If this doesn’t warrant literal pitchforks and torches in Washington, I don’t know what would. Make good use of town hall season and rub your Congresscritter’s nose in it.

Why are the SEALS treated as the only ones that died?

“It was an ambush. I wonder who set them up.”

That’s what happened to my son and three others. I’m still wondering.

The shootdown of Yamamoto’s airplane was a SIGINT coup.

Such a shame. RIP.

Plausible denial. . .

Guess the libs in all the major cities will be out tomorrow with huge 100,000 anti-war demonstrations and the usual Obama mustache signs and banners, "Obama lied, People died", etc. Be sure and take pics and videos.

Is this part of the budget cuts?


No.

Because, as of right, now they are the only ones we know of who died on the chopper. When the others are known they will get attention as well. The timing of this is a tad suspicious, though. It reeks of a set-up.

It would be very interesting to know how often:
- Seals special Ops have so many troops together in one aircraft. That seems fishy to me.
- Seals special Ops participate in combined arms ops inside an aircraft with foreign military. That seems fishy to me.

I cant help but wonder if when they took off, those guys looked around inside the aircraft and thought to themselves - ‘oh shit we are set up for an ambush...we’re screwed’. I’m guessing it crossed the minds in at least a few of thesewar saavy vets. I also wonder if any of them or their commanders spoke up and argued against this mission, Of course we’ll never know, but I have to believe there were at least a few people that didnt like the way it was setting up.

Finally, there’s this little annoying debt crises and credit rating issue. Sure seems handy that will be off the first story for a little while because of this tragedy.

I’m telling you. Words cannot express the disdain and real hatred I have for this filthy Kenyan intruder and his country destroying minions.

Every last one of them should be removed. from office.
(politically. of. course.)

First...G-d comfort their families, and may the fallen Rest in His Peace. This is beyond heartbreaking.

I don’t know why, but I felt the need to visit the DUmp. They have a thread on this as well. What stuns me is over there they are questioning the “coincidence” as much as we are here.

May G-d help us all...as many seem to have the same gut level suspicions.

This is terrible news! I’m with others, in that it seems like it was some kind of set-up. I do understand that things happen in war and the bad guys are trying to win as well, but this seems way too convenient. I just hope that they’ve had the chance to tell the story of what really happened in the OBL raid and that it isn’t gone forever. A very sad day for the USA.

Just get it right. Terrible spelling and grammar is part of the problem. We have to hang on to our heritage. It’s not a little deal, kapish?

Did you mean capisce?

I try not to give too much credence to conspiracy theories, and I really hate where my mind is going on this. I *hope* it's a tragic coincidence . (Of course, any service deaths are tragic.) But in any case, November 2012 can't get here too soon.

Your wondering has ring of an actual possibility, though I have no doubt if zer0 could, zer0 would for his birthday present. The same with all the moles in the department of state. No doubt here. Wish I had proof. Moslem Brotherhood is now recognized by our nation, thanks to recent efforts of zer0 and state. An unwise move, bringing in more moles to our government from the cult of hate ... imho

WHAT????? YEah sounds too much like the Polish Government to me. For those that don’t know, that’s about like losing a company of regular soldiers.
