The Rules stated you cant shoot an Unarmed Person, period. Im not saying im mad that hes dead. I was in the Army for 8 years, You dont shoot unarmed people and if he was unarmed shooting him was a violation, if the person giving the so called order to murder him was obama then he needs to be charged with murder. If he had a Weapon and could see that he had a Weapon then blow him away. You cant change the rules and laws to meet your own Needs. PERIOD

Now the Seals need to take out this other muslim prick and perhaps we will be able to get this nation back on track some time.

bin laden isn't dead. its surprising what you cattle believe. 911truth.org

if you are going to read these brainless articles, you can spend 5 minutes and be a TRUE american by doing some reading all by your own @!$%#ing self.

TIME TO STOP BEATING THIS INTO THE GROUND, the p-r--i--c--k killed thousands of innocent men, women and children, anyone who does not think this was justified should be deported from this country.

We should not allow our military folks to participate public media. Civilians are in charge here.

i can't believe they want to go after him for releasing classified information.the white house seems to release classified information anytime it benefits them

Congradulations to Seal Team 6 and all Seals, Green Berets and Special Forces.

come on now what did Bush do? absolutely nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! useless

Now get Ayman al-Zawahiri and lets call it a day..

The biggest Joke of the Year is that people actually think President Obama got Osama Bin Laden. Seal Team 6 are the heroes and President Obama merely said give it your best shot and good Luck while he hid in the White House under Secret Service Protection

