Funny, you are the one engaging in rampant speculation about the lack of a response to the first escape attempt.
You mentioned that the hostage takers had run out of ammo, yet CNN is reporting there was a shootout during the final moments of the rescue. Which is it, fact man?
Another article on this thread said the captors had run out of ammo. We'll probably have to wait a couple days to get a clearer story. But I have differentiated my speculation from what I have read from news sources. You're just pulling claims out of your nether regions.
Can you cite specifically where I have ever engaged in such speculation? I never mentioned it.

LOL. You don't have the facts nor do I. Admit it.
