Geller, American Thinker: Afghan Helicopter Attack, Obama’s fault

Photos of the Fallen: Americans shot down in Afghanistan

Islamic supremacists set up and shot down a U.S. military helicopter during fighting in eastern Afghanistan, killing 30 Americans, most of them belonging to the same elite Navy SEALs unit that killed Osama bin Laden.

Read my piece at American Thinker:

Afghan Helicopter Attack is Obama's Fault Pamela Geller, The American Thinker

It came to light Monday that the thirty elite American troops who were killed when their helicopter was attacked in Afghanistan were lured into a trap by the Taliban.

An Afghan official said, "Now it's confirmed that the helicopter was shot down and it was a trap that was set by a Taliban commander.  The Taliban knew which route the helicopter would take."

How did the Taliban know?  Who tipped off the Taliban?  And who supplied the Taliban with the surface-to-air armaments?

I blame the president.

I believe the loose lips of this reckless, incompetent fraud cost this group of elite Navy SEALs their lives.  So obsessed was this poseur with taking credit for something that he didn't have the stomach for (and didn't want) that he ensured a U.S. sacrifice of incalculable proportions.

There were Navy SEALs from SEAL Team Six, the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden, among those who were lost in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.  Back in May, Defense Secretary Gates said that releasing information about the raid in which Osama bin Laden was killed would threaten the safety of the Navy SEALs who were involved in that operation and their families.  They would become targets for jihad terrorists.

So why was this information released?  Why did the Obama administration leak and name this SEAL team?

We should not have been told.  Obama should have released the pictures of that jihadist monster and moved on.  Instead, he gave him a proper Islamic burial and held back on proof for fear on insulting Islam.

Was this payback for Leon Panetta's revelation that the Navy SEALs, not the president, made the decision to kill Osama bin Laden?  Who is taking revenge?  The ISI?

These are the questions that must be asked and answered by the Obama administration.  But do not expect him to do it.  I revealed the truth about this socialist internationalist in my book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America.  Everything he has done since he has become President has confirmed how right I was about him.

In a characteristic move, Obama has banned the media from the return of the remains of these Navy SEALs to the U.S.  Clearly, the visual of a parade of coffins, the images of the worst day in recent U.S. history, would not be an opportune Obama photo-op.  Cold-blooded calculation.

And do not expect the press, whose job it is, to get to the truth of this matter.  The mainstream media is nothing more than an activist propaganda machine that is actively working against the American people.  It is the enemy's number-one arsenal in its war on America.

It is all but surrender, my friends, all but surrender.

The loss of these extraordinary warriors cannot be described.  The pain and suffering are beyond mere words.  Weep for the loss for the families and for our great and noble country.

 There is much more. Read the rest here.

To give more credence to Pamela’s strong assertions (which I fully agree with)see this POLITICO Article that has just been released entitled:
“Peter King on Osama bin Laden movie: ‘I hit a sensitive nerve'”
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/61093.html
Pamela might also post this as well today. I spent nearly 30 years in the government security world and there is nothing more important than protecting a highly sensitive operation like this and the people involved.

Photos of the arrival in the U.S. of the remains of these brave men were banned by the White House and the Pentagon… but guess what? The Pentagon says it “forgot” (how convenient for the White Mosque…err, House!!!) that there would be a White House press photographer present (there always is, “just in case” a photo-op or a “crisis” presents itself for The One) and… a picture of Him Who Walks on Water saluting (he was the only one of the group doing so) was released!!!
There is no end to the self-serving of NoBama and his minions!!! Had Bush done this the LameStreamMedia would have been all over it!
…and BTW: Who “leaked” the info that Seal Team 6 members were aboard that helicopter? Payback/Apology to Muslims terrosists for the hit on Bin Laden???

Lest I forget: “…With Obama, everything for him is about him…” as a poster on another site so eloquently put it.

I should like to point out that we have only the government’s word that the men who died in this crash were not involved in the raid on bin Laden. Since we do not know the names of the men who were actually involved in that raid–understandably for their own safety–how do we know that these were not the same men? It’s obvious that the Taliban wanted to hit Seal Team Six because of their successful elimination of the world’s most hated man, but there are still many questions about that raid that the Obama administration has done its best to squelch. This attack included several irregularities in regards to the way the Seals operate. How do we know these aren’t men that simply knew too much? I trust Obama as far as I can throw their helicopter!!! Maybe Jesse Ventura should look into this.
