Osama Bin Laden DEAD (MERGED THREAD) (1 Viewer)

Sorry if this has been covered. Think we'll ever get to hear from the SEAL who delivered the kill shot?

I'd love to buy him and his boys a beer or 30.

 
I wonder how bin Laden's body was "cleansed" prior to burial, as per Islamic doctrine. If I'd been on board that ship, I would have downed about 18 Coors Lights and then volunteered to help out.

As others have said- I imagine that guy is not interested in having surviving members of Al-Qaeda and affiliated organizations know his identity.

Not news to DD, but the rest of the house might find this interesting: President Obama Watched Live Video Of Bin Laden Raid As It Happened

Obviously they aren't going to release what kind of technology is available in this regard, but it isn't a perfect system by any means. Combat Camera captures every mission of this in kind in one way or the other, and usually the media is poured over post mission. This one was real time (possibly with a satellite delay) so I would guess this was done with SPECOPs specific materials. Just as this technology allows the U.S. to have their top leadership monitor missions, others in the recent past have used microsoft messenger from command to raid teams and they lost contact the minute the team left it's vehicle.

SEAL team 6 and Delta Force doesn't even exist. :shrug:

"Seal Team 6 is a cover for Delta" is the most commonly quoted line you hear.

That beard could probably hide a lot of bacon. Just sayin'.

Musharraf : How dare you kill that guy we were protecting

"American troops coming across the border and taking action in one of our towns, that is Abbottabad, is not acceptable to the people of Pakistan. It is a violation of our sovereignty," Mr. Musharraf told CNN-IBN, an Indian news channel."...

Especially eye-rolling considering word leaking out that the Bin Laden compound was actually an ISI (Pakistani) safe house.

Settle down, Beavis. It was a violation of their sovereignty. Musharraf also said it was a positive step.

If they existed they would work for JSOC and they would essentially be the same thing. I remember being on the flightline in Kandahar shooting video of various operations and a huge Army major tapped me on the shoulder and said, "you see that aircraft right there? I'd appreciate it if you didn't shoot anything that came off that." So I put my camera down, and watched what came off that aircraft. It was surreal.

I have been in several special forces compounds in Afghanistan through the years, and really have no idea who was who. Been on a few missions as well, and all I knew was that the lead operational contact was a Navy SEAL Master Chief. Not sure who he worked for or who on those teams belonged to whom, but there is a fine line between CIA, Special Forces and the various units that conduct black ops.

Also there is speculation that an Air Force Pararescue Airman was part of that mission as most SEAL teams carry them on all air to sea ops. :deathfromabove:

Born again waterboarders : former critics now benefit from "enhanced interrogation techniques"

Officials say CIA interrogators in secret overseas prisons developed the first strands of information that ultimately led to the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Current and former U.S. officials say that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, provided the nom de guerre of one of bin Laden’s most trusted aides. The CIA got similar information from Mohammed’s successor, Abu Faraj al-Libi. Both were subjected to harsh interrogation tactics inside CIA prisons in Poland and Romania.

I like to think they were wearing some futuristic strength-enhancing suits like on the newer GI Joe movie or in the books by Dale Brown (the Patrick McLanahan series).

Most obvious thing was the special wheelbarrow they port around in front of them to carry their ginormous balls around. I hear they're bigger than Randy Marsh's.

I'm sure its been said already, but I feel the need to say...Those in the Special Forces have a level of guts that I can't even begin to wrap my head around. To be dropped, in the middle of the night, into the teeth of quite possibly the most dangerous man in the world...their level of bravery is without comparison.

But this is what they dream about, isn't it? They spend their whole lives training for moments like these.

The only thing that strikes me as wrong is the room is too light. Whenever this sort of scene is portrayed in movies, or on The West Wing, the mission control rooms are always real dark, with shadows all over the place, along with computer screens everywhere.

Sure, but that doesn't make them any less brave.

For the record no. As soon as I read the buried at sea part, that voice in my head piped up. Not for political reasons at all. That just seems weird.
