Above, President Obama announces the killing of bin Laden. |
President Barack Obama has lied about a number of things since he took office in 2009. So it is really not that big of a surprise that Obama lied about many facts about the nighttime raid in Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour M. Hersh spelled it out in a report posted by the London Review of Books.
Here's the first paragraph:
It’s been four years since a group of US Navy Seals assassinated Osama bin Laden in a night raid on a high-walled compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The killing was the high point of Obama’s first term, and a major factor in his re-election. The White House still maintains that the mission was an all-American affair, and that the senior generals of Pakistan’s army and Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) were not told of the raid in advance. This is false, as are many other elements of the Obama administration’s account. The White House’s story might have been written by Lewis Carroll: would bin Laden, target of a massive international manhunt, really decide that a resort town forty miles from Islamabad would be the safest place to live and command al-Qaida’s operations? He was hiding in the open. So America said.That is just the beginning. The article gets even juicier.
What about that so-called "burial at sea" story? According to Hersh, it never took place. Small wonder the Obama Administration refuses to release photos of bin Laden's corpse, despite numerous Freedom of Information Act demands.
You'll have to read the article for yourself by going here.
