“I have long considered Clinton, a party animal, with neither love nor hate for the country....just a glorified fraternity boy.”

Pretty much. Clinton, the eternal frat boy, and Obama the eternal campus rabble rouser.

I agree with this author. I don’t know who this here Seal killed, but I do not believe it was OBL. There was just too much talk of his demise back 13 years ago. Most people were not paying attention, and were just grateful we made it through the preceeding month without yet another terrorist attack. If you’re old enough to remember “9/11 Month” in real time, you have to remember how tense we all were, never knowing what the next day, the next hour would bring. Thrilled when ‘nothing happened’.

As I said before, if OBL did die back in 2001, and Bush was lying to us all those years, with Obama continuing the lie years later, I forgive Bush for the deception. Sometimes, machavalian measures are necessary to produce a needed reaction.
If OBL really was killed just a few years ago, and by this Seal, why was that heliocopter full of U.S. Marines brought down almost immediately afterward? Why was the body supposedly ‘thrown into the water’? I never believed that (water burial) made any sense at all. We are talking about Americans here, the same kind of people who saved chunks of JFK brain ‘for research purposes’ they called it.

“Don’t like him. Did fake reporting on one of the hurricanes, or somesuch. I wish they would replace him.”

I love young Peter. He’s a go getter who is going places. Does an excellent job at investigative reports. I hope he stays on Fox for many, many years. He’s a chip off the old block. Has his father’s and his own talents.

I thought people here were smarter than this. You’re the first post expressing doubt. Osama didn’t die in that raid. I don’t know why they are doubling down, but they are lying.

Everyone seems to be eating this stuff up with a spoon.

My daughter’s neighbor is a former Seal. Looking at him you would never know it. He’s rather slight and seems like an ordinary Joe. My daughter asked his wife if he’s afraid of anything. Her answer was “actually, no except the health of our kids”.
I found this interview just fabulous. I didn’t want it to end. Looking forward to tonight.

“Osama didn’t die in that raid.”

Well, I really have no way of knowing one way or the other. The story certainly sounds fishy though, with the main piece of evidence that might back it up supposedly “buried at sea”, under a transparently B.S. excuse.

We all raised hell when Biden identified Seal Team 6, and look what happened.

...electronic identification, on site family identification, blood DNA identification, facial recognition identification, CIA visual confirmation on site...

Hundreds of post raid electronic intercepts from AQ confirming OBL was killed.

You probably also denied OBL planned the 911 attack.

Meh, show me the body. Why is that so hard? All these second-hand reports of “verification” are fine, for the people that verified it, but I haven’t verified anything, and I have no reason to trust Obama’s administration of known liars.

“You probably also denied OBL planned the 911 attack.”

No, and you’re a jackass for assuming that.

And you are a low information jackass for believing in conspiracy theories.

The body was not shown for the obvious reasons that it was shot point blank multiple times and was made quite grisly. It was also buried at sea for the obvious reason that he would have been made a martyr at his burial site by radical jihadists.

By the way, AQ confirmed the death on its official website and vowed retaliation. Intercepts also showed after the attack that high level Pakistani ISI intelligence officers knew of Bin Laden’s presence at the Abbottobad site.

“And you are a low information jackass for believing in conspiracy theories.”

What conspiracy theory? I haven’t advocated any conspiracy theories, you jackass. I simply won’t take liar Obama’s word for anything when he says “trust me”. It could be that Obama’s story is true, but I have no way of knowing, because I have seen no evidence to back it up.

“The body was not shown for the obvious reasons that it was shot point blank multiple times and was made quite grisly.”

Tamerlane Tsarnaev’s body was grisly, as was Saddam Hussein’s hanging, and Gaddafi’s execution. Yet, we’ve seen all of those, within days. I simply don’t believe that nobody would snap a few cell phone pics of OBL on the slab.

“It was also buried at sea for the obvious reason that he would have been made a martyr at his burial site by radical jihadists.”

That’s a more believable excuse than the one that Obama gave, but it’s still awfully convenient that the one piece of evidence that might verify the story was supposedly dumped in the ocean almost immediately.

“By the way, AQ confirmed the death on its official website and vowed retaliation.”

First, AQ is not a trustworthy source, at least to me. Second, it seems quite likely that AQ simply thinks he is dead for the same reasons that you think he is dead. Certainly they weren’t allowed to perform their own autopsy!

“Intercepts also showed after the attack that high level Pakistani ISI intelligence officers knew of Bin Laden’s presence at the Abbottobad site.”

Him being present there is not confirmation that he was killed in the raid, now is it?

The local CBS channel teaser this morning referred to him as "the man who claims to have killed Bin Laden."

I don't normally watch CBS and had just gone there to see their weather prediction...didn't stick around to hear their version of the story.

And we know it was Bin Laden who was killed, how?

No DNA, burial at sea according to Muslim tradition(Tradition? They live in a friggin’ desert).

The raid was a success due to unbounded bravery by he raiders, but who did we really kill?

Ten plus years after Tora Bora, for a guy who was almost on dialysis?

The inference of saying, “....who claims”, is a thinly veiled assertion that he may not have really made the shot. I have not heard any other Seal come out and make a statement otherwise. But it killing CBS to know Fox is getting the stories and they are being excluded out. Sort of Chickens**t if you ask me. But they need to adjust their minds to the notion that no one believes them anymore, and there are other news organizations to watch. They have crapped in their own punch bowl. Either they need to get back to telling the truth or be prepared to suffer a substantial drop in viewership.

Yes, it did sound like they were suggesting he might be lying. But I wouldn’t rule out incompetence on the part of the local news person who didn’t realize his wording would come across as throwing aspersions on the veracity of the SEAL.
