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!
