“The U.S. government was surprised . . . “

WTF does THAT mean?

Who, pray tell, is “The US Government”?

Is it Obama? The Executive Branch? Does it include the SEAL who wrote the book? Does it include We The People?

Who, exactly, speaks for “The US government”? Carney? Justice Roberts? Harry Reid?

Never legally.... Just breaking the law twice don’t cut it.

Aside if I we’re to write everything I knew about my EOD skill sets and render safe procedures I’d just endanger those still in the field still working.

Ya get folks killed when ya let such out of the bag. There is a place for secrets. Just because BHO Inc showed their idiocy doesn’t mean it should be done “again” ..... Not saying your advocating such yet there are channels to bitch, grip and complain through versus running to a CBS presstitute with stuff even a polidiot shouldn’t possess much less a pandering presstitute.

I suspect this book is a false flag to throw mud in the Spec Ops OPSEC sorts face for their attack on Precedent Erkel Mugabe ....

Real world shooters love mud.....:o)

My opinion only.... Stay safe Dave !

You had me until the camcorder part. The video recorded there would only have shown parts of Reggie Love.

Yeah, I smell a rat too and think this is nothing but a ploy by the Obama administration to glorify Obama’s role in the mission to take down Bin Laden. I don’t think they were surprised at all, and if they really don’t won’t the book to be published, it won’t be. I think they are pushing it and have planned this all along, just another spike of the ball. Well I throw the damn penalty flag on this.

I don’t see why the author needs to write under a “pseudonym”. Barry the Kenyan Guy invited Hollywood in to make a movie about his killing of Osama bin Laden. Hollyweird’s Obambo - Terrorist Hunter movie should be coming out in time for the election. I haven’t heard any whining about that.

"It is time to set the record straight about one of the most important missions in U.S. military history," the Navy SEAL author said in the book, according to the publisher's statement.

Not even close to being one of the most important missions. Can think of dozens right off hand that were far more important.

When will Obama leak the dead Osama photos? October 30th?

Sounds to me like an “I’m a hero” book because who will dispute it since the Seals can’t speak up about it? People tend to believe HEROES, so if the book says this guy was an eyewitness who saw bin laden d e d, maybe even shot him himself, people will believe...and we STILL have no more proof than we did before.
Makes o be gone look good. Makes the cia look good. Makes the Pentagon look good.
Everybody bery happee.
