CNN is reporting 2 dozen US Navy SEALS have been killed in afghanistan after the taliban shot down a helicopter....It is the single most deadliest event in the SEALS history

Some of them were the same unit that killed Bin Laden

Ya know...not trying to be a conspiracy theorist here...since it's a tragic loss of life...but I find it highly suspect that the entire Seal Team involved in the "supposed" death of Osama Bin Laden died. Tell you the truth...I always thought the guy was dead for the past 6-7-8 years anyway. Just smells fishy to me...but then again...I don't believe one damn thing our government tells us anymore anyway. They're all liars.

 

See:

Pat Tillman murder

Operation Fast and Furious

 

just to name a few...and not to mention this whole Debt fiasco.

 

Not trying to cause a s***-storm...just my inner-doubts about anything that's presented to the public.

 

Hell...I'm still outraged that I found out a while back that people in congress are not subject to Insider Trading laws! Really?!? People go to jail for that crap...except if you work in Congress. IMO this country is going right straight down the s***ter. I'm a 2nd Amendment proponent...and proud of it. And I'll be damned if they send ATF to try and take my guns...because when the s*** hits the fan...I'll be glad I've got 'em. My credo has always been..."rather have them and not need them...then need them and not have them". I just DO NOT trust anything our government tells us...PERIOD.

That's an interesting take.

The government lying is not a good thing.

When all the newspapers finally go all online, I would suspect we'll have even fewer checks and balances on this stuff.

What news organization is going to supply the staff needed to root out corruption in government when news organizations are dying?

I just do not trust helicopters period. Those things are always crashing.

It was shot down.

This is terrible. My thoughts out to the families affected.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. officials tell The Associated Press that they believe that none of the Navy SEALs who died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan had participated in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, although they were from the same unit that carried out the bin Laden mission.

 

 

.I always thought the guy was dead for the past 6-7-8 years anyway.

 

That would mean that Bush passed on a chance to fake the death leaving the opportunity for Obama. I'm not believing that.

Just wondering why this was in the filibuster?

Two dozen? Sounds like a serious mission was going on. Tragic though.

It may have been as simple as moving them from one location to another. I was reading an article a few years back comparing moving troops to anyone's daily commute and how odds are, people will die. Just like next week in Chicago there will probably be a fatal car accident on someone's daily commute.

This.. In my experience, the only time we use Chinooks are for transport to another base within the country. I've never seen a Chinook used for a raid, its way too risky to have the entire team doing the raid riding in the same helicopter. Also Chinooks arent very stealthy and make a crap ton of noise.

Rest In Peace, Brave Warriors.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The top commander in Afghanistan says international forces killed the Taliban insurgents responsible for downing a U.S. helicopter and killing 38 U.S. and Afghan forces over the weekend.

 

Marine Corps Gen. John Allen told a Pentagon news conference Wednesday that forces learned where the insurgents had fled to and killed them in an early Monday morning air strike.

 

A separate statement to the media from Afghanistan said the strike killed Taliban leader Mullah Mohibullah and the insurgent who fired the rocket-propelled grenade that downed the Chinook helicopter.

This makes me sad.

The sad part is that, I bet, even the Taliban is sitting there and thinking that it was worth it to take out that many (elite) American forces.
