Officials described the reaction of the special operators when they were told a number of weeks ago that they had been chosen to train for the mission.
They were told, We think we found Osama bin Laden, and your job is to kill him, an official recalled.
The SEALs started to cheer.
The article you link provides no sourcing, simply "officials".
This is called setting the narrative. The government/media complex has been doing that all week. You've taken the bait.
So you take everything un-named "officials" are said to have said as truth. Sheesh.
When considering any part of this obamma/osamma story you have to keep three things foremost in your mind and then process the flood of (dis)information which has followed.
The three things not to be forgotten:
1.- They say they shot him in the face.
2.-They say they then dumped the body in to the ocean.
3.- They refuse to release the photos.
These 3 crucial facts make everything "officials" have told journalist mouthpieces nothing but disinformation.
This is how Pravda worked. Don't nod stupidly because a shill claims an "official" said it. Don't be a dupe.
Shot him in the face. Dumped him at sea. No photos. Why has your BS meter stopped working?
The guy in the 5 silent movies "officials" just released doesn't have the same face or hands as the last time the live OBL made a video prior to Tora Bora 12/01. Compare and see for yourself.
"Officials" lie. Here's just one you may recognize: "Islam is a religion of peace."

Yeah I agree. Don’t trust “officials” with specific claims. Trust vague assertions that “hands don’t match”, take those right at face value. That’s much more intelligent.
