Blackhawk Down Pilot Slams Obama For Ignoring Wounded At Ramstein - With Video
Retired U.S. Army Blackhawk Pilot Michael Durant lashed out at B. Hussein Obama this week for his refusal to visit wounded troops at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Ramstein Air Base in Germany recently saying:
“Over the last week, Barack Obama made time in his busy schedule to hold a rally with 200,000 Germans in Berlin, hold a press conference with French President Nicholas Sarkozy in Paris, and hold a solo press conference in front of 10 Downing Street in London. The Obama campaign had also scheduled a visit with wounded U.S. troops at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, but this stop was canceled after it became clear that campaign staff, and the traveling press corps, would not be allowed to accompany Senator Obama.
I’ve spent time at Ramstein recovering from wounds received in the service of my country, and I’m sure that Senator Obama could have made no better use of his time than to meet with our men and women in uniform there. That Barack Obama believes otherwise casts serious doubt on his judgment and calls into question his priorities.”
He appeared on Hannity & Colmes tonight, here’s the interview…
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Were there any Illinois soldiers in the ward?
Man, that would put the anti-American Obama even lower….but what’s lower than a socialist traitor?
btw, f*ck france! A country of p*ssies.

July 29th, 2008 at 6:12 pmI was wondering the same thing, Durant made her look like a dumbass though which was great.
July 29th, 2008 at 6:15 pmDid anyone notice the look in Retired U.S. Army Michael Durant
July 29th, 2008 at 6:59 pmeyes? He among many Americans aren’t going for this crap anymore. We are awake!
That hag is Susan Estridge (sp), I think she ran the campaign for Dukakis.
She’s had so much plastic surgery that she looks like a zombie, typical white female liberal hack.
July 29th, 2008 at 7:00 pmMike Durant = a good American. wish i could meet him and shake his hand.
and Im glad he is working towards getting McCain elected. we have the best people on our side in most cases.
and Susan Estrogen annoys the hell out of me
July 29th, 2008 at 8:28 pmAll I have to say is DAMN it was good to see that guy tonight. That video from 1993 has haunted me for years and years and I often wondered about Durant, but at those odd times where you can’t right just then do any research…and then the thought slips away.
Damned good to see him. He looks good, sounds good, and like American Infidel said, did you see the look in his eye?
Susan Estridge…heh heh…don’t get me started.
July 29th, 2008 at 8:51 pmI remember the photos of Mike Durant from then. I have nothing but respect for him and am so glad he has made these statements. He is a highly respected man.
Obama is the biggest sham I have ever seen. He is yet another embarassment to the State of Illinois.
As far as I am concerned he is not fit to be among our wounded men and women so it worked out for the best.
Susan whatever is an ignorant bitch. I am glad Mr. Durant slapped her smug bullshit down.
July 29th, 2008 at 8:55 pmSusan … Carol Channing called … She wants you to play her in her bi-op … Can you sing “Hello Dolly”?
P.S. … FILTERED cigarettes, Susan.
July 29th, 2008 at 9:24 pmThe real shame in this whole matter is Black Hawk down didn’t have to happen! If that POS Clinton, had only appointed a Sec Def who had a brain it wouldn’t have happened. This is a huge issue because Obama will appoint another POS to the job of Sec Def and the end result is MORE of us in the military will be KILLED because of it!
July 30th, 2008 at 2:51 amBlackhawk down-good book and pretty good movie. He does seem world weary, and tired of the way things are going. Glad he is working for Mccain. As for obama, I still think he should have gone to visit the troops, even without his adivisors. He did not know enough to say i’m grateful for your service
July 30th, 2008 at 3:28 amWhy just pick one issue when there are so many, Susan?, would have been my answer.
July 30th, 2008 at 4:04 amI am glad to see combat vets like Michael Durant are still active in political areas as well as veteran organizations in an effort to better America. Good for you Mr. Durant.
July 30th, 2008 at 4:20 ami’m pretty sure frog lady was at one point frog man
July 30th, 2008 at 4:26 amIs anyone sure the Hag is actually a female? It sounds more like a guy in drag, trying to sound like a female…
July 30th, 2008 at 5:30 amWas that Carol Channing with plastic surgery interviewing Michael Durant ? Susan Estridge is older and more frumpy looking.

