A former Navy SEAL who participated in the raid on Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan hideout last year said the al-Qaida leader was shot dead because his arms were hidden and he may have been holding weapons.
Appearing Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” the author of the recently released book, “No Easy Day,” said one SEAL fired after seeing a man's head poking into a hallway. He said he and another SEAL shot bin Laden again after finding him on his bedroom floor with a bullet in his skull, because bin Laden's hands were hidden.
Navy SEAL charity turns down proceeds from bin Laden book
That's more detail than was included in the book, written under the pseudonym Mark Owen.
CBS altered Owen’s appearance and voice for the broadcast.
The Navy SEAL's controversial account of the Bin Laden raid goes on sale today. NBC's Danielle Leigh reports.
Commander: Navy SEALs reveal too many secrets
Pentagon officials say bin Laden was only shot after fleeing into his bedroom, and have threatened legal action against Owen for possible releases of classified information.
Owen denies claims of political motivation for the book.

Let's be honest, they were going to kill him no matter what.
That said we will never know the full truth for it will greatly be distorted and biased. Let's move on and forget it because our government is full of liars and cheats on both sides of the aisle.
We do not have the whole story but we do know this former SEAL broke his security agreement and wrote this for profit and on political motivation. He should face the full wrath of DOD and DOJ for this blatant violation of his oath and non-disclosure agreement. He has shamed his fellow SEALS by putting this POS book out. He is a traitor to his country and his fellow SEALS. I hope all SEALS blackball this POS! It seems like the blackballing has started since the Charity for SEALS has been turned down from the proceeds of the sale of this book deal. The money is all his since no one wants blood money and ill gotten gains. A traitor to his country and his President not to mention comrades.
Well Intellect, not very intellectual considering Obama identified the covert unit responsible for the operation. Obama invited movie makers to the White House so they could make a movie about it. Obama none the less acknowledged the existance of a covert stealth helicopter, and for that matter it sure wasn't this SEAL that tried to politicize that mission, or do you need a reminder of the famous "I gave the order to GO." speech following the conclusion of the mission. 2ndly, the SEAL was donating ALL of the proceeds from this book to a veterans charity. As far as being a traitor, NO SITTING PRESIDENT, until Obama has ever confirmed the Identity of a Covert Operations Force. So I would be careful about traitors, when the CIC broke the cardinal rule concerning the CLASSIFIED IDENTITY of ALL COVERT OPERATIONS FORCES.
And remember this, NO SERVICEMAN swears allegiance to the President. They swear an allegiance to this Country, to protect it from all enemies FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. Obama is no KING for anyone to swear allegiance to. The OFFICE he holds is the representative for his boss, THE PEOPLE. Keep that in mind.
he should be able to say whatever he wants. @!$%# the govt secrets.
BS, there was nothing confidential in the book or the interview. All the information was previously reported. All Matt did was put together what he recalls as the truth. One of his reasons was to set the record straight because there were various false accounts out there.
By God that's the way to set him straight Will. Obunghole already let the cat outta the bag on day one to make himself look good.
dead men tell no tells... bin ladin side of the CIA story...the arabs are still laughing...
Who started this get the glory bull @!$%#, I believe it was the Obama ass holes. If one person can make political hay out of The military service, why not those who risk all. I support the right of Service members to correct the so called political truths. I am a retired service person and it pisses me off when politicians try and take advantage of the honorable service by Patriots.
Why wasn't he brought back alive like Saddam was and tried? Why did Obama have him killed? Was he armed? It sounds like Bush did a better job of administrating justice.
@ Intellect , He will not get the money! that has been determined. as far as being a traitor? no more then you. definitely not more then Obama, he leaks things constantly, especially if it will help his campaign, hell its probably Obama's book for all we know, ghost writers are invisible.
Bin laden is dead that's what matters, now you want to hang the guy that helped get him. lets let the legal system determine the outcome and you just relax, smoke some more hash and get a grip on your feelings.
who cares, thank you for shooting him. and thank you mr president for sending them.
He's a GD traitor! A wolf in sheeps clothing, hell, probably the GD Anti Christ.
Robert...Ozzy.......it was repubs that started the fake glory crap nonsense. u tube the video when PRESIDENT Obama announced the death of Bin Laden. You will find PRESIDENT Obama giving credit to all people involved.
Next thing you need to do...is u tube a few 911 videos and remind your brain what happened to America because Bush ignored the warnings and gave a snide remark to the person who delivered the info to him that the guy did his job, and to leave. Watch the people jumping to their death from the towers.....
If you have to politicize Team America for killing Bin Laden, and it includes PRESIDENT Obama, just to try to have your ilk hate the president to get Mitt the coward into office, you show the lowest form of life in America. Justice was served to Bin Laden, instead of rejoicing for those people who died that Bin Laden was killed, you spew hate because it was something positive the President accomplished. YOU WANT AMERICA TO FAIL, JUST LIKE BIN LADEN DID!

