The part that was a lie apparently was the incident as described by the media onboard the USS Carl Vinson. It is a moot point though because still doesn't change the fact we got Bin Laden, took his body, photographed him etc.
Even the most ardent political enemies in Congress were shown the autopsy photos and acknowledged it was a fact we got him. Hersh seems to have bias toward Obama Admin and was extremely critical and basically called him a liar when in fact it was the DoD and Intel communities that ran the operations, not the White House. Obama simply ordered not to bomb the compound as originally planned and instead use a hit and run raid to get him. The President doesn't control every minute detail of Special Ops warfare. |

Typical Yankee hater. Yes it is always America's fault with you. Many Americans put their lives at risk to prevent civilians from getting killed in Pakistan. That was the whole point of this raid to respect the sovereignty and our fragile alliance with Pakistan. Would you rather Bin Laden be free? |

Their government is barely hanging on to power and has to be careful not to agitate another rebellion and give rise to a waaay worse radical Jahadi government that murders its own people. Last thing Pakistan needs is another fukwad fundamentalist regime.
