Seymour Hersh: Bin Laden Raid “One Big Lie”

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh says that the raid which killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011 is “one big lie” and that “not one word” of the Obama administration’s narrative on what happened is true.

In a wide-ranging interview published today by the Guardian, Hersh savages the US media for failing to challenge the White House on a whole host of issues, from NSA spying, to drone attacks, to aggression against Syria.

On the subject of the Navy Seal raid that supposedly resulted in the death of the Al-Qaeda terror leader, Hersh remarked, “Nothing’s been done about that story, it’s one big lie, not one word of it is true.”

Hersh added that the Obama administration habitually lies but they continue to do so because the press allows them to get away with it.

“It’s pathetic, they are more than obsequious, they are afraid to pick on this guy [Obama],” Hersh told the Guardian.

I'm not an Obama fan,but Hersh is out of line with this.He has taken inconsistencies(by his perception)and has deemed the Bin Laden story a complete lie.All of us are owed the truth regarding this issue,but if you've noticed it has continuously morphed since it happened.Now disgruntled Navy Seals have chimed in with the "we were there,we know what happened" approach.Once and for all,everyone needs to get their heads together and get this story 100% accurate.Once all who were involved get it straight and sign off on it,case closed.

Of course it was a lie. He was buds with the bush clan. The whole war on terror is a myth created by the military industrial complex to keep the cash cow of no bid defense contracts going
