Info from new Bin Laden book starting to come out.

After reading this article on the Huffington Post, any respect I had for Navy Seals is gone. I know, I know, broad brush..... Read it and see what you think.

The military is under civilian control If you do not like the civilian elected leadership, then resign.

some say that he gave the Navy Seals too much publicity and shouldn't have mentioned them, now this guy says they didn't get enough credit.

IMO Obama made the right call and gave credit where it was due.

If this guy wants to be famous that's fair enough but that negates everything the Fox fanatics said about leaks.
