I guess we’ll find out more but if they were really that close on the ground and had him it might have been better to maybe aim for the kneecaps or bring tasers with them or something nonlethal and make sure they could take him alive.

I’m not complaining that he’s dead and maybe that was the only option, but if they could have taken him alive I think that may have been preferable just for the intel possibilities.

Maybe just getting rid of him was better and ending any chance of terror attacks to get him released or something like that. But it does seem we had a chance to get him alive.

It was never intended to take him alive...nor should it have been. Go to the live thread and get better information....and the whole story...as it comes together....facts are getting lost along the way with so many threads about this.

BTW There is no way a special force team of 25 men entering a compound such as this would even begin to imagine the remotest possibility of taking him alive...they knew it was heavily armed and protected....even Ben Ladin fired before he was taken out....a fire fight means just that...lots of bullits.

You believe he's dead just because Obama says he is?

I need to see the long form death certificate.

Or show me the body...
