EXCLUSIVE: Parents of SEAL Team Six member say unit endangered by Obama administration statements.

EXCLUSIVE: Parents of SEAL Team Six member say unit endangered by Obama administration statements.(FOX).By Catherine Herridge, Pamela Browne.“Aaron called me and said, 'Mom, you need to wipe your social media clean of any reference to me or any of my buddies. Just disconnect completely,'” Karen Vaughn said her son warned after Vice President Biden publicly identified the SEALs on May 3, 2011 -- two days after the raid. “He [Aaron] actually said to me, 'Mom, there's chatter, and all of our lives could be in danger, including yours' ... then I realized all of those families, you know, you're talking about a community of around three hundred families who were all of a sudden made targets by this administration.”
Asked whether they could accept that the administration identified the SEALS because they were so grateful, Billy Vaughn flatly rejected the suggestion. “No matter how proud they were of it, it was very unprofessional. The fact, they could have, the administration could have said special operators.”

Video: "Top Crane" - Putin flies with rare cranes in an ultralight motor-powered glider.

Adorned in white overalls - to resemble a bird - Vladimir Putin spent some of Wednesday leading in a different capacity, heading a flock of crane birds in flight from a hang glider. The stunt already has the Russian blogosphere alight. The Russian President was visiting an endangered bird sanctuary in Yamal, Siberia, on his way to the APEC summit in Vladivostok. It breeds Siberian cranes, only 3,000 of whom remain in the wild.
The sheltered birds have been trained to navigate the sky ahead of their winter migration to Central Asia. Vladimir Putin, rarely camera shy, was deemed the perfect candidate to take the flock of cranes on their last practice flight before they're released. The project is called Flight of Hope. “I am just relieved it went well,” said Putin after disembarking from the motor-powered glider, which he controlled with a co-pilot. “I saw the birds following me on either side. They are beautiful creatures.”
The image of Russia's head of state, leading of a flock of birds by dressing as one of them and even playing an instrument to imitate their parents, (it was initially reported that Putin would have to wear a prosthetic beak for maximum likeness, though in the end he did not use one), proved irresistible for Russia’s online community, which exploded with thousands of instant jokes and comments about the symbolism of the flight. Some posted that the cranes had been personally vetted by the President’s security force and would be promoted to government posts depending on their performance. Others speculated which leading politicians would be given of what species next. Most agreed that Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, whose surname means “Bear” in Russian, would be assigned his own personal lair.Read the full story here.

Pres Obama's 'Gutsy Call' "to use the No Nine Iron or not?" - Revealed: Pres was playing golf until 20 minutes before Navy SEALs began mission to take out Bin Laden.

Pres Obama's 'Gutsy Call' "to use the No Nine Iron or not?" - Revealed: Pres was playing golf until 20 minutes before Navy SEALs began mission to take out Bin Laden. (DailyMail).In the official photograph, he looked every inch the commander in chief. Strain etched on his face, Barack Obama watched as the raid to kill Osama bin Laden played out on a television in front of him. According to a new book, however, the President was not nearly that engaged – and was actually playing golf until 20 minutes before the operation began in earnest. Mr Pfarrer paints a very different picture to the official photo released at the time which shows Mr Obama and advisers huddled round a table in the White House situation room as footage was beamed from a drone 15,000ft above the al-Qaeda leader's mansion.

Mr Pfarrer says the President's role was largely inflated and suggests he stayed out on the golf course for so long so he could distance himself in case it went wrong. 

Mr Pfarrer writes: 'If this had completely gone south, he was in a position to disavow.' He says the White House photographs did not show the moment that Bin Laden was killed, but the moment a helicopter went down, which happened after the shooting. Mr Obama is known to be a keen golfer. Just today, as the White House was being encircled by 8,000 environmental protesters, he was on a course in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The President also played golf four times during his week-long family holiday on Martha's Vineyard. Read the full story here.

New book contradicts official account of Osama bin Laden death.

