This entire story and that part of Miniter’s book is just pure nonsense.
Anybody remember Dr. Afridi? We recruited him to get into bin Laden’s compound under the guise of a hepatitis inoculation program. That op was needed because we just weren’t sure whom were in the compound.
That op involved 25 tasking and travel contacts with our CIA team in March and April of 2011. After that op terminated mid-April, and we had acquired enough other intel, we waited until the next dark of the moon that occurred on May 2, 2011, the day of the raid.
It’s all a matter of record and science. Obama made the call, that any responsible President would have done. I am no fan of Jarrett but we make ourselves look foolish with pathetic attacks like this.
I am tired of all these “insiders” writing no better than trash novels with a laughable lack of research.
....and how much of it is raw meat to bait conservatives into embarassing themselves?
