KUHNER: Who betrayed Navy SEAL Team 6?
Washington Times ^ | Saturday August 10, 2013 | Jeffery Kuhner

Posted on 08/10/2013 7:27:40 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

What really happened to Navy SEAL Team 6? In August 2011, the elite special forces unit suffered the worst battlefield calamity in its history. A Taliban fighter shot down a Chinook helicopter carrying 22 Navy SEAL Team 6 members in Afghanistan. All 38 persons on board — the Navy SEAL warriors, other U.S. military personnel and seven Afghan soldiers — were killed. Grieving family members have been demanding answers. They may now get some as Congress finally opens an investigation.

Navy SEAL Team 6 has attained international prominence for one reason: They were responsible for killing Osama bin Laden. They are American heroes. Yet, their own government betrayed them. Several days after the bin Laden operation, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — in a pathetic attempt to spike the football and gloat — publicly revealed their central role in the raid. His revelations put a giant target on the backs of every Navy SEAL Team 6 member.

[.....]

Apparently, someone tipped them off that the SEALs were coming; the helicopter was attacked from three sides in a coordinated ambush. The U.S. military claimed that the Chinook was blown to pieces by a shoulder-fired missile, in which everyone on board was burned beyond recognition. Hence, senior military officials ordered the American bodies cremated without the prior approval of their family members.

The military’s narrative, however, is false. Charles Strange, whose son, Michael, died during the attack, says he viewed the pictures of the crash site. “I saw Mike’s dead body,” Mr. Strange said in an interview. “It was clearly recognizable. He was clutching his gun. He wasn’t burned to a crisp. Why did they cremate my boy? They didn’t need to do that. Something’s not right.”

There are numerous questions that need to be answered. Why was the Chinook’s black box never found? The military claims it was washed away in a flash flood. Impossible. Flash flooding is extremely rare — almost unheard of — in that part of Afghanistan. Why was the Chinook not given aerial backup, which is standard military procedure when special forces are deployed?

It was clearly a hit if not arranged by the administration, at least sanctioned. Payback

The enmy was given the ETA and flight path obviously. Shot at from 3 positions at the same time and the back box mysteriously dsappearing with a cargo that valuable. Smells...

I will NEVER believe the BinLaden raid and death. It was not BL that was dumped in the ocean two hours later. Pure theater and BS to prop up the grifter.

“I never heard Aaron this concerned and worried in his entire life,” Mrs. Vaughn said in an interview. “He called me and said, ‘Mom, you and Dad have to take everything down. Biden has just put a huge target on everybody.’”

Stand up, "Chuck". Maybe after you finish spiking the football, you and your mouth can take a bow.

Joe, I thank God I'm not you, you poor tormented soul. None of this fun will have been worth what you've earned.

Or that ObL's "funeral" was done with more official respect, honor and ceremony than what was done for Seal Team 6.

I forget, what did Osama bin Laden do?

this link similar article is much easier to read

I did not know about the military ordered cremation
what about respect for family religious beliefs and objections to cremation??????

why. In past all remains have been treated with utmost reverence. Even remains of Vietnam POWs not cremated but brought home

the DVD they sent the families of the DoD sponsored muslim funeral is a horrifying and UNBELIEVABLE story
I head the Vaughns claim they have been silenced about revealing the outrage of this “funeral” (aka muslims spiking the football over our dead warriors ashes) by DEATH THREATS

Maybe it had something to do with concealing the identities of the 7 Afghan "military" "passengers" that the Vaughn's say were added to the flight at the last second.

Actually, they were replacements for 7 others who were supposed to be on that flight.

Nobody has come forward to say who decided to make the last second decision.

Tipping off the Taliban via Biden’s loose lips is bad enough. Whoever gave and/or carried out the order to put 38 men on a slow moving chopper flying into a combat zone has far more blood on their hands.

Obama sold our troops out to the Pakistanis as payback for not telling them about the raid on Bin laden. Who knows the whole raid could have been a wag the dog event anyway to pump up Obama’s approval. Regardless our govt sold out our hero’s to the enemy.

I’m not so sure Benghazi didn’t have something to do with the BL coverup.

