The Navy SEAL who ended Osama bin Laden's life clubbed Hillary Clinton this morning for recounting the raid in speeches she used to line her pockets.
Robert O'Neill, the SEAL who controversially revealed his role in the raid and now serves as a paid Fox News contributor, said he went on the mission for the same reason he came forward with his story - to help the 9/11 families find closure.
'She's taking some credit and she's raising money because of it,' he said of the former secretary of state. 'I don't want to take away from the part she had, but we didn't kill Osama bin Laden because of Hillary Clinton.'
O'Neill says he's 'never met' Clinton to this day - she wasn't part of a ceremony to thank the SEALs for their service after the 2011 raid.

Stolen emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's account revealed audio of Clinton talking about the bin Laden take down in a 2013 speech to a Toronto business group.
'I was in the small group that recommended to the president that he go after bin Laden,' Clinton says.
The ex-cabinet secretary proceeded to provide an account of the hunt for the 9/11 mastermind that mismatches other reported information, according to the New York Post.
'The amount of work that was required to get a strong-enough basis of information on which to plan took more than a decade . . . and then all of a sudden putting this matrix together and saying, "This guy used to protect bin Laden — he has just made a phone call. He said this in the phone call. We need to figure out where he is. Then we need to follow him." '
Clinton had said prior to the Wikileaks dump of Podesta's emails that she was frequently asked about the raid in private settings.
'People are really interested in what you see and what you understand about the world,' she said on an April episode of Good Morning America.

The Democratic presidential candidate refused to release the transcripts of her Wall Street speeches and other paid remarks as she tangled with Bernie Sanders in the primary.
He worried that she was promising potential donors one thing and saying something else entirely in public. Clinton told the GMA hosts that she was most commonly asked to talk about the night bin Laden died.
Clinton routinely talks about that evening on the campaign trail, emphasizing her go-vote in the Situation Room as President Barack Obama considered his options.
She used it to bash Donald Trump on Monday, at a Columbus, Ohio, rally, claiming, 'On the day that I was in the Situation Room watching the raid that brought Osama bin Laden to justice, he was hosting Celebrity Apprentice.
'So if he wants to talk about what we have been doing the last 30 years, bring it on.'
At an Iowa rally during the primary she asserted, 'I was one of those who recommended the president launch what was a very risky raid.

She talks about the famous picture of her in the Situation Room with Obama that night and other national security advisers to the president. 'The one room she wasn't in is when they came to thank us. We never heard a word from Hillary Clinton,' he stated

'It was one of the most tense days of my life sitting there. For some of it we had the video but once they were inside we had no video just an audio connection … And some of you who have followed this may know one of the helicopters hit the tail going into the courtyard and got disabled...because of the incredibly careful planning we didn’t leave anybody behind.'
President Obama has praised her in campaign speeches, as well, for her role in the raid.
He said just yesterday, at a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, 'As a First Lady, as a senator, as my Secretary of State, she knows what it means. She knows what it takes. I’ve seen her intelligence and judgment and temperament and her discipline.
'I saw her in the Situation Room, where she argued for the bin Laden mission,' he stated.
At the Democratic National Convention Obama passionately stated that 'as secretary of State, she sat with me in the Situation Room and forcefully argued in favor of the mission that took out Bin Laden.'
Obama went on to say that Clinton 'has been in the room; she’s been part of those decisions. She knows what’s at stake.
'And that’s why I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman -- not me, not Bill, nobody -- more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America. '

O'Neill said today and Fox and Friends he wishes that Clinton would spend less time on her role in the mission and more time talking about the specialists who conducted the raid.
'As opposed to trying to raise capital for a campaign or get elected based on her national security because of the bin Laden raid,' he said, 'I would much rather see her...mention why we did it, or the pilots that brought us there or the analysts that found him.'
The retired Navyman said, 'We didn't go for someone to win an office. We went for the secretary that jumped out of the 90th floor of the trade towers on a Tuesday morning.
'We went for the first responders that went into the Pentagon.'
O'Neill said he did the special on Fox News for the 9/11 families, and they tell him 'pretty much every single day' that it 'helps with the healing process.'
'I wouldn't have done it for political gain,' he asserted.
She talks about the famous picture of her in the Situation Room with Obama that night and other national security advisers to the president.
'The one room she wasn't in is when they came to thank us. We never heard a word from Hillary Clinton,' he stated.
Host Steve Doocy was surprised. 'Really?' he asked.
'Never met her,' said O'Neill.

What a Toilet. And I ain't talkin' 'bout the Seal.

I guarantee you one thing, if the mission failed... you cowards would be blaming Hillary Clinton for sure. Just like Benghazi.

 

[Dave007inVegas]

Clinton's involvement in the Bin Laden take down is like
her landing in Bosnia, pure fiction.

No doubt. And while everyone is grateful for the seals killing bin laden....fact is those go orders are given by the president and his administration. So as much as the new Fox News contributor wants to down play everybody else's role but his own.....the facts are what they are.
