In an exclusive interview with Peter Doocy of Fox News, Robert O’Neill detailed “Operation Neptune Spear,” the raid that killed Usama bin Laden. O’Neill said it was “just luck” he ended up being the man to pull the trigger and he met the terrorist “for a second, that’s it.”
“Standing on two feet in front of me, with his hands on his wife’s shoulders behind her was the face that I’d seen thousands of times, UBL,” he said. “Very quickly I recognized him and then it was just pop, pop pop.”
After shooting bin Laden, O’Neill and the rest of SEAL Team 6 still had the mission to complete. O’Neill described the team’s harrowing 90-minute flight back to Afghanistan after completing the raid, saying the team knew at any moment they could be shot down from the sky.
“Eighty-something minutes into it, somebody came over the radio to everybody and said, ‘All right gentleman for the first time in your lives you’re going to be happy to hear this…welcome to Afghanistan,’” he says. “And everyone was like; oh my God…we just did it. We just pulled it off and we got him. And we all lived. We’re all fine. It was insane. So then, there was high-fiving and stuff. Guys were, cause I mean, we got Usama bin Laden and we’re going to live…amazing.”
In part 1, which aired Tuesday night, O’Neill said that none of the members of the team thought they would make it out of Pakistan alive, but that is was worth dying to killed bin Laden.
“We are going to die eventually, this is a good way to go and it’s worth it to kill him,” he said they thought. “He’s going to die with us.”

The plan worked, and we were able to capture him. And all of us survived. There is no need for alarm. That's just crazy. So, naturally, there were hugs driving directions and high-fives and all that. Folks were because, you know, we got Usama bin Laden and we're going to survive. Amazing.

I usually watch them to learn something new and then play little fishing for fun; if you're looking for a good knockout game, you should give it a shot. Make the boys think they're smarter than you do.
Excellent piece, thanks for sharing.
