A book written by a Navy SEAL who took part in the Osama bin Laden raid said the al Qaeda leader was unarmed and already shot when the SEALs entered his bedroom, contradicting the Obama administration’s account that he had reached for a gun when he was shot.
In the book, No Easy Day, the author wrote that as the SEALs ascended the staircase to bin Laden’s room, the point man saw a man poke his head out the door, according to reports from the Huffington Post and Associated Press, who purchased early copies of the book.
“We were less than five steps from getting to the top when I heard suppressed shots. BOP. BOP,” said the author, who is writing under a pseudonym Mark Owen but has been identified by Fox News and the AP. “I couldn’t tell from my position if the rounds hit the target or not. The man disappeared into the dark room.”
The SEAL members found bin Laden on the floor, twitching and convulsing, according to the reports, and after moving two women away from bin Laden the SEALs “trained our lasers on his chest and fired several rounds. The bullets tore into him, slamming his body into the floor until he was motionless.”

This must be a very short book then. We came up the stairs, saw a head, then, bop bop, he was down but not out, so, we sprayed him with bullets and he was dead. Next paragraph probably reads, we then took his carcass and fed it to the sharks in the indian ocean. End of story. This book is making the rounds? How boring.
