I read an article 25 years ago called "Problems with national security in an open society" The gist of it is this. The kind of coverup that would be required for any operation like this would be impossible to execute and the political ramifications would be career ending for Obama. If there were Seals killed in the op, it would not have really made much of a difference, they simply would have been national heros, after all, we killed the bastard didn't we? What I'm saying is that the down side of lying about the deaths would not be worth it. Cynical as it may sound, it may have been politically better as no American politician would dare criticize the Prez or the operation when "heros" died for it. Your conspiracy is a non starter.
