To avoid any chance for a Leftwing trial spectacle in NYC, I bet the choice on the ground was to terminate.

According to U.S. officials, two U.S. helicopters swept into the compound at 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Shouldn't that be Monday morning? We need to know when to celebrate VWOT Day.

I wonder if he fired the gun before or after the seals shot him...

What happened to all the white hairs in his beard? Guess even Osama had image consultants.

The SEALS raided the compound. A firefight ensured. Bin Laden fired back, as did others in the compound.
After 40 minutes of fighting, bin Laden, two couriers, and one of bin Ladens adult sons were killed, as was a woman used as a shield by one of the male members of al Qaeda. Two other women were injured.
During the raid one helicopter was lost due to mechanical failure. The aircraft was destroyed by the crew.
Carrying bin Ladens dead body, the SEALS boarded the remaining helicopter to exit the compound.
White House national security staffers had been in the Situation Room since 1pm ET. At 2:00pm the President met with the Principals to review final preparations.
At 3:50pm the President was told bin Laden had been tentatively identified.

woman reportedly used as a shield by one of the men. How honorable!
Btw, is it remarkable that there was a gunfight, but no U.S. casualties?

Good shooting!
Forehead and right eye, and possibly the left temple. Three’s the charm!

There weren’t any casualities on our side. None.
To think of it...the LAST thing UBL saw was an American with a gun.

I want a well marked grave where I can leave a peace offering of bacon, and relieve myself.

This appears to be an old picture.. google.com, search Osama long dead site:blogspot.com and you can see a cached image of the April 28th scan of the site that references a 2010 posting. This picture has been around for a while, else they’ve got a very elaborate hoax tossed together really quick.
