From Ghazi Air Base in Pakistan, the modified MH-60 helicopters made their way to the garrison suburb of Abbottabad, about 70 miles from the center of Islamabad. Aboard were Navy SEALs, flown across the border from Afghanistan, along with tactical signals, intelligence collectors, and navigators using highly classified hyperspectral imagers.
After bursts of fire over 40 minutes, 22 people were killed or captured. One of the dead was Osama bin Laden, done in by a double tap -- boom, boom -- to the left side of his face. His body was aboard the choppers that made the trip back. One had experienced mechanical failure and was destroyed by U.S. forces, military and White House officials tell National Journal.
Were it not for this high-value target, it might have been a routine mission for the specially trained and highly mythologized SEAL Team Six, officially called the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, but known even to the locals at their home base Dam Neck in Virginia as just DevGru......

Fucking awsome...good job Bush...good job Barry.
-
I was watching some news channel last night, and a guy from the military said we would likely never know the men who were behind this raid.
Why is that? ???
-
Not to be political - but I wish Obama would have flown Bush in to be next to him when he gave that statement. Would have really made a huge impact.
-
I don't know a lot about Pakistan, but did they shit when they saw these foreign helicopters flying in or is that normal?
-
Or allowed the military to make the call.
As for the post about how we'll never know the folks who did this. Read the full posted article. Tier one SOF is beyond anything we generally get to see. There is some debate from some folks whether it was DEVGRU or CAG (Delta). JSOC is vast.....with lots of small teams and task forces.

Read the article. But we're doing more there month after month. I imagine they don't see upgunned Black Hawks much.

Tier One baby...
I know a couple of those guys from the work they did with us on our last Medal of Honor... You don't fuck with those cats.

Just finished it, cool stuff!

Different life entirely. I have a buddy with Task Force Orange..they're an intel gathering unit. They found Pablo Escobar and helped the "Columbian Police" (DELTA) kill him.

CIA ground forces... The stories these guys have are unreal... but when you listen to them, you know it's all 100 percent truth. They don't even sit there and act all bad ass, they just get to work.

My next door neighbor who's a Vietnam Vet turned out to be an armorer for the Jaw Breaker guys in Afghanistan . He retired out of FT Bragg and never left the life. He has to be in his late 50's.

I bet he's got some good stuff in his head... The shit that guy saw... damn.
-
He also happens to be from Mass. We're going shooting next weekend. Yeah..normal dudes...with balls.

Because the job doesn't end with the death of OBL for those guys? They don't exist, and for good reason.

That's pretty awesome.
I'm reading through "Hunting the Jackal" again right now, the memoirs of Billy Waugh. You ever check it out?

Oh yeah, I didn't consider that. Seal Team Six and these special op's guy fascinate me. Anyone recommend any books on the subject?
Blank Spots on the Map by Trevor Paglen was a good book. Delt with CIA and some other interesting stuff.

where is google-fu mstr benchmstr to enlighten us on all these happenings?

A Little More on US Navy SEAL TEAM SIX
Posted on Wednesday, February 08, 2012 4:32:43 AM
This is what the Navy SEAL team looked like
when they went in to get Bin Laden...
Some items of note:
50 caliber sniper on the right. Knee, knuckle and forearm protection. Various plastic/wire ties. Absolute identity denial to protect their families. Free choice of footwear. Fourth from the right has three artillery simulators and CS gas grenades on his belly... He's the 'shock and awe' guy.
Seal Team Six... can you imagine the look on Bin Laden's face when these guys came through the door?
This open letter from a retired USMC colonel received via e-mail:
________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________
Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American sailor, who Obama, just a few weeks ago, was debating on whether or not to PAY, did.
In fact, if you remember a little less than two years ago, his administration actually charged and attempted to court-martial 3 Navy Seals from Seal Team Six, when a terrorist suspect they captured, complained they had punched him during the take down and bloodied his nose. His administration further commented how brutal they were. The left were calling them Nazis and baby killers.
Now all of a sudden, the very brave men they vilified are now heroes when they make his administration look good in the eyes of the public. Obama just happened to be the one in office when the CIA finally found the bastard and our sailors took him out. Essentially, Obama only gave an answer. Yes or No, to him being taken out.
This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory...

A military tribune of officers is responsible for court martials....not the Justice Dept and he should know that.

I didn't know that any members of the US Navy Seals reported to Colonels in the US Marine Corp.
::)

Rush limbaugh, fox news, billo, and plenty of getbiggers would have blamed Obama extensively if the attempt to get OBL was a failure.
its one of those situations where a guy receives no credit when the mission he orders is a success, but would be crucified by the media if the mission was a failure.
Can't win for losing

HAHAHAH The picture YOU posted and BELIEVED to be 100 percent accurate shows a 1:16 scale model of plastic soldiers made by a Malaysian Blogger in October 2009.
HHAHHAHAHAHHHHAHH
And your article is bullshit. I hope this helps.

Bit of research might have paid off for you. For once. Instead of rushing onward with your Obama hatred.

The pic had nothing to do w the statement from the Col.
And the statement was dead right, Obama acting like scaled the wall and repellled out of the chopper is so beyond lucrious its not funny. But i guess if you are a delusional leftist communist obamabot like yourself who cant point to even one thing he has done right, you are have to hang your hat on something to try to drag this pofs over the finish line.
-
It happened on his watch, he gets credit.
Just like Bush got credit for letting OBL slip away to freedom when he had him cornered in the mountains.
Face it. Obama's foreign policy doctrine is a "killer".

Great job for him.

The only thing missing from the scene was Jessica Lynch with a wog-killing photon gun.

Hey idiot - did you cheer GWB when they caught KSM like you douches are jizzing each other OBL?
KSM was more the mastermind than OBL, not that you actually care.

Let's not try to change the subject to your delusional rants ok.
You FAILED again with your little courier argument.
Just like you FAILED with your little bump of this thread. Best to move along and post elsewhere and let this fall off the first page.

LOL. Whatever - I gave credit to obama for not getting in the way on this and thats it. He did not go through buds, did scale the wall, did not repell out of the chopper, did not sling a rifle and shoot up the stairs, and did not take out OBL.
-
If it went wrong, you would be crying and blaming him nonstop. If you say you wouldn't, you are just lying. No surprise.
If he is in position to take the blame, he is in position to take the credit.
Suck it whiney boy.

No president or person in that spot would ever not do this. Had obama attacked america again like 9/11, and then it came out that thugbama gave up the chance to get obl when he had a chance, he would be impeached.
-
Like Bush was impeached?
Again, you should let this thread drop off the first page. You are only dazzling us with your stupidity here.

Like what? The direct policies obama has pushed that have been a fucking disaster lay squarely at his feet as well as the actions of those he places into agencies and cabinet level offices.

He bumped this old thread with bullshit.
Got caught and then tried to spin it with more "courier" bullshit.
Got caught in that and is still trying to spin it and cry about Obama. ::)
Hahaha. You are a fucktard. You know what that is? It's someone that makes a retard look advanced.
-
actual footage of the raid :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Liars and Chumps, Chumps and Liars. Fucking amazing.
-
LOL. Yeah - some says - hey Bush- OBL is in the Rockies we got em and you think that is going to work.
the generals were all over fox, cnn, and mcnbs... SCREAMING that we're letting OBL get away.
some big ass caravan drove right out the unbombed north road. you know why. we needed our boogeyman. No freaking way our advanced military let a donkey waddle out of those mountains without noticing it... yet OBL's entire entourage, when surrounded, sneaks out? LMFAO
you still believe in santa too? Bush wanted his fcking boogeyman.
