Obama’s SEAL Team 6 Coverup
The Western Center For Journalism ^ | 5/30/2013 | Kris Zane

Posted on 05/30/2013 8:16:20 PM PDT by Beave Meister

On August 6, 2011, a military helicopter— Extortion 17— carrying thirty-eight men (including twenty-five of the elite SEAL Team 6, five National Guard and Army Reserve, and eight Afghan commandos) was shot down over Taliban-controlled territory in eastern Afghanistan. They had been on a top secret mission to take out a high-value target.

It was the worst loss of life in a single day since the war in Afghanistan began. Per a 1250-page military report, it was simply the result of a “lucky shot” by Taliban soldiers perched on top of a building. Per families of those killed and military experts at a press conference held on May 9, 2013, this is a lie among a host of other lies.

After the families attended a several hour military briefing about this “lucky shot,” describing what happened and why their sons died, they smelled a rat and started digging around.

Billy and Karen Vaughn, parents of Navy SEAL Aaron C. Vaughn, started poking around at the “official” story and found not a rat, but a stinking swamp, a coverup that went all the way to the top.

When the Vaughns began trying to drain the swamp, they received what the Obama administration is famous for: the shakedown. None other than one of the highest ranking officers in the nation—Admiral William McRaven, commander at U.S. Special Operations Command—paid the Vaughns a little visit, in essence telling them to keep their mouths shut.

1. Thirty SEAL Team 6, National Guard, and Army Reserve were packed
into a decrepit 1960s era CH-47 helicopter (something, according to military experts,
that was unheard of.) Per military experts, special operations were always conducted
with the state-of-the-art MH-47 helicopter—the helicopter SEAL Team 6 exclusively
trained in. Further, never—ever—were that many special operations personnel packed
into a single helicopter.
They were always split up into small groups with multiple MH-47s.

2. Although the military could have easily taken out the Taliban positions
with a drone strike prior to the operation, as the families were later told,
this was not done because there were possible “friendlies” among the Taliban;
the United States wanted to “win the minds and hearts of the enemy.”

3. Although the military had intel that the Taliban were planning on firing on a helicopter,
although an intense battle had been raging for several hours,
and although normal protocol mandated that the CH-47 required at least one gunship escort,
all normal rules of war were suspended.

4. There were eight nameless Afghan commandos onboard the CH-47.
Eight Afghan commandos were loaded onto the CH-47 along with their American counterparts;
but at the last minute, they were replaced without changing the manifest.
It was as if someone knew they were going on a suicide mission
and pulled them out.
The official in charge of the investigation (General Jeffrey Colt), in his 1250-page report, did
not address this fact and did not even mention it.
In fact, it is likely these original Afghan commandos contacted the Taliban,
telling them the CH-47 was on its way.

5. Everyone on Extortion 17 was immediately cremated without permission
from the families, supposedly because the bodies were so badly burned in the crash.
According to Charles Strange, father of Navy SEAL Michael Strange, this need to
immediately cremate everyone aboard is a complete lie.
Taliban on the ground in fact found the bodies of the crew.
The Obama administration cremated everyone in order to cover up something.

6. The CH-47 black box was “lost” according to the military investigation
—“washed away by an Afghan flood.” As most know, aircraft black boxes don’t get “lost”;
they are virtually indestructible and carry a tracking device that makes them easy to locate.
It was “lost” in order to cover up something the Obama administration wants to keep hidden.

7. Probably one of the most shocking revelations in the SEAL Team 6 coverup,
something that was first brought out during the press conference that shows
Obama is no Christian but is in fact a closet Muslim, is that Barack Hussein Obama
disallowed the name of Jesus to be spoken during the initial military memorial service
in Kabul and permitted a radical Islamic iman to curse our dead heroes.

the leftists elites get away with this because we have cowardly underlings who don't want to loose their pensions...their precious military pensions....God have mercy on THEIR souls....

because true evil happens when good people allow it to happen....

the military elites in this country are absolutely pathetic IMO.....too many years of Clintoon and now, too many years with the faker....

If my son or daughter died on that helicopter I would spend the rest of my life hounding those bastards in charge until I found out the truth. How dare those bastards cremate any remains without permission.

I’d like to say I’m shocked but not much from these people surprises me anymore. It does, however, still break my heart. That will never change.

You know something is fishy when a story that big is barely covered. Barry didn’t even bother to collect his mourner-in-chief points.

Perhaps they were immediately cremated because evidence of an on board explosive might be found on their bodies? Was that helicopter inspected prior to take-off? Or the Afghans boarding it for that matter? Hmmmmm..

We want justice.

Has to happen. I read the article.

When will those in positions who can do something, do something? What can ordinary citizens do?

I just sent this article to a friend of mine who is one of the Chiefs of SEAL Team 1 down on Coronado. I can’t wait to hear his thoughts.

I can see why they named the mission “Extortion 17”.

I saw part of the SEAL Team 6’s parents’ press conference.

General McInerney (I think) said in an interview after the conference, “The Bubbas will win this fight.” (Damn right!)

And, Ace Lyons (former Admiral of the Pacific Fleet-military analyst and strategist) also said when interviewed, the moslem brotherhood has infiltrated every government agency and that it had ACCELERATED under the Obama administration.

Men worth listening to. (God bless the parents of these SEAL heroes.)

Oh, and the father of one of the SEALs was asked if any congresscritter had shown any interest in their concerns—he said Rubio was the only one.

But, then, he said Rubio said he would contact McCain about it, and the father said, “That’s ok-—nevermind. We’ll deal with this ourselves.” (not very good for Rubio or his new buddy Juan McCain.)

If anyone leaked military secrets and should be punished its Obama and not some news reporters.

Why was it necessary to release info the Seal Team 6 were the ones who killed Osama.

Just for political points ! Obama leaked and good men died.
