I was last in the States in 1981 for the RW World Champs at Z-Hills and am very keen to get back to do a signing or two. My wife visited Virginia last year for an educational seminar and said she enjoyed it even more than in 81. If the book starts to fly, I will also do so. Our currency has collapsed, so it is very expensive to travel overseas nowadays, but earning dollars from the royalties will fix that I hope.
To continue the summary: Delta and DEVGRU are briefed to develop their own plans for a raid. Delta opt for a HAHO delivery because of the historical difficulties helicopters transport has suffered from in almost all Americas raids to date. The SEALs , as we know, opt for the Stealth Blackhawk option, with very predictable outcomes, as it turns out. Delta loses out when military observers evaluate both plans. The reason for this is a Dalta soldier has a psychotic incident during a rehearsal and screws the pooch.
A CIA man, who dates back to the Afghan/Russian war becomes involved in the planning and we become uncertain of his motives when we learn that he not only was instrumental in supplying bin Laden with Stingers during that war, but also dealt in opium to re-finance the Contras after Congress shut that operation down.
The Abbottabad raid goes ahead, but with the intention of capturing bin Laden alive.
Taser shotguns are used to incapacitate him, but he suffers a heart attack because of the shock of two TASER rounds to the head and leg.
Much to the SEALs relief, bin Laden is revived and transported back to Jalalabad and on to Ramstein AFB where he is given a mock court martial and executed by lethal injection.
The execution was a ruse to make bin Laden think he had died and a Muslim trick, many centuries old, is used to dupe him into revealing his plans and comrades in real time to the American interrogators.
As Marco Polo reported about the Old Man of the Mountains and his band of young Hashashins, the ruse is to convince the subject that he has entered paradise.
Using a flight simulator and HD graphics helmet, the supposedly deceased bin Laden is questioned by the Arch Angel Jibril, who is the same as Christianities Gabriel.
Under mild sedatives and mind altering drugs, bin Laden flys on the Angels shoulder over the tribal areas of Pakistan, pointing out those locations he feels need special protection by Jibrils fellow guardian angels.
What bin Laden is actually seeing in his helmet, is a video feed from a drone overflying those badlands. As locations are pointed out by him, they are laser tagged and a following drone disposes of them with missiles.
To be continued. I have a breakfast date with some old comrades.
