He had thought it was possible to keep an element of surprise and evade any response from Pakistan’s military if the U.S. Navy SEALs could complete the mission in 30 minutes, Adm. William “Bill” McRaven told CNN last week in his first in-depth interview about the operation.
But after killing bin Laden and his bodyguards, some SEALs went down to the second floor of bin Laden’s house and found a treasure trove of hard drives and documents. Now they were trying to pick up all this, which was stretching the time on target.
After about 40 minutes, McRaven was “getting a little bit anxious,” he recalled. Speaking to the ground commander, he said, “Hey, get everything you can. But it’s time to wrap this up and get out of Abbottabad.” As they lifted off from the Abbottabad compound, the SEALs had spent 48 minutes on the ground.
Bin Laden should’ve been brought to trial, not killed in cold blood and then have his body dumped into the sea which is against international law, Mraven and Obama should be tried for war crimes.
one great moment in a losing battle against Islamic terror.
Where is he buried? How was he killed? How come no photos of his death?
They should satyed longer and get more information and money
