Somehow, waiting until dark with increasing seas, and having to take a shot at targets on a lifeboat pitching up and down two or three feet is not optimal when you had daylight shots earlier with calmer seas. Your opinions are not based on what is being reported from the scene.
That's right. None of us where there and we don't know the reasons behind every move or what was discussed behind the scenes...or what the long term goal was. We will probabaly never know the true discussions because that will hurt future efforts in the same sitaution.
Besides, this is still a fresh story. Multiple "truth's" will probabaly be written obout this over the next few months.
