This from a retired Navy admiral friend, a fighter pilot and
former
carrier skipper who is not given to exaggeration or
hyperbole.
this screwed up administration is killing our country AND
our troops.
Just in case you haven't seen this.
So, here is how I understand what happened in Afghanistan
On the night of the Osama Bin Laden raid, Secretary of
Defense Gates asked all the people in the
situation room to abstain from revealing that Seal Team Six
was the military unit responsible.
Everyone agreed, understanding the danger of revenge seekers
from the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
Then on Monday, Vice President Joe Biden, in an
attempt to show how much he was in the know,
revealed that it was Seal Team Six. Of course the media then
ran with it. So the Pentagon has gone to
great effort to protect Seal Team Six and their
families. As of last Thursday Gates, who is
no
longer Defense Secretary, stated that they had implemented
very advanced security measures.
As to what happened in Afghanistan, apparently Al Qaeda fed
false information to the US that a high
value target would be at a precise location on Friday. So
naturally, the military sent in
Seal
Team Six to get them. It was all a set-up and heavily armed
Al Qaeda and Taliban were waiting for them and we know
the
results.
This is not the first time that a politician has caused the
deaths of American servicemen, but it is one of the most egregious. I
guess Panetta, the current Secretary of Defense, and Gates are furious. I
think Biden should be tried for treason, but I doubt that will happen.
I just hope the American
electorate will kick these amateurs out of office.
Incidentally, all of the above is public record. Gates
has made many speeches since he left office
in which he discussed the extreme danger Seal Team Six was
under since their identity was revealed
by
Biden.
