Bin Laden Had A Gun Before He Didn't Have One Again
My headline is as confusing as this column on Politico about administration officials changing their story of how the bin Laden raid went down.
Talk about the gang who couldn't shoot straight. I haven't seen stories change this much since last call during dollar beer night at my fishing club.
Osama may or may not have had a gun which he may or may not have fired while he may or may not have used a woman as a human shield who may or may not have been his wife who herself may or may not have been shot and killed, all while bin Laden's son was killed (no not that one the other one).
Maybe they should appoint just one guy to do the talking. Amateurs.
Or better yet - release the photo and video so we can just see what happened ourselves.
UPDATE 2:58 PM:
Jay Carney: "Even I'm getting confused."

Typo. Typo. Typo alert.

People talking out of their pants before the debrief and after action reports have been typed up.

Re: Bin Laden Had A Gun Before He Didn't Have One Again
I agree with the adage that first reports are always wrong. I'm going to suspend judgment for a couple days. The story will probably have a few embarrassing details slip out along the way. That's OK.
Re: Bin Laden Had A Gun Before He Didn't Have One Again
Ok I changed "my" to "may" (If spell check doesn't catch it neither do I).
Where's the other two typos?

I just want to know about his computers. Mac or PC? And did they find any porn on them?

I agree. The ever-changing story is disconcerting.
Was it a double tap or a single shot above the eye? If he took two bullets, one to the head and one to the CoM, that would be quite bad aim if it was a double tap.

It was Colonel Mustard in the library with the candlestick.

Mr De Seno, forgive me, but unless I am going mad, I saw the following in your post at first: Obama may or may not have had a gun...
Re: Bin Laden Had A Gun Before He Didn't Have One Again
That's Ok. I hear some high profile reporters recently made the same innocent mistake!
But you had me reading, re-reading and doing further spell-checks in Microsoft Word (at least I did find the one typo).
I'm a little on edge about typos because I often post here to Ricochet during a busy work day without doing a spell check. Then I go back later and see all my mistakes and wonder why I haven't been fired.

Unfortunately, he had a devilish security application. Every time the CIA clicks on a file, they get Rick-rolled.

I heard Joe Biden rappelled out of a helicopter, busted down the door, said "Terrorize this!" and took Osama down with his patented finishing move, the Railspike.
I am so glad he didn't go out in a blaze of glory, though. Instead, it was a sad little Saddam-style execution. Then dumped off a boat. A big boat, admittedly.
Re: Bin Laden Had A Gun Before He Didn't Have One Again
The "railspike." Ha Ha!

There are also rumors circulating that Mr Obama, in fact, led from behind in the decision to take out Mr Bin Laden. He was on the Golf course at the time.

Re: Bin Laden Had A Gun Before He Didn't Have One Again
I suspect we'll get the whole story with veracity verified very soon from the Most Transparent Administration in History.
Oops. Had my Sarcasmostat set to "High."

Re: Bin Laden Had A Gun Before He Didn't Have One Again
The White House can't release the video until James Cameron finishes post-production on it, which can't happen until Obama and his National Security team decide whether Osama had a gun, whether he used a human shield, whether his wife was killed or wounded or neither....

Also, I think they have to CGI Pres. Obama's face on the CO.

Re: Bin Laden Had A Gun Before He Didn't Have One Again
Does no one else have the impression that all this spinning and respinning of the events by this administration stems from a terror on their part that this may be labled for what it is, an assassination? The idea that we simply went in to execute bin Laden seems to be a serious ideological problem for them.