"We do not have the whole story but we do know this former SEAL broke his security agreement and wrote this for profit and on political motivation."

From the same liberal that hailed previous leaks as "our right to know"...
I agree,thanks for killing him,and Mr.President thanks for sending them.And if he wants to make money from it,so be it,he deserves it and the rest of the guys in on it should have gotten in on it too.Its called the american way.
You are absolutely correct that they were going to kill bin Laden no matter what. Immediately after the bin Laden compound raid, Leon Panetta, US Secretary of Defense, told the media it was a kill mission from start to finish. The US government chose not capture him and bring him back to justice in America, because he would have to have been legally extradited through the Pakistani government. Remember that the Pakistani government was never told of the raid beforehand for fear that they would continue to protect bin Laden from American capture. However. because bin Laden was classified as an enemy combatant he was fair game for a military kill. These Seals who say he was shot because he posed a threat to them are not being forthcoming abut the purpose of the raid, which was to kill bin Laden, haul his corpse out of there and dump it at sea.
Glad someone is stirring the pot over the entire Bin Laden glory hunt!
Obama was way out front claiming credit, you would have thought he was lead on the conga line that kicked in the door!
One and Done, bye bye Barry!
Did Bin Laden try and ....capture..... people from the 911 attacks...or just outright kill all of those thousands of people? End of story.
At this point the biggest terrorist crazy douche in history aside of hitler is dead. And those who wanna cry "poor osama bin laden wasn't armed" and throw political crap that means nothing can kiss mine.. None of the people in the twin towers, or airplanes that hot the buildings, or the locals in the areas of afghasistan that die every day still are armed either, and they are all dying because of of osama.. Screw him and who gives a flying "f" who said "do him in" its over.. One less cruel tyrent gone. get over the politics and start realizing what his death really meant. Obama did good by getting it over with.. one thing no one else had the balls to do....... He did this world a favor...
Is it okay for Sean Hannity and the Faux News Network to unleash a "SWIFT BOAT AGENDA" against Obama. Obama do like Kerry and sit by and take it or worse yet, they tell a False News Network account of the raid, over and over, until the Sean Hannity version sticks and have the whole world believe it the FOX News Way.
OZZY..both the Obamas have nothing but contempt for the USA. One of the first orders Obama gave was to paint over the flag on Air Force One. The other day it looked to me like the flag was back. Not a good look at it...if so, purely political and it will be gone again on November 7th.
So far no one has mentioned that with the White House leak the doctor that led the Seals to the location of bin Laden is now serving 30+ years in prison. Did I miss it or has nothing been done by this administration to on behalf of the doctor? Who would assist us now?
It was a coordinated effort between the Commander in Chief, Obama, and the Navy Seals.
This guy has it "in" for Obama for some reason.
Never remember a similar operation where the Navy Seals come forward and write books about sensitive issues. They are supposed to be the Heroes in the background, doing their awe-inspiring jobs.
The President is boasting a bit much too, but it was quite a day when OBL was finally assassinated.
Thank the Drones, too, and the deaths of all the other High Level Terrorists.
Do you think Osama Bin Laden would have given a second thought about putting a bullet in your child's head? Your mother's? Your sisters? How about your brother's? If you're having a sudden bout of self-righteousness, or a coincidental case of morality, try picturing the flaming carcass of one of your family members or friends after a suicide bomber just ran into a mall or blew up a plane. The irony for me, is that a month ago, a bunch of SEAL's made a huge public declaration about how "upset" they were, because confidential information had been leaked about the operation "by Obama and his administration." Now one of their colleagues has published a novel about the operation, that I can read over coffee and a spinach wrap at Barnes and Noble.
Co Co...WRONG.
Air Force One still looks like Air Force One. Obama had his personal campaign plane painted just before the Presidential election. It had a stylized flag on it, not a standard one. McCain did the same thing.
You believe any crap you're fed, scares me to think you're part of the electorate.
The bottom line being that Osama Bin Laden is dead. I'd have shot him on sight without hesitation regardless of any outstanding order. Getting in and out was imperative and a dead body is much easier to transport than a live one. Saddam was turned in and the locale circumstances were much differant that with Bin Laden. This Seal's fate is entirely the DOD's responsibility. Not the President's or anyone elses.
The writer claims there are no secrets in it but, but if there are no secrets in it, then why did he forgo the screening? I have respect and admiration for all who serve, having served myself. But I also know that loyalty to your country and comrades comes before yourself. He is putting other brave men at risk by revealing too much and I feel he should be prosecuted for that. If the DOJ lets this slide, then our national security will mean nothing from here on out if people can reveal anything with no consequence. He betrayed his oath, and he betrayed his brothers in arms. He should not have done that.
