That the 2011 U.S. Navy SEAL raid on the Abbottabad compound where bin Laden was hiding in northern Pakistan was not a firefight in which SEALs went into a dangerous and unknown situation, but a setup in which Pakistan's military had been holding bin Laden prisoner in Abbottabad for five years and simply made him available to the SEALs who flew in helicopters to the compound on the night of the raid.

Not sure what to think, the whole thing stank from the moment it was aired though.... it always felt "off" to me. Based on the source (Seymour Hersh), I bet there is a lot of truth in this. How much? Dunno, but it is interesting.

I don't believe much from the media - but this story does make you think.

Didn't Osama bin Laden die of kidney failure 10 years ago?

Anyone who served in combat unit that didn't get a little bit suspicious about the no-body/buried at sea thing isn't worth their salty camo's

They never showed us his dead body did they?... and buried him at sea (where we'll never get to see it). Shit ain't right.

What exactly about a secret proper Muslim burial ceremony at sea do you find suspicious?

He was dead a long time ago, I am sure. The whole thing was staged to give props to Obummer and first Tranny Michael.

We buried him at sea, took no pictures and thats that... LOL. Saddam we took pictures of once we pulled him out his hole. Put him on trial. When he wouldnt eat, we forced him to eat. There was also a video leaked of his hanging....
But the most wanted man in the world for 10+ years was just thrown at sea to show respect for his islamic beliefs. Who ever came up with that sorry ass story should be thrown to the sea.

Hersh's account of the bin Laden raid is a farrago of nonsense that is contravened by a multitude of eyewitness accounts, inconvenient facts and simple common sense.
