H*LY CRAP! We finally know the reason why photos of Bin Laden’s body were never released…

The Right Scoop    Apr. 10, 2017 5:09 pm by The Right Scoop


We are learning from a new book why Bin Laden’s photos were never published.

Robert O’Neill’s new book called The Operator, explains just why the photos of his dead body were never released.


Quote
BUSINESS INSIDER – The man who claims he was the SEAL Team 6 operator who shot Osama bin Laden in 2011 has written a new book, and his retelling of that raid shows the reason photos of the terror leader’s body were never released.

According to O’Neill, he was walking behind his fellow SEALs as they searched bin Laden’s three-story compound. Upstairs, they could roughly make out bin Laden’s son Khalid, who had an AK-47.

“Khalid, come here,” the SEALs whispered to him. He poked his head out and was shot in the face.

An unnamed point man and O’Neill proceeded up to the third floor. After they burst into bin Laden’s bedroom, the point man tackled two women, thinking they might have suicide vests, as O’Neill fired at the Al Qaeda founder.

“In less than a second, I aimed above the woman’s right shoulder and pulled the trigger twice,” he wrote, according to the New York Daily News. “Bin Laden’s head split open, and he dropped. I put another bullet in his head. Insurance.”
Wow so his head split open. You might be thinking, ok now I get why we never got to see the body.

But keep reading…


Quote
O’Neill’s book says the operators had to press bin Laden’s head back together to take identifying photos. But that wasn’t the end of the mutilation of bin Laden’s body, according to Jack Murphy of SOFREP, a special-operations news website.

Two sources told Murphy in 2016 that several SEALs took turns dumping round after round into bin Laden’s body, which ended up having more than 100 bullet holes in it.

Murphy, a former Army Ranger, called it “beyond excessive.”

“The picture itself would likely cause an international scandal, and investigations would be conducted which could uncover other operations, activities which many will do anything to keep buried,” he wrote.

Wow, 100 bullet holes! You might think that’s a lot, but when you consider how many people died that day and how many were injured, it’s only a tiny fraction.

It’s no wonder they dumped his body at Sea. He was only fish food at that point.

As an aside, I wonder just how angry Obama was when he found out that they had put 100 bullet holes in his body. I’m betting he was not happy about it.

And then again.... conspiracy theory folks might posit that the only reason they pumped the body full of that many bullets...

was to make any facial ID difficult, if not impossible.

A good friend was in a high security clearance area at our local base and watched the raid live as it happened.  They mentioned that there wasn't much left of Bin Laden.

What you report is exactly what they said.

Let's see now.  We spent ten years and no telling how much $$ trying to locate Bin Laden and when we finally get his location pinned down and a clandestine raid into Pakistan is planned to take him down we decide to broadcast said raid worldwide on military closed circuit TV.

Yeah! I'll buy that! /s

Agree.

Same here.  These are Special Forces indiviudals  who not only have the physical ability, but also the temperment to act in an utmost professional manner.

Doubtful that there are Full Metal Jacket kind of guys n that outfit.

According to the story, they fired 3 and third magazines into a single body, which would essentially liquify it.
But, why would they waste critical mission time to do that?
Why would they cause that much ruckus which would attract attention?
What about conservation of ammo training and procedures?
Two to the body and one to the head is the most you normally need according to my SOPs.  Do the job and get the hell out. No time for playing games.
Would this be considered a double-tap or what?
I hope this did not happen.

I frankly don't care what they did to him and neither did he at that point.  Dead is dead.  I would still like to see the pictures.  I don't trust Obama one bit.

exactly

according to Wiki:
Quote
The raid was intended to take 40 minutes. All told, the time between the team's entry in and exit from the compound was 38 minutes.[56] According to the Associated Press, the assault was completed in the first 15 minutes.[77]

Time in the compound was spent killing defenders,[90] "moving carefully through the compound, room to room, floor to floor" securing the women and children, clearing "weapons stashes and barricades"[87] including a false door,[112] and searching the compound for information.[30] U.S. personnel recovered three AK-47s and two pistols, ten computer hard drives, documents, DVDs, almost a hundred thumb drives, a dozen cell phones, and "electronic equipment" for later analysis.[56][113][114] The SEALs also discovered a large amount of opium stored in the house.[115]

I wasn't there, so I dont know, but I find it very hard to believe that special forces who just fought their way in to the enemy's holy grail, and who may very well have to fight their way back out to safety, are going to waste time, energy, and ammunition mutilating a dead body.  Every round wasted on a dead body is a round you can't use to try and kill the next live body that's still gunning for you. 

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it did happen this way, but it'll take a lot more hard evidence to convince me.

Sure they do. When they are very angry.

Happens all the time--they crack, they 'punish' their victim--even though they are dead or dying.

I agree with your points in general. These are Tier 1 operators, and emotion (Anger, especially) causes mistakes. That, however does not necessarily make them immune-- especially with this target.
