President Obama Watched Live Video Of Bin Laden Raid - via helmet cams

http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-watched-live-video-of-bin-laden-raid-2011-5

President Obama watched live video of the raid on Bin Laden's compound yesterday, a source tells us.

In operations like this, our source says, soldiers and pilots often carry helmet cameras, and screens in situation rooms can carry live images from all of them.

We doubt the US will release video or photos of the Bin Laden raid, but in this age of Wikileaks, anything's possible.

1. I'd like to see that video. Is that considered an unreasonable request?
The DOD has released helmet cam footage before, such as the famous rescue of Jessica Lynch.

7. I know I don't even have to click because it isn't released yet.
But I'm glad you thought it was important enough to offer a link to something else.

:hi:

10. It's a pretty detailed recreation of the event
by the animation company that brought us other similar world events within 24 hours.

They are FAST!

Thumbs up or down from Roger Ebert?

14. Just like the moon landing. It was probably shot in Nevada. The "muslims" are probably from Juarez.

8. That's what hubby and I surmised last night
We pictured video feed coming in from all the helmet cams on a number of screens in the Situation Room of the WH.

It gives me chills.

9. Did he get to see the blood splatter all over?
What a cool thing, watching people get killed and everything.

I hope we all get the video soon.

Maybe we can show everyone our civility by smearing blood on our faces, chanting U.S.A! U.S.A! and watching the man's head explode in super slow motion, over and over.

Wouldn't that be great?

11. I hate that aspect of this
and can't get behind killing but in this case there wasn't much choice involved and it was executed well with minimal loss of life.

16. I guess the hundreds of thousands who have died in this pursuit
in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan don't count... :-(

18. I am not happy about any war making
and wonder always if it was necessary.

I would never be a soldier, I would be a conscientious objector.

15. Check out the youtube video above on this thread
The crazy Taiwanese animators did a detailed recreation of the raid. Not sure if a head explodes but close.
