Scoring -- hate President Obama trying to score political points off Osama bin Laden's death by using ads like this.
The -- I would have been horrible thing.
But he reasoned and cannot in good conscience do nothing.
Took the harder.
Then the more honorable thing.
Well those ads -- frustrating former members of our armed forces one retired special ops officer wrote.
A letter to the White House saying some of this has -- a special forces veteran and his survivor of the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon.
Was frustrating -- disappointing to me that your reelection campaign used to bin Laden raid.
As the basis for divisive and partisan net was awful mistake to make -- said but you can corrected by ordering it to be removed journey right now.
Live from Washington this morning the man who wrote it retired special ops officer 9/11 survivor major David King.
Major -- you service.
I -- brought here by the Tony you're -- you're outraged you took some action what was the reaction.
There was there was no real reaction other than a form letter that I received that that pelted the the White House's.
Everything except their their military and intelligence.
Capabilities.
The -- sent back to me a form letter that that was pretty much -- reelection.
Letter.
You're kidding and fact we have an -- devastated -- is it's is -- David.
Thank you for writing each day I here for concerned men and women who -- struggling in this economy there's George encouraged me to continue working to ensure that all Americans find good jobs.
So has nothing to do with you concern and doesn't address what you birdie given to the country.
Though though -- this is that it's another example of either the arrogance or ignorance of the White House towards the the military and intelligence community.
That that they're just not even gonna dress that -- Tellme back -- We're really busy here we'll get back to you later they didn't even bother doing that.
Major a lot of people -- right now saying hey he did make the tough decision why can't -- like any talk about it.
Well well why can't he talk about me had -- had President Clinton do the narration on that on that video and you know we gotta admit President Clinton he's as smooth as lime jello and he he comes across he can sell any thing.
Then that whole that whole narration that went on and it it.
Was -- -- -- the hard decision that the White House made bad.
Yes they made a decision and they went in but.
He's willing to take the were not take credit for any of the economic failures that have happened the past several years -- -- -- to jump on board with the credit for all the hard work that the military.
The intelligence community is gone.
A lot of people think it's spiking the football is is is fomenting more unrest in places like north after -- where al-Qaeda exists.
And they're talking about revenge we we think should happen with the movie when it comes out in November.
-- God that's one of them one of the issues that that the organization -- working with the upset dishonorable.
Disclosures.
This is one of the problems we have there's a lot of intelligence that was released to help make this movie.
And it shows that there's a date lack of of knowledge of how to handle intelligence.
Within the White House.
Then you don't seem like a guy who's -- knuckle under I think the fight's gonna go on from your perspective.
What -- and -- -- come back.
I -- thanks so much for joining us this morning major David King hoping for better response from the White House when that he -- we reach out to the white asked by the way for comment.
On the story but they did not respond.
