SEAL book raises questions about bin Laden’s death
Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) — A firsthand account of the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden contradicts previous accounts by administration officials, raising questions as to whether the terror mastermind presented a clear threat when SEALs first fired upon him.
LOL didnt they profiteer from it? shouldnt be complaining...
Doesn't really matter. SEAL teams ROE on an assault like that don't require that someone be a direct threat before they whack them.
Yoni, tell next how "Obama gutted welfare reform!" :lol
Hey Yoni, you want a lie?
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Sweeeeeeeet!Quote:
Bissonnette says he was directly behind a “point man” going up the stairs. “Less than five steps” from top of the stairs, he heard “suppressed” gunfire: “BOP. BOP.” The point man had seen a “man peeking out of the door” on the right side of the hallway.
The author writes that bin Laden ducked back into his bedroom and the SEALs followed, only to find the terrorist crumpled on the floor in a pool of blood with a hole visible on the right side of his head and two women wailing over his body.
Bissonnette says the point man pulled the two women out of the way and shoved them into a corner and he and the other SEALs trained their guns’ laser sites on bin Laden’s still-twitching body, shooting him several times until he lay motionless.
Fuckem.
Another fine example of gun control.Quote:

I can't imagine that's actually the point; I can only guess, but I'd hazard one that the President would have been castigated roundly by his critics if the raid had resulted in bin Laden's arrest and not his death. Given that trying bin Laden for his crimes was surely never what anyone contemplated in seeking to bring him to justice, I'm not sure what difference it makes that he did or didn't constitute a clear threat to the heroes who raided the compound that night.
So bin laden didn't use the woman as a meat shield?
I am not sure what the point is either. Anyone know? from the quotes posted it looks like the guy behind the guy who popped bin laden didnt see anything.Quote:

:lol
kept shooting him till he stopped twitching
I thought of that pulp fiction scene when I read that.Quote:

Were Obama's kill lists revealed before or after the bin Laden raid? I don't remember. Because if it's before, your rationale is pretty much out the window. After and, well, why bother with the bin Laden embellishment?Quote:

not nearly as curious as the tall tale featuring pat tillman.
What is it revealing? Do you have a more sinister but more plausible explanation?Quote:

Nah, I just think Obama told the story in a way that was the most politically advantageous. The truth matters little to the man.Quote:

Okay then, it inexplicable. Perhaps someone will ask him. Right now, the White House is saying "no comment."Quote:

Could have been suicide.Quote:
Mr. Bissonnette says he was directly behind a point man going up the stairs in the pitch-black hallway. Near the top, he said, he heard two shots, but the book doesn’t make it clear who fired them. He wrote that the point man had seen a man peeking out of a door on the right side of the hallway.
The author writes that the man ducked back into his bedroom and the SEALs followed, only to find the man crumpled on the floor in a pool of blood with a hole visible on the right side of his head and two women wailing over his body. Once they wiped the blood off his face, they were certain it was bin Laden.
Can we agree that Bush lied about WMDs now?
With Yoni's claim in this thread we could easily say that bush sold the story so he could look like a war time president?
Will you kill yourself if Hussein gets re-elected? Serious question.Quote:

Nope, because he had WMD's. How do I know, cause the guy used them on his own people as well as Iranian troops. The real question remains. What did he do with them.Quote:

We may find out if Syria falls.
I find it so laughable that the left still uses this tactic. All he had to do was present evidence of thir disposition, and we would have never gone in.Quote:

There is video of Saddam being hanged, video and pics of Gaddafi beaten and killed, but nothing on "supposedly" the greatest terrorist who attacked America lol
non-Photoshopped Pics, or it didn't happen.
so the SEALS lied too? it's a conpsiracy!Quote:

Enough with the conspiracy theories Cosmored.Quote:

While there are photos of other murdered Presidents, there are none of this so called dead terrorist who attacked us on 9/11. Just because you or anyone else say the words "conspiracy theories" doesn't make you right in any way. In fact there is more truth in what I said than in what you and so many believe.Quote:

So he is alive?
Looks like that's what Mouse is saying.Quote:

I didn't say that either. Just saying this President didn't kill him. Regardless of any faked pics he may release before the election.Quote:

Honestly it would not shock me if he had been on ice for a while, but I have seen no proof of that either.
LOL...Quote:

I agree. This president did not kill him. It just happened on his watch.
Maybe I'm missing the point you are making. Can you get to it?
I agree. If they were to play such a game, then now would have been the right time to take him out of the ice.Quote:

I see where that leads to:
dubya/dickhead/condi/rummy did allow 9/11.
It just happened on their watch.
No, that's what your take has been. That it's their fault for 9/11. I do not give Obama credit for being at the right place at the right time. I give the military credit for their successful mission.Quote:

Until the American people have been shown real proof and not doctored photos, then it is MY view that he lied, just as he has lied about so many other things. And my view has more weight than yours, seeing as how there is no proof.
You get the point.
Yes Mouse. I understand. Disagree, but I understand your point.Quote:

Why would he do that? They are best buddies (as were Bush and Bin laden). He isn't dead, he is living in lavish luxury (alliteration aside) in the basement of the alamo. He just provided a few hair samples so they can clone and kill him.Quote:

And Obama lost Egypt and Lybia to the bunch that took down the towers.
By the way, wonder why Obama is so worried about Syria having WMD?
Looked like third graders. Caught them just in time.Quote:
