Second pilot rescued!!!!!

[Lisa558]

Tons of online chatter about this being a failed mission to get uranium vs a pilot recovery mission. I did think it was weird that they sent a giant C-130 to pick up a single pilot instead of just a blackhawk. Who knows?

Wow! Are leftists now so pro-Islamic Iran and anti-America that they’re helping advance propaganda to make America look bad?!

These traitors to America get worse by the day.

Break your ankle - and then try to walk. With or without army boots.

I broke my foot during SF selection and I walked 25miles with a full ruck.

Course when I took off my boot for the first time my foot swelled so much I couldn't put my boot back on

ONCE MORE

Ambassador Stevens twice said no to military offers of more security, U.S. officials say


For the first time, the report (SENATE) also points at Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed in the attack. It says that the State Department ended a deal with the military to have a special operations team provide extra security in Libya, and that Stevens twice refused an offer to reinstate the team in the weeks before the Sept. 11, 2012, attack.

Benghazi attack was preventable, reports Senate

A report released Wednesday painted a picture of shared blame across government agencies for the Benghazi attack that left four Americans dead. Senators criticized the Obama Administration for failing to hold those accountable responsible.

Family Stance on Politics: Sister Anne Stevens stated that using her brother’s death as a political point (specifically targeting Hillary Clinton) was inappropriate, arguing instead that Congress should have increased security funding.

• Brother's Passion: The family emphasized that Chris loved his work in North Africa and the Middle East and was aware of the risks involved in his mission.

Chris Stevens’s Family: Don’t Blame Hillary Clinton for Benghazi​

And you actually believe that nonsense?

You cannot convince me that this fake story is real, especially when I spent 7 months in Mogadishu in 93' and saw first hand the careless acts of Bill & Hillary Clinton's administration. They fired the Secretary of Defense because he refused to give us armored vehicles when we requested them that Summer, with led to all of the deaths on October 3rd 1993 during the battle of Mogadishu, better known as Blackhawk Down.

Sure, you can trust Bill and Hillary when they say that Bill never had sex with that woman and he tried smoking grass but he never inhaled.

 

[TNHarley]

That is good news.
The situation should have never happened in the first place.

 

[SweetTea]

And Leftists cry.

Becuase they are just BAD.

Many of them were secretly hoping for a hostage situation for political reasons. Anything goes when it comes to getting Trump...anything.

Docs show Amb. Stevens asked for more security​

And again....

"Before the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, the U.S. mission had made "repeated requests" for more security at the compound.

According to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform those requests by U.S. mission in Libya were denied by "officials in Washington."

The revelation comes in a letter sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from Republican committee member Rep. Jason Chaffetz and the Republican chair Rep. Darrell Issa.

"Based on information provided to the committee by individuals with direct knowledge of the events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador's life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to Sept. 11, 2012," the lawmakers write. "It was clearly never, as administration officials once insisted, the result of a popular protest."

The defense industry had initially applauded Aspin’s selection because he favored maintaining a strong military-industrial base. Nonetheless, Aspin voiced skepticism over the Strategic Defense Initiative, launched by President Ronald Reagan, and favored cutbacks in the size of the military, including U.S. troops in Europe. Aspin also favored using U.S. troops in regional conflicts — a policy opposed by Gen. Colin Powell, then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In September, Aspin turned down a request from Powell for tanks and gunships to aid U.S. forces on a peacekeeping mission in Somalia. Soon afterward, rebels killed 18 U.S. troops and shot down three U.S. helicopters in Mogadishu, the Somalian capital. In the face of harsh congressional and media criticism, Aspin admitted that, in view of what happened, he had erred.




WOW, BJ BILL TOOK RESPONSIBILITY AND FIRED SOMEONE WHO WOULDN'T PROTECT US TROOPS? WISH CHEETO WOULD DO THAT

Believe that Stevens turned down the offer from the General, TWICE for extra security or not, as I linked to the Senate report

I didn't make it in combat - only 2-3 km. because I factually did break my ankle.
And I was at the time 20 years old (fit like Tarzan) in a SF unit - and not as this Colonel 45-55? in the air-force.

You jerks think you can get away with blaming Trump for every decision one of his cabinet members make.....but you refuse to blame Clinton, Obama, or Biden for the mistakes that their cabinet members make.

Blackhawk Down happened because of the negligence of Clinton and his policies.
Obama armed ISIS because of his criminal negligence in Iraq.
Biden armed Iran and the Taliban with his criminal negligence in Afghanistan.
Benghazi happened because Hillary and Obama dropped the ball on security in Libya and refused to send rescue teams to get the CIA out of Benghazi. Choosing to let them die to cover up their surface to air missile sales.
The rumor has it that Bin Laden wasn't killed in Pakistan. That they killed a double instead and the Iranians were blackmailing Obama. This is why he agreed to let them keep their nuke program, even sending them blackmail money. Planes filled with pallets of cash to keep them quiet about the surface to air missiles with American serial numbers that hit choppers in Afghanistan. But Obama used the Bin Laden takedown as claim that he was a foreign policy genius.
They gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize even though he started 6 wars and murdered hundreds of people attending a wedding as well as targeting Americans over seas. They gave Obama 2 Grammys for Best Spoken Word award.

It doesn't take intelligence to be a wise guy smart-ass who criticizes everything you do.

It does take intelligence to figure out solutions to problems and act on them properly.

I really don't think I need to take advice from a Brit who has way too many of his own problems dealing with the Muslim takeover in his own country.

You do need a lesson in manners when you use racist pejoratives like this because you are unable to express yourself otherwise.

Your circular arguments are not impressive.


And your false claims of racism are duly noted.

FYI, I am over 75% English....so how can I be a racist against my own origins?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You could be right. I was just quoting from a report I’d read.

But early signs are that it involved hundreds of the most fearsome troops in the US military, including Navy Seals, Delta Force operators and Pararescuemen from the 24th Special Tactics Squadron.​

Probably true, but those are Special Ops, not Special Forces, except Deltas. I was a role-player at a MOUT site against all of them during the wars. The Air Force PJs made the most progress during my time there. When they first started out, their people couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with their weapons. Later on, they were just as capable as any others.

IDF intelligence, strikes helped US rescue downed pilot, sources told the 'Post'.
Throughout the tense 48-hour window, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and US Central Command Commander Admiral Brad Cooper remained in direct contact.
By Amichai Stein.
April 5, 2026.
the IDF, acting in cooperation with US forces, launched a series of strikes against Iranian targets. These strikes were strategically designed to act as a diversion, drawing Iranian security forces away from the crash site and toward other areas.

In addition to the diversionary tactics, the IDF targeted specific Iranian assets with the intent to sabotage and disrupt Tehran’s race toward the pilots, blinding the Iranian military partially to the pilots’ location while the extraction team moved in.

I know, anybody that doesn't follow the right wing, racist, MAGA agenda is a communist. Most of you weak ass clowns wouldn't know a communist if they kicked you in the ass.

the left has been overtaken by socialists and communists that believe in seizing the means of production and eliminating borders ..

 

[Zincwarrior]

seizing the means of production

Well, that phrase is certainly an oldie but a goodie. Didn't the Trump admin just do that with Venezuela's oil?
