Rob O’Neill — the Navy SEAL who shot Osama bin Laden — has finally broken his silence after ISIS supporters published his home address and called for both his death and the death of his family.
“All soldiers who serve their country assume certain risks. It’s part of the deal,” he told The Daily Caller. “But I am alert, I am vigilant and I take precautions.”
After publicly telling his story in November 2014, O’Neill has become a major target for radical Islamists across the globe, yet personal security threats won’t silence him from speaking out against one of America’s greatest enemies.
“My bigger concern is a lack of a clear strategy for containing and or neutralizing ISIS as a national security threat,” notes the former Navy officer.
On Monday, The Mirror UK ran a piece about “Mrs. Terror” Sally Jones, the British radical claiming to have published O’Neill’s address.
“I leave this info of Robert O’Neill for my brothers in America and Al Qaeda in the U.S. as a number one target to eventually hunt down and kill,” Jones wrote on social media.
“This is what he gets for not shutting his mouth about the operation.”
How did anyone ever find out who killed Bin Laden?
OH! He came out and said.
He pulled the trigger.
But America killed Bin Laden. For good reason.
I do not know whether to believe his story or not. There was heavy suspicion that Osama was killed at Tora Bora in 2002 after the U.S. dropped a cluster of bombs.
I have always suspected that Osama died near that time, but his presence was alluded to in fuzzy films whenever GW Bush and later Obama wanted to justify being at war in the middle east. Eventually, the specter of Osama had outlived it’s usefulness, allowing Barack to ‘kill’ Osama again, and for the last time. Why else would they have done this burial at sea in the dead of night. Never showing any photos of their big catch. No, it doesn’t pass the smell test.
Yes, Rob O’Neill declared to be the one who pulled the trigger, only after a book published that some other guy was taking credit.
It’s hard to tell if he did it or not, but it seems many in the intel community were upset that he came out with his story. I don’t recall the same reaction to the earlier story.
If Islamic State thinks it will be easy killing this man they may be setting themselves up for a big surprise. Operators from Delta and DEVGRU are some of the hardest men on this planet, and definitely not the unarmed women and children Islamic State is best used to killing.
I watched the Fox News documentary on him and was impressed, but I was fully aware that it was just his word on the matter. I don’t recall anyone else contributing or backing up the story.
Yes, even on his own, I imagine he will be difficult to target. And I’m sure others — both in and out of government — are helping him.
Ask President Zer0 if he’ll help to protect this man of men.
Exactly. Islamic State will not find it easy going after this man. Some hunts are not worth the risk.
I doubt obama will help, but not everyone in the government is loyal to obama.
I’m sure there are many in the government who are grateful for what O’Neill has done. We should expect some of them to supply intel to O’Neill on what may be happening.
Wouldn’t it be great if the Navy Seal killed every one of the Islamic assasins who tried to kill him, cut their heads and mounted it on a pike for them to see. Turnabout is fair play.
after my conversations with military personel in all branches the past year, he is in for one hell of a surprise if he demands that they shoot civilians. They really and I don't mean this lightly, really hate this man with a passion. He is the most hated president by the military of all time.
He didn’t kill Bin-Laden, nobody did. It was all a set up by our first radical Islamic POTUS to help the real Bin-Laden escape. Read the book “No easy day” by Seal team 6 member Matt Bissonnette. He says the guy they killed looked nothing like Bin Laden. This is why to date the public hasn’t seen one shred of evidence of Bin Ladens death. I mean really, someone show me the evidence. We have evidence of the death of just about every dead terrorist on earth including Sadaam Hussein and his sons, but oh....how curious, not one shred of evidence of the big daddy of them all, Bin-Laden
That’s why it’s important to remember that our oath (for military and civilian alike) is to the Constitution, and not to any individual. There are many of us who take that very seriously.
as do I. Worked with an ex-CIA op a few days ago who's in contact with manyof her old buds and that they do mot care for the CIC POS in office either. They don't trust him.
I do not understand how Biden is still in office after identifying seal team 6, but it blows my mind how many of the spec op guys are singing.
Biden and Obama put out the information.
“My bigger concern is a lack of a clear strategy for containing and or neutralizing ISIS as a national security threat,”
MY major concern is the lack of a plan for victory over our enemies - no, wait - it’s the fact that 99/100 people you talk to do not understand the term “victory” and cannot form the ideas in their heads about necessary measures to achieve it.
