I was willing to extend the benefit of lack of onsite information to the Obama administration, given the successful final outcome. But if the SEALs had clear daylight kill shots, they should have been taken. Instead, the SEALs apparently had much tougher shots when the time came. Thank God they were up to the task.

"If the goal was just to kill these guys there were opportunities where we could have shot them," said a military official. "This was not the outcome we wanted. We wanted those three guys to give themselves up."
No problem at all.
Thanks for your post. Something about this made no sense to take so long and then the first words I heard was the WH was taken back at how this went down and I said OOPs! I had a feeling then the Navy finally acted as a measure of last resort because ZERO couldn’t make up his mind.

I have no problem with your previous posts on this issue. We now have more information than we did last week end. Keeping a cool head is a good thing, imho.
I think many of us suspected that this was going to come out, but all we had were our suspicions.
