WASHINGTON – Those who planned the secret mission to get Osama bin Laden in Pakistan knew it was a one-shot deal, and it nearly went terribly wrong.

The U.S. deliberately hid the operation from Pakistan, and predicted that national outrage over the breach of Pakistani sovereignty would make it impossible to try again if the raid on bin Laden's suspected redoubt came up dry.

Once the raiders reached their target, things started to go awry almost immediately, officials briefed on the operation said.

Adding exclusive new details to the account of the assault on bin Laden's hideout, officials described just how the SEAL raiders loudly ditched a foundering helicopter right outside bin Laden's door, ruining the plan for a surprise assault. That forced them to abandon plans to run a squeeze play on bin Laden — simultaneously entering the house stealthily from the roof and the ground floor.

Instead, they busted into the ground floor and began a floor-by-floor storming of the house, working up to the top level where they had assumed bin Laden — if he was in the house — would be.

They were right.

The raiders came face-to-face with bin Laden in a hallway outside his bedroom, and three of the Americans stormed in after him, U.S. officials briefed on the operation told The Associated Press. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to describe a classified operation.

Actually you are wrong there.
The reason why we can never "get reliable info" is...
The helmet cams that recorded the entire raid and most probably execution will never show anyone else than the people who watched the live monitors in the presidents briefing room.
So, until then all is speculation, I believe that is what the OP was doing.
Personally for me, Everything is a lie until these films are released.
But they are being OVERTLY and DELIBERATELY suppressed.
That alone SCREAMS something embarrassing happened.

That alone SCREAMS something embarrassing happened.


Here's the story as I read it today:

www.militarytimes.com...

a snippet:

The plan unraveled as the first helicopter tried to hover over the compound. The Black Hawk skittered around uncontrollably in the heat-thinned air, forcing the pilot to land. As he did, the tail and rotor got caught on one of the compound’s 12-foot walls. The pilot quickly buried the aircraft’s nose in the dirt to keep it from tipping over, and the SEALs clambered out into an outer courtyard.


Pretty embarrassing. I know it's serious stuff, but I will be surprised if the South Park team lets this one get away without spoofing it....I can just hear the SEALS... "DOH!" (and other such embarrassed utterances...)

The other aircraft did not even attempt hovering, landing its SEALs outside the compound.

Now, the raiders were outside, and they’d lost the element of surprise.

They had trained for this, and started blowing their way in with explosives, through walls and doors, working their way up the three-level house from the bottom.


But the part that makes me purse my lips sideways:::

The decision to launch on that particular moonless night in May came largely because too many American officials had been briefed on the plan. U.S. officials feared if it leaked to the press, bin Laden would disappear for another decade.


Too may officials had been briefed! Wait, what??
Who did they think would leak it?
Why did they brief all those people?
Was someone threatening to expose the plan??

What do you folks think??
