An American sniper had Bin Laden in his sights around 04 but was denied clearance to shoot because the sniper was in Afghanistan while Bin Laden was across the border in our "ally" Pakistan.
I thought the denial had more to do with the Kuwati prince that was with Bin Laden than where they were located. ?
I'm wondering about the validity of this one. Who verified this and how? Makes for an interesting what if scenario.
Little if anything in war is perfectly verifiable, but the mustachioed madman himself is the prime source. The other leading characters never disagreed.
What time does it come on? I missed it also. Having two older brothers fighting, I've always been intensely interested. Even though I was very young, it forms some of my more vivid memories...
You can go on History Channels website and watch the full first one. Episode 2 is tonight at 8 central and the 3rd and final one is Wednesday at 8 as well.
Thanks. I got a conflict tomorrow, but the recorder will go on. Somehow, I avoided knowing about the Tandey/Hitler episode. I do know that Hitler regarded the British as misguided Teutons. (Recent genetic studies have shown that the Brits are in reality about 90% Celtic. IOW, all the "accepted" history about Celts being driven into the corners of Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Cornwall is a pile of BS. The Celts never went anywhere...)
How crazy is it to think that if only Hitler had gotten into art school maybe he wouldn't have become such a monster.
He never drew a single person. His drawings were always of buildings and streets devoid of humans. I found Albert Speer's (Hitler's architect) fascinating. Of course, it's an apology in large part...
