...the veterans' partisan excesses and absurd public remarks are turning them into a laughingstock within the special forces community.

“...a laughingstock within the special forces community.”

Total bullsh*t. This is the left’s way of not appearing to dislike the military and the SEALs. They tell a lie saying their own community does not agree with them.

"just noticed something on YT with the original clip....THERE HASN’T BEEN ONE “NEW” comment made in a week....????...WTF?"

I left a comment and that prompted a message that it was being held for review by something called 'Uploader'. I suspect it's a ploy to dampen or freeze the response.

This movie made our local news in Hampton Roads last night....they had a showing at a local hotel and it looked like it was packed.
Hope they show it again somewhere...

Perhaps military personnel aren’t supposed to be disrespectful to their commander and chief, and perhaps some of these individuals got off their main point by bringing up issues related to Obama’s background.

The author mentioned those things but didn’t dispute their basic message.

Just wait ‘til I get started! lol

There is way more to be said than most people have the patience to hear.

Suffice to say that these retired Special Ops guys are dead right.

And everybody in DC knows it. Lawrence Sellin told Mark Gillar about one of the R Pres candidates who, when asked why nobody was addressing Obama’s eligibility, said that it goes deeper than anybody knows. They all know this guy is a foreign enemy combatant. Unfortunately, there’s something he’s holding over their heads to keep them hostage from doing anything about it. That’s the “deeper than anybody knows” part, and that’s what America really needs to be afraid of.

I would bet that on a list of most respected people and entities in the USA the Navy SEALs would be a solid Number 1.

Only an arrogant fool would try to do a Kerry style "reverse Swiftboat" on the SEALs to discredit them for telling the truth about Obama and Osama.

Come to think of it, this attack on the SEALs isn't working any better than the attack on the original Swift Boat group who told the truth about Kerry, is it?

I do believe the backlash from the Obama suporters attack on the SEALs will will actually do more damage to Obama because of the huge respect the nation holds for the SEALs.

I disagree.

One of the big points from “Dishonorable Disclosures” is that all the intel opportunities from Bin Laden’s assassination were squandered because Obama went on TV to tell everybody what he did before the intel could be exploited.

I know exactly why he did that: to hide what people were in the process of fully documenting at the time - that Obama had presented a forged birth certificate to the world. He couldn’t wait to tell the world about Bin Laden because he needed a diversion NOW, to hide his own actions.

We now know why he did that. Alvin Onaka has disclosed that Obama’s Hawaii birth certificate is not legally valid. The notations showing that the record is not valid had to be removed before Obama could show anything to the world.

IOW, Hawaii has just revealed that Obama has known all along that he is an illegal President who cannot legally prove his eligibility and has been forging documents, perjuring himself, and libeling lots of good people in order to hide that fact.

That truth needs to get out there.

Maybe it’s not the SEALs who need to get that message out there. I will grant you that. But that message needs to get out to the public in a very visible way, because Obama’s treachery on the leaks, etc is all part of the same fabric as his birth certificate treachery: the guy is a foreign enemy combatant who has deliberately trashed the Constitution in order to destroy this country.

He has known all along that he was an enemy of the US Constitution, and his inaugural dance was equivalent to the victory mosque that Muslim conquerors put up where they’ve trashed their enemies. He knew he had infiltrated our White House as an enemy combatant, and he was doing a victory dance on America’s grave that night.

THAT is what people have instinctively felt in their guts for a while now, and now Alvin Onaka has provided confirmation that we were right.

Obama's flying monkeys were ready for these SEALs, after seeing how the Swiftboat vets got the truth out about Kerry.

As happened with Palin up in Alaska, this is a deliberate, organized, and well-funded smear job against any one who speaks up against the commies currently occupying the White House and populating the federal bureaucracy.

2/2 on the one hand, it reminds voters of killing OBL. On the other hand, it could reveal discrepancies in the raid story (WH didnt vet it)

B.S. I dirtied my mind by reading the article and the posts.

A couple upper level SpecOp guys said probably best not for retired and discharged SpecOp to jump into the fray. I disagree because once Obama or was it Biden? identified the bin Laden incursion force as SEAL Team X, they have a right to be pissed off. That was a huge breach in our clandestine forces protocol. That's like giving the names of CIA NOC operatives.

I also have to laugh that many posts there say Obama had the cojones (my word) to give the go. As we all know, he got called off the golf course and had the small chair in the situation room (see photos). It took NO political courage to give a green light. If he had not, his political worth would have been destroyed.

Lastly, they give credit to Obama for destroying bin Laden when it was actually years of NSA, CIA, FBI, DOD, SpecOps who found the SOB from clandestine actions started within the Bush administration, and yes, continued into the Bambi administration. This didn't just happen overnight under Bambi's authority. It was a decade long effort by our clandestine forces that was originally directed by Bush.

I'm glad retired and non-active duty SpecOps are speaking about the nummerous leaks from this self-serving WH. And I still don't believe it was coincidental that we lost some 26 SEALS (Team X), Air Force ground controllers, and pilots in one lucky shoot down. I could be wrong because of the fog of war, but what a coinky dink.

Oh, and they also still bitch about the "Mission Accomplished" photo on the USS Lincoln. What libs/socialists will never understand that the brave pilots and hard-working crew of that carrier did indeed accomplish their mission. It didn't mean they won the war, only that they fullfilled THEIR mission.

Can you see Bambi flying in on a jet to congratulate those sailors/Marines? I was never so proud of my CIC, except maybe for his speech at 911 "ground central". Bush flew high-performance jets; bambi flew a desk in Chicago, and didn't even have the balls to vote other than present so many times while a senator. Compare and contrast!
