#2 The radio this morning said the same things as Joe - SEALS were ready to fight their way out.

I figger that's true, wherever they go, but maybe no one told zero about the deal W made? Or did he just not believe it?

#3 There have been many versions of the story so far by the 0's administration. Maybe one day there will be "transparency". But then will anyone believe it when they see/hear it? I don't see how the narrative back home got so screwed up for a mission that operationally went so well. "0" could have ridden this horse for quite awhile if he had been a tad bit smarter.

#4 US forces were given permission to conduct unilateral raid inside Pakistan if they knew where bin Laden was hiding, writes Declan Walsh in Islamabad.

Petreaus visisted the PAK Army Chief of Staff and former ISI Chief one week before the INFIL. I think most of us can take it from there.
