In before the conspiracy theory ramblings...
Perhaps “Mark Owen” is a pseudonym for B. Hussein Obama, the man who single-handedly is responsible for killing bin-Laden but has absolutely no responsibility for anything else in the past 3 1/2 years.
Am I mistaken or is this stuff not supposed to be kept classified for like 7 years before they(SEALs/operators) are allowed to publicly discuss it? Then again, with a White House deliberately leaking state secrets like a sieve, the standards really aren’t what they used to be.
I am confused. I may have misread the first story I read about this book. I thought the NYTimes version said the book had been vetted via the Pentagon. Why wouldn’t the White House have been privy to that? I guess I will have to go back to the Slimes version and reread.

“We learned about this book today from press reports. We haven’t reviewed it and don’t know what it says,” White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said.
The Pentagon said it hadn’t vetted the book or helped provide information to the authors. There are at least two Pentagon regulations requiring the Defense Department review writings by retired troops that contain sensitive material.
“This book came as a surprise to folks at the Pentagon,” a senior defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said. “Naturally, we’ll be interested to read the book when it is made available.”
CIA spokesman Preston Golson said: “As far as we can determine, this book was not submitted for pre-publication review.”*********
Oh yeah, sensitive info like this and nobody has any idea what it says. Man, they’ve got all these guys singing in unison.
This stinks to high heaven.
Who exactly is the US Government? I mean, everyone who works for the US Government or just Obama? Is Obama the US Government?
“The U.S. government was surprised . . . “
WTF does THAT mean?
Who, pray tell, is “The US Government”?
Is it Obama? The Executive Branch? Does it include the SEAL who wrote the book? Does it include We The People?
Who, exactly, speaks for “The US government”? Carney? Justice Roberts? Harry Reid?
Yeah, I smell a rat too and think this is nothing but a ploy by the Obama administration to glorify Obama’s role in the mission to take down Bin Laden. I don’t think they were surprised at all, and if they really don’t won’t the book to be published, it won’t be. I think they are pushing it and have planned this all along, just another spike of the ball. Well I throw the damn penalty flag on this.
I don’t see why the author needs to write under a “pseudonym”. Barry the Kenyan Guy invited Hollywood in to make a movie about his killing of Osama bin Laden. Hollyweird’s Obambo - Terrorist Hunter movie should be coming out in time for the election. I haven’t heard any whining about that.
Not even close to being one of the most important missions. Can think of dozens right off hand that were far more important.
When will Obama leak the dead Osama photos? October 30th?
