Probably true

I always kinda figured it was something like that but we'll never know. Either it was a rogue who took the $ or Pakistan/US made some type of deal.

Wish I knew where he was, could use 20 mill or so.

Don't agree with no firefight though. That would take a hell of a coverup from a lot of different parties involved to be a lie

The article says some shots were fired - at least to kill Bin Laden - so maybe the Seals didn't know - but after Beast said a movie caused a terrorist attack I wouldn't believe anything this administration tells me

This nonsense is likely false. No evidence to back any of that up. This
would have to involve a ton of people and we all know this type of coverup is impossible these days.

For the US to be tipped off of his whereabouts by Pakistani officials is not that far fetched, especially if it was a rogue.

The stuff about there not being a firefight and all that is likely BS though.

It wouldn't surprise me if Obama is lying through his teeth on this one, since that is par for the course...

Pakistani officials seemed more intent in hiding bin laden. Obama did the smart thing in bypassing them....a republican administration would have talked with Pakistan first and bin laden would have been tipped off and probably still be alive.

The idea that Obama made some big, gutsy decision on this has always been silly and ridiculous.

The story put forth by Hersh doesn't make a whole lot of sense, however.

CIA director Panneta and the counter terrorism chief both called Obama decision gutsy. Room was divided 50/50....many thought bin laden was not in that compound.

I I will go with those in the room at the time rather than rx forum republicans

They fail to mention that Pakistan's equivalent to West Point was located very close to where Obama was staying. My what a coincidence and no one from the Academy nor local police even attempted to intervene while all this transpired. Yes, I think the Pakistani Govt was cooperating right from the get go and undoubtedly were aware of his presence from the get go. Gutsy Decision by Obama.....not. With or without Hersh much of this is pretty obvious. We did not go into Pakistan on a mission without their knowing about it (and getting some money for it also). Bin Laden was ripe for the picking for a long time.

All I know is if it failed, Obama would take all the blame. Therefore he gets all the credit if it succeeds. That's the way life works.

I don't believe this reporter. That means all the Seals would have to be in on it.

The story may or may not be true. But to quote the possible next POTUS, at this point, what difference does it make?

The only thing that smells fishy ( no pun intended ) is the burial at sea.

It's definitely not shocking by any means, but it's fair to point out how ignorant you guys look using quotes that were clearly taken out of context. Makes you guys look like idiots. But that's the look you guys kind of go for, so it makes sense.

Stop with the out of context shit. Just because your reading and comprehension skills are nil doesn’t mean you should waste our time with your opinion.

^ the article answers the question. The greatest achievement of Obama's Presidency has literally meant nothing.

Meant nothing? Ask the families who lost husbands, wives, kids , brothers and sisters on 9-11-2001.....many of them very happy bin laden was killed. You wouldn't understand this kind of stuff because you're alone.

Do you ever have a clue what you're talking about?

Gotta side with Vit on this one. The Fucker is dead, and it was no cinch operation either.

This doesn't mean I don't hold Obama at least partially responsible for his couch commandering (thanks SB) that has led to the spread of global jihad and widened the ME mess.

This tells it all - it could not fail because no one was going to interfere with the mission. It was pre-planned and the Paki's benefited from it monetarily, why else would they not interfere that close to their military academy. No other explanation. Blame -Obama never takes any blame - what a joke. Scott - it was a cinch from the get go.
