U.S. commandos missed with their first shot at Osama bin Laden, when the world’s most wanted man poked his head out of a third-floor room to see what was headed his way, according to U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, the ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Bin Laden ducked back in, and the Navy SEALS quickly followed and finished the job, Chambliss said in a telephone interview this afternoon.
The missed shot was a new detail in the emerging story of the 40-minute raid on the Abbottabad compound in Pakistan. Chambliss also said commandos found a pistol and AK-47 in bin Laden’s room.
More details to come later, but here’s what Chambliss said:
”I hope they went in with the idea of killing him, not capturing him. We needed to take this guy out. And I know that’s what the executive order said.
“The other thing you have to remember is that this was pitch dark. When they got into the room with bin Laden, they already had to go through some other folks downstairs, two of which they killed. And they were having to use explosives to blow doors open. By the time they got to him, they didn’t know what they would find.”
The SEALS encountered bin Laden on the third floor of the compound, after blowing a door that led down a hallway, Chambliss said.
”They blew the door open, and they looked down the hallway and he stuck his head out of the room that he was in, and saw them, and ducked back in. They fired a shot, and missed him the first time – and then went to the room. And that’s when they killed him.”

These guys are killers, they don’t miss. Sheese!
Anything exciting going on at the WH?
The same "U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, that got suckered in on believing "he saw the Bin Laded death photo" that's been on the web for 2 years and has been id'ed as a fake????
Just another politician who wants everyone to know ....that he's in the loop
I think not as well, but this is what is making it all so funny and damning to ZERO. I just love it when he hurts and feeling our pain.
I heard that the leprechauns took Osama’s gold and the brownies threw shoes at the seals. I got it from sources.
Who cares about this crap? We won’t get a photo or any video, but we will have politicians telling us UBL may have been “scared”
So the first shot missed -and the other 100 found their target.
Don't worry - by tomorrow the story will change....
All of the photos I have seen of UBL with a gun it was an AK-74 - not a 47.
almost always the Krinkov...
We need a new Warren Commission report.
He released it because he wants to feel important and get his name in print.
Grandstanders the whole stinking bunch.
I wouldn’t trust them with a secret, none of them.
Every one wants to look like a “subject matter expert” hero romantic politician on this story. These politicians have no soul and are morons. Even whacky strippers pretending they were SEALS have more validity. Someone tell these political whores to shut up or to give me a monument for having to listen to them.
We're talking about Senator Chambliss (Rino-GA). Somehow, someway it's connected to a pork barrel project.
CNN reported last night that SIN-ator Shamless was fooled by the 2010 fake photos of Usama, on Monday. Then on Tuesday had to apologize for saying he had seen the REAL photos of 05/01/11...
Not sure why or how this matters?
But maybe we need to help them with their aim.
Say a nice 2 week all expense trip to a nice resort in Montana or Wyoming.
“He’s a Gang of 10 member, right?”
No thats his IQ. He’s a Gang of 6 member. One of our two resident RINO senators here in GA. Its like a prison sentence.
The instant I heard Rush say the words, ‘Saxby Chambliss’ I cringed. I can’t remember the last time I heard something come out of Chambliss’ mouth that I really wanted to hear.
