Jimmie tackled some of this earlier but heres the vid from todays presser for those who missed it. If the SEALs tactics on the ground had been as sloppy and confused as the White Houses handling of the media aftermath, Bin Laden and his crew would be dragging their bodies through the streets of Abbottabad as I write this. How did we go from Bin Laden had a weapon and was using his wife as a human shield to Bin Laden was unarmed and didnt have a human shield in the span of 24 hours when theres apparently helmet-cam footage of the whole raid? Surely, surely, the White House knew that conspiracy cranks and naysayers would cite every discrepancy in the official narrative as proof that Bin Ladens still alive or whatever. Didnt they
watch the video before chatting with the press?
Is there a link to this story? I wonder if that release effected the timeline.
It was probably signed over to the Obama, 2012 campaign committee. :)
Starnge, there was a Chinese computer generated re-enactment within hours - shown once but never again.
If I remember righly it showed the Seals entering the compound and shooting two men and then in the bedroom of Osama he was in bed and as he sat up it seemed that a some sort of missile was fired at him not a gun shot.
Since then nothing but hiding the photos and tbe body from public view.
Interesting.