Osama Bin Laden was killed within 90 seconds of the US Navy Seals landing in his compound and not after a protracted gun battle, according to the first account by the men who carried out the raid.The operation was so clinical that only 12 bullets were fired.The Seals have spoken out because they were angered at the version given by politicians, which they see as portraying them as cold-blooded murderers on a kill mission. They werealso shocked that President Barack 0bama announced Bin Laden?s death on television thesame evening, rendering useless much of the intelligence they had seized.Chuck Pfarrer, a former commander of Seal Team 6, which conducted the operation, has interviewed many of those who took part for a book, Seal Target Geronimo, to be published in the US this week.The Seals own accounts differ from the White House version, which gave the impression that Bin Laden was killed at the end of the operation rather than in its opening seconds. Pfarrer insists Bin Laden would have been captured had he surrendered.There isn?t a politician in the world who could resist trying to take credit for getting Bin Laden but it devalued the intelligence and gave time for every other Al-Qaeda leader to scurry to another bolthole, said Pfarrer. The men who did this and their valorousact deserve better.It?s a pretty shabby way to treat these guys.The first hint of the mission came in January last year when the team?scommanding officer was called to a meeting at the headquarters of jointspecial operations command. The meeting was held in a soundproof bunkerthree stories below ground with his boss, Admiral William McRaven, and aCIA officer. They told him a walled compound in Pakistanhad been under surveillance for a couple of weeks. They were certain ahigh-value individual was inside and needed a plan to present to thepresident. It had to be someone important. So is this Bert or Ernie? Heasked. The Seals nicknames for Bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri are a reference to two Muppets in Sesame Street, one tall and thin and the other short and fat. We have a voice print, said the CIA officer, and were 60% or 70% certain it?s our guy. McRaven addedthat a reconnaissance satellite had measured the targets shadow. Over 6ft tall.When McRaven added they would use Ghost Hawk helicopters, the team leader had no doubt. These are the most classified, sophisticated stealth helicopters ever developed, said Pfarrer. They are kept in locked hangars and fly so quiet we call it whisper mode.Over the next couple of months a plan washatched. A mock-up of the compound was built at Tall Pines, an armyfacility in a national forest somewhere in the eastern US.Four reconnaissance satellites were placed inorbit over the compound, sending back video and communications intercepts.A tall figure seen walking up and down was named the Pacer.Obama gave the go-ahead and Seal Team 6, known as the Jedi, was deployed to Afghanistan. The White House cancelled plans to provide air cover using jet fighters, fearing this might endanger relations with Pakistan.Sending in the Ghost Hawks without air cover was considered too risky so the Seals had to use older Stealth Hawks. AProwler electronic warfare aircraft from the carrier USS Carl Vinson wasused to jam Pakistan?s radar and create decoy targets. Operation Neptune?s Spear was initially planned for April 30 but bad weather delayed it until May 1, a moonless night. The commandos flew on two Stealth Hawks, codenamed Razor 1 and 2,followed by two Chinooks five minutes behind, known as Command Bird andthe gun platform. On board, each Seal was clad in body amour and nightvision goggles and equipped with laser targets, radios and sawn-off M4rifles. They were expecting up to 30 people in the main house, includingBin Laden and three of his wives, two sons, Khalid and Hamza, his courier,Abu Ahmed al- Kuwaiti, four bodyguards and a number of children. At 56minutes past midnight the compound came into sight and the code Palm Beachsignaled three minutes to landing. Razor 1 hovered above the main house, athree-story building where Bin Laden lived on the top floor. Twelve Sealsroped the 5ft-6ft down onto the roof and then jumped to a third-floorpatio, where they kicked in the windows and entered.The first person the Seals encountered was a terrified woman, Bin Laden?s third wife, Khaira, who ran into the hall. Blinded by a searing white strobe light they shone at her, she stumbled back. A Seal grabbed her by the arm and threw her to the floor. Bin Laden?sbedroom was along a short hall. The door opened; he popped out and then slammed the door shut. Geronimo, Geronimo, Geronimo, radioed one Seal, meaning eyes on target.                            At the same time lights came on from the floorbelow and Bin Laden?s son Khalid came running up the stairs towards theSeals. He was shot dead.Two Seals kicked in Bin Laden?s door. Theroom, they later recalled, smelt like old clothing, like a guest bedroomin a grandmother?s house. Inside was the Al-Qaeda leader and his youngestwife, Amal, who was screaming as he pushed her in front of him. No, no,don?t do this! she shouted as her husband reached across the king-size bedfor his AK-47 assault rifle. The Seals reacted instantly, firing in thesame second. One round thudded into the mattress. The other, aimed at BinLaden?s head, grazed Amal in the calf. As his hand reached for the gun,they each fired again: one shot hit his breastbone, the other his skull,killing him instantly and blowing out the back of his head.Meanwhile Razor 2 was heading for the guesthouse, a low, shoebox-like building, where Bin Laden?s courier, Kuwaiti, and his brother lived. As the helicopter neared,a door opened and two figures appeared, one waving an AK-47. This was Kuwaiti. In themoonless night he could see nothing and lifted his rifle, spraying bullets wildly.He did not see the Stealth Hawk. On board someone shouted, Bust him!, and a sniper fired two shots. Kuwaiti was killed, as was the person behind him, who turned out to be his wife. Also on board were a CIA agent, a Pakistani-American who would act asinterpreter, and a sniffer dog called Karo, wearing dog body armor andgoggles. Within two minutes the Seals from Razor 2 had cleared the guesthouse and removed the women and children.They then ran to the main house and enteredfrom the ground floor, checking the rooms. One of Bin Laden?s bodyguardswas waiting with his AK-47. The Seals shot him twice and he toppled over.Five minutes into the operation the commandChinook landed outside the compound, disgorging the commanding officer andmore men. They blasted through the compound wall and rushed in.                            The commander made his way to the third floor,where Bin Laden?s body lay on the floor face up. Photographs were taken,and the commander called on his satellite phone to headquarters with thewords: Geronimo Echo KIA Bin Laden enemy killed in action.This was the first time the White House knewhe was dead and it was probably 20 minutes into the raid, said Pfarrer. Asample of Bin Laden?s DNA was taken and the body was bagged. They kept hisrifle. It is now mounted on the wall of their team room at theirheadquarters in Virginia Beach, Virginia, alongside photographs of a dozencolleagues killed in action in the past 20 years.                            At this point things started to go wrong.Razor 1 took off but the top secret green unit that controls theelectronics failed. The aircraft went into a spin and crashed tail-firstinto the compound? The Seals were alarmed, thinking it had been shot down,and several rushed to the wreckage. The crew climbed out, shaken butunharmed.                            The commanding officer ordered them to destroyRazor 2, to remove the green unit, and to smash the avionics. They thenlaid explosive charges.They loaded Bin Laden?s body onto the Chinookalong with the cache of intelligence in plastic bin bags and headed towardthe USS Carl Vinson. As they flew off they blew up Razor 2. The wholeoperation had taken 38 minutes.The following morning White House officialsannounced that the helicopter had crashed as it arrived, forcing the Sealsto abandon plans to enter from the roof. A photograph of the situationroom showed a shocked Hillary Clinton, the secretary of state, with herhand to her mouth.Why did they get it so wrong? What they werewatching was live video but it was shot from 20,000 feet by a dronecircling overhead and relayed in real time to the White House and LeonPanetta, the CIA director, in Langley.                            The Seals were not wearing helmet cameras, andthose watching in Washington had no idea what was happening inside thebuildings.They don?t understand our terminology, so whensomeone said the insertion helicopter has crashed, they assumed it meanton entry, said Pfarrer.                            What infuriated the Seals, according toPfarrer, was the description of the raid as a kill mission. I?ve been aSeal for 30 years and I never heard the words kill mission, he said.                            It?s a Beltway [Washington insiders] fantasyworld. If it was a kill mission you don?t need Seal Team 6; you need a boxof grenades. Hooyah! As Paul Harvey would say: You now know therest of the story!Please pass this on to everybody in youre-mail address book.In God we trust! If you can read this?thank ateacher. If you are reading it in English?thank a Veteran.                            ABC                            -- 

Navy Seals did their jobs. God Bless the Navy Seals and my God protect them always. And the he!! with Al Qaeda and the rest of that scum. May they all die the same way. 1 shot to the head.

