    They were meant to have been from from Seal Team Six, the article isn't saying it was the same unit, but from the same parent group which is 150 or so strong. It could have been some of the same team which hit BL, but I'm guessing we'll never really know.

    I never said they were without skills ...

    But you can join up, fresh out of secondary school. All the army requires is basic logic tests and tests to see you are up to it physically. No degrees or prior training required.

    Mmmmm I might prefer that rather than working in Liverpool or some parts of London ...

    "Experienced" office workers are not effectively bound to their employer 24/7 either.
    And I don't know where you got the idea that Army Personnel are "without skills".
    Did you do your research reading Commando comics?

    As another poster said, you have to pay board and food, but it really isnt much. Far cheaper than a civillian renting privately.

    I guess he thought if he is being blamed for it, might as well claim it, - it probably helped him immensely with further recruitment…
    He had 10 years to keep up that denial, instead all he did was endless stream of videos/audio with calls for jihad against the west.

    Nevermind passport, Osama had plenty of time to issue denial but instead he's chosen to spend last 10 years making videos/audio calling to fight against the West.

    I am sure DimWim will elaborate though, he really seems to have his finger on the pulse where our Armed Forces are concerned.
    I contracted to the MOD and more often than not I was invited for lunch at the canteen. The food was good especially the fish and chips. They even produced a great buffet for the officers and contractors on a site visit. I do remember on one visit an officer shouting out from his office to a squaddie ordering him carry on running laps around the square as a punishment.

    Naturally he did not leave finger prints at the scene, but he did enough public work to warrant death sentence: I don't think documents were found with Hitler's signature about "final solution", yet he bears full responsibility for it due to his public speeches as well as other decisions that made it happen, same is with bin Laden, he got way too quick death that he deserved.

    Before Bin Laden raid was conducted it was debated whether the whole place should be bombed with like 32 tons of TNT, the decision went against and that saved lots of people - nice surgical strike that got the main target and left some people alive (his wifes), what more do you want?
