Obama Politicizes The Sacrifices Of The SEALs—Again

The White House claims two ex-SEALs killed in Libya were inept security guards. The truth? They volunteered for duty and died heroes. But that doesn’t serve an Obama political purpose, now does it?

According to the Obama administration’s United Nations ambassador, Susan Rice, the two former Navy SEALs who died defending the Benghazi consulate from attack this month, Tyrone Woods, 41, and Glen Doherty, 42, were State Department employees on the consulate’s security detail when they somehow got overpowered by a mob that was enraged by an anti-Islamic film.

That’s questionable, given that the consulate endured a sustained paramilitary-style attack that left the consulate aflame, killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and diplomat Sean Smith, and ended with a desperate trail of bloody handprints across the consulate walls.

“Tragically, two of the four Americans who were killed were there providing security. That was their function,” Rice told ABC News’ Jake Tapper in an interview earlier this week.

Hold on. It now comes to light that they weren’t State Department employees and they weren’t there to protect the consulate. They bravely did it on their own.

In reality, they were two contractors working on a separate mission — with at least one tracking down missing shoulder-fired missiles, according to ABC News.

    Two retired SEALs who responded to try to save the diplomat abandoned by inept State Dept and Obama admin. They stepped up and fought. 2 men against hundreds, armed with crew served weapons. A protracted firefight. The odds were too severe, even for SEALs. The ambassador was dragged away from where these heroes were trying to shield him, tortured, raped and murdered, his body dragged through the streets.

    Someone put up a hell of a fight, scraping blood and skin off their hands onto a plaster wall. That lhorrible proof of a futile and desperate fight found its way onto Obama’s treasonous new flag as a substitute fir the thirteen stripes.

    America’s finest fighting men put up a defense rivaling that of the band at the Alamo. However, even these men were no match for a well-armed enemy aided and abetted by the unspeakable negligence and malfeasance of a clownish administration whose islamic sympathies have never been made more manifestly apparent as by this treasonous and despicable fiasco.

    I think Obama is guilty of high treason, and ought to be tried as a TRAITOR and appropriate punishment meted out. He is a communist and illegal alien. So now, we can tell our kids, even illegal aliens and commies and traitors can be elected president ???
