As\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/susan-rice-trump-putin-troops-afghanistan-601c8be7-8fd7-4b82-abb9-70e268731234.html\">reported by Axios<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Former national security adviser Susan Rice says President Trump sided with Russian President Vladimir Putin following news that Russia allegedly offered bounties for those who targeted American soldiers in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Rice said on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/video\/trump-did-nothing-susan-rice-on-russian-bounty-intelligence-87051845646\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Meet the Press<\/a>&#8221; Sunday:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And now we learn that even when it comes to the blood of American service members, this president picks Putin over our troops.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This was, as Trump says, fake news. The Russians have little money to throw around and the Taliban is trying to kill our troops anyway, for free, troops Trump is bringing home. Yet the woman who went on five talk shows to spread the lie that an Internet video got four Americans killed, including a U.S. Ambassador, at a Benghazi compound that Obama\/Biden\/Rice left unprotected, has the chutzpah to express concern about the safety of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, she has said that she wants to see Joe Biden elected and would willingly be his VP. She would be Biden\u2019s Rasputin, pulling his strings, completing the fundamental transformation of America begun by Obama. So she ignores Biden\u2019s culpability for Benghazi, as she ignores her own, and ignores Biden\u2019s key role in getting Navy Seal Team 6, the unit that killed Bin Laden, slaughtered in a revenge ambush in Afghanistan.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Biden is not above exploiting the sacrifice of our young men and women who put themselves in harm\u2019s way on our behalf.

The terse and proper response was: &#8220;Not going to comment on units or numbers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then on May 3, Vice President Joe Biden got up to speak at a dinner at Washington&#8217;s Ritz Carlton Hotel marking the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council to spill the beans about Adm.

Like Hillary Clinton at Benghazi, he put lives in jeopardy and got men killed.<\/p>\n<p>The deaths of more than 20 Navy SEALs from the unit that took out Osama bin Laden is connected to a loose-lipped vice president who\u00a0sometimes likes to pose\u00a0as a presidential action figure.<\/p>\n<p>To be a politician takes more chutzpah than courage. The chattering class, as the mainstream media is sometimes called, were more worried about how the successful Bin Laden raid by Navy SEALs\u00a0 might affect President Obama\u2019s reelection chances in 2012. So did administration officials, as the leaks and chest-thumping began almost immediately.<\/p>\n<p>SEAL missions depend\u00a0on bravery, courage, skill, daring &#8212; and secrecy. Initially, when President Barack Obama announced that \u201ca small team of Americans\u201d had killed Osama bin Laden, he did not identify that it was the SEALs.<\/p>\n<p>Karen Vaughn, the mother of slain SEAL Aaron Vaughn,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2013\/jun\/7\/the-betrayal-of-the-navys-seal-team-6\/\">blames Joe Biden for her son\u2019s ambush and death<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On May 3, at an event in Washington, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. did the unthinkable: He publicly revealed the identity of the special-operations unit responsible for bin Laden\u2019s killing. His reckless action put at risk the lives of every member of SEAL Team 6. The Taliban and other jihadists eager to avenge bin Laden now knew which unit to target. Stunned and shocked, SEAL members immediately realized they were going to be hunted by al Qaeda sympathizers.<\/p>\n<p>Karen Vaughn, the mother of slain SEAL Aaron Vaughn, says that within hours after Mr. Biden\u2019s comments, her son called to tell her to wipe away every piece of information regarding the family on social media, Facebook and Twitter. \u201cI never heard Aaron that afraid in his life,\u201d Mrs. Vaughn said in an interview. \u201cHe told me: \u2018Mom, we\u2019re picking up chatter. We\u2019re not safe. You\u2019re not safe. Delete everything.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Mrs. Vaughn, Mr. Biden essentially placed a bull\u2019s-eye on her son\u2019s back &#8212; and that of all the other SEALs. He leaked classified information. SEAL Team 6 is a covert unit, which is supposed to operate in the shadows. This is how they are able to conduct deadly raids on terrorist groups. Their reward, however, for killing the world\u2019s foremost terrorist mastermind was to be outed by their own government.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tXMmShefEhI\">damning video speech<\/a>, Charles Strange, the father of Navy SEAL Michael Strange, also lays the ambush of Extortion 17 right at the feet of Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>The RPG that felled the SEALs could have just been a random act of war. The Taliban could have just gotten lucky. Or they could have been plotting and waiting for revenge, looking for helicopters that might be carrying more SEALs on another mission, a big bullseye painted on their backs by a vice president who forgot\u00a0that loose lips can sink ships, and\u00a0can get Navy SEALs killed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Biden, Susan Rice, and Seal Team 6 Benghazi liar and former U.N. ambassador Susan Rice has seemingly risen to the top of Joe Biden\u2019s VP list, which would make a unique pairing of someone who can\u2019t tell the truth and someone who can\u2019t remember the truth.
