Excuse me, but what do we... what do we need this for in Libya?
I mean, Qaddafi's anti-air is virtually nonexistent.
Maya, do you want to brief him?
There are two narratives about the location of Usama bin Laden.
The one that you're most familiar with
is that UBL is hiding in a cave in the Tribal Areas,
that he's surrounded by a large contingent of loyal fighters.
But that narrative is pre-9/11 understanding of UBL.
The second narrative is that he's living in a city.
Living in a city with multiple points of egress and entry,
access to communications,
so that he can keep in touch with the organization.
You can't run a global network of interconnected cells from a cave.
We've located an individual we believe,
based on detainee reporting, is bin Laden's courier.
He's living in a house in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
And we assess
that one of the other occupants of the house is UBL.
So, UBL, you got... you got an Intel source on the ground?
- No. - No?
Okay, so how do you know it's bin Laden?
'Cause the truth is we've been on this op before, it was '07,
and it wasn't bin Laden, and we lost a couple of guys.
Totally understand.
bin Laden uses a courier to interact with the outside world.
By locating the courier, we've located bin Laden.
That's really the Intel?
That's it?
Quite frankly, I didn't even want to use you guys,
with your dip and your Velcro and all your gear bullshit.
I wanted to drop a bomb.
But people didn't believe in this lead enough to drop a bomb.
So they're using you guys as canaries,
in the theory that if bin Laden isn't there,
you can sneak away, and no one will be the wiser.
But bin Laden is there.
And you're gonna kill him for me.
