So? The people in the WTC were unarmed when they were murdered.

If he had been sleeping soundly, he should have been taken out.

"How did we go from “Bin Laden had a weapon and was using his wife as a human shield” to “Bin Laden was unarmed and didn’t have a human shield” in the span of 24 hours when there’s apparently helmet-cam footage of the whole raid?

It's called political spin, and the White House has their machine turned up to maximum rpm.

According to the photo they released, Obama and his aides watched the action live. So how they could not describe what happened accurately is a mystery. Makes one wonder if they were actually watching a movie.

I told mu nephew today that before this was over they would have the Seals on trial.

If they do we need to tear down the courthouse.

Obama is trying to take credit, it’s time he took the heat also.

“I knew from past intelligence that UBL was known to be armed, his hands where hidden from view, he did not respond to orders to show his hands and surrender. I believed my life and the lives of my fellow SEALs were in real and immediate danger.”

“And he just needed killin’.”

At least he was given the chance to surrender.
It sure would have been great to be a fly on the wall to see how long it was from the time he said "NO" until the time the bullet forced the issue.

Michael Savage made quite an issue today about this very issue. He asked if it makes sense Obama didn't reach for a weapon the moment he knew the compound was under assault. He also cited reports that there were no security forces on site and asked if that made sense.

In both cases, assuming the second is true, my response is "no".

In time a number of questions about this operation are sure to emerge. These are a start.

In the article:

When Benson asked the first U.S. official whether bin Laden tried to grab a weapon or physically attack a commando, the official said only, “He didn’t hold up his hands and surrender.”

That's sounds like justification to shoot to me!

Didn’t they … watch the video before chatting with the press?

That would be, like, professional dude, you know, and adult, and establishment, and like why would he want to be all stuff and checking on what he says like it's planned out and all when we elected him to end Bush's wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, and to close Gitmo, and not waterboard because that doesn't work, and all?

I don’t care if he was watching “Jeopardy” and eating a nutty buddy and they shot him in the back. He’s gone just like a rodent.
