I'm not going to defend O but I think the whole birther thing was/is a smart, political move

Never ascribe brilliance and cunning to that which can easily be explained by ignorance and incompetence.

If he was also using an Oxygen concentrator along with the CPAP machine, the sound of a quiet stealth helicopter would indeed be drowned out. No one in the room with both of those machines running would be aroused by external noises unless those external noises were very loud and UNUSUAL.

On a mission trip to Jamaica a few years ago, I slept in a house without windows. There were dogs running loose and barking all night long and someone somewhere had a ghettobox blasting dance music. About the time we started getting accustomed to the noise, the roosters began crowing.

If it was common to hear gunfire from the nearby military training facilities, even the sound of gunfire in the yard would not be considered uncommon and it would not wake him up.

I personally use a CPAP machine AND an oxygen concentrator at night. The sound of the oxygen concenrtator is loud enough that I keep it in another room as far away from the bedroom as I can get it. In our old house, I kept it out on the back porch. As the oxygen concentrators get old and worn, they get even noisier.

The basic function of an oxygen concentrator is to compress the air into different strata, siphon off the oxygen, periodically release the compressed gases remaining and then repeat the entire process over again about every 20 to 30 seconds.

There is a very audible sound of the compressor running and an audible pop as the compresses air is released into the atmosphere to begin the next compression cycle.

There were TWO Blachkawks and TWO Chinooks. The Blackhawks arrived first and made initial contact. The Chinooks most likely arrived later to secure the site for their escape.

The Blackhawks were the silent stealth choppers while the much larger Chinooks with dual rotors were MUCH louder.

The local who heard the choppers stated that they were much louder than normal so it was probably the Chinooks that he heard and not the stealth Blackhawks. Based on that statement it would seem that the locals were accustomed to hearing helicopters flying in the area but not at night.

Osama was described as being somewhat dazed and confused when the SEALS broke into his room so it seems probable that either he didn't hear the initial assault or he was accustomed to hearing choppers and gunfire in the neighborhood and he didn't wake up from the noise until the SEALS started blowing things up to get past the barricades.

If power outages were common and people used generators a lot, the sound of the generators would help mask out the silent (quiet-stealth) helicopters.

Toward the end of her life my mother used a oxygen concentrator and as you said they do make a lot of noise. In her case the concentrator was isolated as far as possible from her with 2 closed doors between them.

The Navy SEA Ls will not talk about what is the truth and what is disinformation from the 0bama administration. In all likely hood we may never know if Bin Laden was awakened before or when his bed room was entered by the SEALs.

Thanks for your comment it does add insight that no one else has provided on this thread.

Springtime in Pakistan, the weather.
This whole thing gets more bizarre with each passing day.

This version is the earliest, and makes the most sense. At first, the 0bama team was proud of themselves. My guess is the lawyers found out later and were aghast to have proof of premeditation on the part of our president and highest officials. There is no way the situation room group is not watching something significant. If it isn’t the play-by-play on the helmet cams, perhaps it’s the helicopter crash. Oh, the horror of being compared to Jimmy Carter.

There's an article saying it was the Panetta-Hillary-Petraeus axis that made the raid happen, that Obama and Jarrett shilly-shallied.

The hysterical walking-back which began almost immediately makes mock of Obama as Conan the Barbarian, or Barak Norris: Chuck Norris' Younger Tougher Brother.

Obama is a gay-marxist-muslim with a propensity for golf, not a command figure.

The scene in the situation room began as a copy of Clancy's Clear and Present Danger with Harrison Ford and Luke I Am Your Father.

Obama in the photos comes off as the shrunken-headed dufus in the final scene of Beetlejuice.

Surely Hillary will make a move on him for the 2012 shot.

GOOD post!

I saw the article with which you are referring, and it seems plausible to me.

What makes it plausible is that it reflects on how things actually happened, instead of all of the gobbligook we’ve been getting fron the White House.

It, plain and simple, makes more sense than what has been reported.

>> So, what did they talk about?

You mean Obama and Osama during the blackout?

Just putting 2 and 2 together folks... seems like the most plausible explanation of events — the final arrangement.

U.S. has intel that Osama bin Laden’s son and heir, Hamza, is dead, officials say
NBC News ^ | July 31, 2019 | Courtney Kube

The United States has obtained intelligence that the son and potential successor of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, Hamza bin Laden, is dead, according to three U.S. officials.
The officials would not provide details of where or when Hamza bin Laden died or if the U.S. played a role in his death. It is unclear if the U.S. has confirmed his death.
Asked by reporters on Wednesday whether the U.S. had intelligence that Hamza is dead, President Donald Trump said, “I don’t want to comment on that.”
