True, the Israelis work that way but there’s always a raghead who will take up the assassinated leaders’ position.

The seals supposedly said that the target appeared briefly at a window. If he had been tipped, he would not have been in the compound.

True, there is so far no indication that they were tipped off.

This story is absolute bull$hiite and disinformation. Propaganda. Where are the announcements for dead SEALS?

Thanks for pointing that out.

This story is absolute bull$hiite and disinformation. Propaganda.

Pretty much my opinion also.

The "facts" should start to trickle out in a couple of months.

Wrong. You're the bystander. I've seen more combat than most, including nearly a year in the hospital recovering from wounds.

I have also served alongside the SEALs years ago. I saw their training and their weaponry and I saw their abject defeats in Grenada, Panama, the first Gulf War, and the "Last Stand" on that hilltop in Afghanistan.

Where have you been?

28 years in the service including 18 months in combat - guess so, private.

This is the same POTUS that loves drones and yet he sends SEALS in to get a terrorist.
Am betting the bad guys were tipped off and waiting.

Set up by the anti-Americans in the Executive Branch. This is why we need to control Congress for a generation and at veto-proof majorities if possible.

And remove commanders that will stand in your way. Does anyone really believe Romney would be doing this garbage?

It sounds the whole attack was a massive screw up and they had to back out.

The kids were there , OK so what about the drone strikes which have increased under Bozo?

Also when we would do something like this we would have a silencer if we could not get close to the guy, so are they saying that not one Seal had a pistol with a silencer to take out this guy smoking?

Nah this was a screw up and either they were ordered to get out to not have any casualties or the commander on the ground realized this was a screw up.

We cannot believe anything that Obama touches. Its all just
part of his campaign. Seal Team 6 is just a part of the Obama Kabuki Theater campaign which began in 2008 shortly after Obama’s fraudulent inauguration.

Another traitorous running dog for the evil Obama socialist regime. This one is a wattle-flopping muslim convert and he runs the CIA.

Is this a great nation or what? The enemies of our society are allowed to run the show.

Did it have “hi-capacity ammunition clips”?
