Bin Laden was ALREADY DEAD when Navy SEALs burst into his bedroom Shocking claim by retired soldier
The Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 8/29/12 | Staff

Posted on 08/28/2012 10:54:31 PM PDT by ruralvoter

A blow-by-blow account of the Navy SEAL raid that took down Osama bin Laden has revealed that the al-Qaeda chief was unarmed and already dead when soldiers burst into his room in his Pakistan compound.

The book, No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama bin Laden, was written anonymously under the name Mark Owen, who was one of the SEAL Team Six members who saw the terror leader die in May 2011.

A copy of the book, obtained by The Huffington Post, says that the mission was quite unlike the popular version of what went on at the house in Abbottabad.

Owen wrote that a member of the elite squad saw the terror leader as he ducked into his bedroom, and the soldiers, who were climbing stairs to the third floor, followed.

He said: 'We were less than five steps from getting to the top when I heard suppressed shots. BOP. BOP. I couldn't tell from my position if the rounds hit the target or not. The man disappeared into the dark room.'

Uh huh..

There is a blue moon in a couple of days.

I predict there will be a doubling of Bin Laden is dead/alive, Elvis sightings, conspiracy theories, gold going to $10,000 an ounce and Romney is a conservative stories on FR until then...

MAny things about this story thats funny... like throwing the body over the side of ship at sea....

I think they found a body double... and not the real guy at all.. used for recruiting purposes.. And that Binny croaked at Tora Bora many years ago..

What a movie that would make.. Except the Producers of Movie might end up at Fort Marcy Park..

I think Obama cut him a deal; pretend you’re dead and we’ll stop trying to kill you.

What a dumb title. He was not ALREADY dead, as the description of how he was killed makes clear.

[In addition to Spielberg. . .Dreamworks and HBO’s Richard Plepler have met with the author. . .This would be the third movie to tell the story of the raid that killed the mastermind of the September 11 terrorist attacks. . .’Zero Dark Thirty,’ directed by Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow will open December 19. . .The Weinstein Company has suggested it could release its own film about the May 2011 commando raid in Pakistan, ‘Code Name Geronimo’ before the election.]

Very few people know the complete picture of this event yet Hollywood is stampeding to crank out movies that will be essentially disinformation.

SEALs are not soldiers, they’re sailors.

Why would a soldier be in a position to know? The only soldier in the story is (maybe) Col. Gregory, the Pentagon spokesman quoted.

"I think Obama cut him a deal; pretend you’re dead and we’ll stop trying to kill you."

He probably told bin Laden that he'd have more flexibility after the election.

_____________________________________________

That has always stuck with me as a red flag...It has no reasoning behind it.
One possibility is that Obozo got a memo that Osama had died
or had been murdered, and decided to capitalize on it.
I think they overdid it.

Marines are a separate branch of service. SEALs belong to the Navy.
