webfact Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 US Seals dispute over Bin Laden killing(BBC) A public row has arisen over which US commando fired the shot that killed Osama Bin Laden, more than three years after the al-Qaeda leader's death.Ex-Navy Seal Robert O'Neill, 38, has told the Washington Post in a new interview he fired the fatal shot.This contradicts the account of Matt Bissonnette, another former Seal involved in the raid, in a 2012 book.The al-Qaeda leader was killed in a 2011 Navy Seal raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.Mr O'Neill, who retired in 2012, had previously told his story anonymously to Esquire magazine.He was scheduled to reveal his identity in a television interview later this month, but a website published Mr O'Neill's name pre-emptively in protest of his decision to go public, the Post reports.Full story: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29945568-- BBC 2014-11-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Diablo Bob Posted November 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2014 Personally, who cares who took the shot...... In my opinion, the fact that the mission was successfull and the shot was taken, well to me the TEAM was successfull! Good job 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Seastallion Posted November 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2014 Get your stories right, guys! It's when conflicting accounts occur that people start wondering and putting two and two together. Eg,why was the body disposed of so quickly? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eg,why was the body disposed of so quickly? When you take a poop....you flush. Not when you need the stool sample for study. Corroborating earlier intelligence about his health, for example, to verify that the intelligence had been correct. Another reason not to flush would be to proclaim to the world, "Look, I made doody!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood, and don't want to over moderate, but this topic is about a dispute within the SEAL team as to who actually killed Bin Laden during their raid. It's not about whether he was already dead or if this entire mission was made up. Thus, we are trying to keep the conversations on topic. OK? As for the Koh Tao threads, they are a mess and we will remove any posts referencing CSI LA or conspiracy theories. As best we can, anyway. The government has threatened legal action against any who post in this manner. We are in a difficult position. Hope you understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamariva1957 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Who cares who did what! The movie has already been made and no one is going to make another so no auditions are needed anymore. So if they all want to take credit for the shot then let them. No one is listening. The fact is that the guy is dead and that is that. So.... next story please!
