SEAL Team 6 Shootdown



What Happened to Seal Team 6


"Extortion 17" was the call sign for the Chinook helicopter full of 38 brave military personnel (including 17 Navy SEALS from Team 6) that was shot down August 6, 2011, in the Tanji Valley of Afghanistan.   This tragedy occurred a few short months after Osama Bin Laden was killed (May 2) by members of SEAL Team 6.  
No doubt, you remember hearing that horrifying news. But what have we heard since?  Nothing, until last Thursday, when parents of three lost SEALs and one Army National Guardsman spoke at the National Press Club and pleaded for an investigation into what went wrong.  They were joined by retired, high-ranking military officers who expressed grave concern about what is happening within the military's ranks.  
This press conference came a day after the Benghazi hearings.  I watched both in their entirety, and wept over the stories of heroism, duty and honor .... and unanswered questions.  
Below you'll find links to the press release announcing the SEAL families' press conference, and to articles about the conference which I believe fairly capture the essence of those 3 hours.  (The last link is to a story published right after the helicopter crash happened, based on official reports at the time.) 
The families spoke convincingly about research they have done to learn the truth about what breakdowns in procedure apparently occurred. And they accused, sometimes by name, high ranking members of the military for lying to them. 
Possibly most disturbing, we learned that the 7 Afghans listed on the helicopter manifest who were supposed to be flying with our troops, were pulled off the flight at the last minute, but the manifest was never changed.  The implication is that these Afghanis may have fed intelligence to the enemy about the Chinook's flight plans, and that our troops were purposely sent to their deaths in retaliation for the killing of Bin Laden. (You'll hear more about that by listening to the press conference.) 
Two members of Congress attended the press conference (Rep. Louis Gomert and Rep. Michelle Bachman), and they are working with colleagues to demand an investigation into what happened to Extortion 17.  In addition, Freedom Watch is preparing a lawsuit, which we will hear more about in the near future.  
Friends, I plead with you to watch the video of the press conference.  It is gut-wrenching, it is heart-breaking.  But this is a story that must be told and investigated.  It is unfathomable that brave members of our military would be sent to their death with malice of forethought.  And this is exactly what some are charging about Benghazi.  The fog will lift, when the public's outcry demands it. 
The press conference can be seen within the Canada Free Press article.  There are some pre-conference interviews.  The conference itself starts at the 9 minute, 27 second mark.

The National Press Club News conference http://press.org/events/navy-seal-team-vi-families

(Washington, D.C.). Three families of Navy SEAL Team VI special forces servicemen, along with one family of an Army National Guardsman, will appear at a press conference on May 9, 2013, to disclose never before revealed information about how and why their sons along with 26 others died in a fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011, just a few months after the successful raid on the compound of Osama Bin Laden that resulted in the master terrorist's death.

Accompanying the families of these dead Navy SEAL Team VI special operations servicemen will be retired military experts verifying their accounts of how and why the government is as much responsible for the deaths of their sons as is the Taliban.

The areas of inquiry at the press conference will include but not be limited to:

1. How President Obama and Vice President Biden, having disclosed on May 4, 2011, that Navy Seal Team VI carried out the successful raid on Bin Laden’s compound resulting in the master terrorist’s death, put a retaliatory target on the backs of the fallen heroes.

2. How and why high-level military officials sent these Navy SEAL Team VI heroes into battle without special operations aviation and proper air support.

3. How and why middle-level military brass carries out too many ill-prepared missions to boost their standing with top-level military brass and the Commander-in-Chief in order that they can be promoted.

4. How the military restricts special operations servicemen and others from engaging in timely return fire when fired upon by the Taliban and other terrorist groups and interests, thus jeopardizing the servicemen’s lives.


5. How and why the denial of requested pre-assault fire may have contributed to the shoot down of the Navy SEAL Team VI helicopter and the death of these special operations servicemen.


6. How Afghani forces accompanying the Navy SEAL Team VI servicemen on the helicopter were not properly vetted and how they possibly disclosed classified information to the Taliban about the mission, resulting in the shoot down of the helicopter.

