Man...imagine these moments as they happened


The code name for Bin Laden was “Geronimo.” The president and his advisers watched Leon E. Panetta, the C.I.A. director, on a video screen, narrating from his agency’s headquarters across the Potomac River what was happening in faraway Pakistan.

“They’ve reached the target,” he said.

Minutes passed.

“We have a visual on Geronimo,” he said.

A few minutes later: “Geronimo EKIA.”

Enemy Killed In Action. There was silence in the Situation Room.

Finally, the president spoke up.

“We got him.”

Yeah that situation room must have been super intense. I would have chewed all my nails off.

Wasn't he still a ally back then? I think so. I think it was Clinton that initially put the order out on Osama, and both he and GWB have vested interest in this campaign/target.

I think it is funny that they got food from Costco for this. Like the WH kitchen could not make something up for all of them?


Everyone should read this it is a bit long but way worth it! Great insight, nice find Matty!

True. I mean certainly the last three Presidents have the most vested interest in this. I just wondered what the protocol was, if any, to inform all past presidents when there is major news.
