Or the Taliban used al-Zawahiri as bait and were waiting for the helicopter as it prepared to land. Textbook ambush.

May their deaths be lain at the feet of those who have betrayed them. I too am suspicious of the timing of this event, and have no doubt (zer0 and state involved) and was a probable setup. No proof, simply gut.

God, please give our Heroes the welcome Home to Heaven our Heroes deserve. In Jesus name. Amen.

After my shock and tears that was my first thought. Is this part of the budget cuts?

Prayers for them all, their families, the special ops teams, and all mourning their loss.

“This is simply getting rid of the hit man, so they can never tell who they killed and what went down.”

Reminds one of the Clinton years.

After Vietnam my opinion is never get in a war that you are not committed to win.

Prayers for families of the fallen.

Rest in Peace my brothers.... If you all want to support the SEAL Community and the affected families please consider support for the Naval Special Warfare Foundation. They do great things for the Community when tragedgy hits hard.

Typical mismanagement. Putting so many valuable men in the same chopper to save a few bucks

You may very well be correct. It is a sad day.

I do stand corrected. We lost about 10 Navy SEALs from SEAL Teams 1 and 10 on June 28, 2005.

That's the worst part of war, we lose the very best of the best....

I’ve never been a conspiracy theorist, but lately up is down and right is left. I no longer know what to think about anything. God bless the brave soldiers. May they rest in peace.

This is obama’s gift to the muslims for ramadan. It’s sad that there are those of us who would even suspect our president of something like this.

With DADT repealed and the mismanagement from Washington, I would not advise anyone to join the military right now.

Dead men tell no tales. My thoughts, exactly. If you never want anyone to know the truth behind the Osama killing, get rid of everyone involved. Either that, or these SEALs want it to seem like they're dead, so they (and their families) are never pursued.

“More blood on Obama’s hands!”

But it will be our guys who are tried and convicted if they try to retaliate according to husseins justice system.
