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.

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.

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

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.

“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?

from everything we DO know it is easy to piece together what happened.

Obama was too much of a pansy to make a decision, after calling it off 2 or 3 times before on Jarrett’s orders.

So Panetta set up a series of questions that if fulfilled allowed him to assume he had the go ahead.

This is a common tactic when you have a leader who is too much of a wimp to lead.

So when those circumstance arrived he went ahead. This let Obama sit on his ass playing cards with Reggie Love while people acted.

This way he could blame them if it went wrong, and take credit if it worked. They called him in off the golf course when it was too late to stop.

The way he crowed about how “I gave the order’ tells me he didn’t.

The giveaway in 2011 was that there were no pictures released, no proof offered, and that the US Navy buried Bin Laden at sea in accordance with Muslim burial traditions.

I said then “What Muslim traditions? They live in a friggin’ desert!”

The 3,000 Americans who died on 9/11/2001 didn’t get to be buried according to their traditions.

When the trith about the last five years get revealed, we won’t be able to even imagine the extent of the deception, treason and treachery.

OBL has taken up residence in the WH... he sleeps in the Lincoln bedroom.

Actually, I think the first “the” was true, but the rest were lies.

SInce Hersh has such a sketchy reliability index (the kookie theories out number Alex Jones by quite a bit) I don’t believe him. It may be that this one time he is telling the truth but after all the boy who cried wolf and all that

This is all well and good, but what we really need to be working on for the next 3 years is Hillary. We should be able to finish the Benghazi investigation by then, but I wish people would dust off a DVD called “A Noble Lie” about the OKC bombing. The bent one was neck deep in a cover up of gigantic proportions.

This article raises the spectre that Seal Team 6 had to be silenced to protect the official and perhaps even the unofficial story.
