Did you know "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" is complete bullshit.
Does it matter?
Did you know the stories I heard from WW II vets didn't jibe with my school text books?
Does it matter?
Did you know we never lost a major battle in Vietnam?
Does it matter?

As far as I'm concerned the White House should have made a press release that read, We killed Osama bid Laden.
That's it. No more.
The world already knows why and the how is nobody's business.
It's sufficient for them to know the US has the power. Who do? We do?

Digging into the details has but one purpose, define individuals who were part of the operation to credit. Every time some credit is given to a group(Army chopper, Navy Seals) or an individual(2 guys each claiming the kill) it takes some credit away from the White House, some credit away from the nation. There are medals and unit citations for that.

After Hiroshima the White House said, big badaboom. That's enough.

You think the American people deserve to know the truth? What makes you think the American people want to know the whole story. We killed Osama? Cool, now get back to wheel of fortune. Everyone digging into this is trying to make a buck or grinding an axe, usually both.
