WASHINGTON – Only one of the five people killed in the raid that got Osama bin Laden was armed and fired a shot, a senior defense official said Thursday, acknowledging the new account differs greatly from original administration portrayals of a chaotic, intense and prolonged firefight. The sole shooter in the al-Qaida leader's Pakistani compound was quickly killed in the early minutes of the commando operation, details that have become clearer now that the Navy SEAL assault team has been debriefed, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record.

Here is the result of my intense investigation into this police action. The force was led by Jessica Lynch, the former truck driver, captured and rescued during GW2. She was closely supported by a diverse set of commandos: 2 openly gay, 1 transexual, 1 transgendered, 1 gender confused, 2 Iman wannabes, 2 illegal aliens, 3 white males prominently displaying membership in the white guilt society, and 10 counselors/faith healers. They entered the compound using variety of non lethal restraints and pacification methods. When the unit confronted the Sheik, he was disarmed and ultimately died of laughter and hiccups.

My mind is failing me, I actually had forgotten all about legged resistance, in fact I still can’t remember anything about it. Just what was it Patton said?

With OBL gone, obama is trying his best to make the military look like cold-blooded murderers.

You know, there's this nagging thought I have that Obama is going to milk it as much as he can and then throw the SEALs under the bus with a grim-faced report, "After the initial euphoria of the raid wore off, it became increasingly clear to me that we were being misled in the details of the raid. Based on that, I directed a high-level interagency investigative team that reported directly to me to find out the truth. The results are frankly disturbing and I have taken swift action to punish the wrongdoers. I am also requiring an overhaul of our policies and procedures for these types of operations. I have set deadline of 30 days from now for me to receive the full report and new set of guidelines. I am personally committed to making the necessary changes. I want to assure the world that the United States does not condone and will not tolerate this."

It is so easy to see him doing that.
