SEALs slam Obama for using them as 'ammunition' in bid to take credit for bin Laden killing during election campaign By TOBY HARNDEN PUBLISHED: 18:35 EST, 30 April 2012 | UPDATED: 19:34 EST, 30 April 2012
Serving and former US Navy SEALs have slammed President Barack Obama for taking the credit for killing Osama bin Laden and accused him of using Special Forces operators as ‘ammunition’ for his re-election campaign.

These SEALS are a disgrace for not allowing their service be used as campaign fodder. These SEALS need to be discharged for speaking publicly. When are these rouge soldiers going to learn they are just pawns of big government and big corporate America?
Conservative Activist: More Navy SEALs to Attack Obama Joel Arends, the man behind the ad hammering the White House for “taking so much credit” on Bin Laden, believes more Special Forces operators will come out against Obama.

In the wake of a warm conservative reception for a web video trashing the president for “spiking the football” on the anniversary of Osama Bin Laden’s death, the conservative group Veterans for a Strong America plans to gather Navy SEALs and Special Forces operators to criticize the White House during the 2012 campaign. “We’re looking to [put together] a coalition, to field SEALs and operators that want to come out publicly,” executive director of Veterans for a Strong America, Joel Arends, tells BuzzFeed. “I’ve had a lot of discussions with former SEALs and current SEALs. I’ve been talking to operators in the community. There is palatable discontent.”..........................>>>>.................................>>>>................http://www.buzzfeed.com/mhastings/conservative-activist-more-navy-seals-to-attack-o
Swift Boaters worked the last time on Kerry... lets resurrect them again for Obama.
LMAO!~ Don't ya love the righteous indignation of Conservatives when they are embarrassed!
Response to the "Obama spiking the foot ball" charge... the Bushies are just jealous that their man never scored! See below:

Obama killed no one it was the well trained military that got the job done. Obama just made sure if things went wrong he had someone to blame.
Obama gave the order, and would have suffered the same fate as Jimmy Carters Desert Disaster if the mission had failed. While GWB was grandstanding on an aircraft carrier...
President Barack Hussein Obama was getting the job done:

Obama wasn't in the service... but then again... G Worst Bush wasn't REALLY in the service either!
Like it or not, just as with the Afghanistan war or the optional Iraq war... the President of the US is the commander in chief of the military. Good, bad or in between, he is in charge. He gets the glory when they succeed (Obama killing Bin Laden) and he gets the blame when they fail (GWB failing to get Bin Laden).

just to be fair can we also add Carter failing to rescue the Iran hostages and Clinton failing to get Bin Laden ('cause weren't the bush folks bitchin' about that) and Truman ending WW II and on and on and on.......................................................................................I mean just to be fair here, 'cause I agree the buck stops at the top either way.......................IMO anyone who would want that freakin' job is an idiot, and over the past few decades I seem to be proven right........

...Or FDR calling for "unconditional surrender" during WWII prolonging the Japanese surrender causing more unnecessary American and Japanese casualties.
Or Bill Clinton releasing the terrorist so that he could go on to make the plans for 911 because he didn't want to endanger his political career. Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize * Sudan offered up the terrorist and data on his network. The then-president and his advisors didn't respond.
By MANSOOR IJAZ President Clinton and his national security team ignored several opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist associates, including one as late as last year.
I know because I negotiated more than one of the opportunities.
From 1996 to 1998, I opened unofficial channels between Sudan and the Clinton administration. I met with officials in both countries, including Clinton, U.S. National Security Advisor Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger and Sudan's president and intelligence chief. President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, who wanted terrorism sanctions against Sudan lifted, offered the arrest and extradition of Bin Laden and detailed intelligence data about the global networks constructed by Egypt's Islamic Jihad, Iran's Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas.
Among those in the networks were the two hijackers who piloted commercial airliners into the World Trade Center.
