Were our US Navy SEALs Betrayed by Biden?


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 with  the slaughter of the guys from Seal Team Six.

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.
