Bin Laden used wife as human shield: US official (AFP) – 52 minutes ago
WASHINGTON — Al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden used one of his wives as a human shield in an apparent attempt to try to save his own life during a raid by US covert forces, a top US official said Monday.
"There was family at that compound, and there was a female who was, in fact, in the line of fire that reportedly was used as a shield to shield bin Laden from the incoming fire," counter-terrorism official John Brennan said.
Pressed on reports the woman shot dead by Navy SEALs during a firefight at a compound in Abbottabad in Pakistan was one of bin Laden's four wives, Brennan told a White House briefing: "That's my understanding."
Brennan said it was not entirely clear "whether or not bin Laden or the son or whatever put her there or she put herself there" or whether the Al-Qaeda chief himself fired rounds during the exchange.
"From a visual perspective, here is bin Laden who has been calling for attacks, living in this million dollar plus compound, living in an area that's far removed from the front, hiding behind women who were put in front of him as a shield," he said.
"I think it really just speaks to just how false his narrative has been over the years, and so again looking at what bin Laden was doing, hiding there while he's putting other people out there to carry out attacks, again, just speaks to, I think, the nature of the individual he was."
In addition to the woman, Bin Laden was killed by a bullet to the head and senior US officials said two brothers believed to be his couriers and one of his adult sons also perished in the raid.

Obamas govt said so it has to be true, right Mikey?
This is bullshit. They are just saying this to make him look like a coward. I believe it about as much as i believe Iraqis were murdering babies in Kuwait.

Hello Godwinson. Glad to see your travels crossed this way again.
I don't like Bin Laden. I just don't believe the story. I could be wrong. I just don't see someone that has been in many battles hiding behind a woman.
#10. To: A K A Stone (#9)
You may be right about the human shield aspect. But I applaud our men in uniform for their success at their mission.
In this case, happiness is a clean kill.

Heh, Yes, he had four wifes. Now he's flying a prison kite to the overhead complaining about the 72 virgin sows he got as a reward for his life's work.
#14. To: Ferret Mike (#13) (Edited)
I always wondered about 72 virgins.
It's paradise. So, why not a virgin every night?
Or, if you don't like to break them in, why not a sleazy whore every night?
Why?

Hey, dummy... Lenin was a socialist. Just like you, go56, skippy and ferret- face.
You feckless dweebs just can't accept reality, even when it b!tch-slaps you. Not too surprising, though... Socialists always ignore reality.
Thanks for the laughs.
Now piss off.

Hey, dummy... Lenin was a socialist.
Actually, he was a Marxist. But I wouldn't expect a pig-nosed bubblehead like you to understand either that or the difference.

Or, from wikipedia (which even a mental midget like you can find):
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924), was a Russian revolutionary, author, lawyer, economic theorist, political philosopher, creator of the Soviet Communist Party, leader of the 1917 October Revolution, and founder of the USSR. As head of the Bolsheviks (1917–1924) he led the Red Army to victory in the Russian Civil War, before establishing the world's first officially socialist state.
As usual DwarF, you're an asshat.
But thank you... I so enjoy making you eat your words.
Thanks for the laughs.

ROFLMAO...what a fucking dope you are...you didn't even look at your link!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA....
As is usual among you uni-dimensional ***thinkers***, you make the classic blunder of applying the end to the means...Lenin was first and foremost a Marxist with the goal of establishing a Socialist republic.
Maybe you need to apply for a tuition refund for that one Poli Sci course you took, eh?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA...once again, Erica...you've swung mightily and landed on RIGHT ON YOUR OWN NOSE...

You're not the brightest bulb in the tree, are you?
But then again, you're a liberal/socialist... which means you're intellectually lazy.

As usual, your distorted perceptions of reality make you think that black is white, up is down, and your overt ignorance is intelligence.

Socialism is the end of a process, seamen breath. Lenin was a Marxist trying to achieve a Socialist state. There's a reason that the term "Marxist-Leninist" exists.
Whoever coined the term "gray matter" never saw the putrid green inside of your skull.

Another failed attempted witticism, from the biggest empty-headed socialist on the forum.

At least in this one regard, we agree.

What would have made these guys happy is a failed mission and dead American SEALs and Osama getting away - because it would make Obama look bad.
