Reading Mark Bowden’s “The Killing of Osama Bin Laden”

For all his faults and the seeming paradox concerning his dealings with Iran, the lopsided exchanges with the Taliban etc. Obama did have a singular focus on the drive to make this happen. Bush lost focus amid his Iraq adventure, and Obama pulled together the resources to make this happen. Pretty interesting read

My favorite part of that story is us flying a team of special forces within a c(u)nt hair of the Pakistani West Point and them having no idea

Was it Nugget who claimed Bin Laden was actually a CIA agent named Tim Osman?

yeah, that’s a pretty common theory out in the conspiracy theory universe. Don’t get him started on crisis actors and Sandy Hook

I don't think we'll be seeing him around soon.

O God . All that Tim Osman stuff had me praying for the banhammer.

I hope he’s ok. I always worry those types of dudes are close to losing their grasp on reality.

Bullshite, Obama didn’t have more focus than Bush. Bush’s interrogations led to the intel that broke the intel. Those units tracked him down. They just got permission to go in when they were sure, and Obama just happened to be President...

Obama ordered the seals to kill Osama. Why not capture, interrogate, then execute?
Because he would have had to use Gitmo, military tribunals, and capital punishment!
These three things Obama would not do. He also wouldn’t use enhanced interrogation, so if it were up to him Osama would still be alive.

What really makes you think UBL hasn't been in a CIA black hole with electrodes clamped to his nuts for the past 6-1/2 years?

An argument for this is how most of Seal team 6 died soon after. My belief is someone leaked intelligence on them and set them up for an ambush.

The problem with that conspiracy theory is that it wasn’t the Neptune’s spear crew that got fricked up.
SEAL Team six is larger than what the name implies

Why would someone with enough clearance to be knowledgeable of the mission, civilian or military, want to kill the Neptune's Spear team? What purpose would that serve?
(Please don't answer "follow the money".)
SEALs, Delta and CIA's SAD operators had been removing enemy combatants from the battlefield and dumping them in black sites since 2001, and Gitmo shortly after. If they did it to UBL, it wouldn't have been anything new. That wouldn't be a reason to kill however many SEALs were killed.

Anyone that still believes Obama would allow US troops to kill obl has not been paying attention!

Strangest thing is the previously unacknowledged ‘third’ black hawk that was shot down just on the other side of the border. There’s something they’re not telling us.
Also I can guarantee Obama knew where Bin Laden was the entire time, he just played politics with his killing him, which was a smart move.
Seal Team 6 was chosen because the Navy was much more loyal to Obama, but he also knew he could rely on Seals to leak their version of the story and allow him to keep bin laden alive but in our custody. Delta force would have never allowed themselves to be a part of the cover up.

And yet they were still murdered to keep the secret.
IDK but I suspect that the USA had been waiting for OBL to die of natural causes or wounds. Then they went in and purposely crashed the stealth chopper so that the enemy could get some free technology.
On the other hand maybe the rumors are true that OBL is living it up and still being paid by the US somewhere in the Caribbean.

I believe bush had neither the gumption, resolve, or testes to find OBL.
The right hates to admit this, but only a man like Obama could have killed the world’s most wanted terrorist. It was one of the main reasons I voted for him twice.

Bush and Obama are both on the same side. Neither of them would ever kill OBL. You protect your team you don't kill them!

Was wondering when someone could pivot the thread to saying obama actually wanted bin laden to live. Thank you for delivering. You dumbass.
