“Admiral James Stavridis… can tell you more about… the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday… I’d be remiss also if I didn’t say an extra word about the incredible events, extraordinary events of this past Sunday. As Vice President of the United States, as an American, I was in absolute awe of the capacity and dedication of the entire team, both the intelligence community, the CIA, the SEALs.” (emphasis added)
Less than a day after Biden’s remarks Aaron Vaughn called his mother Karen:
“There’s chatter and all of our lives are in danger including yours, Mom.”
Three Months Later A Deadly Attack on Seal Team VI
Extortion 17 was the call sign of a special operations mission in Afghanistan on Aug. 6, 2011, that responded to an Army Ranger unit engaged in a firefight with the Taliban and in need of backup.
The Chinook helicopter carrying the rescue team was shot down by a Taliban-owned rocket-propelled grenade over the Wardak Province on Aug. 6, 2011, killing 38, including 30 Americans and 15 members of Navy SEAL Team 6, the unit that killed Osama bin Laden just three months prior.
The shoot-down was described at the time as a "lucky shot," but the families of the dead SEALs believe that, like Benghazi, it was a pre-planned operation of revenge facilitated by a government that put them in harm's way without adequate support and with a bull's-eye painted on their backs.
At a Pentagon briefing on Monday, May 2, 2011, a senior defense official was asked if it was a Navy SEAL team that found and killed the world's most wanted man. The terse and proper response was: "Not going to comment on units or numbers."
Then on May 3, Vice President Joe Biden got up to speak at a dinner at Washington's Ritz Carlton Hotel marking the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council to spill the beans about Adm. James Stavridis and "the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday."
From that moment, the families believe, the Taliban looked for an opportunity for revenge, and a government more concerned with politically correct rules of engagement than victory helped them get it.
Biden skated on the leak that got SEAL Team 6 targeted for revenge. Those who now condemn Trump for trying to save American and, yes, Russian lives, were silent, especially Leon “Loose lips” Panetta. Panetta and Biden, like Hillary Clinton at Benghazi, put lives in jeopardy and got men killed.
The deaths of more than 20 Navy SEALs from the unit that took out Osama bin Laden is connected to a loose-lipped vice president who likes to sometimes pose as a presidential action figure.
To be a politician takes more chutzpah than courage. The chattering class, as the mainstream media is sometimes called, were more worried about how the successful Bin Laden raid by Navy SEALs might affect President Obama’s reelection chances in 2012. So did administration officials, as the leaks and chest-thumping began almost immediately.
SEAL missions depended on bravery, courage, skill, daring -- and secrecy. Initially, when President Barack Obama announced that “a small team of Americans” had killed Osama bin Laden, he did not identify it was the SEALs. Nor did the senior defense official at the Pentagon briefing: “Not going to comment on units or numbers.”
I am not a Mitt Romney fan, but he is right. Whatever fool, hack, clown and/or criminal on the ballot with a “D” after his name will get 47% of the vote.
The incredibly creepy way he interacts with young girls in the White House should be sufficient to undo him.
If anything dooms his candidacy, it’ll be his age. The up-and-coming young voters in this country don’t give two sh*ts about the military.
What dems do.
Baloney. Modern spec ops have a james bond complex. It was never going to remain secret. And the crash later was not a targeted assassination. It was the abysmally ridiculous tactics of our senior officers. They send out a weak patrol, with idiotic rules of engagement that forbid them to use any supporting arms a unit normally would. Then when they get into contact, the “plan” is to send in a CH47 flying clown car, stuffed with seals who are notoriously bad when working at the platoon level.
It’s ridiculous to think that some towel head on the ground with his RPG had any idea who is in the helicopter. Or that the entire Ambush was some Byzantine trap to kill those specific seals.
Last but not least, if it was supposed to be so Secret, how’s about the guy mentioned in the beginning of the article calling his dad on the phone, and saying we got him! Turn on the TV! This article is really a little bit childish.
Biden needs to get nowhere near the White House. But it’s because he’s a moron in general, and because of the idiotic Rules of Engagement he enthusiastically supported, and because of his support for Obamacare, and his corrupt entanglements with ukrainians.
But not because he said Navy Seals got bin Laden.
It’s silly to pretend like something of that magnitude was ever going to be a shrug and our leaders going somebody killed Bin Laden, it will never say what unit.
Besides it’s a standing joke in the spec ops community that if seals are involved, the final paragraph of the mission order discusses book and movie rights.
Thank you. Our finest deserve honest, wise leadership. Plugs’ associations prove his dishonesty, and his statements repeatedly affirm his ranking as #1 Buffoon.
By mentioning the u.s. Navy Seals and CIA combined to get bin Laden. And that’s a horror show.
But seals making phone calls to Mommy and Daddy from the war zone to talk about their latest missions is okay?
Opsec is opsec.
End of Biden now.
May 3, 2001, the date is obviously a misprint in the article, it should of course be May 3, 2011.
He’s a pedo. He belongs in prison.
This only matters to real Americans.
I’ve typed this many times!
Biden has had 3 deep invasive brain surgeries. Even one can change your personality.According to neurosurgeons I have talked to, one of the most common changes is a weakening of self control. I think we see this in Biden’s “touchy-feely” behavior in public and if the Secret Service stories are true his naked bathing in front of female Secret Service officers. So Biden purported to have an inability to keep his yap shut about a significant event shouldn’t surprise us.
What is surprising is the lack of discussion about Biden’s medical history and the fact it makes him potentially unfit for the office. Remember the “nuclear football” and how Rats claimed that frat boy “W Bush” was too emotionally immature to have control of it.
I can’t stand Biden, but he had NOTHING to do with this incident!
“Just three months earlier, members of a counterpart SEAL Team 6 squadron successfully raided a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and killed Osama bin Laden. In light of that raid’s success, the shootdown of Extortion 17 incited a flurry of conspiracy theories: The Taliban were tipped off; it was a trap; it was retribution for the killing. No evidence has emerged to support any of these claims. Instead, two rigorous U. S. military investigations followed every moment of the mission to determine what went wrong on Extortion 17’s final flight.

“...members of a counterpart SEAL Team 6 squadron...”
Sounds like it wasn’t even the same guys!
bttt
Dhimmicraps don’t care.
Exactly, who’s loose lips caused the attack on the SEALs?
