW* AGENDA NOVEMBER 19TH
I don’t think they knew anything particularly damaging, other than that this could probably have been done long ago and Obama didn’t do it until it became politically expedient for him.
But I do think that Obama’s AQ buddies had demanded a blood payment for the death of Osama. Probably a lot of money had changed hands, too, hence the name “Extortion 17.” It’s certainly not impossible that an Afghani suicide bomber had gotten himself onto the flight, but it was most certainly an ambush and they had no chance. For one thing, the ROE forbade them from firing.

I disagree that Obama did this. Just don’t see that at all. Sorry.
