U.S. forces responded to gunfire aboard the yacht Quest at approximately 1 a.m. Tuesday, but discovered all four hostages had been shot by their captors. Despite steps to provide life-saving care, all four hostages died of their wounds.

The yacht Quest was hijacked on Friday off the coast of Oman and U.S. forces had been closely monitoring the vessel.
So what does closely monitoring mean?
US forces didn't approach until they heard gunfire? - that apparently didn't emit from some of their guns?
It probably means Obama imposed so many rules of engagement on the military, all they were left to do was sit and watch.

Would that surprise you with the rules of engagement that Obama has set up for the military all over the world?
