    Navy SEALs: Yeah, Obama Should Probably Shut Up About bin Laden Now

    In years to come there is going to be information that will come out that Obama was not the man who made the call. He can say he did and the people who really know what happened are inside the Pentagon, are in the military and the military isn’t allowed to speak out against the commander- in-chief so his secret is safe.
    --Chris Kyle, a former SEAL sniper

    A former intelligence official who was serving in the US government when bin Laden was killed said that the Obama administration knew about the al-Qaeda leader’s whereabouts in October 2010 but delayed taking action and risked letting him escape.
    In the end, Obama was forced to make a decision and do it. He knew that if he didn’t do it the political risks in not taking action were huge.

    How long did it take to finally get OBL? Seems like this describes the gameplan perfectly.

    I think it funny ...wasn't it at the end of 2008 we as a country were told OBL was no longer a threat and there were bigger fish to fry.

    Now we have someone saying Obama risked OBL escaping if action was not taken.


    Well guess what folk, He did take Action and his action provided results. Had the the milatry action failed would we have gone back to OBL not being a threat or would we be blaming Obama for the failure?

    i give credit to the great work of the seal team that was called to duty and giving us the results we had all hoped for. I give credit for making the call to do so.....simple

    And there's absolutely no chance this is politically motivated. Right.

    The blog it comes from looks like a joke.

    For a fairly evenhanded and definitely thorough overview of the events of that night and the planning leading up to them--yes, intel dated back to 2010 and it still wasn't confirmed that it was him when they went in, did anyone think they found out about this compound a few weeks before we attacked?--here's a good read. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2..._fact_schmidle