Bin Laden was killed ( if he was ) for the same reason Saddam and some others were. The U S government had no more us for him.
To me, the order to kill Osama bin Linden was a huge mistake, regardless who gave the order. I believe it was far more productive to watch and observe him and his followers.
After the deed was performed, the USA gave detail information on how, whom, and with what to the world. We gave away our secrets.
ozzy...a little delusional I would say when you say PRESIDENT Obama hates America. President Obama...made the correct decision when he decided to send the Seals in. How many times did Ike and president hold back D day until it was the right time to launch attack..duhhhhh..Obama made the right decision at the right time. Bush quit, and Romney treated Bin Laden as a corporate profit loss object, Romney said no , it costs too much to track Bin Laden down.....
Remember how Bush made fun of the troops pretending to look under furniture for lost item at press dinner.? Then he walks back to podium and grins and says No WMD's there!"....real funny lying about WMD in Iraq, then killing thousands of our troops and wounded thousands more , then laughing in our faces, the veteran faces, big joke...killing our troops for war profit and glory in Iraq!
coco is cuckoo for cuckoo puffs...contempt....laughable.....
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... I wonder how the story about the "Battle of Little Bighorn" ( Custer's Last Stand) would read if we had the same "secrecy" rules that we have today?
What Battle? ...
George who? .. he was trampled to death by a buffalo ......
Get a grip ..... This "Secrecy" crap has gone to far ... protect "SECRETS" not "BULL@!$%#!"

Whether bin Laden was armed or not, it was very necessary for our government to kill him rather than bring him to trial because a trial would have risked his acquittal of all 9/11 charges.
Why?
Because not only did bin Laden consistently deny doing 9/11 - he blamed a government within the government of the United States - but the FBI says it has NO hard evidence connecting bin Laden to it (which is why 9/11 wasn't mentioned on its Usama Bin Laden's Most Wanted page; the video showing a stout man who is supposed to be the always thin bin Laden is a fake http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/fiveisraelis.html). In addition, a trial risked revealing why Bush tried so hard to prevent any investigation of 9/11; why Bush, under intense pressure from the families of the victims, finally permitted a severely limited one; how novice pilots were able to perform the intricate maneuvers required to knock down 3 skyscrapers with just 2 planes, with all 3 falling in their own footprints; why Bush and Cheney refused to testify under oath, even in private, to 9/11 investigators; and why half of these same investigators, citing a pattern of administration lying and noncooperation have called their own report a cover-up by that administration (several of the investigators have since called for a new, independent investigation).
However, since so many Americans sincerely believe the official 9/11 story, there was far more to be gained politically by killing bin Laden than by having an embarrassing trial.
He was killed, instead of captured, to keep his mouth shut about his dealings with the US government and all of the things which would prove embarrassing to past leaders (Pre-Bush, both father and son).
Hows about this and hopefully some of you will gain some education with what I am about to say:
I did serve in Special Warfare for a very long time. We do follow the commander in chief, we do not have to like him but we do have to listen to him. that being said we, in special warfare/special forces, do have a "contract" that we take what we do/did with us to the grave. it saves those that are still doing the deed today. We are not to write anything without first sending it through government channels to ensure opsec is followed.
Those of you that say "he was donating all of the proceeds to a veteran fund" and "he wanted to get the story out because of all of the stories out there and untruths" you are living in a dream world. We never care about what the stories are because the only ones that can prove or disprove is those in that mission and that is all. It never matters to us what is said because as long as no one kicks adn screams at a camera, it will eventually disappear into thin air never to be talked about again.
This guy broke the cardinal rule and placed his teammates in danger, those that still do the deed today and he should not only be punished for what he did, he should receive nothing from the book proceeds and should have to return to his Team to apologize to each and every warrior that he put in jeopardy and let them take care of justice as it should be. Those in the family should be punished by family and it should be no one elses business.
Those of you who play your call of duty and halo or whatever video games that think you know something about operating, you are a very sad case. How about get off of your couch and go serve your country and then you can run your mouth, otherwise, snag another twinkie and stuff it!
Bin Laden Dead. Us alive. Good enough for me. Glad our president ordered them in. Glad the Seals were well trained and did what they were trained to do.
Seems a little odd that this guy puts all that work into the book and then all of a sudden NOW he changes or adds to his story about the "hands hidden." He made it sound like it was an assasination in the book (not that I could care less) but then all of a sudden now he says he may have been a threat. I have a feeling some of his buddies in the Seals were pretty pissed off that he made it sound like they were not actually in danger and decided to just off the guy just for fun.
