Another report I read indicated that they used drones with cameras along with every other tech the CIA has available including infrared to develop an idea of what the interior of the place might look like to avoid as many surprises as possible.

All that intel was given to the SEAL teams to do their mock up and training.

Laz, I'll try to make this so simple even you can understand it.

Here's what you said.

Keep in mind that the CIA knew where OBL was way back in August 2010 from all reports yet Obama took until May, 9 months to give the go ahead and take him out?

If the press and other liberals had ever found out that Bush had known where OBL was sitting for 9 months and done nothing, they'd be hell to pay. Originally Posted by LazurusLong

Do you not understand that there's a difference between knowing where bin Laden is and suspecting where he might be? I really think that nuance escapes you. Or, perhaps you're just so blinded by your preconceptions that you can't think straight.

Regardless, you've cited a few articles now. NONE of them say Obama or the CIA KNEW bin Laden was there. The first you cited specifically said they didn't know which was so silly, I had to comment even though I try to stay away from political threads. The others talk about surveillance because they were trying to find out if he was there. If they already knew he was there, then they wouldn't need to be doing surveillance to find out. Once, again the articles you cite contradict the point you have somehow drawn from them. So, when you say you've read articles that Obama KNEW he was there, I can only suspect you're as usual because you have yet to cite a single article from the entire world wide web that says Obama knew bin Laden was there 8 or 9 months ago.

So, to make this simple for you, here's your choices:

1. Quit posting on the thread. This would show prudence so I doubt you'll choose this.

2. Admit you were wrong when you said there were articles showing Obama knew where bin Laden was for 9 (or 8) months. This would show character, so I again doubt you'll choose this.

3. Actually cite an article that supports your claim. This would show resourcefulness. Doubtful.

4. Make another long, unorganized post unable to distinguish between knowing and suspecting and once again failing to address the issue, with maybe an insult or two thrown in to distract from you getting called on posting a BS claim. This would show more lack of intelligence as well as lack of character to admit when you're wrong. I predict you'll take this route.

Way to go Obama!!!! Good job on the teleprompter too!!

Shackleton,

According to reports, the moment he took office he made finding OBL the CIA's number one mission so anyone who even remotely thinks or feels that the POTUS was not updated with the intel from August 2010 is smoking something.

Geez.

LL, dammit, quit messing with the lawyers like Shack, those guys set traps like that for a effin' living....lol!

As Nina Ross would say: "Shakin' my head."

Uh Oh! Pakistan is pissed at us for violating their air space. They're keeping Bin Ladens' wives and our helicoptor gizmo. If they were so inept not to know they were hiding Bin Laden for five years, do they really think we could trust them with details of the operation?

They have warned us of dire consequences should we try it again. In addition they're working on their image...

Oh and Geronimo's grandson is pissed too...

It was also a "kill only" mission. BHO wasn't going to make the same mistake that Bush did with Hussein. Just kill him and dump the body into the ocean. Don't have to worry about waterboarding the guy, a trial in civilian court, al Qaeda rescue attempt, media access, etc.

I'm not sure about this but my guess is that OBL was shot in the back of the head. That's why they aren't releasing the photos.

They build a mock-up when they know they're going on a mission. It doesn't matter who they're going after. The relative 'trouble' of building a mock-up is like the cost of buying condoms for a session with one of your favorite providers.

I tend to believe that it was a kill mission too, but I won't state it like I know it because I don't, and neither does anyone else. I do think it was the right way to go for this piece of shit, even if Michael Moore disagrees. We need to see more of this stuff, not less. When dictators are evil, send in the Seals to pop them, don't send in the army like the little shit-for-brains bush did. Oh wait, I forgot, Bush didn't make that call, Cheney and Rex Tillerson did.

Is it possible with all the unrest and over throws in the middle east is do to the fact that Iraq is a democracy because of GW?
