President Biden on Monday mourned the loss of two Navy SEALs who are presumed dead after they went missing off the coast of Somalia earlier this month during a special covert mission to seize Iranian missile parts bound for Yemen.

Biden said in a statement that the presumed deaths of the two SEALs were a “profound loss for our country.”

“These SEALs represented the very best of our country, pledging their lives to protect their fellow Americans,” Biden said. “Our hearts go out to the family members, loved ones, friends, and shipmates who are grieving for these two brave Americans

Biden isn’t in charge, he probably didn’t even know there was an intercept operation.

They were protecting freedom and democracy in Somalia.

Our resident expert Matt Braken says aloud what many believe - this is a cover story. Those guys would have emergency inflatable float devices and beacons to aid in recovery.

They died in a firefight or attack (suicide vest perhaps) and Biden’s admin is covering it up.

Praying also. Does anyone know how close they were to land? Maybe they were taken as prisoners, which this lying administration wouldn’t know and even if they did would keep it secret.

The story makes no sense.
We have what was seized from the dhow.
Did two SEALs fall in and the remaining personnel just left?
Numerous holes…

“”Did he bring up his dead son Beau””

That was my first thought - LOL. I wouldn’t have been surprised if he’d “recalled” when Beau was a SEAL....

Who knows what goes on in that demented fool’s mind right now. The only thing one can reasonably say is that he’s an inveterate, arrogant disgusting liar politician who never worked a real job in his life, as well as some kind of sexual deviant with respect to little girls, IMO.

“”high risk night mission,””

So much like the crew of the Blackhawk that went down in the Mediterranean on 11/10/23. That was definitely a ‘high risk night mission” also - refueling.... I’ve had to search and search for information about recovering that crew and finally found something at the end of December. The Navy and a salvage team recovered the remains of three - two had been recovered immediately after the crash. WHY was this never covered on the news? I believe one or two may have been sent to Dover earlier but I can’t find anything on that either. What I found was in the USNI NEWS published on 12/21/23 but nothing about sending the bodies to Dover after recovery. So much garbage is covered day after day but something like this doesn’t get covered?

One of them, maybe both, were Beau.

When SpecOps teams go missing during a "training accident," the odds are high that some politically sketchy operation pushed by the State Department went sideways.

They are just as dead, and you can bet the politicals sleep well.
