Barack Obama’s potential SEAL Team Six scandal

May 31, 2013

  Two days after Osama bin Laden was killed Joe Biden revealed to the world that it was SEAL Team Six which carried out the successful mission. This was strange indeed because all SEAL teams operate under secrecy and the unit which carried out the mission should never have been identified.

 The elite SEAL Team Six is a special operations unit whose actions are supposed to be classified. They uphold a strict code of secrecy. As a result, it is not publicly known which specific SEAL Team Six members were involved in the killing of the world’s most wanted terrorist, nor how many of those who participated in the raid were on the helicopter that was shot down.

We now know, however, that the elite group and their families were shocked when Vice President Joe Biden publicly identified them on May 3, 2011, two days after the raid.

   This outing scared members of the team because they began to hear chatter that their lives, and the lives of their families, were in jeopardy. They were now targets of a group hell-bent on retaliation and now the families want answers.

the parents of deceased SEAL Team Six member Aaron Vaughn revealed their son’s angst following Mr. Biden’s blunder: “As soon as Joe Biden announced that it was a SEAL Team who took out Bin Laden, within 24 hours, my son called me and I rarely heard him ever sound afraid in his adult life,” said Karen Vaughn.

Mrs. Vaughn described his tone in that conversation as “extraordinarily serious.” “‘Mom, you need to wipe your social media clean. You need to get everything off of it now.’” When she asked what was wrong, he explained:  “’Mom, there is chatter and your life is in danger. Our lives are in danger. So clean it up right now.‘”

  Aaron Vaughn, along with several other members of SEAL Team Six, were killed a few short months after carrying out the Osama bin Laden mission when the helicopter they were riding in was shot down in Afghanistan. 

    At the time I found it very interesting that members of the unit which took out Osama bin Laden were killed a few months later, but nothing came of it and eventually I forgot all about it, but  more questions are coming to the surface which need to be answered.

They have many questions, including why the Afghans who were on the helicopter were not the ones on the flight manifest. Why was there a last-minute change? Did the Taliban infiltrate the helicopter?

  This is the first I have heard about the allegation that the Afghans who were scheduled to fly with SEAL Team Six were replaced by other Afghans at the last minute and it is troubling indeed, but then we learn the helicopter was not allowed to return fire even once the attack started:

were not permitted to return fire when under duress. The families believe the rules of engagement the troops are currently using serve to aid the enemy in easily killing Americans

  And there are more questions still:

They also believe the U.S. government was derelict in its duties by putting such a large group of SEALS on one aircraft. In addition, they want to know why the troops were using outdated equipment

  And then to top it all off these heroes were given a tribute  in Kabul before their bodies were flown home and this ceremony was presided over by a Muslim cleric who damned the infidels to hell:

a Muslim cleric recited a prayer over the bodies of the fallen that confined them to eternal damnation as” infidels.” This, they contend, is Mr. Obama’s “Muslim Outreach” strategy gone wildly wrong.

  It appears as if the attack on this helicopter was a well thought out and planned attack and at this point we have to wonder if these deaths were simply a result of Joe Biden’s big mouth or if there is something bigger here which I do not want to even think is possible…..

    I’ll start my comment with the first thing that comes to mind. The members of Seal Team Six who were killed in Afghanistan most certainly should not have had their ceremony presided over by a Muslim cleric who damned them as infidels. This is an outrage of the worst kind. Obama and his Muslim outreach is going to be the death of us all.

    Concerning Obama and Biden and their outing of Seal Team Six, someone needs to stuff a sock in their mouth and tie it shut. That they have so little respect for our military, or that they have so little wisdom, is infuriating.

      They were not buried in Kabul. It was the ceremony before they flew home.

        I am not privy to the information, but Steve says in his post that they were buried in Kabul. No offense to him, but I hope he is wrong about that.

      Agreed Larry, this was irresponsible at best! As far as the outreach goes, the city of Cambridge is a sanctuary city which accepts immigrants whether legal or not and we saw how that worked out with the marathon bombing. When you say Muslim outreach will be the death of us all you are not making a stretch of the imagination at all.

      There are many questions, not the least of which is why are we sending our heroes in harm’s way and not letting them defend themselves?

    I know what I believe in my mind. You must see this administration for what it is in its totality not bits and pieces. Their goal was to fundamentally transform America. You accomplish this by attacking the institutions that helped America great. Our military is one of those institutions…

      Exactly right John, I hate to think he is trying to go after the military but when you look at ROE which make a dangerous situation even worse, stand down orders, and the removal of several high ranking officers you can come to no other conclusion.

    There seems to be a pattern here, Fort Hood – work place violence, Benghazi – a video Marines holding umbrellas or getting a handshake instead of a salute. I’m sorry but its time to stop feeding our sons and daughters to this muslim loving president. As any muslim will tell you once a muslim always a muslim.

    WHY do are military leaders not have Obama arrested? or at least speak out about the disrespect? I know they take an oath and aren’t allowed to speak against their chief, but it’s suppose to be about the people of this country!
