Seems like he was still thinking like a CIA asset.

Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce may have been able to help out on that image issue.

Thanks SDR for your CH-47 input. Possibly I missed the article that mentioned such support, leaving me in a vacuum as to how all these bodies left the area on one of the original mission choppers.

Your summation of the past ten years is basically accurate and I agree. At this point I loathe both parties, since they’ve merged into one in terms of their mission to scuttle the U.S. and turn us into simply a minor plantation among the greater global community of such, all serving the needs of billionaire soon to become trillionaire planetary oligarchs.

Carl need to pay attention to the details. If memory serves, the Seals brought in another helicopter, (a modified CH-47 or a variant?) to lift out the other Seals. My guess would be they had one or two extra in high orbit near the strike site or maybe it was flown in from Afghanistan? After all, they were on the ground for 40 minutes….

“Ten years, a trillion bucks along with a trashed …” I don’t think this statement is presented accurately. Lets review some history, Bush come into office when a surplus was present and the CBO projected continued surpluses. Bush starts two wars, one righteous one illegal, and funds them off the books with borrowed money from foreign governments . The economy starts to turn and GW and the Republicans cut taxes, give a refund to those not needing it (myself included here). Then GW and the Republicans continue these actions the following years as the economy more steeply tanks. The late in his second term, the Mortgage market starts to go belly up and Bush and the Republicans make no attempt to stop it. All the while the economy just continued to go down the tubes. So, to sum it up GW and the Republicans took a surplus and projected surpluses for years to come and did what?

“he lamented in his final writings that al-Qaida was suffering from a marketing problem.” …OBL… extract from article

How in the hell do you ‘market’ terrorism? What, start a webzine and have terrorist of the month foldouts, showing ‘sexy’ female bombers all guzzied out in burkas and fanny packs filled with C4…? This is the most wacked out thing I’ve ever read and proves that OBL’s brain must have turned to mush, if this release is believable.

Ten years, a trillion bucks along with a trashed U.S. economy to get one man and a handful of others; ie., top level planners over the period Yep, we have the best and the brightest running our military ops…no?!

I still have a problem with this SOCOM insertion to get the man. 23 SEALS debarked on “two choppers”. One had to be destroyed due to a malfunction. Then all ’23′ exited on the remaining chopper along with OBL’s body, making the load 24 not including the pilots, unless they too were the pilots. It seems they loaded everything but the proverbial ‘kitchen sink’ onto this obviously overloaded chopper making their way back to sea; ie. computers, software, diaries, letters, pornography and the ‘kitchen sink’ of course. / : |
