Im former USN...And i thought the story was bs from the get. Heres why:
1. If any spec ops were involved...much less S.E.A.L.S., that fact would not be publically released.
2. There was no way an incursion by helo could be made that farinto Pakistan without their blessing.
Bin Laden was blowed to bits in 2002. W we kept that on the low for an intel advantage...any bad guy that knew bin laden was dead was for sure a bad guy.
This false narrative was completely andtotally fabricated for political reasons...to boost the dims military cred....and to give the dims ammo for troop reductions.
And if W got him in 2002, why would he sit back and let Obama take the glory? Do you really think the other people that got him in 2002 would keep their mouths shut and let someone else steal their glory? Why would SEALs on the mission lie? Hersh uses one, unnamed source, to spew this story...I’m going to need a lot more than that to believe him, or any reporter. I think he’s lying or he got played.