7. How military brass, while prohibiting any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen Navy SEAL Team VI heroes who disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen by damning them as infidels to Allah. A video of the Muslim cleric’s “prayer” will be shown with a certified translation.  Watch the video:http://youtu.be/G968rxOjiMs

Methinks They Doth Protest Too Much

Witin minutes of President Bush's remarks concerning negotiations with terrorists, the gang of usual suspects were on the podiums, the radio shows, and the TV with rants and raves about the President's comments. Well, as my grandmother always said, "It's the scalded dog that yelps first."
The President can say whatever he likes, whenever and wherever he chooses. Thats his job. A country that has battled islamist nutjobs for 60 years and refuses to negotiate with extremists is probably the best place to remind us that the enemy we face views negotiation as a sign of weakness and has stated repeatedly they will lie to further their twisted view of religion and their ultimate goal of world domination. Why negotiate with anyone you know is lying?

The Chinook sabotage in Pennsylvania is a serious matter. Given the propensity of the nutjobs in the anti-war movement in Philadelphia to resort to violence against Americans standing up for our military, as an investigator, the first place I'd be looking is the membership rolls of the Veterans for Peace and the VVAW to see if any of these so called peace protestors work in that plant or have contacts that do. Of course, we can't rule out the isolated islamist nutjob whacko either.

Debbie Lee, mother of Marc Alan Lee, has written a scorching essay on the failure of the dhimmicrat congress to pass the funding bill for Iraq and Afghanistan. The piece is posted here, and wherever else it needs to be posted to get the message out.

Military helicopters vandalized in Pennsylvania, recruiting offices attacked in over 42 cities, funding denied for our troops, Code Pink sending 600,00.00 to the enemy. How many more treasonous acts need to occur before we stand up and say enough is enough? Spineless, gutless, Politicians who are using our troops as pawns in their political power struggle playground repulses and disgusts me. They are willing to jeopardize and put our troops in the crosshairs of the terrorists by there lack in funding our troops. They are more concerned with getting their own way and proving who is in charge of Congress instead of allowing every Senator and representative to be part of the process on the Hill. They by passed the appropriations Committee and didn't allow the Republicans to be part of a serious matter like funding our troops. I'm sure you could hear them loudly singing a very prideful rendition of "I did it my way." I'm sure the troops, including my son who gave up their lives, would love to have done it their way. They knew the attacks on our nation on 9-11 required that the right way was to fight for our freedoms and defend America. In the most unselfish act any American could give they sacrificed their own lives for the freedoms of a nation, for you, for me. They gave their tomorrows, their futures, so that we could have our today. Everyone of our brave men and women serving know that the same price could be required of them too.
What did the leadership on Capitol Hill do with their today? What gratitude did our liberal politicians show them? They yank their funding and play political suicide with the funding bill by attaching the ag amnesty bill to it. What kind of games are they playing with our the lives of our brave men and women serving? Yet they'll be the first to say they "Support our Troops." It's time for us to reclaim America and clean house from the self-centered egotistical politicians who have lost there love for America. Our Founding Father's would rise up from their graves if they could to smack some sense into these politicians to get them to remember the basic principles this nation was founded on. Certain members of Congress are acting like jealous children fighting to get the most attention. I have had it with the traitors in America who continue to do acts that are Anti-American and are destroying our Nation. It's time we hold them accountable and prosecute them for their treasonous acts. We have become a nation that is so tolerant of everything, that we stand for nothing. We have become a spineless nation with no moral compass to direct us to make wise and selfless decisions. We are so myopic and "me" focused that we can't see we are handing this nation to our enemies on a platter. It is time for us as Americans to flood the switchboards of Capitol Hill with our demands to fund our troops. Congress must prepare a clean bill with the involvement of both parties and through the proper channels. We also need to demand that strong measures be taken to arrest and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those who are committing acts of treason during a time of war by inciting lawless actions. Your today has been paid for by those who gave up their tomorrows. What will you do with your today to honor those who gave it all?
