A U.S. Marine perched on a container tries to take cover from the dust as a Chinook helicopter arrives to pick up supplies at Forward Operating Base Edi in the Helmand Province of southern Afghanistan in June.
The operators from SEAL Team Six were flown by a crew of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. That's according to one current and one former U.S. official. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because families are still being notified of the loss of their loved ones.
One source says the team was thought to include 22 SEALs, three Air Force air controllers, seven Afghan Army troops, a dog and his handler, and a civilian interpreter, plus the helicopter crew.
The sources thought this was the largest single loss of life ever for SEAL Team Six, known as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group.
Doesn't matter if they sent 4 bills or 40 bills since all that matters is just one bill, the jobs bill. I would respectfully disagree. The Senate's job is to take the matter up for vote, make changes if necessary, send it back and then get it in front of the POTUS.
Instead Reid bury's them in his desk.
As far as your point re a budge I believe you are incorrect.. the legislatures ONLY constitutional obligation is to pass a budget. |
