A firsthand account of the mission that killed Osama bin Laden is coming out Sept. 11, written under a pseudonym by an ex-Navy SEAL who participated in the raid and was there for the Al-Qaeda chief’s death, the New York Times reports.
In “No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama bin Laden,“ author ”Mark Owen“ will ”set the record straight” on the May 2011 raid in Pakistan, publisher Dutton said.
The book will give a “blow-by blow narrative of the assault, beginning with the helicopter crash that could have ended Owen’s life straight through to the radio call confirming bin Laden’s death, is an essential piece of modern history,” according to a description provided to the Times. The names of other SEALs involved in the mission have been changed for protection purposes as well.
“While written in the first person, my experiences are universal,” the author said, according to ABC News. “It is time to set the record straight about one of the most important missions in U.S. military history. No Easy Day is the story of ‘the guys,’ the human toll we pay, and the sacrifices we make to do this dirty job.”
Described as a “team leader” who was “one of the first men through the door on the third floor of the terrorist leader’s hideout,” Owen completed 13 combat deployments since the Sept. 11 terror attacks before retiring in the last year, the Times reported. He plans to donate the majority of the book’s proceeds to charities to help the families of fallen Navy SEALs, according to ABC.
The author will appear in disguise for media interviews to promote the book, the Times reported, with his voice altered for television and radio appearances. A source familiar with the book said at least one prime time appearance has been lined up.

The book has seemingly caught the Obama administration and the rest of the federal government off guard.
“We learned about this book today from press reports. We haven‘t reviewed it and don’t know what it says,” White House spokesman Tommy Vietor told Reuters.
A senior defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, added: “This book came as a surprise to folks at the Pentagon… Naturally, we’ll be interested to read the book when it is made available.”
Additionally, Reuters explains that the “Pentagon said it hadn’t vetted the book or helped provide information to the authors. There are at least two Pentagon regulations requiring the Defense Department review writings by retired troops that contain sensitive material.”
Officials with Penguin did not initially say whether the book was “vetted” by any government agencies. Col. Tim Nye, the chief spokesman of the military’s Special Operations Command, told the Times that he wouldn’t comment until he had a chance to read the book.
However, a senior military official told the Associated Press the manuscript was not shared with special forces officials to check whether it disclosed classified information.
“The book was vetted by a former special operations attorney. He vetted it for tactical, technical, and procedural information as well as information that could be considered classified by compilation and found it to be without risk to national security,” Christine Ball, a spokeswoman for the publisher, Dutton, told Reuters.

Unless the book “Charlie Wilison’s war was B.S> & everything else I read was too. We gave the lion’s share of the aid destined for the mujeheddin to Hekmatyar. We did this at the insistence of the Pakistani ISI & Army.
It is a very funny, funny person who cries Usama & knows not Hekmatyar. One would have to think they are knowing or unknowingly relaying some talking point 2nd or 3rd hand.
Now the British wanted us to give more funding or the lions share of the funding to a great fighter, the Tajik leader Massoud known as the Lion of Panshir. The British funding to the muj mostly or solely went to the Tajik element of the muj. Usama had Massoud assassinated a week or so before 911 to make the Northern Alliance leader less & hopefully to not have another leader of Massoud’ stature.
Of course I could be wrong & you could be right. I think I see how you think now.

North said that he got the fence to protect his family because he was on the hit list of the most notorious terrorist in the world — Abu Nidal. We didn’t really have Bin laden on our radar screen, so to speak, until the Clinton administration: it was about 1995 when Bin Laden bombed the U.S. embassies in East Africa.

We know since then that Barry was his usuall handwringing self and that Valerie Jarrett was the mind behind the decision to hit OBL.
Here’s what then secretary of Defense Robert Gates said mere days after the operation:
“Frankly, a week ago Sunday, in the Situation Room, we all agreed that we would not release any operational details from the effort to take out bin Laden. That all fell apart on Monday, the next day.
We are very concerned about the security of our families – of your families and our troops, and also these elite units that are engaged in things like that. And without getting into any details… I would tell you that when I met with the team… they expressed a concern about that, and particularly with respect to their families.”.
We know the Obama administraiton has been leaking sensitive information. We know a hollywood film has been made with “unprecedented access” to confidential operation details on the Bin Laden raid. This is happening. This is real.
SEAL Team Six doesnt’ even officially exist.

Posted on August 22, 2012 at 6:04pmWhy? Because someone in the White House has been using this as a personal agrandizement. This was not initiated by the current administration, nor should they try to take credit for the accomplished mission. Some evidence has surfaced that the mission was put on hold for a significant amount of time, possibly for political reasons. The fact that this country was able to take out Osama Bin Laden should signal to the rest of the world that we do uphold our commitments and see the job through to the end. Attack us, and we fight back. We should not apologize or bow to anyone, nor surrender our sovereignty to anyone for any reason. Be strong, be brave, be proud. Be independent of government control.

Posted on August 22, 2012 at 5:42pmThere are many successes in the analogs of military history, most of them untold. It is good to see an especially high profile event like this told by those “in the know”.
There are always plenty of armchair quarterbacks but few who will get their hands dirty. There is a great quote by Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt that addresses that thought:
“It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.”
Thank you to our military men, women and families who are willing to sacrifice to retain freedom.

Not when he turned down the mission a few times. He kept stalling until one side pushed him over the edge into making a decision. The 1st 3 times he kept listening to Valerie “No Military experience” Jarrett & scrubbed the mission. Then someone else go his ear. No Obama is not a military leader.
Now I shouldn’t be so hard on Valeriee. She is quite good at Realestate.
“Jarrett owns an 11-percent equity interest in a luxury apartment complex called Kingsbury Plaza, according to an aritlce in the Washington Free Beacon. It was built by Habitat Company, where Jarrett was once chief executive officer. Kingsbury Plaza and the land it is on are taxed at a value of $6.8 million, though it’s worth $27.2 million for tax purposes.”

Of course that wasn’t thew 1st dirty real estate “No Military Experience” Jarrett was involved. She use to be a slum lord. These are the people that the Anointed Obama listens to.
