Sorry, just re-read, but ordering multiple pizzas ( apparently there were some 50 pizzas delivered to get everyone through the day, night) to the White House tips off the media through the pizza places. So, in turn, they ordered only 3-4 pizzas from each place to be delivered at different areas and times. Again, it is stupid, but when I sat back and thought that this was such a high-level military affair that it had to be planned down to the amount of pizza's delivered.

Oh, I wasn't mocking you- I was actually just entertained at the thought that "lots of pizza = super secret white house activities." Like, of all the things to give it away.... :-P

I didn't think that When I read back I was not very clear. Though, with all the secret shit which probably goes down I wouldn't put it past the media to be stalking out all kids' birthday parties who ordered mass amount food, lol. It was such a small part of the story, but, was so incredibly powering as to how much secrecy has to go on for these covert operations.

I don't remember. It was on the History channel a couple of years ago; actually, it may have been a year after? Let me google.

It was called " Targeting Bin Laden"- lol, that I actually had to google that.

But, here was a very quick link to an article regarding the documentary but I didn't look further than that.

This was an exerpt from the article I originally referred to in this post, regarding Obama's poise during that dinner years ago:

The film hits its stride when the president gives the raid the green light, despite serious reservations of several top advisers. The film notes that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, held the night before the raid, had greater perils than just the president’s humor routine flopping. “There’s a dangerous mix in the room: journalists, White House insiders, and alcohol,” the narrator intones. “If someone makes a single indiscreet comment, then it’s all over.” But the administration couldn’t cancel the event without raising eyebrows—in fact, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos was curious about the cancellation of White House tours the following day, a curiosity barely staved off by a surprised Chief of Staff Bill Daley over dinner.

Poor George must have freaked the fuck out hearing that he always derailed one of the most successful military operations of all time. Way to go George, lol.

I'm going to miss him.

I bet the republicans say something about how he should be running the country, not making jokes at a dinner.

This Republican was in stitches watching.

I stand corrected!  I will amend my statement to say "some republicans will say something...
