Osama bin Laden 'was dead in 90 seconds'

A controversial new account of the killing of Osama bin Laden has challenged the official story of the how the al-Qaeda leader died during the raid on his Pakistani hideout in May.

Chuck Pfarrer, a former commander of US Navy SEAL Team Six, whose members carried out the assault, claims bin Laden was shot dead almost instantly rather than killed in a 45-minute firefight.

Claiming to have interviewed several men involved in the raid, Pfarrer also contradicted the official account of how the SEAL team landed and how one of their Black Hawk helicopters crashed.

"The SEALs entered the building after being deposited on the roof by the lead helicopter, not from the ground," Pfarrer said in a statement about the book.

"Only minutes after bin Laden was dead did the lead helicopter, heading for a landing spot, lose altitude and sink, tail-first, into the large walled enclosure east of the main house." Pfarrer explains that if the SEALs had been forced to climb stairs to reach bin Laden, as has been officially claimed, he would have had enough warning to arm and effectively defend himself.

"Bin Laden was dead within 90 seconds of the beginning of the raid, not after an extended firefight," Pfrarrer said. "Four suppressed rounds were fired".

Hmm, conflicting accounts?

I’m much more inclined to believe this version than that of the Obummer white house.

With all the money Bin Laden had, I was surprised he didnt have some labyrinthine tunnel under the complex. Good guys storm the complex, he drops down a tube under the complex, crawls away to adjacent house, gets away in true 007-villain fashion.

I know these are secret operations. Maybe there’s some sort of classified issue with this account over the other?

[chesty_puller]

Hmm, conflicting accounts?

Perry's fault.

Frankly, the only thing I care about in all this is this, HE’S DEAD. That is all I care about. I don’t care if it took 15 minutes or 15 seconds. The scum of Izzlum is DEAD!

[angcat]

He was dead in three seconds in 2004.

I don’t believe that members of “Seal Team Six” would be telling anyone anything.

[Newtoidaho]

Remember that picture of the zero sitting in the corner like an unhappy little punk?

My theory is that a few minutes before that picture was taken he was on his direct hotline to Bin Laden telling him to get out, that the Seals were on the way in to get him (SEAL’s having made the decision to go in on their own authority).

A few weeks later, the helicopter the SEALs were on goes down killing all aboard. Zero’s revenge was to take the entire SEAL team out.

Those who know, don’t talk; those who talk, don’t know.

I'm still not convinced OBL is dead. Where's the evidence? 3000 people killed by being burned alive, crushed to atoms, falling almost half a mile and we do not want to offend Muslims by showing the body of the POS responsible ??? I trust this administration as much as I trust a crack whore selling me the Brooklyn bridge. Like hell. This foreign dooshbag who has been tagged as POTUS can't even show us any evidence if he was even in the country for the past 20 years, and we are taking his word that OBL is dead? That a photo of the body is MORE offensive that THIS???.......

[Duchess47]

He was dead in Dec 2001.

[TsonicTsunami08]

Of course you noticed the delicate manner in which the Qaddafi execution was presented so as not to offend the highly sensitive muslims./S

[Sacajaweau]

I was amused to see the roads....which all led to the complex. They might as well have marked it "Rome".

What pi**** me was that they killed the messenger. We probably promised him a million bucks.

And I'm even more pi**** that our soldiers had to participate at a muslim funeral. And you think Obama isn't a muslim??

[Johnny B.]

We know he’s dead because he just registered to vote in chicago.

True SEALS and SPECOPS types don't talk about their missions other than to the official J-2/G-2 Debriefer. Anyone else gets told NOTHING! True SEALS SPECOP personnel don't brag or tell tales.

Xacly. No corraborated video,voice,pictures for years. Makes no sense. Just sayin.

[emax]

And replaced in 60 seconds or less. This isnt the same as overthrowing Hitler or Tojo, this is isnt about an ideology that lives and dies with any living indiviual(s).

Oh yes, and BTW...Something the MSM never points out about those 911 jumpers: If you look close, their bodies are severely burned. Notice how the arms are black? And showing OBL with a bullet hole in his head is TOO OFFENSIVE? WTF?? That showing the photo may inflame muslims against our troops? Well GEE isn't THAT a change? SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE THAT OBL IS DEAD! OTHERWISE IT IS BS!
