Guest rigeViorieKer Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 The nail-biting, 40-minute clandestine operation that resulted in Osama bin Laden's death could have been a calamitous political and military failure; a bloodbath in Pakistan that left U.S. forces and scores of civilians dead or captured by America's most ferocious enemy. Or, as it happened, it could unfold largely in textbook fashion — delivering a stunning success for the often maligned intelligence community, a political and national security coup for a struggling president and revenge for Americans still carrying vivid memories of Sept. 11. By secretly sending a team of special operations forces into an enemy fortress in a suburban neighborhood of a sovereign country, President Barack Obama chose the path of greatest risk, but also greatest reward. There were so many ways it could have gone wrong. As U.S. officials evaluated their options, Obama asked for a gut check from top members of his national security team. source: news.yahoo.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HillBillyWhisperer 20 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 In typical fashion, O'bama could not make a hard decision. Intelligence said we needed to move now and O'bama had to sleep on it over night...16 hours before he decided to go in. Glad he finally made the right decision and we executed that sick booger but we were lucky that any intelligence we had did not leak and Osama high tailed it outta there in those 16 hours of indecision.
