Forget whatever you think you know about the night Osama bin Laden was killed. According to a former Navy SEAL who claims to have the inside track, the mangled tales told of that historic night have only now been corrected.
“It became obvious in the weeks evolving after the mission that the story that was getting put out there was not only untrue, but it was a really ugly farce of what did happen,” said Chuck Pfarrer, author of Seal Target Geronimo: The Inside Story of the Mission to Kill Osama Bin Laden.
In an extensive interview with The Daily Caller, Pfarrer gave a detailed account of why he believes the record needed to be corrected, and why he set out to share the personal stories of the warriors who penetrated bin Laden’s long-secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

Orders to go and kill a foreign national???
I thought so all along!!
No US President ever gave or would give such an order... except JFK when he off’ed Diem and his brother and routinely denied knowing what about the plan.
How’s that 72 virgin thing going for ya???
I noticed that Doonesbury has his characters talking about the most disasterous foreign policy blunder in our history — Iraq, of course. Reminding me that JFK had a twofer: (1) Bay of Pigs and (2) Vietnam. The first led to a disasterous encounter with Khrushchev in Vienna, leading to near nuclear War in October, 2002. The second led from his decision to let the Diem brothers be “removed,” without a credible replacement in the wings. By the following Spring, the South Vietnamese government was on the point of collapse.
BTTT
You mean October, 1963.
Also,,, to get prisoners out of Cuba after the Bay of Pigs FUBAR, tell me again how many BILLIONS it cost the US????
I guess since this stuff is ignored by the MSM and omitted from students’ history lessons, we are ALL supposed to forget the actual and verifiable facts of THAT particular foreign policy ‘event’.
When WE are dead and gone, any CORRECT record and remembrance of this stuff will go with us! That’s how it works.
“President Obama’s announcement spoiled intelligence found at the compound”
Later, Seals, many brave men lost lives...
I don’t have anything nice to say.
“President Obama’s announcement spoiled intelligence found at the compound”

And that keeps the President’s fairey-tale alive , because those that know and can talk , ... are no longer arround.
“The first led to a disasterous encounter with Khrushchev in Vienna, leading to near nuclear War in October, 2002.”
“You mean October, 1963.”
Both are wrong - October of 1962.
His account is much more realistic.
There is blood on his hands...
I still don’t have anything nice to say.
Oh! But
céad míle fáilte!
A Seal Team Six member would speak confidentially with a fellow Seal. I trust the retired Seal’s version. I trust nothing the current criminal enterprise administration puts out, especially after they have Seal Team Six murdered to shut them up.
Not disputing the people who were there (assuming this stuff is accurately reported), but I found the following a bit incongruous”
“He [OBL] dived across the king-size bed to get at the AKSU rifle he kept by the headboard . . . “
A couple of paragraphs above that statement it says that shortly after that he was shot in the chest, and while falling backwards, took a second pop above the left eye socket.
Typically people dive across a bed chest down - I guess it all depends on the timing, and the delay between OBL grabbing his piece and trying to get off a shot (if that’s what he did), but I guess I’m still not entirely comfortable with the consistency of the scenario as described.
No, he means October 1962
BD or LP - Or HC......
How did it REALLY go down - was there a mini-coup in the WH
One picture is worth? Does he look like he's in command of anything? Or hauled in off the golf course, told to sit in the corner and watch how the big boys do it. Notice how neither he nor ‘Plugs” could’ve left the room or sent ‘warnings’ to anyone if they wanted. They are blocked in.

Right. If he was diving across the bed for his AK, I expect he would have been riddled with bullets, not just 2 in the head.

Unless, of course, you were holding onto your wife as a shield between you and bullets -
Not a lot of 'typical' in an operation like this - but then, what do I know, I'm not a trained Navy Seal nor was I there.
Were you?
If not, do you think you have the right to second guess and cast doubt on what this trained professional, who was THERE, says?
Our SEALS are not only the toughest of the tough, they are honorable.
I'm not so sure about people who cast dispersion on them - on the world wide web - simply on their own NON-experitse/NON-present, judgment.
Too many people doing this - How about instead, y'all turn your doubts to that whole Seal Team being taken out by a lucky shot from the Tallies...
Like question no. 1:"How did the tallies know where they would be?" - and maybe question no.2: "Why were he Seals in a chooper that was not militarily equipped like the ones they traditionally fly in?
