So does the Secretary of State know a mission like this one is being planned?

[undeterred]

And if she knows, does her husband know too?

1. I suspect STATE was not briefed till very late, given that they bucked Intel and Defence on Libya

I really don't think they would be trusted on needed in the small team planning the operation.

2. Articles relating to the operation plainly state that Obama met with his National Security Team

and that the Principals Committee met as well...both of which the Sec. of State IS a member.



I can't speak to the other.

"Obama convened at least nine meetings with his national security team and the principals met formally an additional five times, plus their deputies met seven times leading up to the operation that killed bin Laden. Obama was actively involved in reviewing all facets of the operation."

3. Regardless of any of what you say...it was kept hush hush till the deed was done
