A blow-by-blow account of the Navy SEAL raid that took down Osama bin Laden has revealed that the al-Qaeda chief was unarmed and already dead when soldiers burst into his room in his Pakistan compound.
The book, No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama bin Laden, was written anonymously under the name Mark Owen, who was one of the SEAL Team Six members who saw the terror leader die in May 2011.
A copy of the book, obtained by The Huffington Post, says that the mission was quite unlike the popular version of what went on at the house in Abbottabad.
Owen wrote that a member of the elite squad saw the terror leader as he ducked into his bedroom, and the soldiers, who were climbing stairs to the third floor, followed.
He said: 'We were less than five steps from getting to the top when I heard suppressed shots. BOP. BOP. I couldn't tell from my position if the rounds hit the target or not. The man disappeared into the dark room.'

Yeah. . .and all those SEALS on the mission were in on the fraud.
And by dropping a JDAM on the compound you get no confirmation you actually hit the guy. . .and then there is the issue killing all the other people in the compound.
They found him hanging by the neck in a closet wearing a leather bondage outfit.
There are those that contend that Khalid Sheikh Muhammed was the actual “mastermind” of 9/11. You know: THAT KSM that Obama and his accomplice Holder want to ship out of Gitmo and bring his smelly azz to NYC where they could get some sleazy shyster to get him off on technicality. THAT KSM.
I have often doubted the historical accuracy of Hollywood war films myself.
Say, Hogan's Heroes...
(Point is, H'wood is in the entertainment business, not the documentary business - even if the underlying material is not pure fiction.)
Of course. Obama got there just before the Seals.
I kinda miss Binny’s audio messages with that 20 year-old “still” photo of him cursing “death to the infidels”
“Weekend at Bin’s”
Where’s the Death Certificate?
I don’t trust anything coming from this administration.
It will be interesting to see how Hollywood depicts the events in the upcoming movie in light with this information...
Josef Goebbels would envy the propaganda machine that Hollywood has become.
Ya, he was dead years ago, this is politics.
Some years ago I heard an acquaintance quote Wyatt Earp. I asked him where he had read it and he said it came from the movie, “Tombstone.” I told him he wasn't really quoting Wyatt Earp but some screenwriter. He just shrugged as if to say: What's the difference?

I know that. I was commenting on the fact that whoever wrote the article is woefully ignorant on what a soldier or sailor is. Both in the headline and in the body of the article, the writer referred to "soldiers"--I don't think the Army was even involved in the raid.
I thought that all their identities have been held secret?
The people who write the headlines usually aren’t the people who write the articles, so they probably missed that the “soldiers” were actually Navy SEALs.
The author is a retired Navy Seal
The book,... was written anonymously
My grandfather once told me: "Never trust a man whose last name is Anonymous".........
Just curious guys, why do you suppose this dude is writing this story "Anonymously"? Did you ever think for a moment that his real identity isn't going to come out? What then?
I'll tell you what then, if the dude is proven to be a phony, which I suspect he is, he will have already cashed out and laughing at every fool who bought his phony book.......
Personally, I happen to have faith in the members of our armed forces to maintain silence forever on issues of top secret importance which a legitimate raid such as this would have been, until the information of such a mission was finally declassified by the military. And for this guy to violate that security for his own personal gain tells me one of two things:
1. He is either a traitor
or
2. He is a phony........
I'm hoping he is a phony.......
Yeah, but it’s in the lead paragraph of the article, too. It’s a British publication; maybe the Royal Marines don’t mind being called “soldiers.”
