Was the objective met?

Is bin Laden still dead?

Seymour Hersh - one of al Qaeda’s declared “favorite reporters.” Runs in same circle as Isikoff, VIP’s Pat Lang and Karen Kwiatkowski the Lyndon LaRouche nut.

I think Hersh gets at least one thing right.

From the very first accounts of the raid, I felt that the Pakistan government was assisting the USA, or, that Pakistan had promised the USA a set amount of time before local police or military would respond to the raid.

The raid lasted 40 minutes.

Bin Laden’s house was less than a mile from the “West Point of Pakistan.”

A helicopter crashed inside the perimeter wall of the house during the first minute of the raid.

After the crash, multiple explosive devices were used to enter and secure the home.

Muffled bursts of USA automatic weapons fire continued over a period of at least 20 minutes.

Un-muffled bursts of return automatic fire occurred periodically during that 20 minutes.

At least one helicopter hovered over the area during the entire raid, which was clearly heard and reported in real time by a local resident who was on social media.

Bottom Line - for 40 minutes, in the middle of the night, not one policeman or military patrol showed up to investigate all the aerial activity, explosions, and gunfire?

I will never believe that the USA pulled this off without Pakistan's active complicity.

I do believe Hersh’s 10K words on the entire subject would have benefitted from documentation and footnotes & references.

I also think if anyone would like to do this is do a bit of research on names he used other than OBL and do a body count-pakistan & american.

One thing for sure I remember was seeing a pic of that crashed chopper-broken to bits.

and for my personal opinion-?& how it all came down?

no wonder someone sent Barry to the golf course. LOL

Soon they will trot out Dempsey and/or a bunch of other sycophant military “leaders” to stand behind Valerie’s man child and sing his praises.

All to counter the truth.

Watch. They are orchestrating it now.

Actually, the Seymour Hersh version is more believable and relies on common sense, as apposed to that White House version that comes with a tin foil hat

CNN tried to discredit Hersh’s account in an interview yesterday.

They failed IMHO.
