Seal Team Six: The Inside Story

"Laden with conspiracy theories and attacks on the Obama White House, Chuck Pfarrer's "SEAL Target Geronimo" claims an alternative version of the raid in which the SEAL team shot bin Laden within 90 seconds of arriving at the Pakistan compound where the al-Qaida mastermind was holed up."

If The U.S. Special Operations Command is not blowing smoke then I would agree.

CV if you remember when they first got to the compound, they had a helo go down and had to go to plan b real fast. So until there is positive proof to indicate otherwise, I will still side with the Seal team and SOCOM. My own opinion is that this former Seal, got out in the 80's, is a writer and a writer writes to sell books. If and a big if anyone on the Seal Team that was there spoke him, you have two problems. That Seal gave out classified information and pfarrer put classified info in his book.

Why am I not surprised by the motivation behind this thread?

What would be the motivation behind Fox News doing a story on it, in your opinion?

Wait, I forgot. The author criticizes the president throughout the book.

Never mind. I answered my own question.

msnbc reports, calls it a lie

Based on what some here have said, there are some major questions about the author's validity. I could care less aobut his opinion on Obama. We all have those. To use the Bin Laden mission as the point for a book sale, ie. something a reader would find interesting is what it is. An intensional publicity gimmick whose validity he fortifies by being ex Seal. No, I'm skeptical of his version of how things happened. I'm with Navycop on this one.

Actually, MSNBC doesn't call it a lie. The AP does (you know the "state controlled Associated Press" as Limbaugh characterizes them?).

The AP story you linked to on MSNBC is the same story mentioned earlier by heartless.

So, this former Navy Seal commander made up the whole thing for his book, apparently. He's had his 15 minutes of fame and he's laughing all the way to the bank.

So we're left with the original story, which is still a lesson in teamwork and military precision.

There will always be opportunists.......

One day, a cabinet member will write about the raid --- my bet is Hillary among the first to publish an account.
