Seal Team Six... reporting for election duty
« on: October 27, 2012, 04:21:48 PM »
Granted, 2 days before the election really doesn't mean much, but in such a considered close election, IF the recently edited Seal Team Six documentary on the killing of Bin Laden, (produced by long time Obama supporter Harvey Weinsten) isn't a political move, then what's the problem of airing it AFTER the election?

I wonder if this answer is going to be as elusive as who denied both added security requested in Benghazi or denied military back-up when our Consulate in Benghazi was under attack?

Honestly, if the documentary showed a failed mission a la Jimmy Carter's Desert One fiasco, and you were the producer, wouldn't you be rushing to get it on before election day to embarrass Obama? Come on now, admit it.

I think for the answer to that, one might look at Congress, who controls the purse strings.

No, I wouldn't.  And that's being honest.  But to placate your hypothesis, if it was done so, then its obviously being done for political purposes, to "embarass" Carter, as you say.  So, let's admit it, and dispense with the notion that the timing isn't politically motivated, despite all the claims to the contrary

Actually, since the State Dept was sitting on billions for just such requests, the answer remains just as elusive

Can't help but notice how this one was steered cleared of as well.  Interesting

I know this is a stretch, and pretty far fetched......................but given the current occupant in the WH, and his rabid defenders, I can't help put wonder....would this administration, with the support of the MSM of course, try to push for a delay in the election, based on the repercussions of Hurricane Sandy hitting....what many would consider the heart of Obama's blue states?

Naaaaaaa.  That'd be pretty ridiculous
