Did the Obama administration put a target on the backs of members of Navy SEAL Team 6? This is the question that parents of slain SEALs are now asking — and rightly so. Forget Benghazi, the IRS, Eric H. Holder Jr. and the National Security Agency spying on U.S. citizens. Important as these scandals are, what happened to SEAL Team 6 could very well dwarf them. Our government betrayed America's finest warriors.
Navy SEAL Team 6 became a household name for their role in killing Osama bin Laden. On May 1, 2011, the country rightly celebrated the death of bin Laden. The Obama administration, however, wanted to do more. It sought to claim full credit for the assassination, deciding to spike the football. On May 3, at an event in Washington, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. did the unthinkable: He publicly revealed the identity of the special-operations unit responsible for bin Laden's killing. His reckless action put at risk the lives of every member of SEAL Team 6. The Taliban and other jihadists eager to avenge bin Laden now knew which unit to target. Stunned and shocked, SEAL members immediately realized they were going to be hunted by al Qaeda sympathizers.
Karen Vaughn, the mother of slain SEAL Aaron Vaughn, says that within hours after Mr. Biden's comments, her son called to tell her to wipe away every piece of information regarding the family on social media, Facebook and Twitter. "I never heard Aaron that afraid in his life," Mrs. Vaughn said in an interview. "He told me: 'Mom, we're picking up chatter. We're not safe. You're not safe. Delete everything.'"
According to Mrs. Vaughn, Mr. Biden essentially placed a bull's-eye on her son's back — and that of all the other SEALs. He leaked classified information.

post #9 - "I would never suspect a US president of allowing a hit on US soldiers." As CinC Obama really stinks and so does Hillary, the lying twit wanna be POTUS....she is worthless as well.
As much as I think Zero a worthless dirtbag, would he be able to micro manage to this level? Why would SEALS get on this kind of AC to start with??
This was a Special Operation involving a national security issue. Nothing should have been revealed except the death of the target. It is called "Need to know" information for very good reasons. In this case very few needed to know. SEAL Team Six was thrown to the wolves by ones who hate our nation.
When I saw Hillary and her girlfriends laughing at Khadaffi’s murder it reminded me of the ancient Romans at the Colliseum.
Obama did everything but pull the trigger on the RPG that shot them down.
They were set-up to pay back Al Qaeda for the death of Bin Laden.
He didn’t trade their lives for Bin Ladens. He traded their lives to appease our enemies and keep them from escalating the war in response to bin ladens death.

The military would never put valuable assets in such a vulnerable position, nor would they put the entire team in the same helicopter.
I cannot see that happening unless it was an assassination.
I can very easily see military higher ups doing this. The brass are nothing but politicians. They wouldn’t hesitate to put valuable assets in such a vulnerable position. To them, they are nothing but government issue (GI’s)to be used and discarded in any way they see fit.
Michael Savage has been all over this since it happened. It has taken nearly 2 years for questions to come to light. His interview with the parents of a fallen Navy Seal is an eye opener. You can hear it on his website.
BTTT!!...Navy Seal Families you tube

Have to remember that it the military brass didn’t dispute the Gulf of Tonkin lie, even though they knew it was a lie, that led to the needless death and maiming of thousands of troops and millions of Vietnamese in a war that tore this country apart. They went right along with it.
I have read speculation that Hillary had armed the Al Qaeda with anti-aircraft missiles to bring down Qadafi aircraft in Libya ( before she violated International Law and bombed a sovereign country) and .in a panic, she realized that the Al Qaeda could bring down American aircraft ( which they will with weapons she gave them). Ambassador Stevens was dispatched with one body guard to Benghazi with 80 million dollars in crates to “buy back: the “stingers”. When they arrived at the undefended “consulate” they were mercilessly attacked on 9/11 ( how could she be so stupid?)— The Al Qaeda took the money and killed Stevens. Brave heroes tried to fight back but SHE ordered “NO HELP” because it would expose her. ( with that crap head for a “president” backing her because an election was looming and he didn’t know if he could steal it yet). That is it, in my opinion.
That creature of Satan doesn’t go a single day without making me want to throw up on him.
This might be the thread to ask. Why did so many SEALs, or former SEALs start cranking out books, and why isn’t the content of those books covered by all kinds of NDAs?
I was pissed at Biden/etc. revealing a lot of stuff that was going on, but also pissed that so many books started coming out.
Yup, isn’t that something? Seems they didn’t hesitate a second to make a quick buck over their comrades bodies.
Fox News Channel tonight, hosted by Geraldo Rivera is covering this subject tonight. Unfortunately I just saw the end of the program but we all can see it at www.foxnews.com/geraldoatlarge

I am given to understand that there is a thread of distaste throughout the wider military for the publicity that certain of the SEALs both seek and get in a manner often disproportionate to their (admittedly very important and impressive) accomplishments. The SEAL Teams certainly deserve our complete support and respect for their very important work, but they are most definitely *not* the sum total of the US Military. Let’s not forget to give the grunt his due, I say.
and yet they still wanted a burial at sea so as not to “inflame anyone”
