Navy SEAL Helmet Cams: Obama Watched bin Laden Raid Video Ian Yarett Fri May 6, 10:20 pm ET

NEW YORK – Navy SEAL Helmet Cams: Obama Watched bin Laden Raid VideoObama and officials in the White House Situation Room were able to watch the raid against bin Laden live, the Washington Post confirms. Ian Yarett on how helmet-cam combat video works. Plus, full coverage of bin Laden.

It was a picture that caught everyone’s attention. Sitting in the White House situation room, President Obama and his team appear to be breathlessly monitoring the raid that located and killed Osama bin Laden. But the image left many wondering: was the president actually seeing the operation unfold in real-time on the screen in front of him?

In a White House briefing on Monday, counterterrorism chief John Brennan said that he and the rest of Obama’s team were “able to monitor the situation in real time” and were given “regular updates” as the operation proceeded, but wouldn’t say whether there was a live video feed. Even though the government won’t confirm that the SEALs were wearing cameras, a military spokesman tells The Daily Beast that video is a routine part of many combat missions.

No blackout means they saw who killed OBL, how and other stuff. Better say blackout, even though everyone knows it’s a lie.

It's feasable that our community organizer in chief wanted a "capture live" mission, and the folks on the other end knew better.

That would explain the loss of signal if there REALLY was one, and maybe account for all the different versions we are now hearing.

It's way more believable that our military is 100% responsable for giving us the happy ending than crediting that bunch of rat pussies in Washington for ANY of this.

When have they EVER done anything right or even slightly patriotic? Just a few weeks ago the rat bastards were willing let the military go unpaid.

25 minute blackout? what version is this?

It's the version from Wednesday

Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, revealed there was a 25 minute blackout during which the live feed from cameras mounted on the helmets of the US special forces was cut off.

Frank, I see the popcorn bowl on Biden’s lap, but what is that amongst the laptops on the desk - turkey stuffing that escaped or a new crop of collards?

Sincerely,

Just mildly curious in South Carolina.

it's almost like they are putting out many different stories so that nobody will ever know the true account of what really happened...

[NWFLConservative]

From at least a half dozen sources I have read that there was approximately a 30 minute blackout, so NO, the did not watch the raid unfold LIVE.

Sorry, but I am hoising a large BS flag on this one.

[conservativesister]

what’s the picture on Hillary’s computer?

Excellent!
It's so obvious he came in late. He's not sitting in the POTUS chair.

In that particular picture, a blogger on Dr. Kate’s View said Obummer’s head looks too small in comparison to others in the room, and wondered if he was not even there and photoshopped in. Interesting thought.

This whole 72-versions thing has to be on purpose. There is some sort of disinformation campaign going on. Even Obama can't be this incompetent.

I concluded that early in the week, at version 12 or so. It just didn't make sense for them to keep changing to story so blatantly. Minor discrepancies one can understand in breaking news, but the WH has allowed too many vastly different versions to be aired.

Something smells, and it isn't 3-day-old fish.

When the group photo was first released, it came with the caption that they were watching live events. That revelation was to take the heat off Obama supposedly taking 16 hours just do give the mission a 'go' and to show he was actually involved.

“It’s almost like they are putting out many different stories so that nobody will ever know the true account of
what really happened.”

You hit the nail on the head. Obummer does this with everything...the birth certificate being a prime example. Misinformation, and lots of it.

[JouleZ]

Looks to me like they weren’t so intensely watching as they were suffering from allergies.

LOL! Hitlery and her excuses again. IIRC Heather Wilson watched the hanging of Saddam Hussein back when she was a Senator and I doubt she had an “allergy” moment but she was in the military so maybe that helped.

I guess I'm old school and still think a CIC should have served their country before being eligible for the POTUS position.

mis/disinformation - 101

[omega4179]

There was video before and after there was no video.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Whats coming next? They let Barry pull the trigger on OBL by remote control?

I was watching The Apprentice.A thing came across the screen that the President of the United States was going to speak in a few minutes.First I thought he's paying Trump back and then I thought something really bad happened.At 10:45 the news outlets came on live.They said the President had something to tell us.They knew what it was but didn't want to steal the President's thunder so would wait for the President to say it.Then they said the President was writing the speech and it might be a little while.Then they said Bin Laden was dead and the President watched it real time because the Navy Seals had cameras on their helmets.They said he was killed a week ago and they had to wait for the DNA tests before they could say it was him.So now was the time to tell us.He was dead a week-the President watched it real time-The DNA came in right in the middle of Trumps show.Hello-something stinks.I went to bed.Never hear the President.What a joke.They change the story minute to minute but how could you get that he was shot a week ago wrong.
