He left the room while this was going down.

I will tell you what I believe.

I believe if they try to throw these Seals under bus the American people will lift that bus off them and shove it up somone’s posterior.

I know I will help do some of the lifting.

The Navy Seals will be thrown under the bus.

All I know is if they try to throw the SEALs who killed Usama under the buss, you'll have millions of people marching tearing the jail open to free them.

It’s looking like they burst into a house in the middle of the night and shot everybody there. Women, teens, everybody UNARMED? They couldn’t get any intel from anybody? The courier? Wives? OBL? If this is how we operate the John Kerry and Murtha were right.

Dude.

You can't really believe that.

Give the story some time to develop. There's no indication that we shot kids there, one woman was shot in the leg when she got in the line of fire, and speculating further that we're whacking entire families is reckless.

Why were you uneasy? It is obvious, all he had to do was put his hands up and surrender, then obey the orders of the Seal team that apprehended him. Anything else would put the operation in jeopardy, warranting his death.

Ridiculous Rules of Engagement under Obama.

If those soldiers have to abide by them and get killed because of it ..then so do these Navy Seals.

Wrong.

The specific team used is not under military command. They are under executive command and do not have to abide by military rules of engagement.

I am not saying the rules of engagement for our troops is right. I agree with you that it is getting our brave men and women killed. However, this team has a special designation that exempts them from all of that.

Don't forget that Obama prosecuted three SEAL team members for allegedy punching a terrorist they were sent to abduct.

Proper protocol for taking down someone believed to be wearing a suicide vest is to shoot them in the head. Remember the SAS guy in London who shot the Brazilian who was running from him?

Unless Obama wants to be a one-termer, it's going nowhere. He'll lose the state of New York and every swing state in the country. He'll be lucky to carry Maryland.

Why do that, when he can pretend he's the hero champion ultimate king badass of the 21st century and wear that stolen valor like a crown on his unworthy head? Why turn the biggest victory of his miserable administration into the engine of his own defeat?

Maybe those guys were not Seals, but CIA.

If that was th case I can see why Obozo might need some Pepto.

Did it not occur to you that bin Laden was ENEMY NUMBER ONE, and the most famous bad guy on the planet, therefore, one of the most dangerous people on earth?

Doesn't it make sense that everyone who entered his secret lair was prepared to meet their maker, if the smallest thing had twitched? Do you really think those commandos had the luxury of analyzing everything that went down, in a stop-motion, frame-by-frame analysis before they committed to squeezing their triggers?

It also tends to be pretty dark inside most houses in the middle of the night. That might have had a wee bit to do with the outcome, as well.

Obama is dead, and I am toasting our Navy Seals with a special drink created in their honor.

Two shots and a splash of water...it's called The Bin Laden.

What can’t be disputed is all of this is not adding up.

They damn well knew what went down on Sunday. They would have been told everything.

You see the stories changing all over the place..and now the story is Osama wasn’t armed and there was no human shield.

It isn’t hard to see where this is going...

Why did Obama leave the room as this was going down???

Enemy Number 1 and the dude leaves the room during the mission???

Yep! He was shot dead on the spot because he deserved to be killed. He needed it! They should have dropped the body in a remote spot in the desert to rot!

Obama and Holder would have had a huge problem because of their past policies which would lead to his trial in a US civilian court, another nightmare.

I find it particularly rich that the United Nations High Bitch for Human Rights is asking questions about how this went down. It will be up to Obama to tell her to go to hell (politely of course), and that will further endear him to his base in such locales as Cambridge, Provincetown, Northampton, and San Francisco.
