Certainly there are many versions of what happened, but the amount of people on this thread who have not paid attention, or who inject their own spin and call it fact is just stunning.

And disgusting.

So hussein and the gang just got together in the Situation Room to watch some basketball?????

The were watching a season of 24, but Biden was in charge of the DVDs and got discs from various seasons mixed together when he dropped them.

I can see where this is going to end:

The great 0bama, healer of the planet and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, will end up indicted for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court in the Hague. Maybe they'll indict Hillary too for good measure.

There's nothing like the delicious satisfaction I feel when Mr. Liberal gets the hoist on his own petard.

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.

I have no doubt that this is the truth. After all, O won the Nobel "Peace" Prize.

The thing that gets me is the absolute amateur hour this admin is.

My dad worked for the CIA and to this day he will only say the official company line about any questions I have ever asked him about his time in the intel community, "I cannot confirm or deny anything."

I grew up getting lectured to never tell anyone where my dad went to work, what my dad looked like, what my dad did at home,etc. The fear of God was put in me about ever talking about my dad and I was able to do that threw my entire childhood, and these people cant keep their traps shut for 10 minutes.

STFU!tell the world we found him, we killed him and then STFU!

Maybe Obama was implying a different meaning of the word, “go.”

The military planned the exercise down to a gnats ass, rehearsed relentlessly, and executed flawlessly. The WH on the other hand obviously winged it....and it shows.

It was not Osama Bin Laden, was it Leon Panetta? It was all a fabrication because we all know Osama has been dead for years.

Yes, he is dead, and has been dead for a long time.

A pox be upon you and your fellow communists.

If Obama were to be so brazen as to fake Osama’s death, would our highest military and the Navy Seals allow him to get away with this lie?

This is a serious question, and I would appreciate the comments of those who have experience with the military.

That Obama could fake such an event seems bizarre to me.

One of the other articles from a day or two back implied that what The Won and posse were watching was a feed from wherever Leon Panetta was (CIA headquarters in Langley?) and *they* had some sort of live feed from the SEALs, or were at least in communication with them. Now it sounds like there was no video, and Langley may have been getting relays through God knows only how many people.

This wouldn’t be as embarassing if the White Hut had gotten out in front on this and admitted that there was no video...or that OBL wasn’t cowering behind Wife #9...or that he didn’t actually have a weapon...etc. For a White House that’s in permanent campaign mode and one that controls the press so tightly, these people have turned this into a PR cockup of incredible proportions.
