I'm kinda torn on this one. In general, I think veterans violate a trust when then write books about classified operations. On the other, if this exposes The Kenyan for his own lies and misdeeds, more power to him. Like I said, I'm a bit conflicted here. [:)]
Its a question No doubt in my mind. OBL Might have been on Ice for a long time. Benazir Bhutto was assassinated soon after this interview.

Speculation

I think the SEAL knew what he was doing. He's probabaly love to take this to court.
IMHO
Poor form.
oboma the blamer just does not like being upstaged by a lowly seal.i wonder what info is on obomas selective service form. don,t you still have to regester? eastbank.
Probably enlisted scum at that.
There is speculation that OBL had been on ice long before the SEAL raid?
Tell me about it. I have a slow computer connection today and couldn't open that youtube link.
I just can't figure out who the customers are that are gobbling up all of these books.
Do they actually read them, or just put them into a library?
God knows I don't have the time for it.
If I remember correctly, didn't Obama give his Hollywood friends access to classified material in order to write/produce a movie based on the bin Laden raid? Couple that with the numerous leaks, and you have grounds for impeachment and removal from office.
And that is exactly why this will never be more that talk show fodder. The regime does not want this going to court.

This is kinda complicated- Benazir Bhutto was trying to restore democracy in Pakistan before it it was recognized as a terrorist state in 06-07. In short she wanted PM/General Musharraf to round up the thugs including OBL's murderer that was also a known terrorist.
What makes it complicated, OBL was employed by the CIA during the Russian skirmish in Afghanistan. After that it becomes "The enemy of my enemy is our friend.
and it back fired on the USA.
You can spend 100's of hours on C-span's congressional testimonials and international interviews & documents that puts as OLB Long gone.
Edit: Wanted to add, its almost like when you tell a lie and you get caught you tell another to cover up the first one? This one has been snowballing for years.
A lot of former US "friends" wind up in big trouble, like Noriega in Panama and the Egyptian dictator.

No. You do not remember correctly.
"It was due to work done by us, we set the stage for this," etc. etc.
That all makes sense if, in fact, bin Laden was actually killed 6 years ago.
Well I know that bin Laden was on the US side during the Russian War.
A lot of former US "friends" wind up in big trouble, like Noriega in Panama and the Egyptian dictator.
How old would he have been during the Russian incursion into Afganastsan?
Where are all his wives they picked up? His sons?
Which means he would have been over thirty at the end, the Russians beat their head against the wall in that hell hole nearly as long as we have done.
Like Clint said, we didn't ask the Russians for advice about an Afghan invasion.

Soon the movie "Zero Dark Thirty" will be in theaters. If you haven'e heard about it, it's a film about the Navy SEAL's attack on Osama bin Laden's Pakistani compound.
By the way, the Obama movie has been put on hold until after the election.
Controversy erupted last year when New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote that the film was supposed to be released weeks before the November 6 presidential election. The premiere subsequently was put off until after the election, though film trailers have been released by Sony Pictures.
When the White House Leaks Classified Information to Hollywood
Director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal, who are making a movie about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, got to talk to those directly involved with the raid at a time when the Defense Department was telling everybody to stop talking:
"
According to the documents, the filmmakers were granted access to a Navy SEAL captain who was the "planner, operator and commander of SEAL Team Six," which killed bin Laden. In one memo one of the filmmakers says he had a "good meeting with Brennan and McDonough" and says "they were forward leaning, sharing their point of view on command and control."
John Brennan is the president's chief counterterrorism adviser, and Denis McDonough is deputy national security adviser.
In putting the filmmakers together with the SEAL Team Six commander on the raid, Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael Vickers writes in one document, "The only thing I ask is that you not reveal his name in any way . because he shouldn't be talking out of school."

So it's alright for the Obama administration to leak information?

Give Hollywood access to the top brass but those guys at the bottom shouldn't talk. Sounds like a conspiracy in the making.
