Watching It Unfold - Maybe


There were some rumors that Obama watched the whole Bin Laden mission via a camera feed mounted on either the helicopter or a Navy Seal. I'm not sure that's true. (Edit: CNN says "kind of" with lots of qualifiers.)

This official White House photo release refers to this group "receiving an update." Still, it's pretty dramatic.

Edit: Man, so many people are saying "they watched a live feed of every second of it". That misinformation will go down in history as fact.

Actually, this intelligence was gathered months after KSM was waterboarded, during a regular series of questioning.

Also, John McCain says torture doesn't work, and he experienced it.

So, no. This Conservative will not admit that it works.

Camera's were probably mounted on seals. Some day video might be released. Very interesting.

I've for the most part admired Hillarys job as Secretary Of State. She needed her game face more firmly affixed in this photo though- she looks kind of horrified.

What you anti Obmama folks on this blog need to do is join the Navy Seals. Your comments about our President would not be tolerated.

Those people in that room knew exactly what those young people in the special forces were facing. First hand.

A thankful American who is personally acquainted with a Seal.

They were, in fact, watching the whole thing in real time. Several members of SEAL Team Six had cameras mounted on helmets and weapons. The entire operation, from first shot through last, took 40 minutes. Twenty two were killed.
Imagine what all took place to get the team into Pakistan, assault the compound, eliminate him, get his body out of country, provide positive DNA to a secure site, have the body moved to a naval vessel, taken out to sea and finally buried in less than 48 hours......

Hey RINO Rage, if that's your real name, What really happened is that the intel trail that ultimately culminated in Sunday's events started in 2007 at Guantanamo Bay. The first key piece of intel was the indentification of the couriers who kept OBL informed. I guess we'll never know for sure if waterboarding led to this first nugget of information, but you can bet that whatever it was it falls under the very adult notion of "enhanced interrogation" techniques and not "regular series of questioning" as you describe it. In other words in plain speak so that you can understand it, Obammy is the beneficiary of tactics he campaigned against--that wer performed at a location he campaigned against. And one other thing that might sting your ass, under Obammy's government shutdown program, Seal Team Six members would not have been paid. And make no mistake about it, the repeated mention of the "I" word in the Sunday night address, Obammy wants us all to think that he virtually pulled the trigger.

I find it funny that everyone in the room looks to be in work attire and it looks like Obama just came in between holes on the golf course! :)

Or they could be watching the iPad 2 launch.

As an affirmed Obama non-fan, I'm proud that this was so well executed. He can't do EVERYTHING wrong. He should have given the Bush admin. some cred during the victory speech.

FALSE. That has already been discredited. Try again, tard.
