We're already seeing it here on DU...somehow either bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11 or was some innocent bystander rather than the mastermind of the murder of 3,000 people on 9/11 as well as countless others going back to the first FTC bombing. I'm glad he's been smoked. Personally I would have liked him brought to justice and have had him had to face another family who lost someone that day but I'll settle with a world with one less mass murderer in it.
Still...those who think 9/11 as an inside job will find more threads to go chasing after and those who hate this President will either give the credit to the previous regime or somehow paint President Obama as some murderer.
Nope...they won't zip lips. Making political points matter more...
Apparently the SEALs built a mock up of that house and practiced the raid. I'm certain they are trained to retrieve any source of intelligence possible when conducting a raid.
The best we've got. And, this was apparently the top team of SEALs. Literally, the best of the best. I bet the gunfight was over in 10-15 minutes and the rest of it was spent confiscating evidence.
if you really think about it. Sounds like there were just a handful or two there. They were unprepared for the sneak attack likely. The Seals are trained to work fast. I don't think OBL had any clue.
the malfunctioning helicopter likely gave them more of a heads up than what the SEALs planned. But even with that, they were still overwhelmed. You had 24 SEALs going against 4 men and one woman. On paper it looks like it should be a quick defeat, and that's exactly how it played out despite the helicopter problem.
17. I know they said there was no internet or phone lines
to the building, but if they did have computers and stuff perhaps we can glean useful information from them for future intelligence. That would be a good thing.
