9/11 Remembrance: Navy SEAL Who Killed Bin Laden Warns About America’s Greatest Threat Now
Fox News ^ | 09.11.2021 | Caitlin McFall

Posted on 09/11/2021 2:39:20 AM PDT by USA Conservative

As American reaches 20 years since the 9/11 attacks, the former Navy SEAL credited with killing the man behind the horror, Usama bin Laden, warned against the greatest threat now facing the U.S.

Robert O’Neill, former member of the elite SEAL Team Six, said in an interview with Fox News that despite growing concerns around a resurgence of radical Islamic terrorism, the U.S. has bigger vulnerabilities closer to home.

"My biggest concern is the division in this country," O’Neill said. "Most people are good to each other. But the anger and the division gets the ratings, and that’s what people hear. A lot of people know if they keep people divided they can stay in power and it’s wrong."

"We can disagree with each other but we're on the same team when it all comes down to it," he added.

O’Neill said 9/11 should serve as a memorial to not only those who were lost in the attacks and following years – as the U.S. engaged in the longest war in American history – but as a reminder of shared American values.

Unfortunately, in today's society, many folks would cheer if we were to be attacked. I just can't understand it. Americans who hate America. It's disturbing, to say the least.

That’s the hardest mental hurdle I had to overcome, People living Free and prosperous in the USA who absolutely hate the country and are seeking to destroy it.....

Once you accept that fact, it makes what is happening now so much easier to understand...

Um, wow. Just wow.

More evidence that the greatest threat is really the poison in the Kool-Aid.

How a SEAL cannot see the real threat truly confounds me right now…and angers me beyond words.

Our side is not divisive. Why not tell it like it is?

Our side doesn’t throw eggs at a candidate.

Our side votes once and doesn’t cheat.

Biden’s handlers removed a dozen or so off the military advisory boards. Not done before.

Psaki, the most divisive press sec of all time, says it’s to install people who share our beliefs etc.

Dude, the globalist want to enslave us. Is that what you mean by saying we’re on the same team? I want to have nothing to do with the coup plotters and ANTIFA and BLM. THEY ARE THE ENEMY OF FREEDOM!

I understand your frustration, but I'm confident that he sees and knows what the real threats are. He's also correct that being torn apart from the inside is as big a threat as any. “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” — Abraham Lincoln.

Considering this guy is a liar, it makes sense he’d miss the actual problem.

The people running the USA absolutely hate the country and are seeking to destroy it. And not just the government. Hating America is ruling class orthodoxy.

O’Neil is on quite often on the Gutfeld show.

This is not really his take—it is Caitlin McFall’s.

Bob knows who is really messing up America. It is the Woke, the Race Baiters, the Left, the democrats and the media (but I repeat myself). He has said so many times.

In this article, McFall selectively quotes O’Neil to make it seem like he has worries about ambiguous mean people. He doesn’t.

It’s not Trump supporters and {clutch pearls} insurrectionists.

It’s Fake News the Deep State and the Communists.

I know when I first started hearing things like you and I have posted, I could not grasp where these people were coming from, how could anyone hate the USA was my belief..

However, once you mentally accept that a lot of people in the USA actually do hate the country and are seeking to destroy it, it makes understanding what is going now is much easier....

I never believed it. TCG (The ChiCongo Grifter) was in charge. Dumped the body at night. Out of a helicopter. At sea.

Americans are so gullible.

Christian Americans invented the concept of Tolerance and coexistence. The communist / globalists are taking that away…quickly

Yes, I always thought that was fishy. They couldn’t produce a body so they just passed off that B.S.

I still think Bin Laden might have been wiped out in Tora Bora in the early days of the war.

Who knows? We had a genuine "Manchurian Candidate" in office and he was working in the best interests of our raghead enemies.

Didn't I read something about the leaders of the Taliban were animals he released? I wouldn't be surprised if OBL is living in anonymity on a beach in Europe.
