Ex-Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette, one of the Navy SEALs who raided the Osama compound, refuted the Obama Administration’s account of the raid.
60 Minutes interviewed Bissonnette:
Atlantic Wire reported:
Several news outlets have finally got their hands on a copy of the new book about the raid on Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound, and the details emerging contradict many of the earlier reports about what happened inside the house on the night the al Qaeda leader was killed. No Easy Day is set to be released September 11, but The Huffington Post’s Marcus Baram picked up a preview copy in a used bookstore, which is a common way to find pre-released books. The Associated Press bought a copyas well.
The book, written by ex-Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette (under the pseudonym Mark Owen), is a first-person account of the raid on the Abbottabad compound where bin Laden had been in hiding for years. According Bissonnette’s version of events, there was no extended firefight between SEAL Team 6 members and bodyguards and bin Laden himself never got the chance to confront or even see the soldiers before they killed him. Instead, he was shot in the hallway outside of his bedroom, then “disappeared into the dark room.” By the time the soldiers entered, he was already dying of wounds to the head. Bissonnette says he and another team member then shot him several more times in the chest to ensure he was dead.
The book also says that while there were two guns found in bin Laden’s room, neither was loaded and he never had a chance to defend himself. Bissonnette even calls him a “pussy” for not being prepared to defend or kill himself. Even though bin Laden was killed without resisting, the SEAL were instructed beforehand that it was not an assassination mission and that bin Laden should have been brought back alive, if possible.

This isn’t the cure for the leaks.

If they wanted him alive, they should have sent lawyers with flowers and offered him a deal.
You don’t send Seals to deliver sandwiches. I actually saw some clown on another blog whine about the many benefits of capturing bin Laden alive and how “all the violence” was so unnecessary. I’m afraid I wasn’t too polite to him.
That, folks, is what this election is about.

Just like most of unarmed citizens killed in the 9/11 attack. Screw Osama and screw Obama. Both are worthless scum of the earth.

HMMMMMM -
HMMMMMM
SEALS are not exactly known for disobeying orders to bring somebody in alive . . . multiple wounds to the head from high powered ammunition . . . Never did believe the crap about the DNA testing in a helicopter (I’ve done DNA testing). . . . something tells me that whoever it was the SEALS offed, it wasn’t Osama Bin Laden.

Man, CBS, that was a great disguise It looks just like a real guy.

And the problem with double tapping Osama is exactly what? The point SEAL saw a head sticking out of a doorway in a hostile environment. Bang Bang. Cops get as much leeway going into a crackhouse. If the body was still twitching shoot it again. How does this reflect on Obama? Hardly at all. Administrations tell stories to enhance their aura or avoid criticism. The stories of Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman come to mind. The first story about Lynch confused her with Audie Murphy, and the Army certainly tried to make Tillman’s death anything but a friendly fire error.

Shocking video evidence of Islamic crucifixion
[There’s shocking new evidence from the Middle East of
crucifixion by Muslims, this time of a “spy” in Yemen who
allegedly was accused of U.S. sympathies.]

Jeannie commented:
BG there are MANY crucifixions going on, not just of opponents to the government but Christians all over the place. Of course it’s not PC to defend Christians, they’re not ‘sympathetic’ and brought it on themselves.

Let me be clear, I delayed, I waffled, and I flip-flopped on this mission. I was proud to leak the mission on National TV to boost my crappy campaign ratings!
Sure, the Seals and their families are at risk and so is the Pakistani Doctor who fingered him. I don’t care. I only care about keeping my job and my Limousine!
If you like the way that I stab the military in the back then vote for me! Send me $30,899.99 before midnight. My campaign is going bankrupt!
My bus is spewing black smoke and Davy Axelrod has a yet another scam to rip-off my Union Donors. It’s a version of the Alice in Wonderland scam. Besides, my Union Donors always vote for me! I say take their money and screw them!
My campaign is going sour and I am moving my Donor’s money off-shore. If need be, I will seek political exile in the Isle of Man where they can’t catch me! Ha-ha! Eat crap you union suckers! I cannot answer any more questions. Good day.

Congratulations Hoft, you’re now at the point of empathizing with Osama bin Laden in your mindless hatred of the President. You are now the definition of pathetic.
