I've got no bias either way on this, just a random observation.

Not 'random' at all. I wish people would learn the meaning of this word and stop using it to pad sentences.

The article reads like some kind of panting bodice-ripper pulp, Barbara Cartland style. No credibility in sight.

What a silly statement

It reads more like a Hollywood script than a description of real events.

They're American. It was written by an American. What did you expect?

But Pinewood really ought to make a film depicting how a little old British lady did it without spilling a drop from her thermos of tea, just to piss them off and return a few favours to Hollywood

I find it 'interesting' that this story has been released so shortly after ALL the witnesses were killed.

But then i would..

all thats missing from that story is the line from the solider just before he pulls the trigger

and the solider who has to fight his demons and gets asked to come back for one last mission to make up for one where he lost his best friend.

maybe a solider with a link to 9/11 to give it a personal revenge angle too.

And a hastily crafted (A-Team style) armoured car made from a moped and some dustbin lids.

And Bin Laden's last words being 'Durka durka, Jihad'

His childhood friend (scope for excellent flashbacks to kids on Choppers in 80s kit) was forced to become a money broker in the Twin Towers to help pay for the violin lessons of a deaf and mute daughter with one arm. The soldier fought his alcohol addiction and his wife leaving him to live with a retired circus dwarf to get back into shape so he could go on the mission.

Hollywood script, or 24, you choose.
Irrelevant really, they shot his eye out anyway.
Google images bin laden dead, and you get a good photo.

Those pics are fakes aren't they?

Nope.
Sky News showed one about 4:30am the day of the raid.

Shot his God Damn eyes out.

Or that Bin Laden had seen the movie "I was Monty's Double" and substituted a look-alike to take the bullet.

Final frame, heli-cam zooms in to a swimming pool in a luxury villa somewhere in the Caribbean. Camera focuses on the back of a tall bearded man of Middle East appearance being served delicious food by bikini-clad beauties. He turns to camera and we see with shock who it really is. He turns to camera and softly says "سأعود"*

• "I'll be back"

That's a novel not a factual account.....

This sums it up

"Deploying four Chinooks was a last-minute decision made after President Barack Obama said he wanted to feel assured that the Americans could “fight their way out of Pakistan.”

Are we really supposed to believe that the military planners didn't have a comprehensive contingency plans and that "President Barack Obama" insisted or came up with one ?

President Barack Obama can't even decide what camera to look into most of the time. He'll have just sat there and gone "huhuh" as the military told him what they were doing.

[MadMullah]

you can really tell how its written for an american audience with a pro-obama line up.

is the new yorker a pro-democrat paper?

and why do the terrorists always have porn on their pc's?!

lets not get the in-team feud that only got resolved when the helicopter went down and one rescued the other. with that moment they had mutual unexpressed respect for each other.

No you can be MY wingman anytime!

Why should they be different to everyone else in that respect?

Sling in some dumb bint with a cracking set of norks for the obligatory shag fest just before he leaves on the mission and I think we've pretty much got this one in the bag.

just linking in with the alcohol addiction and the wife leaving him - we can have end credits scene where the news is on and the wife hears about the killing of OBL and then she has a flashback of the solider saying "I've gotta go away for a while and i'm not sure if i'm coming back. but i want you to know i never meant to hurt you." at which point she leaves the dwarf drives her car to the barracks where its raining heavily inexplicably and the end up kissin in the rain. boom there's your armageddon-bruce-willis-dying tear jerk moment.

What is it about tales of military endeavours that turns otherwise normal forum participants into, without question, the most boring, cynical, disbelieving, know-it-all, holier than thou, egotistical, misguidedly patriotic tts?

Genuine question.

[MadMullah]

Firstly its not a definate account. I'm sure a certain artistic license was used when writing it.

secondly its not the actual real life events/soliders we're having a dig at here

its the story writing style of this guy which is given like a script straight from hollywood

personally if the CIA paid me a fair whack i'd have been in and out and had OBL naked outside buckingham palace in a few days