My wild speculation. Bin Laden was going to die naturally. Kidney failure or whatever. He arranged a deal for his Al Qeada brethren. Allow the US to kill him in a raid that Obama/Hillary and Biden would ride to reelection, in exchange for military and financial support in Libya, Egypt, Syria etc... Everything went fine in Libya for awhile. Al Qeada and the Muslim brotherhood carried the day there for awhile. Everything was going fine in Egypt, until the military decided the Muslim Brotherhood was taking over. The fighting still goes on in Syria. Part of the deal however, to prevent a backlash from the Al Qeada masses, would be setting up the team that killed Bin Laden.

As part of the deal they were also running a lot of weapons to Al Qeada and the Muslim Brotherhood through Ben Ghazi. The attack that killed Stevens et. al. however, was a complete surprise that forced Obama and Hillary into inaction and a clumsy attempt at blaming a video. Obama and the Oligarchy thought they had a deal. Hillary had to bow out for awhile as a result of the video charade. In reality, they have no idea what they have done. Just watch the news the next few months as the world slowly sinks into war.

I know it is pretty out there and tin foil, but it does tie everything up into a nice little package.

They were cremated because Bin Laden was cremated. They probably gave Bin Laden's main wife a choice, cremation or burial at sea. They certainly would not want the body to be used as Lenin's body was used. She choose cremation. And that is where the US Oligarchy's evil plan all went to crap. They have no idea what they have done.

The entire Op wuz fake and impossible.

It's difficult to assassinate a dead man (but possible to take out his Crash Dummie), dump his phantom corpse at sea, then hope the Seal Team tucks away the charade forever.

I think our government cremated the bodies and made the black box disappear because bomb residue and telemetry will show that the helicopter was BLOWN UP FROM THE INSIDE BY AN AFGHAN "SOLDIER" WEARING AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE. These SEALs were wiped out by the administration because of something they knew regarding the OBL raid. Curiously, Benghazi was covered-up just like this incident was. Could 0bama be engaged in terrorist hits against our elite forces? Probably. Ft. Hood was 'workplace violence' too? Yes, when you have a president who consistently sides with the enemy. He IS the enemy.

I believe Chris Kyle was also set-up to be killed because King O was nervous about going golfing knowing what Kyle was capable of. There might have been a plan of retribution by SEALs for the helicopter downing and 0bama's snooping NSA and DOJ got word of it. All speculation on my part.

Your theory makes a lot of sense. The only thing I would question is the video scenario. My opinion is that it was done ahead of time and was ready to go when the Benghazi fiasco occurred. Seems like I remember someone at the Embassy in Tripoli tweeted that the demonstrations there were caused by the video. This was right before the attack on Benghazi. And don’t forget the big ad that Hitlery and Bozo put out in Afghanistan (or was it Pakistan?) just a few days later denying any knowledge of or responsibility for the video. Remember: anytime either of them says anything in public, we can all be assured that the exact opposite is the truth. When they did that, I was pretty convinced that they had cooked up the whole video scheme themselves beforehand.

They may have just jumped on the video because of what happened in Egypt. They were flailing around looking for something to blame. Not saying the kidnap Stevens plot was false, only that it requires a whole bunch more tin foil then I have right now.

Forgive me if I'm not caught up totally on this...

I heard about the 7 added Afghani passengers and find that very suspicious...

..but I'm also reading here that the helicopter was slammed by 3 different rockets...

...Please help me understand....what was the purpose of the 7 passengers?

Initially I thought maybe they were suicide bombers....

..but if the helicopter was slammed from outside forces, how does this fit?

Thanks.

Interesting, and I hadn't thought of that, that the "anti-Islam video" was a cover story staged IN ADVANCE of the attack, not afterwards. This would mean that the Benghazi attack was planned with knowledge of the U.S. gov't. Staged hostage-taking of Stevens (gone awry) to get the Blind Sheik released to Morsi?

Could it also be that 'Nakoula' guy (video creater) is a CIA informant/operative who helped develop the video lie by overdubbing his video? What does he know? Jailed for a YEAR for a probation violation??? Yeah right.

Interesting theory, but the helicopter was attacked with an explosive rocket. There would have been explosive residue on their bodies just from that and all the internal munitions. And perhaps the added Afghans were there in case the ambush failed and the helicopter landed or tried to leave the area.
