The completely changing details about the assault have me really wondering what really happened and why the double accounts and what may have been gained by changing the original account to the second account. They are miles apart from each other.
You drink the KoolAid and I’ll wear my tinfoil hat.
I go by his track record-
the percentages say he’s lying
The only time a congenital liar lies is when he opens his mouth and speaks. People are so naive as to personality types. They do not understand that real evil exists and usually is cleverly disguised and every thing connected with a truly evil person you can bet your bottom dollar on will be twisted and evil at it's source.
If he didn’t have a gun or any weapon was it legal to kill him? He must have been trapped being on the upper floor. Why not bring him in alive. In our law even the worst criminal isn’t shot down like a dog when they are unarmed and have no where to go. I wonder what it may have been that they were afraid he would reveal. We should have taken him in and interrogated the stuffing out of him to get any possible information that we could have gotten out of him. A trial would have been justice drawn out and savored providing that he ultimately was put to death like Saddam H and Nazi war criminals. Killing him instantly was much easier for him than going through a long drawn out trial before being put to death would have been.
Panetta said they did not. THAT story keeps changing too. It is apparent from implication in most of the articles, that they did not watch it at all, and Obama etc, watched Panetta, or someone else, on a screen give updates.
Panetta told Lehrer neither he nor President Obama watched the actual shooting of bin Laden as it happened. Panetta spoke from CIA headquarters about the military intelligence operation that led to the al Qaeda leader's death.

Double Goat & Double Cross.
“I couldn’t care less. I’m just glad that he’s dead and that it was our military that killed him.”
Agreed. I hope someone in this administration is thinking about how to obscure how we got him so that we don’t compromise sources.
It's a war. "Our law" doesn't apply.
The Geneva Convention is more applicable. And, under the Convention, terrorists (or "illegal combatants") may be shot on sight.
As OBL evidently was...
BTTT
I agree. I have not heard anyone echo or even mention this point. What American law allows someone to kill another unarmed person? When police officers do this there is always an investigation and sometimes charges are brought against them. Shouldn’t they have tried to taser him or subdue him before they executed him?
Ditto
Even mouthpiece Jay Carney complained about being confused.
My aim, then, was to whip the Rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
War is cruelty. There's no use trying to reform it, the crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.
War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.

obama is the worst pos to ever serve in government... much less the White House. He will go down in History as the worst President and by a huge margin... and we have had a few extremely bad ones. He is the all time worst!

I'm getting sick of this crap. Anyone who asks questions is labeled a kook?
AFAIC anyone who accepts things without any questions is a brain dead fool.
And anyone who accepts what 0bowdown says at face value is a zombie.
There was a whole long thread yesterday trying to prove just that. It was troubling. It also tried to prove that Free Republic just sucks today and isn't like it was in the old days.
It seems that there are some malcontents here that still like to post but don't seem to like anybody else's opinions.
Amen to that! I'm sick of it too. It's starting to wear as thin as the race card.
