The White House backed away Monday evening from key details in its narrative about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, including claims by senior U.S. officials that the Al Qaeda leader had a weapon and may have fired it during a gun battle with U.S. forces.
Officials also retreated from claims that one of bin Laden’s wives was killed in the raid and that bin Laden was using her as a human shield before she was shot by U.S. forces.
*snip*
However, during a background, off-camera briefing for television reporters later Monday, a senior White House official said bin Laden was not armed when he was killed, apparently by the U.S. raid team.
Another White House official familiar with the TV briefing confirmed the change to POLITICO, adding, “I’m not aware of him having a weapon.”

The White House didn’t offer a reason for any of the changes. However, Brennan noted during his televised briefing that his information came from reports from the scene as well as live video feeds of the raid. “I wasn’t there,” he said.

That’s sop for the prince of fools...
Obama better get used to this theme. “We want to see the tape!” “We want to see your REAL birth certificate!”
Two things that Muslims cited was Osama fighting the Crusaders who came after him, dying like a boss. Also that the infidels killed his defenseless wife.
Obama Administration was lying about OBL having a weapon. They don’t want to tick off their left-wing base by admitting that OBL was executed, without a trial. If this was President Bush, those same leftists (including Obama himself) would be calling these actions a war crime.
“What? Don’t you trust me?”

Yes you did, I did a search before and after I posted this thread.
I would have posted it sooner, but it takes a bit of time to include links and do a couple of snips.
I hope they leave both of them up.
As long as the Hawaii Dept. of Health has nothing to do with all of this, I’m good.
perhaps the real reason why his body was dumped in the sea so fast was because he was shot execution style.
Brennan noted during his televised briefing that his information came from reports from the scene as well as live video feeds of the raid. “I wasn’t there,” he said.If the White House wants any credibility (as if!) they need to show the tapes of the raid to a few journalists from the MSM and the New Media: Matt Drudge, Andrew Brietbart, and me representing Free Republic.
Only then would we have the real story.
Well, heck. If he wasn’t armed, his wife wasn’t killed and the story is going to change everyday or have stuff added to it.....
What secret prison is Bin Laden being held at then?
I know the whole story they took an SR-71 out of retirement and flew Osama I mean Obama I get those two mixed up To Pockestain and he lead the team in and flew back in time to go golfing
Nothing to see here....move along. FR is too above modifications to Obama’s story. We absolutely belived it from the first moment. /sarc
Obama The Bearer Of All Truth May Piss Be Upon Him!
Sorry, I hate that word but couldn’t help myself...
So the Neo-Con warmonger Obama shot an unarmed terrorist mastermind? This will REALLY tick off his liberal base.
You know, the sad part about this is that the Seals probably did get Bin Laden.
But the whole thing is ruined by the lies and political manipulation by Obama. Good Grief.
and yes, I second the motion to piss on the Great Obfuscator.
A guy walks in a bar, bartender ask’s the guy ...”What can I do you for ?”
Guy says “I’ll take a bin Laden!!”
Bartender say’s... “What the fuk is a bin Laden? I’ve never heard of that drink before!! “
...
Guy say’s.... “A bin Laden is 2 shots & a splash of water!!!!”
However;
If true,
We assasinated a civilian invalid.
The rules of engagement that get our brave warriors killed were ignored for this mission.
OBL has never been an active combatant and we unleash all hell on him.
The real, shoot to kill us enemy can't be touched until we're killed first.
That’s funny. Thank you.
