What was said
"I've just heard that. I don't know if it's true or not. I know a lot of people give the guy Shrek McPhee a hard time, but he talks about a personal incident to where they had a chance to get him and was called off."
Former JSOC contractor Chad Robichaux revealed he heard from multiple sources that US forces had opportunities to capture or kill Osama bin Laden before 2011 but were called off by leadership. He cited John McPhee's account of being ordered to stand down during one such opportunity. Robichaux suggested bin Laden may have been kept alive because of what he knew about 9/11 complicity.
