You REALLY do have problems...just as you said.
As I have stated previously, I have no problem with OBL being killed in the fog of war. If the situation was unsure or the troops felt threatened, by all means, shoot first and ask questions later. I was not referring to that scenario.
But that was not necessarily the case, here. In fact, there is a good deal of evidence that all gunfire had ceased a half hour before OBL was found.
We will never know the circumstances, nor should we. The fact that OBL wound up dead on the floor does not add any information one way or the other, because that was a forgone conclusion, if it was, in fact, a “Kill Mission”.
So do you understand how all your points about the phases of the moon and Von Clauswitz (sp?) are beside the point?
