President Barack Obama surprised an emotional Vice President Joe Biden Thursday by presenting him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, during a White House ceremony.
Every time I think of Joe Biden I remember my favorite conspiracy theory.
It concerns this:
"Questions haunt the families of Extortion 17, the 2011 helicopter mission in Afghanistan that suffered the most U.S. military deaths in a single day in the war on terrorism.
The investigative file made available to The Washington Times shows that the helicopter's landing zone was not properly vetted for threats nor protected by gunships, while commanders criticized the mission as too rushed and the conventional Chinook chopper as ill-suited for a dangerous troop infiltration.
Every day, Charlie Strange, the father of one of the 30 Americans who died Aug. 6, 2011, in the flash of a rocket-propelled grenade, asks himself whether his son, Michael, was set up by someone inside the Afghan government wanting revenge on Osama bin Laden's killers - SEAL Team 6."
The Biden conspiracy connection to that one also came from the families of Seal Team 6.
"In Strange's assessment, and that of other parents present at the presser hosted by attorney Larry Klayman who is representing some of the families through Freedom Watch, such an investigation has not delved into the questions that need to be answered.
Their first point of contention is a comment made by Vice President Joe Biden that they believe "put a target" on their sons' backs. After the death of bin Laden, instead of remaining general and using terms like "special forces team" to describe the soldiers who took him out, Biden identified the team as part of the Navy SEALS."
