The Secret Team That Killed bin Laden

[dainthomas]

Prior to entering Pakistan airspace they jammed the radars system and were flying low level and entered Pakistan area. Due to jammers the radars could not pick them up.

Only one man would dare give me the raspberry....LONE STAR!!

You guys really need to ask the question why Osama was in Pakistan and not Afghanistan. The US and NATO forces were running most of the operations in Aghanistan but in Pakistan he knew that US was limited to drone strikes. If a guy felt safer in the heart of Pakistan rather than the lawless tribal regions you obviously know that he had protectors in the establishment who knew about his whereabouts.

Don't you mean Osama?

oops sorry. fixed.

Pretty cool read. Love reading about these guys since they are the best of the best and 99.9% missions go unsung.

If the Pakistanis knew, OBL wouldn't have been there. It's that simple.

LOL The treasure trove of intelligence sucked up by the team is bound to turn up all sorts of interesting details about OBLs connections to Pakistani military/ISI. I'll bet a lot of people in Pakistan are extremely nervous about now.

I'm sure there are a lot of people over there shitting their pants right now and for once it isn't due to the food.

This is a good thing?

Attacking people when we have killed Osama?

Our goal of killing Osama (metaphorically) has been reached. There is no need to go after those that helped Osama now.

What could you possibly hope to gain by finding out Pakistanis helped Osama?

Another war?!

What about justice and revenge and to send a message of deterrence to anyone else that might want to help terrorists? Also, they are potential terrorist threats themselves if they had that kind of sympathy for Bin Laden.

This is very important information that we need to know before we keep sending them millions (billions?) of dollars. Reality is reality and A is A. If Pakistan is one of our nation's enemy's then we need to know about it, especially since they have nuclear weapons that we might either want to disable or seize.

 

[Zorkorist]

Odds are we know all there is to know about Pakistan, by now. In this new era, we can use this information without inflating hate between our people and the people of Pakistan.

For sure it's not the people of Pakistan we hate, it's a few individual rulers, etc.

This is one of the largest lessons we have learned from 9/11 and the Osama era.

What we can do today, noW that Osama is dead, is sit back and dictate some shit to countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. "Dudes... this is the way it is. Stop fucking with your people, ASAP. Allow them some opportunity. Give them freedom to express themselves.

Clamp down on Religion, in favor of the state. As a state, build roads, educate children, treat the infirm."

Osama was a cash cow for the Pakistani military and it's top officials. Pakistan was getting billions of dollars and military technology for their “help”. Do simple math if he got killed 6 years ago when he started living in this compound the military would have minimum 12 billion dollars less. Don't think that this money goes to their troops etc. Most of it gets distributed among the top leadership. They work in a mafia type structure where the top guy gets the most and the little guys get less.
The only reason why Osama was killed was because someone in the military decided their cut wasn't large enough or a early retirement was in order. The bounty was 50 million I would think that the administration payed some officials more then 100 million for Osamas head.
They negotiated a price and got the location from an official. The Pakistani military was not notified, radars were jammed low level flight was used exploiting a hole in their radar. We should hunt down the ones that helped him and kill them. Pakistan shouldn't receive and more aid from the international community. They have proved to be a dishonest cowardly and corrupt nation. They are not friend of the USA and a bad member of the international community. Wasn't Musharraf a top general who got power in a military coup and then was forced out by the current President. ??? Think about it. There is no way he didn't know that Osama was in Pakistan. LOL Musharraf was Osama's neighbour. He got millions of dollars for a book deal the man is a multi millionaire many times over. Did you buy his book?

 

[Zorkorist]

How much money does one need to live in the lap of luxery in Pakistan?

Not much.

So wouldn't Osama have been sold out for the $25 Million reward by someone? Of all the people that knew he was there (theoretically) no one takes the American $25 Million Dollar reward?

Balderdash.

No one new he was there.

[pcgeek11]

kewl....

I wonder why they chose SEALS Team Six rather than Delta Force?

Because the US Navy SEALs are the badest MFer's in the world.

He wasn't sold out earlier because people in charge of the country were making more money then that by keeping him alive. Even if you sold him out how long do you think you would live to enjoy your money in Pakistan? Not very long. The place is corrupt everybody takes bribes and only people in charge/connected are allowed to have money.
Do you think if you were some army official you would be allowed to deposit 25 mil or 50 mil whatever it was in a bank? LOL No one sold him out for the reward money because it just wasn't enough.

 

[Baasha]

On the news today they said the top brass including Obama watched the entire raid LIVE moment by moment(?)!! That is insane and absolutely awesome!

Man.. seeing helmet-cams etc. and live-stream video of the execution of bin Laden would sell for $99.95 a piece!

 

[Zebo]

Yeah I saw that too Bassha. I can't find it now but there are pics of the O team watching it live. You could probably pay off some of the national debt if they were smart and PPVed it.

Every dog must have his day otherwise rule of law/justice/threat of retribution means little and essentially condones behavior. Not only that, in pakistan there is a low level civil war going on and our side will want to know who the dogs were and most likely will do deed for us.

Someone should write to Obama and give him an idea for raising the money needed to end the budget deficit.

(Sorry for jacking your idea, Zebo. I typed that up before I came down to your posts.)

The U.S Navy SEAL is building quite a reputation. Head-shot kills of the Somali Pirates in the Indian Ocean and then they got Osama.

They've always had the reputation and since the fall of the Soviet Union they've gotten even tougher as the military shifted its focus. Three years of extra training including everything from explosives to a mock POW camp with failure rates as high as 80%. The competition is so fierce these days some units are all doctors and lawyers and engineers. Not just tough and mean and sharp as a tack, but well educated too.

The Navy has the smartest enlisted people in the world, in fact most are smarter than the Officers in charge of the teams.

How smart can they really be if they've willingly agreed to being stuck on a boat for a year or two with only other men on board?
