Bin Laden is there...

... and you're going to kill him for me.

I think the idea was that we should register Maya's statement, made to the SEAL, as rather impressive, but it just sounds crass. If any one person might be justified in saying it, I suppose it would be a President, but even then it would sound crass, and I can't see any President saying it (though Presidents have been known to say some pretty dumb things, it's true). Awful, dud line.

I beseech ye in the bowels of Christ, think that ye may be mistaken.

I thought the line was rather badass.

I hated the "Paki comms, No chatter" line.
Why would she being the one saying that? Did they leave out a scene where she got deputized as a SEAL? It just seemed so ridiculous that she'd be doing anything more than just listening in, as a courtesy, if even that.

Haha, matt, I reacted on exactly the same thing. That operation is being followed by what, 50 people? And only she is the one who can tell that the Pakistanis were reacting/not reacting.
