Alleged Bin Laden Shooter: Osama "Died Like a Pussy"
According to Robert O'Neill—the former Navy SEAL who claims he shot Osama bin Laden—the Al Qaeda leader "died like a pussy" and "knew that we were there to kill him."
In a previously unreleased audio interview aired last night on CNN, O'Neill told freelance journalist Alex Quade that he had used details of bin Laden's death to bring closure to the families of 9/11 victims, saying:
"[O]ne thing I tell them is 'All right, Osama bin Laden died like a pussy. That's all I'm telling you. Just so you know. He died afraid. And he knew that we were there to kill him.'"
"You can quote me on this bullshit," said O'Neill.
Bin Laden's alleged killer also told Quade that SEAL Team Six was sent after the Al Qaeda leader "because they wanted him dead" and that "it doesn't matter anymore if I am 'The Shooter.'"
"I don't give a fuck," said O'Neill. "We got him. We brought him out and we lived."
