I couldn't believe that - they don't have kitchens and cooks at the White House, they phone out for pizza? really?

You've probably got a kitchen and (someone who fills the role of) a cook.
I bet you still phone out for pizza.
Sometimes it's just quicker and easier, even for Mr President.

I have a feeling this whole episode will (if it hasn't already) become a level in a forthcoming COD game...
Battlefield surely, as it had vehicles in it?

They are SEALs. The same as the SAS, their life is based upon f**ng up and killing mean people, usually people who aren't exactly going to call the police on them........ That's why most of them don't get too public.......... But I don't think they will be kakking themselves.

Yes but if they drafted in the kitchen staff on a sunday with everyone in then surely questions would be asked which is why they ordered in.

As I understood it Obama asked the Seals who shot him and they all declined to comment. I cant remember where I read it but apparently they all agreed on the helicopter on the way in that who ever got him no one would say.

That sounds like one of those really cool stories that didn't happen.

Well aware of that.

Point was, that if you had killed the worlds most wanted man, who had a legion of mentalist followers who weren't afraid of some suicide revenge, you wouldn't broadcast it would you.

As much of a tough-man as you could be, some randomer finds you, walks up for a hug wearing 5kg of C4, only ending one way

Eventually one of them will find themselves on the bones of their ass and sell the story to the highest bidder.

Going back to ordering the take away vs WH kitchen. A while back there was a behind the scenes documentary type show which followed Obama around the White House for a day. Highlight of the show for me was Obama telling his secret service detail to mount up and head out...to the local burger bar. hehe.
