I disagree. Obama probably wanted him alive and wanted to try him in NYC. IMHO, the SEAL got the SOB in his sights and just said," To hell with it!" and pulled the trigger. You know the SEAL had the right to make a judgment at the scene if his life was in danger. On the flight over, he probably thought of the circus and the 10 year wait to kill the SOB, so he just saved us a bunch of money and grief. I'm sure Obama was deeply disappointed that Osama is sleeping with the fishes.
The decision to go after him was a slam dunk to get a bump in the polls. The situation afterwords would have been a pitiful circus. If he had lived, Obama would have ended up impeached.
