Since President Barack Obama announced that “a small team of Americans” had killed Osama bin Laden, US government officials have carefully stuck to the line that they will not talk about which units were involved.
Obama did not say it was the SEALs. In numerous television appearances, Obama’s counter-terrorism chief John Brennan didn’t and his deputy national security adviser Denis McDonough didn’t. Despite the numerous news reports that named the SEALs, none of the anonymous briefers from the CIA and Pentagon would confirm it.

I heard that the U.S. Navy did not confirm it too.
Although it got me to thinking do they ever confirm something like this when the White House first announces it? I figured the White House wants to field these questions and not have the Navy do it may be a possible reason.
Stand up for Chuck!!!
Biden just can’t help himself. He starts talking before the brain engages...
“Biden just can’t help himself. He starts talking before the brain engages...”
Of necessity. There is no brain to engage.
It was a JOINT mission of CIA, Seals and Delta Force, on the ground, and, the entire scope of the JSOC in the air and behind the scenes. A Navy "Team 6" Seal is the one who snuffed Bin Laden.
Let's be "fair and balanced", shall we? lol
dumb as a oyster.
[facepalm] The Smartest Man in the Room (anytime he's alone) is probably picturing literal seals, marine mammals, taking down OBL armed with AR's.
"How did they train them to fire the guns with the flippers? Wouldn't otters have been a better choice? Why wasn't I in the loop?"
Brain?What brain?
The last time his brain engaged was 1973.
Well, it makes sense that seals would be in the Navy, not in the Air Force!
A heartbeat away.
Awash in embarrassment precedes even the physical approach of the man to a microphone on any subject.
That is the kind of behavior you expect from an alcoholic.
“Joe Biden opens his mouth”
Anytime I see that phrase in a thread title, I’m clicking on it.
History will eventually be written about Biden. There are things to know about this guy that will make people wonder how he can even pull his socks on.
These threads are like heroin, even more so than those containing CZJ images. He among all others in the Regime has to be THE most embarassing. What a joke...
It amazes me that with his foot planted firmly in his mouth that any words can come out. What a fool that man is. My dem MIL thinks he is just soooo smart. They don’t make them any dumber than this one...what does that say for a country full of fools who elected him?
