(4,876 posts)However every other reference to this story talks about getting "Bin Laden" not getting Osama.
This is like when Fox shows a convicted to indicted Republican and puts a "D" next to their name...

(53 posts)It's a dumb accident, but it's clearly an accident. The college intern on the message controls isn't Illuminati. Accidents happen.

(4,876 posts)that used Osama Bin Ladens first name only as an identifier?
Find me ONE. And I'll agree that what I posted was wrong. Find me one single news story from anywhere, not just CNN that referred to Bin Laden as just "Osama"..
In case you hadn't noticed the daily paranoid rantings about Ebola and ISIS stopped on Wed... Gee I wonder what could have happened on Tues to make those stories unnecessary?
And friend, you are talking to one of Obama's biggest detractors, so don't think this has anything to do with him, this is about the media and the way they screamed bloody murder about "respecting the office" when Bush was in there.

(189 posts)I don't think it matters how many I post. I don't expect you to say "I was wrong".
Also where did you get the idea I first heard of Obama in 2008? That is odd.

(269,003 posts)As SomethingFishy pointed out they never ever use Osama without the Bin Laden part.
Enjoy your stay.

O'Neill has a two part feature airing on Fox, but a different Seal wrote a book that tells a different story:
He was still twitching and convulsing, Matt Bissonnette, 38, said in his book, No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama Bin Laden, which he wrote under the name Mark Owen. Another assaulter and I trained our lasers on his chest and fired several rounds.

Whether O'Neill's story is true or not we are deserving of the truth from the government of what happened on that raid. The Al Qaeda of Bin Laden's creation is a spent force and the current Al Qaeda is still dangerous but looks nothing like what Bin Laden created. The reason the government does not want to talk about this issue is because they don't want the public to know anymore about the various collection tools they have access to that are Extra-Constitutional. Anyone who talks about this issue just draws attention to an area the government is happy that the public is ignorant about.
