5s he dead
Since bin Laden is not a head of state, this wouldn’t qualify as an “assassination” by the strictest definition of the term. Also, since he is an enemy combatant who has declared war on the US, this combat operation would be perfectly legal in that context, and the Seal team was quite within the rules of engagement to use deadly force against him.
And now we find out that there was no firefight. Only one of the guys was even armed(and that was with a pistol, if you believe that, I bet he wasn’t armed either). Certainly no 20 minute firefight like they claimed. You can tell by looking at the Reuters photos of the other 3 bodies. If there was a huge firefight they’d be riddled with bullets. Instead, they look like they have 1 or 2 wounds each, fairly precise and accurate. Nothing like bodies sprayed with bullets you’d expect in a firefight. And I’m sure if there was a firefight there’d have been pictures of the walls of the compund and all the bullet holes. We haven’t seen any of that. Also explains how none of our guys were wounded or killed. It’d be very lucky if 20 guys were engaged in a 20 minute firefight in close quarters and none of them were hit. Of course, if there was no firefight and the one guy with the pistol was taken out right away, it explains the lack of injuries on our side. I bet Bin Laden’s daughter’s account was the accurate one. She also said he was killed on the ground floor, not the 3rd floor, which makes more sense.
Hopefully the real story comes out some time.
Yeah but allegedly he’s the CIC, buck stops there. (even though he and Pelosi had to be left out of the loop to get it done)
I don’t care.
You believe anything coming from Pockeeestonnn?
I think the deal Obama and Pelosi worked out with Pakistan to hold Osama there, didn’t work out too well for our military...
Only this group could bungle the post-operation so badly. This is such an embarrassment. Frankly, it is a miracle these fools didn’t screw up the mission itself. I suppose when the military is the one doing the planning and have the preparation to execute their mission, the politicians’ ability to do damage is limited.
The difference was FDR was NOT a Jap sympathizer and Obama bin Laden IS a MUSLIM sympathizer.
0bama is not responsible? I thought he personally, brilliantly planned every detail of this operation. All the SEALs had to do was follow the Gutsy One’s scripted instructions displayed on little Teleprompters mounted on their helmets. /s
Killing him was the right thing, probably the ONLY thing that could be done.
Having the POS in cusody would put every American life in jeopardy; taking Americans hostage and killing them until he was released...
That aside, subjecting him to s l o w torture would be the next option.
Mr. Obama tear down that wall!
Obama was all over this in claiming responsibility for EVERYTHING that happened initially. As soon as the White House “facts” of how the operation went down started changing, Obama began the “distancing” process from the event.
At this rate, he’ll soon be making it look like the Seals did this all on their own. He’ll throw the Navy Seals under the bus in a New York minute if he thinks it politically advantageous.
I wouldn't care if Osama was on the ground begging for his life when they shot him, and most Americans would agree, but Obama and strongest supporters don't think like the rest of us!
Usama is dead and Obama is getting dumped on. Win-Win.
So now we’re slandering SEALs to get at Obama? Stay classy, FR.
Regardless of who and how many were shot or killed, the outcome for the folks in the compound was a lot better than being hit with a drone missle.
CHRIS ROCK: “Tupac Shakur was assassinated, Biggie Smalls assassinated, struck down by assassin’s bullets No. Martin Luther King was assassinated, John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Them two ni%%as got shot! I love Tupac, I love Biggie, but school will be open on their birthday.”
Imo, there was a live video all the time. It is obvious from the situation room personnel they were watching and reacting to something on a video screen. Why the WH has put out that there was a 25 minutes gap, imo, a cover-up. It didn’t wash when Nixon said it, it doesn’t wash now when obamma says it.
