Hersh is certainly not an immaculate member of the 4th estate. What is more interesting are the swarms of leftist troll and seminar posters that dominate the comments portion of this site. This is typical of a DC oriented pub.

Hersh also said the military was controlled by a cabal of Christian zealots who wanted a global 10th Crusade against all Muslims.

I’m not saying it’s false or not, but he’s made some outlandish statements before.

I’m not saying it’s bad or not, it’s just clearly not true given the amount PC garbage the military does.

Hmm The 10th Crusade. Alexander Dumas the Younger's novel factory produced a work by that name which was about Bonaparte's expedition to Egypt in 1798 which did end up with the greatest battle captain in modern time conducting operations in Samaria literally in the footsteps of the Crusaders. His army routed a large Turk force at Mt Tabor right on the doorstep of Armageddon. Hard for fiction to beat real historical events.

And yes Hersh saying ‘the military was controlled by a cabal of Christian zealots who wanted a global 10th Crusade against all Muslims.’ Reads like vintage Sy Hersh when he has imbibed a generous quantity of Single Malt Scotch.

Do we really need to know the truth of the bin Laden raid? I’m happy with the way things happened in Zero Dark-Thirty. I don’t think anyone should be publishing operations details about anything.

ONE OF THE GREAT QUOTES OF OUR LIFETIME:

“I saw Osama bin Laden standing on two feet, there was no ISI up there. I shot him in the head twice and then I shot him again in the face while he was on the ground. “

Hersh also wrote that the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had been holding bin Laden hostage for years

Is "hostage" the Urdu word for honored and welcome guest?

Oh not criticizing you!

Just the attitude of Hersh, that he’s Shocked! I tell you Shocked! that the military might have *Gasp* Christians in its command structure.

Oh The Horror

Do you think that’s a better version than “No Easy Day”?
I’m not satisfied with either “version”, mostly because I don’t think either are factual.

I do think the whole truth about the “Extortion 17” mission should come out sooner, rather than later.

I guess our elected and appointed civilian government entities get to make those decisions...with the support of a number of my fellow citizens, regardless of the truth.

You may be happy with lies.
I’m not.

If you believe the Bin Ladin story, our military flew 200+ miles south, had a 40 min firefight, bagged Bin Ladin’s body, flew 200+ miles north, unloaded the body, conducted DNA and facial recognition testing, re-bagged the body, flew 800-1000 miles south to meet up with a ship, unloaded the body, made evryone go below decks, prepared the body for burial at sea with muslim rituals.

All in 8 hours.

Agreed, it’s GREAT line! I loved it!!! (Of course the: “Then I dumped a full mag into that muzzie POS and the last few rounds sawed his damn head off and as I watched it roll down the hallway, a Doggy chomped into it and started using it for a chew toy” would have been nice also.....)

None of this would be relevant if the administration would keep top secret level information top secret. No one needs to know how it was done and the SEAL shouldn’t be yakking either. The only SEALs I want to hear from can’t speak for themselves. They were killed in a helo crash while on the Extortion 17 mission.

I believe every word of the Warren Report, so the official story of Bin Laden is easy to swallow for me.

PS I’m looking to buy a bridge

The one thing I believe is the Pakistanis were totally aware where Ben Ladin was.

If there are a lot of Christian leaders in our military, Odunga will eventually get rid of them.

My Father commented on his battalion in WWII. He said all his officers were “fine Christian men”.

If the Seal hit OBL in the Head Twice and gave him one in the Face, how could they use Facial Recognition to ID him?

I’m thinking the Sopranos and Pussy on the Yacht.
Then they dumped his Body in the Ocean. Must be where they got the idea, or Guido Fishing on Lake Tahoe.
