GOOD Lord. Can these people get anything right here?

What a friggin mess they are making of it.

Osama bin Laden dead: Blackout during raid on bin Laden compound - Telegraph

The head of the CIA admitted yesterday that there was no live video footage of the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound as further doubts emerged about the US version of events.

Quote:
Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, revealed there was a 25 minute blackout during which the live feed from cameras mounted on the helmets of the US special forces was cut off.

A photograph released by the White House appeared to show the President and his aides in the situation room watching the action as it unfolded. In fact they had little knowledge of what was happening in the compound.
More propaganda from the WH. I thought it was strange on Sunday when one of his minions said obama didn't watch the raid and now we know why.

Of course, they could just be saying this to cover up what they did in that house.

3 of the 4 guards were unarmed as well.

Are you so naive as to believe that propaganda isn't a necessary part of what our government needs to do to get a major job done like killing bin Laden? So what if they "lost" 25 minutes of watching the real time raid? It gives our officials a disclaimer on the world stage when it comes to answering a UN inquiry, for one thing. The only "mess" we have here in is your head---first you're criticizing them for having a real time feed into the White House, and now you're complaining because they say they lost 25 minutes of that feed. Unreal!

I never complained about a real time feed. When they said they would be releasing video of the raid I was pleased.

Come to find out, they really don't have video of the raid OR they're lying.

So NOW you're all into propaganda, A-ok with it, huh?

Reminds me of that Jodi Foster movie about aliens and going to other planets and the government covering up her trip which was recorded as a blackout. I think Bammers Admins watch too many movies.

"Hey Biden"

"What Bammers"

"Get Oliver Stone on the horn"

"Why Bammers"

"We just did a covert operation and I need a good story line to cover it up."

LMAO

What a bunch of frigging buffoons.

Exactly! What WERE they watching and why are they now saying there was a 25 minute blackout where nothing was coming through?

What the hell is going on here?
