So Scott Brown didn't actually see a photo of a dead Bin Laden. What else didn't he see?

The White House lead with a
The White House lead with a long series of lies about the operation, which they have since back away from. And they actually should know what the hell happened. I'd worry less about Scott Brown and more about Barak Obama and his minions.
No, bin Laden did not use a woman as a shield.
No, there was no shooting coming out of the house bin Laden was in.
lies is a little strong
"Lies" is a little strong. The guys who carried out the operation were half a world and a lot of steps in the chain of command away from the guys talking to the press. Its only human that in the hours after the event with a million things going on that they didn't get the story quite right.
1. There's a difference
1. There's a difference between the Fog of War and what happened here.
2. These are the people who are in the know. Before they make statements, they know whether they know or not. If they weren't sure, they had no need to speak. They chose to speak, therefore they have a responsibility to get it right.
3. Having to backtrack on multiple claims of fact gives the world's America-haters all the ammunition they need to say "There they go again, lying."
In relative importance, where does Scott Brown fit it? Most of the world doesn't know he exists. What happened here was a perfectly good operation, followed by bungled P.R. by the administration.

so what you're saying is that
so what you're saying is that your instant reaction, and and that of most Republicans, is the same as the "America-haters" of the world?
lie's? MMMmmk... People were
lie's?
MMMmmk...
People were hungry for details, and the Whitehouse jumped the gun before they could get their house in order. Hell the SEALS hadn't been entirely debriefed themselves.
Then there was the issue of the Media feeding off each other and just callously making shit up.
But lied!? Ok buddy.
soooo........
Senate misinformation = mistake
White House misinformation = out and out lie
was that your position pre-2008?
what the hell happened
A more extensive list can be found here.
Yah, of course the validity
Yah, of course the validity of the whole operation hinges on whether bin Laden used a woman as a shield?
Are you fucking stupid or just a republican stooge?
Brown and Obama
I don't see what anyone is upset with Obama or Brown for. Both Brown's minor gaff and the premature release of half-baked information are perfectly explainable and don't amount to anything. Let's just be glad they killed the bastard. Seems like the ONE time Republicans and Democrats ought to be getting along.
nose, meet face
uhm... don't you have to be one in order to be the other?
(Not saying you have to be fucking stupid to be a Republican (there are a LOT of very smart GOPers), just to be a Limbuagh Budgie.)
The minions who frighten me are the ones who got away.
I prefer a presidential administration that admits to errors in information following a major necessary military action -- to a presidential administration that told outright lies which have resulted in more deaths than bin Laden accomplished on 9-11.
The minions of the Bush administration deceived and lied to create a war in Iraq. The American casualties of that war of occupation now exceed the deaths of 9-11.
The irony is that while bin Laden's soul, if Dante's Hell exists, will probably be at a circle higher than the circle reserved for the people whose near psychopathic lack of any morality have caused over 4 thousand - and counting - Americans to die in Iraq.
