I say that Gates knows a hell of a lot more than you or me, or anyone else posting here, and this is good enough for me. Your assertion that the media would never have reported on a failed raid is absolute BS.

If you remember, a little less than two years ago
this administration actually charged and attempted to court-martial 3 Navy Seals from Seal Team Six when
a terrorist suspect, whom they captured, complained they had punched him during the take down and bloodied
his nose. This administration further commented how brutal they were. The left were calling them Nazi's and
Baby Killers. Now all of a sudden, the very brave men they vilified are now heroes?
Seems Obama needed a boost in his ratings and his waterboy, Gates, contributed.
