New book depicts Osama bin Laden shot on sight in hallway, contradicting original account

WASHINGTON - A firsthand account of the commando raid by U.S. Navy SEALs that killed Osama bin Laden contradicts previous accounts by administration officials, raising questions as to whether the terror mastermind presented a clear threat when SEALs first fired upon him.

Bin Laden apparently was shot in the head when he looked out of his bedroom door into the top-floor hallway of his compound as SEALs rushed up a narrow stairwell in his direction, according to former Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette, writing under the pseudonym Mark Owen in "No Easy Day." The book is to be published next week by Penguin Group (USA)'s Dutton imprint.

I don’t care if he was on his knees begging for forgiveness.

He was bought and paid for several hundred times over.

Not really much difference between the original story and the new one. Nothing to get excited about. So they shot his twitching corpse a couple more times..nbd. Sat on his body..nbd. He was a threat when they couldn’t see if he was armed.
He’s dead dead.

So,because of this book,everyone is now giving this Navy Seals real name? Payback for showing the lies Obama told I assume? I pray for his and his family’s safety.

Reminded me of this blogger's quote (J. Treacher):

Personally, I don’t care if Bin Laden was holding a tray of freshly baked cookies and asking our boys if they wanted any tea when they shot him. You’ve heard of suicide by cop? As far as I’m concerned, Osama Bin Laden committed suicide by 9/11."

Besides, everyone knows that BHO bagged OBL himself and if we re-elect him, he will regale us all with his harrowing tale.

Silly SEALs, don’t they know they didn’t kill OBL? /s

So? - good question.

There is no real doubt in our minds that the bast*** needed to be caught cornered and killed.

But this doesn’t play to “our minds,” it plays to the disenchanted liberal trash MSM, and to other left wing voting blocks who would all, every one, be rushing to condemn Bush, et. al, for doing anything like this.

While the drumbeat was 24/7 365 against Bush for GITMO, that drum has fallen eerily silent now that Hussein is calling the shots and GITMO is still open for business.
This will stick... the bright gloss of the Left’s lofty hopes is tarnished and gone, and the energy factor is diminished and dimmed.

“terror mastermind presented a clear threat when SEALs first fired upon him.”

Navy Seal says “Oh gosh Mr Bin, sorry to disturb you but we are here in the hopes of converting you to our beliefs and the immediate repudiation of all things you represent. No harm will come to you if you immediately eat this bacon sandwich. If not we will take you down to Main Street and at high noon we will give you the opportunity to outdraw us in a fair and highly civilized duel that has been approved by the New York Times, Washington Post, AP and the unanimous United Nations.”

BUT......, did they pi$$ on him? We need an investigation to find out so we can prosecute these horrible degenerates!

SARC!

The Seals needed to waterboard him before shooting him. That would’ve really pissed off the democrats.

BTW, did anybody read him his rights before shooting him? No doubt that thought crept into Obama’s mind as he was viewing the operation as it occurred.

When you mount a midnight commando raid into the lair of Doctor Evil, you've pretty much already made that determination.

Clearly, you don't have to have much of a brain to write for AP.

What amkes anyone think that bin Laden is dead? I haven’t seen the photographs of his corpse? Has anyone else? Where are the photographs? I want to see the photographs!

So far, all we have is a bunch of Obembabots telling us that bin Laden is dead.

Wait, I thought the seals were unable to kill the evil mastermind, which is why Chairman Obama the Most Brave and Godly had to smite the villain with His most Masculine and Mighty Exulted Holy Fist of Honolulu.

A friend on FB commented on this story and asked everyone if she was the only one who cared that Osama bin Laden was unarmed.

Most responses to her so far have been (in one way or another) no; as was mine.

The people who Osama bin Laden killed on 9/11 were “unarmed”; we care about that fact, not that their killer was unarmed when he was finally caught, and liquidated.
