I also basically believe the government’s account of Bin Laden’s death, although there would be more details involved that we may never know.
The Navy Seals are likely especially dedicated, honorable and patriotic Americans to go through the training they endure. They would be loyal to the office of the president, but doubt they have any special dedication to Obama specifically. The idea that dozens of these guys, now known by many hundreds of their buddies, could be used in some major media circus to boost Obama’s standing in the polls, and then relied on to never reveal the truth is a really big stretch. Not to mention all the CIA guys involved leading up to the raid, doctors on the ship and other staff.
Also curious that no police showed up at the compound.
Has Bin Laden’s shot up wife shown up anywhere?
40 minutes does seem like a long time to be in a firefight in that small compound.
