BIN LADEN ‘SHOOTER’ STORY IS FUBAR, SPECIAL OPS SOURCES SAY
...Several of O’Neill’s former brothers-in-arms are coming forward to say his story is way, way off.
In interviews with The Daily Beast, former special operations officials, as well as other sources who are familiar with the events of the 2011 raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, accused O’Neill of misstating key facts and wrongly taking sole credit for killing the world’s then-most wanted man.
At issue is who fired the shot—or shots—that hit bin Laden in the head, splitting open his skull and almost certainly ending his life. O’Neill insists that he was the shooter. But others—including a fellow SEAL who was standing within feet of O’Neill when the final encounter with bin Laden went down—say another, still-unidentified man likely fired the round that caused a lethal head wound.....
...Sources who know and worked with O’Neill, who was first identified by the special operations blog SOFREP, said his version of events showed cracks almost from the night of the raid itself. One former special operations official said that O’Neill didn’t identify himself as the main shooter in the “hot wash” debriefing that operators conducted immediately after the raid at an air base in Afghanistan. But upon his return stateside, O’Neill identified himself as the trigger-man to members of the public while drinking in some favorite SEAL bars in Virginia Beach, VA. (This account was independently verified by a second source.) O’Neill’s behavior prompted his superiors to counsel him that the operation was classified, the former official said.....
.....Shortly after the article was published, Peter Bergen, a long-time chronicler of bin Laden and the only outside observer who was ever allowed to tour bin Laden’s compound after the raid, interviewed an anonymous SEAL Team 6 member who said the Esquire story was "complete B-S.”
But multiple special operations sources, as well as Bissonnette’s own account in his book, No Easy Day, say the still unidentified point man fired first at bin Laden and scored a direct hit, striking him in the skull. If true, that was the shot that almost certainly killed the terrorist leader, not O’Neill’s.
The point man, according to those who know him, is still serving with the SEALs. He’s described as quiet and not a fame-seeker. It’s unknown whether he has any plans he to write a book or speak publicly about his role in the raid. But the point man has told others outside the military that he was part of the mission in Abbottabad....."

So who knows what to believe?
Hillary will get this conkfukulation dealt with in short order and take the strap-on to McConnel while she does it.
