Yeah - 9 or 10 months after confirming he was there.

I thought the mission was to kill OBL. Wasn't OBL dead when the mission encountered problems? The objective of the mission had been accomplished. If we had suffered casualties as a result of the helicopter accident the mission still would have been a success.

Delaying cost Foley his head. Will it cost Obama anything?
