    This photo was taken in the situation room during the two attacks on the annex and villa in Benghazi.

    If you remember it was on a Sunday evening when Obama went on national television to announce that he had killed OBL before the Navy SEAL's were debriefed and an after action report was written up.

    With in days after the SEAL's were debriefed and the after action report had worked its way up the chain of command we learned Obama got it wrong.

    We would also learn from the two books that were published by two of the SEAL's that in the following months leading up to the raid the SEAL's were ordered to stand down twice and maybe three times by the Obama White House.

    It's believed that it was Valerie Jarrett who convinced Obama to not conduct the whacking of OBL because it was to close to reelection and if it failed...

    So Obama threw it on Leon Panetta's lap who threw it on Admiral McRaven's lap along with a note, basically if the raid is a failure, the Navy SEAL's would be blamed not the Obama White House.

    Odd how the VP, SoS, SoD, et al were all available for that surprise attack, and able to get to the WH, while it was still happening....

    Deaths were minimized and the ISIS prisoners were captured.

    Delta are Army special forces, their specialty is assaulting military bases/fortifications.

    Likely they were in uniform.

    Raid that killed OBL

    https://www.npr.org/2011/05/03/135951504/timeline-the-raid-on-osama-bin-ladens-hideout

    3:32 p.m. — Obama returns to the Situation Room for additional briefing.

    3:50 p.m. — Obama first learns that bin Laden was tentatively identified. Shortly after the raid, Pakistani leaders are briefed of the actions.

    7:01 p.m. — The president learns that there's a "high probability" the target was bin Laden.

    8:30 p.m. — Obama receives further briefings.

    11:35 p.m.The president speaks to the nation from the East Room. "Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan," Obama says. "A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body."

    May 2
    1:10 a.m. — Burial ceremony for bin Laden begins on the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson in the north Arabian Sea. The body is washed according to traditional religious practice, wrapped in a white sheet and placed in a weighted bag. After the religious ceremony, which lasts 50 minutes, the body is eased into the sea.

    Shortly before 11 a.m. — DNA evidence confirms that the dead body is that of bin Laden.

    She's not emailing anyone.. Why are you so petty? The two attacks were horrific and unexpected.

    There was no money allocated for embassy or consulate security EXCEPT in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Nope. Go to the source or do your own search. That's during Benghazi.

    I'd have him put in a bag full of pig ****, left to rot for a month in the sun, then I'd dropped him in an undisclosed cesspool.
    You don't give a religious burial to someone responsible for the death of +3k civilians.

    Valerie Jarrett was Obama's leader.

    But Obama always gave Vladimir Putin what he wanted.

    April 29, 2011 was a Friday NOT a Sunday night.

    Obama is a much stronger and smarter man than Trump. Trump is petty, insecure and lacks all impulse control. Trump's IMAGE is primary whereas Obama is sweating bullets over outcomes.

    Have you ever seen Obama shooting a shotgun ?

    He doesn't shoot like an American but like a pantywaist European .

    Wow you are petty. Is that your measure of a man? Isn't Obama left handed?

    Obama is lean and mean and emotionally far stronger than Trump.

    Look at it. Maybe only the photographer Pete Souza knows, but the photo is being used for the OBL raid and Benghazi attacks.

    Key difference here is that the OBL raid lasted 40 minutes. Benghazi lasted nearly 7 hours.

    Put on your critical thinking cap.

    they are not autonomous and on a raid like this they would be in uniform of some sort to avoid friendly fire. They are nowhere near mercenaries, not sure where you get that from.
