Not ONE word of official account of raid that killed Bin Laden is true. Seymour Hersh
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 28 September 2013 | Marie-louise Olson

Posted on 09/28/2013 6:14:02 PM PDT by PotatoHeadMick

The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist says that raid which killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011 is ‘one big lie'. He says the US media is too 'afraid' to pick on Obama. Hersh, 76, says the solution is to shut down news networks like NBC and ABC. He also suggested the firing of 90 per cent of mainstream editors.

Wow, Hersh is really laying into Obama and the mainstream media, OK we've being saying the same thing for years but it's good to have it from a lefty journalist. I might wake a few people up.

This is an excerpt from the British Daily Mail, which is reporting the interview published in the British Guardian newspaper, once again British journalists doing the job that US journos won't do.

I agree that the White House account of the OBL raid may be in part a total fabrication, but how would Obama get the silence of the military?

We need to extend guest-reporter visas to these Brits; whenever the truth needs to be told, drag one of them out to spill the beans.

At least a few journalists with integrity and who see a need an honest need to inform us remain. There are major provocative issues that politicians of both Parties, and the media too will refuse to address and they will aggressively cut you off if brought up. This is probably one more more example.

Our media and journalists are owned by corrupt greedy interests whose agenda is neither beneficial nor in synch with 99% of Americans. Interesting too how deception has become a way of life in the USA politics and media.

Seymour Hersh has made a number of disclosures that always rile the political elites.

Give us the British media and send back Piers Morgan.

“how would Obama get the silence of the military?”

Didn’t the troops who supposedly carried out the raid all get wiped out in a helicopter crash a few weeks later?

I recently read Hersh’s expose of the Kennedy administration and its dreadful debauchery, the entire Secret Service, press corps, related police departments and senior military knew what was going on but because they all loved JFK, no one told the truth until decades afterwards.

Mmmmmmmm.....

Wasn't there another group of military that were killed around the time Seal 6 team was killed?

All this truthful reporting coming from the foreign press is what Hillary! once referred to as “a vast right-wing conspiracy”. Thank God for the British press, but even Pravda has more integrity than America’s Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms.

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised of Bin Laden wasn't killed at all.

They do have body doubles.

"...how would Obama get the silence of the military?"

Well, by shooting down the Chinook carrying the members of SeAL Team Six, for one. By telling the rest of the Team, and the crew members of the ship that if they dared spill the beans, that they'd get offed, too. By firing flag officers who couldn't be trusted to keep the Obammunist's dirty little secrets, and threatening them and their families if they dared leak the truth.

There are many ways this bunch of oligarchs can shut people up. Hell, they got to Benedict Arnold Roberts somehow, and got him to change his vote on Obamacare. If it can be done, this bunch of Commies will do it, no matter how illegal, immoral, or flat-out evil. Get in their way, and they'll kill you and/or your family.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

“Right,” Mr Hersh. So what really happened? The United States Navy Seals would not be party to a hoax. That’s enough for me.

He exposed My lai, he exposed the Kennedys, he exposed Nixon in Cambodia, he exposed Abu Ghraib, now you may not like what he exposes but he hasn’t been caught lying or making stuff up like other members of the Obama-fawning media.

If the darling of the left-wing media says Obama is a total liar and the mainstream media are carrying water for him I think the least that ornery old knuckle-dragging wingnuts like us can do is open a bottle and enjoy the show.

I believe Katherine Bigelow’s rendition in Zero Dark Thirty was fairly close. She showed that it was a years long hunt and that Obama had a small part. That’s why the word was put out to deny her an Oscar.

If so, how did we get him to lay low and not issue word one since his "alleged" whacking?

“This is an excerpt from the British Daily Mail, which is reporting the interview published in the British Guardian newspaper, once again British journalists doing the job that US journos won’t do. “

And the Guardian, yet, which is very left wing.

All these British news outlets now want to become the new CNN. That is, be thought of as the premier source for international news. Some, like the Daily Mail, have a large presence in the US and I suppose in European capitals as well.

So the rumors are true and OBL really was wrapped in a pig carcass before being dumped off the stern?