I have great respect for the seal team. None for this douche who puts future teams in danger by telling the world what and how they did it.
Nobody has brought forward a copy of a signed "contract" between this soldier and the government. Why?
The 1980 Supreme Court decision that enabled seizure of profits for a book pertained to a CIA agent (spy), not to a soldier as in this SEAL case. I don't think Obama and the Justice Department want to prosecute a soldier, or seize the soldier's profits. The whole story has been re-enacted on satellite news broadcasts anyway. So the SEALS built a scale maodel of the house and practiced, so what?
Another piece of the story we have been fed is that Bin Laden was buried at sea within 24 hours of his demise in accordance with muslim preferences. Wikileaks did put up high placed emails about Bin Laden's body not being buried at sea, rather the body was put on ice and shipped to Maryland.
One of the first orders Obama gave was to paint over the flag on Air Force One.
Nonsense thats a lie and has been proved to be false.
http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2012/02/wheres-the-flag/
A little more research shows that what really happened was that Candidate Barack Obama in 2008, traveled in an Obama campaign aircraft that didn’t have an American flag on its tail after a new paint job. It wasn’t Air Force One.
Once more the right wingers jump all over a non story and promote fiction as fact. On the dite above is proof positive this was only fodder for fools who run around posting any negative that is posted on their right wing blogs. As far as this guy and his book what difference does it make. They went there to capture or kill Bin Laden end of story because wh cares how they did it. The trash is dead.
Why shouldn't the seals get credit. "The only reason" their identity was hidden was for "their own safety." So if he wants to risk his own safety and isn't putting other servicemen at risk by what he shares, then I say this seal is a hero and thank him for his part in ridding the world of the animal that turned a normal beautiful September day into the most horrifying grief filled day our country ever experienced. Mark Owen thank you for your service and it's a shame we can't know your real name.
@so rough so tough I agree with your sentiment, but one of the points that seems to have been lost is that we in America proclaim ourselves the country of justice, as the example for the rest of the world to follow. That means we claim to have a higher standard for justice. It creates a quandry for me when my instinct is to get rid of something (someone) creating such violence, while my conscience, created mostly by the combination of religion and American upbringing, says even the worst should receive their day in court.
Just glad he is ridden from earth.
When you want something done right, elect a democrat.
What have you been smoking? You must be too young too remember Nov 1979 when Iran declared war on the US when it invaded our sovereign territory (The US embassy) and killed US Marines and held hostages. What did the peanut farmer do, he sat with his thumb up his ass. Later an attempt was made to free the hostages, that failed.
BTW the current leader of Iran was one of those involved in the invading of the US Embassy.
@concerned veteran
And you conveniently forget we started it first by plotting an overthrow of their government from the basement of our embassy, installing the tyrannical Shah, in the 1950s. If we were them, we'd have invaded and kidnapped those embassy people too. They were trying to prevent another CIA plot from that embassy...which BTW we know was underway. They didn't know that for sure, but happened to guess right...and by our CIAs track record, it's always a good guess they're overthrowing some govt no threat to us AT ALL.
How many wars do you justify by acting like our nation isn't murdering people who are no threat to our populace? How many wars have we provoked that you blindly say are the "enemies" fault?
Nationalism and statism are mental problems...and not akin to patriotism. The nation-state is not the countrymen. Wake up...and stop looking for some foreign brown people to deplore because some sociopathic habitual liar in Washongton tells you to.
Bin Laden Dead. Us alive. Good enough for me. Glad our president ordered them in. Glad the Seals were well trained and did what they were trained to do.
Seems a little odd that this guy puts all that work into the book and then all of a sudden NOW he changes or adds to his story about the "hands hidden."

ProIndividual:
It simply amazes me how people can be so foolishly fearful of a country that still uses its hands to wipe, but completely ignore their own government's movement to fascism and loss of our own liberty, doing more damage to our country than any "terrorist" boogeyman.
I'm curious Radcliffe4, how is it you know what's an innuendo, a half-truth and drivel? What makes you an expert? Just asking?
Gee, after going back and reading COMMON SENSE_NOT2COMMON's diatribe, I expected him to end it with "And you can't handle the truth!".
Somethings missing in this account.
OKAY Brad WHAT is missing you TWAT?!?!?!
If I didn't see his hands, I would have shot him. You think you can trust a guy who targets innocent children to die ? Who waits till the emergency responders get there to fly another plane into a building ?
That's right you you freakin twat. Still needing some donkey balls to go with that big cock in your ass?
