It is almost like they are trying to create doubt.

It sure feels that way doesn't it?

There’s some bad wording in that sentence, there.

This story is even stranger than the one about the guy wearing a bra and panties that stabbed a goat: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2715077/posts

As seen on TV, isn't the suspect who continuously changes his/her story ultimately found guilty of a crime??

THE crime at hand, or lying to investigators to cover something else up?

That’s what I’d heard, that Obama was watching the whole thing. They probably didn’t mean to let that out, knowing that there would be a clamor for the video. What are the chances that the intelligence guys wouldn’t want a record for futrue training?

I think they are trying to set the Seals up for a trial.

I’m not kidding. They have already tried to get a SEAL in trouble for assault. See the link below,

Makes us wonder what the group photo released by the WH of Obama, Gates, Clinton, et al, was then.

That photo initially gave the impression/caption that they were watching to SEALs in operation inside the bin Laden compound.

Now, I have to quote the dead Ted Kennedy: “Lie after lie after lie...”

Yesterday there were photos, and Senators/Reps were all over the TV news saying they had seen the photos. Some wanted them released; some didn’t.

Where they punked by Team Obama?

Oh I guess that is another change to the story!

And they wonder how conspiracy theories get started?

Good point.

“Mr Panetta also revealed that the US Navy Seals made the final decision to kill bin Laden rather than the president.”


They are posturing to throw these guys under the bus if need be.....

I think the confusion is probably caused by disagreements about what will be best for Obama’s poll numbers.

Their propaganda story is that Obama finally did what Bush failed to do. He nailed Obama! he brought an end to the war on terror. We can close down operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and go home now! Peace in our time!

On the other hand, they do NOT want their leftist voters watching Seals shooting an unarmed Obama down, following the President’s orders to kill him on sight. They don’t want people to see a bunch of gruesome assassinations ordered by Obama the peacemaker. They don’t want them thinking about Obama sitting there watching it all like a Saturday night movie or a basketball game.

The rush to take credit apparently fraught with inaccuracies, misspeaks, backpedaling, and triple-talk. What a leader. /s
