Ex-SEAL who killed bin Laden blasts Biden, calls on Gen. Milley to resign
NY Post ^ | August 17, 2021 10:12am | By Yaron Steinbuch

​Robert O’Neill, the SEAL member who killed Osama bin Laden during a raid on the terrorist’s Pakistan lair in 2011​, called President Biden a “disaster” and ​urged Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to resign over the catastrophe caused by the US military pullout in Afghanistan.

“So, @POTUS is a disaster,” the former SEAL said on Twitter. “This is the worst loss in American history. Our most popular president has vanished. Prove me wrong.”

He added: “Joe Biden opposed the raid to kill bin Laden. At least he lost Afghanistan in 7 months.”

O’Neill also ​had Milley​ in his crosshairs​.

“There are Afghans falling to their deaths off of our retreating aircraft. Has @thejointstaff resigned yet?” he wrote.

Following up in a later tweet, O’Neill pressed: “Not yet. Just checking.”

O’Neill was joined by retired SEAL Derrick Van Orden in calling for top administration officials to step down.

“You’ve got Secretary Blinken and Secretary Austin – they need to tender their resignations right now. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Milley, he needs to go peel potatoes in the galley for about a month and then resign also​,” ​Van Orden said on “Fox & Friends” Monday, referring to the secretaries of state and defense.

​”​These folks’ primary duty is to advise the president of the United States on diplomatic and military matters and they’ve abjectly failed that. The national security architecture of the United States of America is clearly broken right now​,” said Van Orden, who’s running for a congressional seat in Wisconsin.

I, not being raised under Bushido, do not blame Milley for not committing Seppuku.

However, the failure to RESIGN 48 hours ago bespeaks such an utter absence of HONOR that it makes me despair for our future.

An illegal junta has taken over our federal government. They are destroying the nation.

Do you really believe he’s the one who killed Bin Laden who’s buried at sea without any proof?

The Taliban government is more legitimate than the US government.

I have no idea.

I posted about Milley resigning as an acceptable alternative to suicide.

My post had nothing to do with Bin Laden's mode of exit or funeral arrangements. Maybe you were posting to someone else?

It’s more like than Biden will give Gen. Milley a fifth star than Milley will resign.

Milley was unaware of this tragedy, until he read it in the newspaper.

I’m pretty sure I can one-up that dubious statement.

He should have been arrested Saturday night and shot immediately afterwards.

This illegal, incompetent regime must RESIGN.
“Milley was unaware of this tragedy“
This is unacceptable!
Miley needs to resign with them.
We need to hold a new election with everyone going to the polls, showing ID and no mail in balloting.

The guy probably has no clue who he killed--probably a poor Pakistani who was in the wrong place at the wrong time...welcome to the military...

an utter absence of HONOR

Honor has nothing to do with it. The ruling elite are not interested in honor. It's all about money, power, money, prestige, and money.

Gen. Milley should report to sick call for his white guilt disease.
