Looks like a video is out that destroyed Jordan's claims

quote:

When Army Sgt. James Moriarity’s body came home, U.S. officials said a video of the incident in which he and two other American soldiers were killed appeared to show a deliberate terrorist attack -- not, as was first believed, a tragic accident.


quote:

The three soldiers were all Green Berets working for the CIA in Jordan, training Syrian rebels. U.S. officials say the security camera video shows several American vehicles stopped in broad daylight at the entrance to the Jordanian air field where the Green Berets were based. The first was allowed to pass through the gate, but then a guard suddenly opened fire on the second vehicle, killing both Americans inside. The Americans in the third and fourth vehicles jumped out and started returning fire. The Jordanian guard shot and killed one of them before he was wounded by the other.

At first they tried to say the green berets started it but the video surfaced. That's also when the whole story started unraveling and now we knthat Obama created, funded and trained Isis.

I've been saying this for quite some time that it was obvious that they were our guys.

I get what you're saying but saying "ally" or "with us" or "friend" and ME in the same sentence just doesn't work.

Yeah they said it was a mishap at the gate. Basically the GBs didnt stop like they should. We all knew that was BS.

Its extraordinarily safe. Things like this are difficult to predict unfortunately.

We pay Jordan to be our friend, so this is a sad and frustrating tragedy.

I'm confused on who shot the shooter. Story says he killed a third American before being shot be the "other"?

Was he shot by a Jordanian guard or the Americans from the 3rd and 4th truck?

He was shot by other GBs in the convoy and detained by Jordanian guards.

The ugly truth is they've put our people over there training the scum that is Isis. I can't imagine how our soldiers must feel about it. In fact some passively rebelled.

But you will be called a conspiracy theorist for stating what is blatantly obvious.

Every time I hear info about this I am filled with rage. All this whining about getting triggered and very few od those fricks are protesting the policy that results in deaths like these. Totally preventable. Waste of life. These are among the best men who will ever live.

My thoughts exactly. If we are not fighting to win then bring them all home. What a waste.

Somewhat offtopic, but hopefully some of you military gurus can assist: Were these Green Berets on loan to the CIA or had they resigned from the US Army and subsequently were employed by the CIA?