Thank you Intellect, I couldn't have said it any better. He should be shipped off to an isolated island and left to live alone in his traitorous misery. He has dishonored our service men and women and I am totally outragged with his actions. He has compromised our national security by allowing himself to be swayed by his own greed and arrogance to talk about a confidential mission. He has compromised his fellow servicemen, he is an @#$#. He needs the full legal authority of the DOJ and DOD all other departments if nessecary to persecute his actions. What next, selling our secrets online to the highest bidder because you don't like this administration. SERIOUSLY??? Our enemies are loving this. WE ARE AMERICANS and we donot yield to politics when it comes to our great nation!!!

"he couldve been hiding a weapon" BS yea right, thats the same thing cops say after they shoot a black kid. how was an old man a threat to those extremely armed young navy seals....@!$%# that, they just did it on purpose most likely so they can get a jingoist public behind their "great leader"....

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.

This was an extremely dangerous person why would you bring him back alive.
Alive and imprisoned he would become a rallying cry for his maniacal tribe of idiots to inflict terror attacks on the U.S. I think the call was to shoot on sight. That is what they appear to have done and the burial at sea was the end of it. The Seals performed heroicaly and the planners and support was adequate. Proud of our military that they are able to carry out such dangerous missions. They need to shut up now and let it die.

Who gives a big rat's a$$ the scum bag is dead that is all that matters. Who shot him and how many times don't matter. They should have wrapped him in bacon and left him for the buzzards.

Obama makes me sick trying to claim he got Osama. I'm proud of the Seals and what they did, putting their lives on the line. I don't see Obama out there nor did he serve in any branch of service. Thanks Mr. Bush for setting the wheels in motion.

ROMNEY/RYAN 2012 at least he belives in GOD!!!!!

"he couldve been hiding a weapon" BS, sounds like what a cop says after he shoots a black kid. how is an old man a threat to a bunch of heavily armed navy seals? @!$%# that, but that is their job to kill unarmed people, wow that is really brave....its just like how the US only picks on defenseless third world countries, what a bunch of coward scum. also if you believe what military people or their politicians say, you are a dumbass. then again if you take nbc news seriously you are a dumbass anyway. oh yea and by the way, bin laden was RETIRED. meaning, no longer in al-qaeda. he wasn't a "mastermind" of anything. come on sheeple, think.

One damn thing's for sure... The Bush/Cheney Crime Syndicate didn't get him! The Obama Admin did!!!

No doubt, the Fake Noos infestation, 'baggernuts, & republiturds leeching on MSN will try... again, try-- to divert from the fact that POTUS Obama gave the orders ...ON... HIS... WATCH!

Any distortion of this truth will self-destruct in 5 seconds, from the same idiots who claim 9/11 happened b/c of Bill Clinton! We are NOT putting up with that f***ing BS from the right!

Excelsior!

When are people going to wake up to all these bull@!$%# lies bin laden was CIA he worked for america.

“He who trades liberty for security, deserves neither and will loose both.” – Thomas Jefferson

The Bush family and the Bin Laden family are in fact best friends. They where both business partners in Saudi Oil and members of the Carlye Group. According to Patrick Bellringer, the Bush family was protecting Bin Laden. He checked into the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN prior to September 11, 2001 seeking medical treatment for his kidney problems. The hospital gave him and his family a floor unto themselves for privacy. He later died on December 26, 2001 from kidney (renal) failure and lung complication. The big lie by the US government is to keep the people believing there are terrorists out there to get us. It’s hard to have a War on Terrorism, if there are no terrorists! Furthermore the media refuse to investigate how a dying man can survive on a dialysis machine in remote Pakistani caves for over six years.I can't wait to see how people will act when the real truth comes out it will be something to see.

Nah...All people, always do the right thing. And no one ever has any selfish motives. People in these blogs always respect others opinions and are very nice to each other. I am so glad to live in such a great country.

I think Bin Laden was dead and buried years ago They killed another man and had to bury him at sea to cover the truth up. If all of this can be leaked why wouldn't the burial be shown to the world. Obama and his whole administration are hiding secrets from the people and it is time to fire all of them.

BTW, I thank the Seals and all of our men and women in uniform that put their lives on the line to keep our country safe. We know they do their job and do it well. Hopefully one day we will hear the truth without the WH throwing stones at these brave men and women. None of them should have to live a lie for political reasons, but sadly many do.

The only disappointment is we can't bring that cave dwelling camel jockey back to life, so we could shoot him 3000 more times, for each life he took 11 years ago. Hope he's getting anally raped in hell by pigs and having ham and bacon for breakfast every day for the next million years. F**k him!

whats the difference with this and all the military stratagies and what they are going to do and where the military will be and how many troops we are sending that the news media spews out every day and not to mention hillary clinton and her telling how many nukes we have on national television broadcast all over , what about all the leaks in washington i say leave the man alone . OBAMA HAS GOT TO GO OR OUR COUNTRY WILL NO LONGER BE THE GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD !!!!! Get educated on this man and vote his radical communist agenda and him and all the others with whom he associates out this is the worst president in history stop him before its too late
