As has been stated...the only way Osama woukd have lived is if he had been naked. Otherwise it was suggested he could very well be strapped with a suicide vest and engage that if he felt his life was in danger. Therefore the Seal team made the decision based on what they were facing....one or many firefights doesn’t matter...guns were firing from those at the compound and that means there is a firefight.
Well, that is the critical determination, as far as I’m concerned. If there was a reasonable conclusion that he was a danger to the SEAL Team, I have no problem with them killing him. If not, I do.
What I don’t have a lot of patience with is the attitude that it doesn’t matter, that OBL should have been killed on sight whether or not he presented a threat. It bothers me that so many people endorse our government having that kind of power.
