The Bin Laden raid was a work of fiction, and Barack Obama should immediately resign
Push Back U.S ^ | 5/11/2015 | Staff

Posted on 05/14/2015 7:22:16 AM PDT by HomerBohn

Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has uncovered one of the biggest lies in modern American history.

It turns out that much of what the American public was told about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden was a blatant lie. According to Hersh, Osama bin Laden had been captured by Pakistan all the way back in 2006, and he was being held by the ISI as a prisoner at the Abbottabad compound that the Seals ultimately raided in 2011.

In addition, Hersh says that the ISI and Pakistan’s military knew about the Seal raid in advance. Arrangements were made so that the Black Hawk helicopters could travel through Pakistani airspace safely, and the ISI guards at Osama bin Laden’s compound were pulled away before the Seals got there. And by that time, Osama bin Laden was reportedly in such bad health that he was essentially a cripple. There was no “firefight” at all – only a turkey shoot.

Afterwards, Osama bin Laden’s body never made it to the USS Carl Vinson for a “burial at sea”. That was all just part of the cover story according to Hersh. Of course the White House and Obama’s lackeys at CNN are strongly denying all of this, and they will continue to deny the truth for as long as they possibly can. But there are individuals in the U.S. military and in the U.S. intelligence community that can come forward and tell us what really happened. Let us hope that at least some of those individuals still care enough about this country to do that.

According to Hersh, one of the biggest lies that Obama told was that Pakistani leadership had no idea that the Seals were coming in. Actually, the truth is that the head of the army, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, and the director general of the ISI, General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, were both heavily involved in the planning of the operation. The following is an excerpt from Hersh’s article for the London Review of Books…

Pasha and Kayani were responsible for ensuring that Pakistan’s army and air defence command would not track or engage with the US helicopters used on the mission. The American cell at Tarbela Ghazi was charged with co-ordinating communications between the ISI, the senior US officers at their command post in Afghanistan, and the two Black Hawk helicopters; the goal was to ensure that no stray Pakistani fighter plane on border patrol spotted the intruders and took action to stop them. The initial plan said that news of the raid shouldn’t be announced straightaway.

All units in the Joint Special Operations Command operate under stringent secrecy and the JSOC leadership believed, as did Kayani and Pasha, that the killing of bin Laden would not be made public for as long as seven days, maybe longer. Then a carefully constructed cover story would be issued: Obama would announce that DNA analysis confirmed that bin Laden had been killed in a drone raid in the Hindu Kush, on Afghanistan’s side of the border. The Americans who planned the mission assured Kayani and Pasha that their co-operation would never be made public. It was understood by all that if the Pakistani role became known, there would be violent protests – bin Laden was considered a hero by many Pakistanis – and Pasha and Kayani and their families would be in danger, and the Pakistani army publicly disgraced.

When the Seals got to the compound in Abbottabad, bin Laden and his family were completely unguarded. That is because the ISI guards had already been pulled back.

Thomas Clement said it best:

This is all after the fact. Fact is that upcoming is the most IMPORTANT time EVER in the history of the United States of America. We cannot elect another Democrat to serve in the White House, and more importantly, the SKANK Hillery Rodham Clinton. If you think things are bad with this Black/White ISIS supporting Muslim President in the WH today, wait until these American Idiots elect Hitlery. Talking about the SHTF, we will be kissing the US goodbye forever. 12 years of Democrat Marxist leadership will NOT be a good thing. We MUST prevent this from happening AT ALL COSTS, even if it means a RE-Revolutionary WAR.

My theory is that we were after the paki nukes, but when we lost the helicopter we had to come up with a cover story.

There was no bin laden, thus no pictures or independent verification of his body.

Just my hair brained theory.

I have often wondered if the killing of OBL was real or made up...

You know when you have that feeling of ‘huhhhh’ yeah, that’s what I mean...

So if we didn’t kill him, where is OBL? Did the Pakistan people kill him, did they hide him, is he still alive????

These questions we need answers to, don’t you think?

If we find out that ZerO lied, can we impeach him and try him for treason and everyone in our government that went along with this?

The only problem I have with this story is having a VERY difficult time accepting that the Seals would go along with the phony narrative.

By now, someone in the Seals would have spilled the beans...

The team leader has said that Hersh is full of it, that things went down as claimed.

At the time something smelled fishy. I knew something just did not sound right because of the one picture I saw of King Obama sitting on the floor watching real time. I will never forget that picture and the look on his face told me this coward could never construct the raid on Bin Laden.

"Arrangements were made so that the Black Hawk helicopters could travel through Pakistani airspace safely"

The photos of the destroyed helicopter that I saw were definitely not of a Blackhawk. Were they faked?

Are the SEALS that have spoken publicly on this all lying?

While I put nothing past Obama, I'll need considerably more information on this one.

Here’s the issue....the new story? It comes from one and only one single source. It contains roughly twenty different accounts of what the general narrative has been. If it were just three pieces of the story which was different, and several characters came to back-up this new source....it might be believed.

Think about this....a Hollywood script writer would have to sit down and conceive the acceptable story....write forty pages of text, and then the forty people around the President would have to memorize this text, along with at least 250 military/intelligence personnel who were directly involved in the episode. I won’t say it’s impossible, but it just begs all kinds of questions if this whole new story were completely true.

My humble guess is that three pieces of the new account are somewhat true, and the rest is simply bogus stories.

At the risk of being an ‘I-told-you-so’, I always thought this story was bogus. ‘Buried at sea’? WTF??? I will go back to what I originally thought, that Bin Laden was killed at Tora Bora in 2002, the various videos released of him between that time and when he was supposedly killed in Abbotabad were faked, or filmed previously. I have found nothing, zero evidence, to contradict that. Why? Because various cliques in the U.S. government were in on it and didn’t want to be exposed. And that definitely predates the Oblahblah ‘administration’, such as it is.

There may have been a raid for him. All I know is I never saw a real body back here in this country where all could see, or at least some non-government representative(s) could see.

The other highly suspicious thing that sets me to thinking is the quickly organized and hasty burial at sea.

Maybe why no one has spoken up about the OBL Raid.

Congress has launched an investigation of the helicopter crash that killed 30 Americans in Afghanistan, including members of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team 6 unit, The Hill has learned.

The victims’ families say the Pentagon hasn’t provided answers to their many questions about the deadly attack, which took place on Aug. 6, 2011, three months after Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by Team 6 forces.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on National Security, told The Hill, “We’re going to dive into this.”

Chaffetz said he met with the victims’ families about a month ago in what he described as an “emotional” gathering. He is poised to send questions to the Pentagon and may hold hearings on the matter.

Charlie Strange, whose son Michael was among those killed, said he asked President Obama two years ago at Dover Air Force Base to fully investigate. The death toll in the crash was the largest of any single incident for the U.S. military during the Afghanistan war.

The entire episode was jarred out of kilter, in my mind, as soon as I heard of the expeditious burial at sea of OBL's body.

I haven't believed any press reports nor "witness" reports since!