What happened to the story that he was using one of his wives as a human shield and that the seal team needed to shoot through her to hit him? Now the seal is basically saying that Osama was already shot in the head before they even saw his face. Paraphrased .. we saw a hand .. we shot at a hand.. we entered the room and fired again into the body just to be sure.. even though Osama was already killed with a head shot. Which story is true? You can never believe any of this shyte. And Pat Tilman died a hero as well and not from friendly fire right?
and your point Babbabooie is??? and are you awarwe that he is one of the masterminds whos killed 3000+ AMERICANS on 9/11/01???? you j@ck@ss!!!
Babba....other Seals have a little different story of what happened........Bin Laden and friends/family could have been wearing bomb vests, seals covered every possible option imaginable. They had already been fired upon.....can't see his hands, women jumping in the way aggresive... unlike Afgan women did....choice them or me...I choose them. No two people see them same event the same...Did Bin Laden give those that died in attack on America a chance to be taken captive?.........How did that trial go for all those people killed in 911 attack? Oh that's right, they had none!
Romney said it was too expensive to try and find Bin Laden, then when Bin Laden is killed he says he would have made the same decision.........Flip Flop....What a joke.....
I am amazed at the amount of armchair operators we have here now ....never ceases to amaze me, actually gives me a giggle now and again.
The mere fact that as soon as their feet were on the compound they were firing at those that were inside the compound that knew it was about to go down. The Team did what they needed to do and when they had to do it. Do not forget, when we are on someone elses property, then we are the enemy. Too many times people think we Americans have rights in other Countries. Tell you what? Go to another Country and start doing what you want and when questioned go ahead and tell them that you are an American and "you have rights" hahahahha see what happens......
Also, the fact that the president immediate started with the "I" and "we" that is when I lost what little respect I may have had for him. Every day, we are doing something that would make most of you pee a little. Every day! What do you have to contribute? Your freedom of speech. The ability to run your suck whenever you want and your dim expectations of thinking that others think you are smart with your ramblings. Good luck on that one.....
His story is too slanted to not be a swift boat attempt to negate some of the President backing from this incident plain and simple. Of course he is going to say its non political. Why should any of us care whether he was armed or not. In his position I am sure he wanted to be a martyr anyway and not be held up for a trial.
Also, the fact that the president immediate started with the "I" and "we
More nonsense and I am sure from your posts you have no respect for the President and from your rant which is nonsense he probably does not want it. How else do you answer a question that demands an I or we. In retrospect I cannot remember obama taking that much credit for this. First he offered Bush a chance to take a victory lap. He then went on to praise everyone who participated in this. One more Republican mess cleaned up by a Democrat.
Midnightridr, you are suspended for a week for violating rule # 1 of the Code of Honor.
And we care why??? He didn't care that 3000+ people died because of his dirty beliefs... good rddance to this POS.... lets move on with life...
911truth.org (its called thinking for yourself)
and you are one of the many douchebags who lick the sweat off of Micahel Moores taint
I am glad they did get him, as it does bring some closure to the many that have lost loved ones due to this tragic event.
and FOK you libs for caring about they way he died!!! you all nee dot be sharing the same grave too!!!
Why didn't they capture him? They didn't assassinate Saddam, (and that is exactly what the mission was an assassination plain and simple they never had any intention of a capture) they captured him and he went to trial and he was responsible for just as many deaths as bin laden. I guess the gov can make up the rules as they see fit. Glad the world doesn't have to worry about him anymore but a murder is a murder either way you look at it.
Geez T3, miss your meds today?
Geez Bob miss your wife's sweet arse today? I didn't!
Hey both... yo have it right... BOTH your mom and YOUR dad suck!... Don't bring @!$%# up that was apart of Bush's run.... It may have took Obama 3 years...BUT... it took Bush ALL of the 7 year lef tof his Presidency and hs DIDN't get the job done. Enough said! have a nice day!!!
T3dr1c; you had to be high on something or dead drunk making such an idiotic post. With The dr in your if you are a doctor I sure pity your patients. Of course You are one of the fool teabaggers that has almost ruin our country.
Hey Clayton- All I am saying is he killed thousands of AMERICANS and the fokkin libs/tree huggers/whatevers are bitching on the way our boys found and killed him... THEY believe he needs to have a peaceful death when he would NOT afford that on ANY of us.... Rememeber HE and his Al Quiada WOULD NOT disquindish and AMERICN whether we be in combat uniform or civilain clothes.... think about that before you spout your mouth off!
T3.... are you delusional or high? You do realize that it was a LIBERAL president who sent the troops in to kill Osama right? You do realize that it is Fox (Faux?) news that is pushing this "secret seal's" version of the story right? The left wing could give 2 sh!ts about whether he was captured or killed. And as a liberal, i prefer killed, brought back to life and killed again. It's the right that is causing all of this unneeded drama in order to try to discredit Obama's decision, the Military leadership and the other people involved in the raid in order to try to pain the people in the white house as the bad guys. So you are welcome in advance for me correcting your borderline idiotic statements.
and YOU go ahead and think about spelling and grammar lessons! then we can get you the rage counseling you need.
