Former Navy SEAL Launches PAC To Fight Obama

Today, Ryan Zinke, an ex-Navy SEAL and Montana State Senator, announced the launch of Special Operations for America, a political action committee dedicated to “the election of Mitt Romney and like-minded candidates.”

“Navy SEAL’s, Special Operations Personnel and Veteran’s across America have been outraged since Barack Obama conveniently took credit for killing Osama Bin Laden for political gain,” a statement announcing the loss of SOFA said. “The active duty military has no voice as they are forbidden to publicly engage in the political campaign process and it is career suicide for senior military leaders to speak out against the President.”

Mr. Zinke, who has frequently slammed the president’s handling of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, reiterated his criticisms of the operation.

“The President has failed and he is jeopardizing the safety of our troops, their families and our National security for political gain. Obama has exposed the identity of special operations units, leaked classified information, and limited the rules of engagement of forces on the ground,” said Mr. Zinke. “For those who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, it is a call of duty to take back America from a Commander-in-Chief that is incapable of understanding the sacrifices that have been made for the values that have made America great.”

Obama knows nothing about hard work and letting it all dangle on the edge.

That's why he's so loved by people who are afraid of liberty.

Interesting. I have a pretty good friend, whom I have every reason to believe was involved in the planning (career navy support for spec ops) of the binladen raid. He never mentioned any such thing, was always closed lip about his work. I am speculating because of timing. I spoke to him almost daily except when he was involved in what I believe was a detailed mission. Within one week after the death of the seals, he told me he was being transferred to another base and a different career field. I was surprised because it was so sudden and I asked him how long he had known this, he laughed and said “today.”
