What was this helicopter shot down with? Did Iran provide it, China, Russia, who? Have we learned nothing from North Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan? You can’t fight a war humanly and half assed, It is a act of violence by definition. Trump had it right, if you go to war, you fight to win and take what what is left to pay for it. This nation building is insane and ignores all of human history.

“3-Where is Husein’s statement”

He was darn quick to issue one on the celebration of Ramadan, while completely missing the Christians’ celebration of Easter.

Inside betrayal by Afghan moles coupled with the current ROE laid on by the undocumented Muslim alien from Nairobi who, if given the chance, would have betrayed the entire Seal Team 6 unit in a heartbeat. Molon labe, Soetero, you cowardly, treasonous punk.

I don’t believe in coincidences. ESPECIALLY this one. I want to check bambi’s blackberry.

Obama must be so proud.

Can’t kill his Muslim brother and get away with it.

How’s the Obama peace talks with the Taliban going?

I thought the same thing..especially since Team 6 got Osama....remember the suicide bombing of the CIA camp? There were 7 Afghan commandos on the chopper.

Crash investigators should be able to determine if the explosion originated INSIDE the chopper..

This is simply getting rid of the hit man, so they can never tell who they killed and what went down.

Add one more tragic failure to the list. Why didn’t they capture him and tie him to a waterboard? Oh yeah, they would have marandized him.

“Were they shot down or did one of the Afghan special forces flying with them go for his 72 virgins?”

First thing I thought as well
