    That all makes sense, but then why fly a top secret helicopter into Pakistan as a cover story? Why not just claim he was killed somewhere in Afghanistan?

    The whole story is likely at least 50% bullshit, but the hard part is determining which 50%.

      I mean, if they knew his location then why wouldn’t they just precision-strike it with a missile rather than risk him getting away by sending in a team in a highly time-sensitive mission that likely could have alerted OBL to the operation?

      I wonder if they sent people in so they could rely on eyewitness testimony as part of the cover story.

      …this is all brazen speculation and yeah it’s tinfoil hat material, I know.
