Since someone tipped off the raid, this would not be surprising if true. If true.

The actionable intelligence is likely to be found on this side of the world. Who leaked.

All 4 Paki IT brothers were in place.

Before the Extortion 17 shoot-down 1 or the 3 was already working.

NO RECENT NEWS ABOUT THEM.

This was Obama’s operation that got put off until Trump was President, right, so if it failed it was Obama’s planning that screwed it up.

Since this is intel related this is probably another IC leak.

I’m beginning to understand why Putin controls the press in Russia and while FDR outright censored the press during WW2. You can’t fight a war if you have the press lying and undermining morale 24/7.

Why doesn't it read like this? Although senior Pentagon officials have said the raid produced "actionable intelligence," unnamed government employees including the head janitor who may or may not have anything to do with the raid or its aftermath or intelligence gathered said they were unaware of any

For that matter you could ask virtually anyone and they would say they were "unaware of any" because they are in no position to know, and if they were in a position to know, it would be illegal to say anything about what they know.

Well, I’m not so sure we actually took out OBL either. No body, no death.

By all accounts it wasn’t a bad plan, but someone tipped Al-Qaeda off. Which high ranking government official with access to raids like this has been seen working with Al-Qaeda in Syria? I’ll give you a hint it and it starts with J and ends with McLame.

Wasn’t that “Dude, that was like two years ago!” kid a senior official? I know of DC interns that actually ran programs.

Very true. Even the people who are actually processing the intel would say something like that. And the #FakeNews producers like NBC know it.

Crap just keeps leaking, and we really have no way to know if it’s true. At the time, everything we heard is that they successfully accomplished the mission, but here we are again. The leakers must be caught.