We will never know OBL's connection to B.H.Obama with OBL dead, however.
I have heard of low IQ's I never knew there could be a minus till I read your statement
We DO, however, know LOTS about the connections between the families bin Ladin and Bush . . .
Took to long to get him...
Ozzy, from reading your posts, I can tell that you are the biggest fool that ever walked this earth. However, no need to despair for I can tell a lot of your kin like Bill K-1567373, T3dr1c, BothPartiesSuck-3407664, and some others have the same lack of intelligent problem.
T3dr1c, sorry. I didn't mean to include you in my comment above. You are one of the few on this thread that have sense. You have a big task trying to enlighten these idiots.
Who really cares what happened to him, the sleaze ball is dead, let the SEALs have their due. It was a rough mission and they succeeded, I salute you team members, job well done!!!
The Seals done their job, period.
The Goverment will never give the full accounting and truth.
It don't make Obama look good, it makes the Seal Team look good.
No, but Obunghole from $hitcago tried with every fiber of his being to grab all the glory.
Dobi Why doesn't it make Obama look good he gave the order to go get him. Why didn't bush go get him he had several chances to give the order and failed to do so. THANKS OBAMA A GOOD JOB DONE
Why didn't Clinton allow him to be taken out? Before 9/11??? Lack of proof, my ass!
Because 911 had to happen in order for the bastards to have an excuse to start steeling our freedoms away from us. The first domino to fall taking the US out of the picture in order to usher in their GD one world gov.
All you Rebubs need to crawl back under you mom's teats... You want the rest of the USA to believe your hippocracy and lies... That is why your boys Romney and Ryan will not be a part of the Jan 20, 2013 ceremonies... Your party cannot tell the truth EVEN if the facts jumped up and kicked each and everyone of you in the TAINT!
You are a fuggin taint, the a$$hole side at that.
Wait - the president is the commander in chief. No operation gets going without him giving it a go ahead! GW Bush did it with Iraq and Afghanistan. You might as well question the wisdom of Bush first decision. As for eliminating OBL, had the operation failed, you would be writing very silly things than the ones appearing here!
the Teams, BN's, Units, Etc do not need to look good. they do the deed because very few have the ability, the fortitude or the inner strength to carry out some of the missions. This is what makes us the elite and not the norm. That being said we also do not ask for thanks or want recognition. We want to do our job and go home to our families.
Some of you seriously need to learn how to spell and write legible sentences if you want to be taken seriously. Oh....and if you had not served...... it is only an opinion that you offer and no one is asking to receive it.
I hate Obama with a passion (Romney sucks as well) but how does this book or anything else this guy says make Obama look bad. If anything this makes Obama look good. It was the first time I said ood job.
For these guys it was a mission,with a infamous target but not overly tough besides the in and out of Pakistan.No chance of bringing him back for trial,can you imagine the joke.Glad it is over,let Obama gloat,no big deal.....Going to be a long war with these terrorist,we won't win in our lifetimes.The more missions like this the better, with 7 billion plus people in world,hardly sensible to give any terrorist any value.
The opportunies were when Bush was in office you moron
so Clayton! why in the hell didn't BUSH get him then?!?!??!
Please.... obama did a good job? How's that? He did what anyone who received the Intel on obl would do " including my 7yr old grandson", give the order to take him down. So, obama did nothing special.
What I would like to know is if he cut a deal with the movie makers to play himself or maybe the trigger (The soldier who killed obl). He's so into himself I'm sure he made some kind of deal.
IQ below zero, how many stupid people write on these topics. I know TPOTUS has a pin on his jacket that says "I SHOT BIN LADEN". Now you stupid people have a new rumor to pass around.
Let's be honest. We don't need details. We don't need people that violate their oaths. We need to let it go. We remember 9/11, and Bin Ladin is dead.
Why wasn't he brought back alive like Saddam was and tried? Why did Obama have him killed? Was he armed? It sounds like Bush did a better job of administrating justice.
Speak for yourself Vicki, the American people not doing their jobs by not demanding answers and accountability from our jack booted mafiaized gov. is exactly the reason we have found ourselves in the GD shape we are in right now.
Did somebuddy say Osama was wearing a hoody?
One man down & many more to go, so goes the war on terrorism.
If Washington is truly going to make budget cuts they should start with those involved in prosecuting this hero.
p.s. I read the book earlier last week. Nothing confidential in it.
Let's face it, they killed him because he was bin Laden and he was a man. If he had been a woman, they would have gently taken her into custody.
Actually, it was Hiliary Clinton that convinced Obama that he HAD to get bin Laden.
