It is surprising it was so clean(or maybe he just didn’t want to spoil the party and we’ll find out later on that it wasn’t so clean).

You always heard he had this huge security detail.

Maybe they tunneled under the walls and came in from the ground(that’d be pretty cool)

I’m just thinking about what was going through his mind when he finally saw Uncle Sam pay him a visit. There was no new caliphate. The Saudi royal family is still in power. He didn’t topple any arab regimes. None of his muslim friends were there to help him. Allah wasn’t there to save him. The State of Israel still exists. The United States still exists. Americans will get up tomorrow morning and do the same things they’ve always done. I hope there was a moment when he’d realized he’d lost before he died and I hope he knew it was the United States that killed him.

I also wonder what was going through the mind of whoever it was on our side who pulled the trigger. What he was thinking when he finally saw the 6’4” terrorist in front of him, when he had him in his sights, and when he knew he just had to squeeze his finger to send him to hell.

Love it! Too bad we’ll never know the name of this hero who killed Bin laden.

What did he feel?

Recoil.

Probably not. CNN said the Navy Seals used multiple helicopters, one had mechanical difficulties so they blew it up after transferring all of the Seals to another helicopter, so I think they went in thru the front door, in strength.

I”m certain many thoughts of how it all went down have crossed most minds....Wish there was some way we could honor our guys for getting this job done. I bet Al Swarri and others are pooing their pants....just shows the US is relentless no matter how long it takes...they will never rest their heads without fear of the US taking them out....

HEaring on various cables they went in in choppers- one of the choppers crashed (mechanical problem) and they had to stay on the ground in the compound for 40 minutes to destroy chopper and tidy up- get the bodies etc.

bin LAden was shot in the head. 3 other adult men were killed and one woman. The woman was killed because she was used AS A HUMAN SHIELD by one of these cowards. Also killed was one of bin Laden’s sons.

This was a special ops gig from start to finish. I imagine bin Laden is carrying several extra POUNDS of lead..

This was one hell of an operation and I’m in awe of our special forces.

God BLESS our guys.
