Seems we have paid Pakistan 19 BILLION dollars since 2001. That is quite a sum for a supposed partner who ends up harboring our most hated enemy.

Well, he didn't have internet or a phone, so they did deny him some comforts

And then after identifying them, our press corps printed out the town where they are based and how they are known to the civilians so the terrorists can easily retaliate. Aren't they wonderfully efficient. Some black operations should remain black. Will never understand why some people simply feel compelled to show how much they know. And most of these personnel who spill their guts have probably never even heard gunfire except on the range but it is important to seem so important. If I seem upset. I am. Never minded putting myself in harm's way but my family!!! John |

And yet they can't figure out where Obummer came from?

Jerry,
We transported SEALs in Vietnam, and met a few at San Diego on North Island. I wouldn't doubt that those crazy bastards left their names, addresses and phone numbers, along with an invitation to a barbecue. If somebody told me where a bear trap was buried. I don't think I would start stomping around to see if I could trip it. Ron

Maybe more details of this operation will be unveiled by Wikileaks in the near future. It could cause some harm for the involved servicemen, informants, local people and their family.

One of the commentators on CNN just made me laugh. He was at the Abbottabad compound talking about what he saw when he peeked into a gap in one of the gates. He was very surprised that although an "intense firefight" was reported... the walls were not pocked with bulletholes.
I guess all of Seal Team 6's suppressive fire actually went in the windows. I bet there are quite a few more bulletholes on the inside of the compound wall. Probably some brown doo inside the building too.

...and some of Seal Team 6's fire went into Bin Laden. Works for me.

Seal team members are trained to make very precise, controlled shots. They don't "spray and pray" They entered quickly and overwhelmed outside guards with night vision and suppressed weapons that it is no surprise there is almost no damage outside. The inside of the structure may be another matter.

All I need to know is that despite a helicopter crash no Americans were killed or wounded. Those guys must have moved like the workings of a swiss clock. I could care less about the "shot in the face" pictures or the shark food drop video... I wanna see the video of the raid!
I'll probably have to wait about 25 years.

With Charlie Sheen as the "winning" SEAL Team leader? Maybe a little Demi Moore (G.I. Jane) as the conflicted female SEAL taking out the female terrorists? Michael Moore as the Navy admiral pulled out of retirement running the show from a bunker, unsure if he's doing the right thing? I'd pay some money to see that !