Nail, meet hammer
The critical moment in that ‘93 affair came when our military needed to extract our injured and dead but had to wait till another nations peacekeeping force (Pakistan) could bring out the necessary armor. I remember weeks before that, a discussion with a friend and his lib girlfriend that the Whitehouse had kept our tanks from being sent to Mogadishu as was requested by the military because “it sends the wrong message to the rest of the world about our objectives.” Obama is the latest dem who still thinks world affairs is a beauty contest.
July 30th, 2008 at 6:46 amThat blonde haired guy at the end, what’s his husband’s name again?
July 30th, 2008 at 8:32 amI thought about Retired U.S. Army Michael Durant most of night last night.
I remembered the disdain the Clintons and their cronies had for our military which exposed itself in so many different fashions.
[1] How they treated our men and women in Armed Forces then and back in the 60’s.
[2] The Depletion of our military funds, weaponry, Air Force War planes. (My uncle use to work on them and he would rant about how the dems. removed so much funding that our Airmen were in great danger flying those planes because of the conditions they were in due to no funding for maintenance). That was when my uncle left the Democrat party.
[3] They (Dems) tried their hardest to remove our national sovereignty. They actually had kept our tanks from being sent to Mogadishu as was requested by the military because “it sends the wrong message to the rest of the world about our objectives”
rightangle
[4] I remember when Bill Clinton won the POTUS election, some of my Marine friends and family were pissed. They [all]
said “they knew they were gonna be treated like trash to be taken out.” They were all trying to figure out how to get out of our military as soon as possible because they did not want to serve under Clinton as the Commander in Chief.
[5] This could just go on and on. There were tons of disgraces the Dems and their ideology brought to our country and to our Armed Forces. I’m sure everyone here at Dollards could add to this list.
Susan Estrogen - You could hear the disdain in her voice as she spewed bile from her mouth. Did anyone notice how her voice deepened several times during her interrogating questioning of Retired U.S. Army Michael Durant? She right there in this short video shows us all why the liberal ideology cannot be in leadership of our country. They do not want to serve…They want to [BE] served. Then they belittle anyone who doesn’t want to serve them.
July 30th, 2008 at 9:30 amwhat an odd voice she has. maybe it’s because her top lip is full of botox.
July 30th, 2008 at 9:30 amis this freak licking an ashtray or what.My God I think she was once a man why is fox going with Pat!!!!!
July 30th, 2008 at 12:19 pmThe “Blackhawk Down” incident stemmed directly from Clinton himself denying the ground commander the assest he requested which included tanks as someone above mentioned as well as AC-130 “Specter” Gunships, and LAV’s.
The bitch of the whole thing is that particular mission was a success, costly but TF Ranger got the guys they were after.
The real suck is that Momar Adid’s (the main guy we were after)son is now in charge. This guy was a grunt with 7th Marines when they first pushed into Somalia.
July 30th, 2008 at 1:06 pmSusan Estrich is a well known columnist and occasionally writes with insight. Thats tobacco voice if I ever heard it.
July 30th, 2008 at 7:36 pmSUSAN ESTRICH is a well-know Dhimoid hack. She worked in several Dhimoid campaigns, including Hillary’s. She’s a total tool. I once heard her do a radio interview on Hannity’s radio show by phone and heard the distinctive flick of a BIC lighter while she was talking. That frog in her throat is from smoking. Or she could be channeling Carol Channing? Who knows. She’s annoying.
Mike Durant remains a hero, while SUSAN ESTRICH remains a complete zero in my book.
He still has problems with his back from the crash of his helicopter. And of course we all know the sacrifices of two bad-ass Delta guys on his behalf. The only thing Billy Bob did right was award those two MOH’s to their widows.
BTW it was Les “Dumbass” Aspin that made the decision to pull out Naval and Marine support for TF Ranger. Thankfully, the bitch is now burning in hell. He died a short time after Billy Bob pulled out of Somalia instead of beginning the Long War on Terror there.
No probs. We get a little payback on Somalian piglettes from time to time courtesy of the AF and SF.
Kudos to Mike Durant, TF Ranger and all the Deltas and support folks who participated. You people still rock the house.
July 30th, 2008 at 9:45 pmI provided access security for one of Warrant Officer Michael Durant’s classified briefings at Ft. Campbell. The stress of his experience definitely took it’s toll. His hair had grown considerably gray by that time. He had quite the story to tell, and he was not pleased with Klintoon’s unnecessary wag-the-dog crap in Somalia.