To tell you the truth iI never saw a body like we did when the other leader was killed .They were both Muslims so why was they not treated the same way.I personally think bin Laden was dead a long time ago.
It's awfully strange to me that other than the fact that they broadcast his death all over the news, absolutely everything else about the matter is a big hush hush.
He's com'n right for us !!!!!
Maybe it makes him look bad because Obama lied about it in the first place. Obama's story made himself out to be a real "go getter", but it turns out he really didn't want to give the order to kill the POS, but only did so after several individuals pressured him to give the order.
Watching tihis compund for 5 years, that makes 2.5 under Bush and 2.5 under Obama. Unreal.
that sounds interesting....who pressured him to give the order?
Read the book, it's in it.
so ALL of you idiots are taking the word of some supposed Navy SEAL on why Obama didn't (supposedly) want to take out OBL??? You haven't asked yourselves... How would a Navy SEAL KNOW the Obama didn't want to take out OBL until pressured??? hmmm.....
T2dr1c,
RE: "You haven't asked yourselves... How would a Navy SEAL KNOW the Obama didn't want to take out OBL until pressured??? hmmm....."
THE Obama? Pressured?
Huhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! CUZ I just LOVE it when someone that can't form a lucid thought calls others an idiot - LOL
Based off of this and your other mean spireted Inane posts: Can you say "Asanise Arse? You Betcha...........
Gee, that's easy. Navy seals are easily diguised. This seal probably disguised himself as a chair in the oval office, and heard everything!
Hahahaha.......... Howie You keep barking like a Chiwawa and your endless spewing of nonsense is an insult to Rottie's everywhere!
How can a Fantasy be Dangerous? They're just keeping Obama's Endless Nonsense Story in the News the News! Just like the soon to be released Made For TV Oh Dark Thirty Movie Obama's White House has been working with the CIA Hollywood and the New York Times To "Beef Up" I ain't got NOBODY Obama's Emaciated Image?
Hmm well I guess even a Work of Fiction can divulge a secret or to but.........
Wake Up America all POMPUS Obama is trying to do is Back Door The Fantasy Of Bumbling Barry's I got USA bin NOBODY nonsense because if they raise the claim People will once again demand "Proof" where there is none!
Remember Back Door Barry was about to be Impeached Over Libya and that is the ONLY reason for this story at all...Magically the Impeachment Story Disappeared Almost as Fast as those Magical Seals did after the fact!
Fine you want to believe in Fairy Tails & Fantasies So be It But The Rest Of US Demand The Proof That Extraordinary Claims Require since there has been NOTHING so far but Smoke & Mirrors with Lies and More Lies from Barry Bush-Wacker since the Day He Took Office!
NOBODY just one more reason to Refuse To Re-Elect ANY UN Incumbent in November be they Democrat or Republican because they were all in on this SCAM.
Psst It's Time get Your Money Out Of Wall Street As Fast As Possible The Euro-Banister-Collapse Engineered By Wall Street Is Coming Soon!
Soros & Forbes pulled out already!
PS Howie..... You Still Haven't Explained why "Delta Force" The Trained Terrorist Extraction Unit Wasn't Used instead of the Silly Girls in the NAVY and Until Then YOU GOT NOTHING but Doggie Breath So STFU! Only bin NOBODY want's to hear your "Expert" Nonsense!
Too bad he wasn't captured alive. He would be the prime candidate for waterboarding along with other little tidbits such as using a sledgehammer on his balls, pull his beard out with pliers, have a bunch of Jews with their yamakas on gang bang his wife ( wives ) in front of him while singing "hava, ngilah hava ". I'm sure there's other just rewards for this scumbag !
If I was President I would have brought him back alive and tied him up in Times Square. Then let anyone crap of piss on him to their hearts extent.
and alot of pig blood
Why wasn't he brought back alive like Saddam was and tried? Why did Obama have him killed? Was he armed? It sounds like Bush did a better job of administrating justice.
@Mosin,
Repeating the same post over and over does not make it more attractive, objective, impact-filled or convincing, but only makes it sillier.
Should of filmed it and put it on PPV to give relief to 911 widows.
Keep believing this story when or if the true events of 9/11 and this computer gracphic raid your going to feel really stupid for falling for Bush's and Obama's lies. Regardless if you want to live in the real world or believe propaganda the worst laws in American history which mimics Adolf Hitler's reign is being put in place with 9/11 being the excuse. Wake up America the Patriot Act, the NDAA and this new cyber security executive order that's basically SOPA with a different name all in the name of security is going to target CITIZENS not some guy living in a cave in the middle east. Our economy is going to collapse and it was the Bilderberg Group members that came up with that plan not some Osama Bin Laden. The stimulus programs, these expensive wars, the continuation of the war on drugs no matter how many people say prohibition doesn't work, expansion of the military industrial complex, expansion of the prison industrial complex etc.... the government is destroying the economy on purpose not Al Qaeda that the current administration actually helped arm in Libya and now Syria (because they we're always on the payroll).