New book contradicts official account of Osama bin Laden death.(E24/7).A firsthand account of the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden contradicts previous accounts by administration officials, raising questions as to whether the terror mastermind presented a clear threat when he was first fired upon. Bin Laden apparently was hit in the head when he looked out of his bedroom door into the top-floor hallway of his compound as SEALs rushed up a narrow stairwell in his direction, according to former Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette, writing under the pseudonym Mark Owen in "No Easy Day."
The book is to be published next week by Penguin Group (USA)'s Dutton imprint.

Bissonnette says he was directly behind a "point man" going up the stairs. "Less than five steps" from the top of the stairs, he heard "suppressed" gunfire: "BOP. BOP." The point man had seen a "man peeking out of the door" on the right side of the hallway. The author writes that bin Laden ducked back into his bedroom and the SEALs followed, only to find the terrorist crumpled on the floor in a pool of blood with a hole visible on the right side of his head and two women wailing over his body. 

Bissonnette says the point man pulled the two women out of the way and shoved them into a corner and he and the other SEALs trained their guns' laser sites on bin Laden's still-twitching body, shooting him several times until he lay motionless. The SEALs later found two weapons stored by the doorway, untouched, the author said. In the account related by administration officials after the raid in Pakistan, the SEALs shot bin Laden only after he ducked back into the bedroom because they assumed he might be reaching for a weapon.
White House spokesman Tommy Vietor would not comment on the apparent contradiction late Tuesday. But he said in an email, "As President Obama said on the night that justice was brought to Osama bin Laden, 'We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.'"
"No Easy Day" was due out Sept. 11, but Dutton announced the book would be available a week early, Sept. 4, because of a surge of orders due to advance publicity that drove the book to the top of the Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com best-seller lists. The Associated Press purchased a copy of the book Tuesday.

In another possibly uncomfortable revelation for U.S. officials who say bin Laden's body was treated with dignity before being given a full Muslim burial at sea, the author reveals that in the cramped helicopter flight out of the compound, one of the SEALs called "Walt" was sitting on bin Laden's chest as the body lay at the author's feet in the middle of the cabin. 

The publisher says the author used pseudonyms for all the SEALs. Bissonnette also writes disparagingly that none of the SEALs were fans of President Barack Obama and knew that his administration would take credit for ordering the May 2011 raid. One of the SEALs said after the mission that they had just gotten Obama re-elected by carrying out the raid. But he says they respected him as commander in chief and for giving the operation the go-ahead. U.S. officials fear the book may include classified information, as it did not undergo the formal review required by the Pentagon for works published by former or current Defense Department employees. Officials from the Pentagon and the CIA, which commanded the mission, are examining the manuscript for possible disclosure of classified information and could take legal action against the author. Jihadists on al-Qaida websites have posted purported photos of the author, calling for his murder.Read the full story here.

The 'Make Believe' Presidency, Bin Laden death movie "Code Name Geronimo" will be released BEFORE election

The 'Make Believe' Presidency, Bin Laden death movie "Code Name Geronimo" will be released BEFORE election.(DM).A dramatic film about the assassination of Osama Bin Laden could be controversially released before the U.S presidential elections in November, it has emerged. Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein - a supporter of the Democratic Party - is in negotiations to buy Code Name Geronimo at the Cannes Film Festival. It is believed the film producer will release the film in late September or October - which is likely to infuriate President Obama's Republican opponents. Sony Pictures has already decided not to release the film Zero Dark Thirty - also about the assassination of the Al Qaeda leader - until December. Its release date of December 19 was set after the scheduled release date for October drew criticism of the Republican party. It was feared the film would bolster Obama's re-election prospects and those concerns are likely to be raised again with Code Name Geronimo. Footage from the film was shown for the first time in Cannes on Wednesday. It is directed by John Stockwell. The film tells the story of the manhunt for Osama Bin Laden and the efforts of the Navy Seals. It is in the final stages of production and its asking price is rumoured to be $2million.Hmmmmm.......Meanwhile yesterday:"Apparently Osama Bin Laden Died Twice? Former Turkish CIA Agent states: Bin Laden Died of Disease in 2006."........Is this why no pictures or documents can be disclosed or found of the Taking down of Osama Bin Laden.........Except the White house pictures?
