Title: REVENGE: SEALS WHO GOT OSAMA KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN

The Associated Press has learned that more than 20 Navy SEALs from the unit that killed Osama bin Laden were among those lost in the helicopter crash.

The operators from SEAL Team Six were flown by a crew of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. That's according to one current and one former U.S. official. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because families are still being notified of the loss of their loved ones.

One source says the team was thought to include 22 SEALs, three Air Force air controllers, seven Afghan Army troops, a dog and his handler, and a civilian interpreter, plus the helicopter crew.

The sources thought this was the largest single loss of life ever for SEAL Team Six, known as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group.

The Taliban claimed they downed the helicopter with rocket fire while it was taking part in a raid on a house where insurgents were gathered in the province of Wardak late Friday. It said wreckage of the craft was strewn at the scene.

NATO confirmed the overnight crash took place and that there “was enemy activity in the area.” But it said it was still investigating the cause and conducting a recovery operation at the site. It did not release details or casualty figures.

“We are in the process of accessing the facts,” said U.S. Air Force Capt. Justin Brockhoff, a NATO spokesman.

But a senior U.S. administration official in Washington said it was apparently shot down by insurgents. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the crash is still being investigated.

If true,it will be the largest loss of life for the SEALS since they were first organized. I THINK they only had one or two SEALS KIA in VN. I doubt there has been a total of 20 SEALS killed in action since Day One.

Maybe Obama had someone put a bomb in their helicopter. That way he could claim the seal who "killed" Osama has died.

When will this bullshit every end?

When the defense industry stops making profits from wars,and when politicians quit worrying about losing defense related jobs and votes in their districts.

agreed, as always, it's all about the money. The gutless pricks who start these shit wars and their privileged offspring should be the first to go to any war.

This shit would stop immediately if the cowards themselves had to fight.

Previously, the deadliest day for the American military in Afghanistan was June 28, 2005, when 16 Navy SEALs and Army Special Operations troops were killed when their helicopter was shot down and three more Seals were killed on the ground, notes the Associated Press. McClatchy points out that the last time “the U.S. military suffered such catastrophic losses” was in January 2005, when 30 troops were killed in a helicopter crash in Iraq and six others died on the ground across the country.

Ok,that still doesn't add up to 20.

Pete is really good at cutting through the bullsh*t...and distilling it into its elementary fecal matter.

I think what he's saying is....NEVER will the bullsh*t ever end.

Ok, Brian - this is your SECOND post on the very same subject matter.

But thank you for a story that needs scrutiny.

You just now noticed that? WOW...you are definitely on top of things. LOL

Further, this article contained info on Seal Team 6 that my first post didn't.

Will post another if new information come to light.
