#3 Though I agree that too much information was given (what they found, who conducted the raid), I can see the point of, "Well you left a helicopter in the middle of Islamabad, kinda tough to deny a raid."

#4 Well, we coulda had Hillary say it was rogue elephants, uh, elements or something. What's the point of having a Secretary if he or she never "disavows any knowledge of your actions?"

#5 Right, swksvolFF. OBL's dead, US SEALS did it - and now the enemy is probably just as confused as everyone else as to exact operational details.

That would roll back some of the damage BHO's premature elocution no doubt did, so maybe it's good this dispute is being aired in public?

#6 All I know is by towards the end of the announcement I was telling them to shut up about it, then Joe "Stand Up for Us" Biden splerted the name at a pep rally all I could hope for is misdirection from the get-go, but then remembered how poorly crazy uncle joey did when he cried at the vp debate.

Just thinking, throw so much smoke that even if someone found the fire, they would think there are more.

Would have been fun if, after the helo was abandoned and everyone accounted for to drop some massive ordinace like a FAB so any pieces left would hardly be described as neat-o helo, rumor the sounds were emergency gas venting. Maybe the left it there to cover the ISI turncoat, whatever. Just so long as they don't figure out the spy squirrels used to map the building.
