Endangering Our Military

By Semperpapa

Evening of May 1, 2011. The news outlets are ablaze with the announcement from the White House of an important message from President Obama. Speculations abound, as it has to be big for such an announcement on a Sunday evening.

Finally, about an hour later than previously announced, the President showed up to tell the Nation, with his usual smug face on, that American Special Forces had successfully conducted a raid into Pakistan and killed Osama bin Laden, taking his body out to an aircraft carrier where the remains were properly buried at sea in accordance with Islamic criteria.

America rejoiced, and understandably so. The mastermind of the 9-11-01 attacks that killed almost 3,000 innocent people and triggered the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, had met his well deserved demise.

The necessary information to even get to the point of planning such a raid was gathered via years of painstakingly collected intelligence, much of it provided by interrogations conducted at Guantanamo Bay terrorist camp and much with the help of some courageous local actors.

Immediately, as impromptu street celebrations were taking place in the streets of Washington and New York, the details of the mission started to be leaked to the outside world. It was too much of a good thing for the Obama regime not to cash in politically on it.

Suddenly, the killing of bin Laden had become the new Democrat slogan for Obama re-election. The only negative aspect of the mission was that it had to take place a year too early.

In the past 14 or so months since the mission, some more details have surfaced, including the fact that it took three “stand down” from Obama before he finally had to give the “go ahead” order. And all this, according to some recent reports, after his advisor Valerie Jarrett had convinced him to stop the mission all three times.

We can only speculate, but considering the track record and the fact that Jarrett only cares about one thing, maintaining Obama in power, it seems clear that the delays were sought in the hope that the mission could be delayed as close to re-election time as possible.

But in my mind, the euphoria of knowing that the last thing the hated bin Laden saw in life was the hardened face of a US Special Force Warrior soon left, as increasingly revealing details of the raid, the tactics and the equipment used started to appear out there all over the news.

“It was SEAL Team 6 that conducted the raid”

“It was a new classified type of helicopter that crashed”

Any minute I expected the names of the SF individuals to be revealed. And ironically, the same media that for eight years had foamed at the mouth to come up with accusations against our Military, was now losing itself in the praises for the brave warriors who executed Obama courageous plan.

Meanwhile, precious details of the unit that had accomplished the raid were placed out in the open for everyone to study, especially our enemies. Our enemy is a very cunning and capable one, especially when aided by our complete disregard for the real meaning of covert operation. Especially on the part of those more interested in gaining political advantage than to safeguard our Heroes.

It was less than 4 months after the bin Laden operation that a CH-47 loaded with Special Forces and Afghan soldiers was shot down with total loss of life, 38 men. At least 20 of the 30 American soldiers on the chopper were SEAL Team members.

Although the SF Command says that none of those who had perished had actually been part of the SEAL Team 6 who got bin Laden, we will never know the truth. At least that secret was kept, surely because it had no campaign value for Obama.

I just find it interesting that so many SF of SEAL Teams were on a chopper that was hit by the proverbial silver bullet. Could it be that the insurgents were able to put two and two together from the secret information leaked? I guess we will never know, although I do in the pit of my stomach.

In the fervor of aiding the false image of the tough president, leak after leak continued to make its way to the media and to the Hollywood bottom feeders, anxious to sing the praises of Obama and aiding his re-election efforts.

But besides the 30 Americans who died in August and who knows how many more whose safety had been compromised by the Obama leaks (after all I am not under the illusion that the men and women of the Military are nothing more than useful idiots for Obama and his anti-Military regime) there is also the story of the Pakistani doctor, Shakil Afridi, who had been instrumental in the positive identification of bin Laden at great personal risk, and who is now languishing in a Pakistani prison after his name and role was divulged by leaks.

Just another expendable collateral damage sacrificed to the altar of king Obama.

Words fail me in expressing the contempt I have toward this president and his minions: Jarrett, Axelrod, Gibson, Emanuel, Panetta, Clinton and so many more. Suffice to say that in my opinion, these four years in which this despicable administration has been in office will be historically looked at as one of the darkest period in our history. A time when racial discord, class division and national danger reached the highest level probably since the days of the Civil War.

That is if in November this poor excuse for president will be sent packing. If he gets another term, there will never be a United States of America any longer.

Just my thoughts!
