Usama bin Laden's killer turns Twitter wrath to 'awful' VA
Fox News.com ^ | June 29, 2017

Posted on 06/29/2017 3:21:14 PM PDT by Kaslin

The man credited with killing Usama bin Laden has turned his attention from storming compounds in Abbottabad, Pakistan, to tweet storms like the one he launched against a White House spokeswoman on Wednesday, criticizing Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Sanders for her defense of the Veterans Affairs Administration – and even making the fight personal.

O’Neill, a Fox News contributor, apparently got angry after Sanders, while castigating the media during a White House press briefing, lamented that reporters weren’t covering stories such as “the success at the VA.”

“I just heard @SarahHuckabee talk about “successes” at the VA. PLEASE explain and I would LOVE to debate you. VA is a damn insult to vets!!” O’Neill began the series of messages.

Trump signs VA reform bill, following through on campaign promise
Fox ^ | June 23, 2017 | Barnini Chakraborty

Posted on 6/23/2017, 7:51:16 PM by GonzoII

President Trump on Friday signed Veterans Affairs reform legislation meant to protect whistleblowers while making it easier to fire problematic employees at the department.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act passed by Congress earlier this month streamlines the process to remove, demote, or suspend VA employees for poor performance or misconduct. In addition, it authorizes the VA secretary to recoup any bonuses awarded to employees who have acted improperly.

“Veterans have fulfilled their duty to this nation and now, we must fulfill our duty to them,” Trump said. “So to every veteran who is here with us today, I just want to say two very simple words, thank you.”

I must admit that I have been getting better care recently. Seems like a sudden change. Maybe they are taking preemptive action to avoid the wrath of Trump.

These types of problems are never really solved, but they can be mitigated down and held in check.

Usama bin Laden was the 'stand-in' lookalike that the Seals killed.

Osama bin Laden was the old leader of the Al Queda who died in a cave hit by deep penetrating missiles and bombs. (just kidding... maybe)

O’Neill has a drinking problem IMO. It has raised it’s ugly head before.

Kudos to Rob O'Neill and his service to this country but I'm getting sick and tired of his appearances on FOX.....

While he wasn't the only one who was on that mission, he certainly seems to be the one who profited the most............

Media fame tends to inflate the egos of even navy seals..........I'm tired of him and I wish he would just go away.

“but I’m getting sick and tired of his appearances on FOX.”

Yup...each time he loses credibility..now he wants to start a war about the VA, except he’s shooting at the wrong people. Anybody who blames Team Trump and not the previous 3 Administrations and Congress Critters(yes that’s you McCain) has been compromised by MONEY!!! He’s probably in bed with that CIA guy from Utah ...friends of McCain.

Name
There is no universally accepted standard for transliterating Arabic words and Arabic names into English; however, bin Laden's name is most frequently rendered "Osama bin Laden". The FBI and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), as well as other U.S. governmental agencies, have used either "Usama bin Laden" or "Usama bin Ladin". Less common renderings include "Ussamah bin Ladin"

Fox is the only network to spell it that way. Don’t know why.

It is believed US government usage changed from Osama to Usama to make it less like Obama.

The name isn’t originally in the Latin alphabet, so transliterating it is mostly personal preference, as it is in other languages that don’t use the Latin alphabet.

He’s a phony of the highest order. No Seal becomes a camera jockey and talks about his missions. He is no better than Jesse Jackson where no camera is good enough. Screw this guy
