White House: Osama Bin Laden Used Wife As Human Shield
Talking Points Memo ^ | May 2, 2011 | Susan Crabtree and Ryan J. Reilly

Posted on 05/02/2011 12:57:20 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Brennan, who has spent 15 years trying to hunt down the notorious fugitive, reveled in the successful mission, which he described as "decapitating the head of the snake known as al-Qaeda" and severely weakening an already diminished organization.

"Here is Osama, living in a million-dollar compound, hiding behind women who were put in front of him as a shield," Brennan said. "It speaks to just how false his narrative has been over the year...he's putting other people out there" to wage jihad while he is secure in this luxury compound.

They are acting as tho they have to demonize the miserable bastard. He killed thousands of Americans and other civilians around the world. Guess that is not enough for the muslim in the white house.

BS. It was a hut (now burned down) bigger than the ones surrounding the property inside a high fence.

re: There’s no way this woman could not have known with whom she was sharing a bed. It is good she’s dead too!

I don't doubt that she knew who her husband was. That she had an actual choice in marrying him is another matter. There is little choice in the Muslim world for women. She was probably sold by her parents into marriage with Osama. If she had rejected him, what do you think would have happened to her?

not you but other on this thread and other threads right now

far too many people watching the msm, local news channels, the view, oprah and repeating their crap can you all please think

Human shields were his wife, er it is his frigging wife of course she would live with him
another one on another thread
it was good to give him a islamic sending off

no it is not, if obama ordered this then this needs to get out as giving a man his traditional sending off after killing thousands is indeed disgusting.

There are far too many just repeating what they have heard and not THINKING ON WHAT WAS SAID.

I have always said the left does this but now it seems it is on the right too

Brennan also said he didn’t know if OBL got a shot off.

The whole story is full of holes. A firefight with only one side firing. Fine with me. Shoot the bastard. Looks like they got him in bed. Fine with me.

He said they had a contingency to take him alive. Oh really? So if he didn’t get any shots off and probably no one inside the house was armed, why not take him alive.

Color me cynical. But these people are not to be trusted.

I really wish we could hear what the SEALS have to say about this.

They are some of the few people of integrity involved in this thing.

Add to that...

1, 2 or 3 helicopters. I would think they know.

Chopper stalled or shot down by RPGs?

Plans to take him alive or a kill mission?

Paks knew or the Paks didn't know.

They are already all over the map on this one. Not comforting.

someone said he’s probably only been there a year...he always moved around...Sounds like he didn’t have his entourage there...which gives me some doubt.

He has had more than one. Muslims men can have 4 at a time, plus “temporary” wives.

“hiding behind women who were put in front of him as a shield,”

Isn’t that what the union thugs in Madison did? Or did they use kids?
