I do appreciate your post but never did I feel we need to justify our actions..to anyone. As when we were asked who gave us permission for the raid. No one.For one simple reason. We asked NO ONE for permission.
And..you are right. That is the perfect answer.
For the people who act surprised, before Obama even took office, he said if need be, he would go into Pakistan to get Osama bin Laden. Why are they surprised now?
Another load of crap.
It was a kill mission period...not that there is anything wrong with that.
I don’t care if he was bending down to kiss his $ss goodbye, no justification necessary, you don’t send SEALS in to negotiate, they did the right thing...
WHo gives a rat’s behind. The man was a murdering coward. Justice was served.
Shepherd Smith talked about this this evening. This guy needs to be fired. He’s always looking for a conspiracy theory and questioning everything our military does. The guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
They need to do this because of the ROE’s and to justify keeping our guys locked up in Leavenworth for doing the same as the SEALS.
No it’s not the perfect answer. We should recite the facts but the defensive nature of these responses make me want to puke. We have nothing to be defensive about in killing Osama Bin Laden.
I’ll bet they thought that before they boarded the choppers.
The commandos feared he had a weapon?
They were concerned he might have a weapon?
Note to the administration ... don’t demote our special forces to your pansy ass way of thinking.
They went in, performed their mission to near perfection and got out.
How about saying something like, “Our special forces went in a took out the man who orchestrated the deaths of over 10,000 people. We won’t reveal the details of these heroes as they are already on a plane to take out the next in line in AQ. We wish them Godspeed and a safe return. They are the reason you don’t have to sleep with one eye open.”
God bless all our troops.
Osama had money sewn into his clothes so he could have been shot while trying to escape. Suits me!
Actually, Osama was making love to his wife when the Seals burst in.
Being a true sportsman the SEAL shot him on the rise.
This is bull crap.
when attempting to capture terrorists, even the blink of an eyelid or the exhaling of air can be construed as a direct threat!
Why are they identifying the SEALs by name? Anyway all the bodies shown look like head shots. Obama’s eye missing and shattered forehead sounds like an exit wound. I don’t think the military would shoot an unarmed man.
“The terrorist leader was killed by American commandos who burst into his room and feared he was reaching for a nearby weapon, U.S. officials said.”
Are we expected to believe that with helicopters landing and a 40 minute firefight inside his compound, Osama didn’t reach for a weapon until Seals kicked in his door? Really? He must have been a VERRY heavy sleeper.
