Fox News, that I will no longer watch, has revealed the Seal’s indentity. CNN said they will not. CNN? Fox News is filled with traitors.
The most significant immediate problem the disclosure caused was nullification of the intel acquired in the raid. Al Queda operatives gained time they otherwise wouldn’t have had, to change their locations and communication methods.
Anybody remember Dr. Afridi? We recruited him to get into bin Laden’s compound under the guise of a hepatitis inoculation program. That op was needed because we just weren’t sure who was in the compound.
That op involved 25 tasking and travel contacts with our CIA team in March and April of 2011. After that op terminated mid-April, and we had acquired enough other intel, we waited until the next dark of the moon that occurred on May 2, 2011, the day of the raid.
It’s all a matter of record and science. Obama made the call, that any responsible President would have done.
All this talk about Hillary and Jarett and whomever pushing an uncertain Obama on the raid is just nonsense. This was Admiral McRaven’s call mainly and Obama listened and agreed.
Let’s hope this latest “insider” is for real. I will be reading this new book closely.
