>> Very interesting. Because she was in the room that meant she sent the team to kill Bin Laden?

> I never said that I questioned that in the slightest. Not sure where you get that at all.

You literally just questioned that.

And it was a CIA-led, ie. civilian led, operation, not a military-led one.

The military explicitly played a critical role in planning, leading, and executing this.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Osama_bin_Laden#Opera...

U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) and at least 6 members from JSOC planned it in coordination with the CIA.

Literally the second sentence of that article says:

> The operation, code-named Operation Neptune Spear, was carried out in a CIA-led operation

You seem to be arguing incredibly uncharitably. I simply said the military planned it and based on the article I posted, I am 100% accurate. It doesn't take away from the military planning that the CIA also had a hand in planning it. I also never said the military led it, the thing you are arguing I did.

Ironic. You've claimed multiple things. For each case, in the face of conflicting evidence, deflected to argue about another detail.