My sentiments exactly. By golly wizkid every word of that is truth. I can't for the life of me understand why others refuse to see or believe it.
Wizkid... get ot of mommy and daddy's basement and get with the REAL world
T3, you're the one that's gonna wake up outta your dream to the REAL world alright, and it's not gonna be much longer in the waiting.
OHHH why Midnight? Coz you beleive in the Mayan Calendar and that humnakind are ALL doomed on Dec 21st?!?!?!? TAKE OF THAT REDICOUSLY LOOKING REYNOLDS WRAP HELMET ALREADY!!!
Thank You Navy Seals for doing the job,and thank you President Bush for making it possible, and yes obama from the golf course you did say, What ,Who yes go ahead,who?
It was actually in the situation room in the WhiteHouse, and after the Admiral convinced him they could succeed, his exact words were 'do it". The really funny part is, no one wants to give him credit as he's the only person in the world that could authorize the mission, but if the Seals failed and they were killed, you would certainly blame Obama...
and there's Dave giving credit where it is NOT deserved & you are right Silvercc had they failed... ALL f the Repubs would be blaming Obama...
Hey,
Obama's drones fail everyday killing innocent people. I don't see him getting the bum rap for that "kill list"...
Doesn't seem to bother him either.
You seals don't have to explain this to anyone. You guys did a great job! He is dead so who cares? He got what was coming to him. I don't care if you buried him at sea or chopped him up and fed him to dogs nor do I care if you guys pissed on his dead body before burial. The United States under Obama did what that piss ant George the AWOL draft doger didn't have the balls to do.
You can thank Bush for the good counterterrorism policies that were put in place in 2001. This really does stretch over two presidencies.
one of the most unusual things about the bin laden death, bush did not make any comment at all for almost two weeks, then a prepared text was released, the really most bizzarre thing was that for years the usa ran advertisements all over the area from pakistan to the far reaches of who knows where, the advertisement was for the bin laden reward, and had a phone number to call. curious thing about the phone number, it didn't work in the countries that all the advertising had been going on in, it was valid only in the usa.
one the one who dont have balls is that pissant ( your boy) obame,and the one who should get credit is george bush and our great military,not obame,he does not deserve any credit just like the seals said and i read the book as well,the books everyone should read is obame's america and the amature,liberals should not read them though ,will be over your heads
I don't believe you've ever read any book, hillbilly.
Most likely this SEAL will be a target. My prayers are with him.
FRANKLY, I'd have expected one HELL of a GOOD EXPLANATION if they HADN'T plugged him.....
Why wasn't he brought back alive like Saddam was and tried? Why did Obama have him killed? Was he armed? It sounds like Bush did a better job of administrating justice.
Didn't you read that his hands was hid and they wasn't sure what he may have had in his hands. Bush had several chances but failed to attempt taking him alive or out. I don't care what ever Obama would do good or bad you ugly moronic teabaggers would sqawk and call it a failure. Never seen the republican party so hateful before a black man was elected. !! Sure aren't christians they claim to be.
lol bush couldn't even find him. lol the only thing bush was good at was making defence contractors richer.
Mosin,
Saddam was tried by an Iraqi court, not a US Court. Why put more peoples lives at risk by bringing this sos back to the US for Trial? He was wanted Dead or Alive, at no time were we obligated to give him a Trial. He bragged about sending in those Airliners.
I want to know why we as a Nation have allowed Clinton to walk away without being held accountable for 9/11. They knew Bin Laden was behind other terrorist attacks and planning on taking out the US. Imagine, a World without the 9/11 legacy. Instead people get all goofy when ever this former POTUS sos shows up to some political event. We suffer from short term memory disease. That will be the death of us.
It ain't got nothing to do with the mans color Clayton, it's his GD ideology, he's a GD traitor, he's ripping this nation apart at the seams, and he ain't no GD black man for the millionth time, he's a mulatto. You know what that is? Half white you fuggin dim wit!
You're so full of it.
Ozzy your are either lying or ill informed. The appearance of Obama on Meet the Press the day you quote is not true. Period. Anyone wanting to check this out can google it and get the true source behind the "quotes" that Ozzy is posting. It started with a satiricle article, evolved into an internet hoax and then an email hoax. Obama never said those things. LOOK IT UP AND BE INFORMED. Remember, the internet is full of misinformation and this is one.
Hey Deborah...
Keep drinking the Kool-Aid.
Sept 7th 2008 on meet the press----> TRUTH
