FORMER NAVY SEAL REBUKES OBAMA

By Benjamin Smith

President Barack Hussein Obama – STOP using the Navy SEALS as a campaign ploy. Because with all due respect, (what little I have for you), you do NOT speak for me.

You have a movie about SEALS within the past year trying to identify with me, with the navy SEALS, and with anything that might improve your polling numbers…and yet it is all a sham to hide a weak un-American man desperate to claim the victories of others for his own.

You Sir are trying to take the credit for what the American People have achieved in killing Bin Laden. Your use of the SEALs accomplishment as a campaign slogan is nothing less than despicable. I, as a former Navy SEAL do not accept your taking credit for Osama Bin Laden’s death. The American Military accomplished that feat.

Yet now that it is useful, you Mr. President, continue to refer to the event as if it were YOU and you alone which accomplished the worthy task of slaying one of America’s greatest enemies. You say “I directed”, “I Continued”, “My Intelligence Community”, “My national security team”, “I determined that I had enough….”, “My direction…”

Yet reliable sources continue to report that not only did you attempt to stop or delay Bin Laden’s demise, you did not even leave the golf course for the situation room until 20 minutes before SEAL Team 6 took out Osama Bin Laden. Even the clothes you wore in the situation room betray this fact. This is a Commander in Chief? A man who takes credit for actions largely taken while he was out golfing?

We men who have taken the oath, say ENOUGH. You do not speak for me, a former Navy SEAL, or any one of the league of men whom I have earned the right to be among. You are simply a man running for an office. Yet you behave as a glory-hoarding ruler. You campaign to be our leader, yet in reality you wish to be our Master.

The American people are the ones who got Bin Laden… You did Not! We have fought wars and slugged it with Vast Terror Organizations to get to the man you say YOU killed. The United Sates of America has won you a title sir and you have spent the last three years trying to beg, borrow and bow as you GIVE IT ALL AWAY. You just happened to be president of the USA when WE THE PEOPLE got Osama Bin Laden. We do not see you as heroic or stoic, we see you as the guy who let America Go. We got fat and weak and you gave it all away. That is your credit – you bow to foreign leaders and pander to the press. You do not represent me as a Military Man. You do not represent me as a SEAL. You do not represent me as an AMERICAN!

You do not speak for me or any American military man because though you may now be Commander in Chief, you are not the man to whom we can point our sons and say “This is the American dream, this is American exceptionalism, this is what I wish for your future”, because you Sir are NONE of these things. You Sir, are the antithesis of American Exceptionalism. Your idols are Saul Alinksi and Karl Marx and your revolutionary dreams and anti-American ideals poison your every policy. Your every action betrays the fact that in your soul you do not understand what it is to be an American, not what America truly is. Your agenda from the beginning has been to get rid of and kill everything that is and ever was American. You who so easily dismisses America’s greatness and bows to foreigners… YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME. YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR THE NAVY SEALS. YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR THE MILITARY MAN AND you SHALL NOT claim as your prize that which you have not earned. The Navy SEALS are NOT a campaign slogan to be bantered about for play. Nor are our accomplishments, including the demise of Osama Bin Laden, yours to claim.

So you DO NOT speak for me. And I will not stand for your use and abuse of my brethren the SEALS.
For Liberty,

Benjamin Smith

Oh I'm soooo reporting this guy to attackwatch.com

I understand his anger at Obama for using a mission as personal gain, but most of that letter seems like overcharged anger directed towards unfounded right wing radio talking points like Obama loving Karl Marx.

Talking to the friends (mostly combat-Arms) that I still stay in touch with, Most of the Military leadership feels this way. I mean let's face it in that one video I have seen Clinton: what a problem it would have been for Obama had the mission failed. Not the dead Navy seals, or support crew. The military is a bastard child for the Dems. Claim all kind of praise about what they did all the while cutting budgets and doing everything to undermine it ability.

That's a Clinton problem.  Write him a letter.  Or address the entire democratic party in your letter.

This letter is directed towards Obama on a personal level.  Many of the accusations aren't backed by anything factual. 

Was Obama the POTUS when Osama was killed?
Did Obama give any kind of order to take him out? 
Should he take credit as being the president when Osama was killed? 

I don't see why those three questions and answers are negative and disrespectful to the Navy SEALS.

Disagree-It was an ad for Obama for the Dem party

This letter is directed towards Obama on a personal level.  Many of the accusations aren't backed by anything factual. 

Was Obama the POTUS when Osama was killed? Yes
Did Obama give any kind of order to take him out? Yes, but Seems like the operational control was given to a lower incase something went wrong to shield him from damage in case.
Should he take credit as being the president when Osama was killed?Not the way he is and has done, alot of I's in his speech right after the mission. 

I don't see why those three questions and answers are negative and disrespectful to the Navy SEALS.

What ad?

I don't particularly disagree with the tone or charges made towards The Pharaoh in this commentary however political leaders through history have exploited military victories that are made by other men ostensibly under their authority.  This is nothing new.  We all know that had this mission failed The Pharaoh would have passed the blame quickly and the sycophantic media would have echoed in chorus.  As much as I respect and honor the office for the good men who have held it The ONE is not a leader worthy of honor nor has he earned the respect of the military.

I disagree. Obama is hamming this up for political gain. He has indeed "spiked the football" over the Bin Laden killing. He was against everything that led to Bin Laden's demise, including the intelligence gathering. Osama was killed in spite of Obama, not because of him - and he needs to quit prancing around acting as if it's because of him.

I actually consider it good that The ONE keeps doing this; perhaps all of the otherwise rational people that voted for him can see what kind of preening, fraudulent, janus-faced, schemer and hack that he is.

I see what you’re saying, I think why most are saying to stop (just guessing) is that it is disrespectful to the military. (Politics be dammed)

[Kaos]

That makes me want to strangle small animals.

[Townhallsavoy]

Ok.  Yeah that ad was horrible.

Obama deserves some credit, because he was the POTUS when it happened. I'm sure any president that was up for re-election would use it to his advantage, to some extent. But to the extent that Obama is using it is ridiculous. He is certainly alienating voters in the military community, but then again, he probably understands that his support from that particular demographic isn't terribly strong to begin with. In other words, no real damage done, while the sheep eat it up.

You'd know.

A couple of things.

First of all:

As for Obama "spiking the football"...

I know you guys love some Daily Show, but it's relevant to the discussion. Grit your teeth and watch both videos.

So are you going to grit your teeth when you vote for Obama this fall?

Just asking.

No I won't be griting my teeth when I vote for whomever runs against him.

I'm curious, did you watch the videos?

Do you really think that Obama has "Spiked the football" after an actual "Mission Accomplished" much more flagrantly than Bush did, in retrospect, humorously early into the War on Terrorism by landing a plane onto an aircraft carrier for a televised address?
