This is what happened:
Obama was presented with 2 or 3 different times when they could have gotten bin laden. He stopped it each time.
In frustration, Panetta asked him under what circumstances they would have the go ahead, and elicited specific responses from him.
Then Panetta made sure those circumstances were in place, and started the operation.
When it was too late to stop it they called Obama on the golf course and let him know. He came back and tried to stop it. Panetta cornered him and said he would go public if he stopped it again. So he sat there like a petulant child (obvious in the photos) while the adults in the room did their job.
When it was successful, he took credit for it, proudly overstating his role in the matter “Yay for me, when I GAVE THE ORDER they were ready”
It was Panetta who gave the order.
To appease the muzzie brotherhood that he was trying to help establish, he gave up the seal team.
The crash of Extortion 17 was not the Pakistan raid on Bin Laden’s compund.
Military abuse of special forces as a crutch for extremely poor tactics. The ROE forbade almost all supporting arms unless they could guarantee no unarmed afghan was hurt. So when contract was made, no AC-130 was allowed, no arty if they even had any left. The response was to send a flying clown car stuffed with SEALs and SF into the valley. They were bunched up. And despite several hit movies, SF is not a substitute for infantry in the proper numbers and configuration.
We currently suffer from the poorest high level military leadership we have ever had.
Obama is black...... that’s all
A crusty cynic might have come to the conclusion that perfumed princes in concert with progressive globalist leaders set about to destroy special ops warriors through misuse, lack of supporting arms and fatal ROEs. Uniformity is the goal of diversification.
At least that’s what a cynic might think....
Blessed is the cynic, for he is never disappointed.
your response makes no sense
To appease the muzzie brotherhood that he was trying to help establish, he gave up the seal team.He's saying Seal Team 6 was sacrificed because they took out bin Laden.
I believe Mr K knows that...
Sitting solemnly near the memorial was Nick's grandfather.
He was visibly distraught so I spoke briefly with him.
He informed me in no uncertain terms that he believed that Obama had his grandson killed.
Lawyers run the military and the ROE.
Perhaps some of you heard author Don Brown on the Coast to Coast radio show last night. He mentioned that the overstuffed Vietnam-era Chinook hovered in place for seven long minutes immediately before being shot down. And then there’s the missing black box and the mysterious “coalition group” that visited the crash site before anyone else could get there, then disappeared. Who were they? Did they nab the black box? The story that it was swept away in a flash flood is an obvious lie. Brown seemed to hint that the Afghans onboard — terrible soldiers who resented the Seals and shared the same tribal loyalties of their fellow Afghans — may have had something to do with the downing. We’ll probably never know the truth.
A truthfully informed public is essential for representative government to function.
There are nefarious groups of people who do not want representative government to function, who do not want the public to be truthfully informed, who, whether or not they are aware of it, want the law of the jungle to prevail.
This is the law of the jungle: the strongest survive; the weakest are destroyed.
We live either under the rule of law or under the law of the jungle.
War is the law of the jungle.
Western Civilisation is in an advanced state of decay. American society is decadent. Contempt for truth is the evil most fundamental to the decadence; note tagline.
Millions of people do not comprehend what's going on, either because they lack the wit or are wilfully blind to it; some are afraid of truth. They prove the adage: A fool is more dangerous than a scoundrel. Benevolent people who bring disinformation or who refuse to bring truth to the public fall into this category.
I don't know what the truth is--about this incident or other matters of vital public importance--but I do know this: We cannot trust our political leaders or our major sources of information to inform us truthfully, and truth--truth for its own sake--is our greatest ally, our greatest safety, and what we need most.
The Information Age has the potential to bring truth to all the people of the world. It also has a dark side: It can bring them untruth, disinformation, and propaganda, and it can support the law of the jungle.
The most important single thing that benevolent people can do is demand truth--truth for its own sake--whatever that may be, wherever it may reveal itself, regardless of the consequences.
Most people are fundamentally benevolent and will behave benevolently if they are truthfully informed.
And why didn’t they have Apache or Cobra gunship cover on a mission like this, I always thought is was SOP.
There is a fifth column operating in the USA today. It is strong, powerful, well financed, and resourceful, and millions of Americans serve it as its useful idiots.
