Just saw Michelle Bachmann on Fox News after the state union speech and she may have revealed some classified information about Osama Bin Laden capture

9  2012-01-25 by [deleted]

I'm not the conspiracy type but I thought this was really interesting. This happened like 10 minutes ago. She was being interviewed on Fox by Greta Vann Susteran about the state of the Union address.The interviewer asked what if anything did Bachmann agree with from the presidents speech and this is roughly what she said:

'blablabla he gave thanks to the troops blablabla.... and also he praised Seal Team Six for their capture of Osama Bin Laden'

This immediately caught my attention. Was this a slip of the tongue or did she give away some classified information? White House has consistently changed the story of Osama Bin Ladens targeting. Last I checked though he was killed in the cross fire. Bachmann thanks Seal Team 6 for his capture though.

Keep in mind that Bachmann is on the House Permanent Select Committee on intelligence and she is the Overseer of the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency and the rest of the U.S. intelligence community.

What are your thoughts?

Intriguing. Unfortunately, we'll never know.

This. They control the news media. This is why websites like wikileaks are so important.

EDIT: This is why diversity in news organizations is so important.

"This is why an uncensored internet is so important"

no need for quotes, we all know that.

I didn't put a name to the quote, thus implying it's something we all say to be true.

You may have missed pinapple express if that refference escaped you.

No, it just went over me. I've seen it enough to be embarrassed now that I didn't put it together.

I hate myself for the number of times ive watched it.

1  phidel_kashflow 2012-01-25

There was a time when it was just on in the background for me. It still has it's moments, for sure.

Honestly I think Bachmann might have just misspoke given that she isn't the brightest of bulbs.

If we were talking about someone like Cheney or Rumsfeld, I might tend to think it was a Freudian slip, as they say.

Bachmann is on the House Permanent Select Committee on intelligence and she is the Overseer of the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency and the rest of the U.S. intelligence community.

She's what?!

Maybe she misspoke?

''I'm very concerned about the international moves they're making, particularly … moving the United States off the dollar and onto a global currency, like Russia and China are calling for.'' Michele Bachmann

“Carbon dioxide is natural, it is not harmful, it is a part of Earth's lifecycle. And yet we're being told that we have to reduce this natural substance, reduce the American standard of living, to create an arbitrary reduction in something that is naturally occuring in Earth.” Michele Bachmann

Maybe she misspoke?

That can explain probably 50% of the things posted in this subreddit.

The narrative they finally decided on does say the seals captured him before it occurred to anyone to shoot the most valuable suspect in the world in the face.

1  itsbloodlustduh 2012-01-25

He has been dead for years, they killed him but now when they said they did

1  Sarcastimus 2012-01-25

I also heard he died around 2001ish time frame from Diabetic complications. But since the good ol' guberment gave him a "proper" burial instead of showing the world "proof", we'll never really know.

Benazir Bhutto said he died years ago before she was assassinated. There was no body, no evidence and the rest of that seal team conveniently died in a helicopter crash (hit by an RPG) a few months later.

The team met heavy resistance. They met no resistance. He was armed. He was unarmed. They watched the attack live. There was a 40 minute delay and they did not watch it live. .... Every person in that famous picture in the White House had a totally different story. Biden, Hillary and Obama said entirely different things.

They couldn't even get their fucking story straight...and the US bought it.

2  Sarcastimus 2012-01-25

I know, that whole story stinks to high treason.

2  yayyer 2012-01-25

I thought the news is claiming that some of the people from the seal team that captured Osama were involved in the rescuing of the recent Somali pirate prisoners? Do you have citation for " the rest of that seal team conveniently died in a helicopter crash (hit by an RPG) a few months later. " ?

1  SpartanAltair15 2012-01-25

No, he doesn't because it's not true, some seals died, but none from the Osama team.

It happened last year. There are articles with more details, but that was just the first one I found.

It wasn't the rest of the team, but it was over twenty seals that served on the same seal team that supposedly killed Bin Laden. So I was wrong to say "..the rest of the seal team..."

Dear god who would give that crazy bitch access to classified intelligence information?

She's probably going senile.
