Osama Bin Laden was asked to surrender by US troops before he was shot dead, Fox News is quoting intelligence sources as saying.

“What a complete mess and hopefully when the giddy media calm down and stop cheerleading then they will ask these questions”
Number one the media is not going to stop cheerleading for their messiah. If anything the cheerleading is going to intensify and take on a whole new meaning. In other words; you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Number two why would the adoring press bother to ask any hard questions? They haven’t yet so what makes you think they’ll start now?
TV news is showing them, on SKY News at least. They are walking all over the grounds and rooms.
Thank you. While we know that some articles must be excerpted, I will never understand why so many FReepers can not simply post a decent excerpt.
I understand that NBC is working on a poll that will show Barry at a 70%+ approval rating.
Either way, the official report would be that he was killed.
You do the math
Personally, I'm a "deather" - show me the death certificate...
We were watching that location for several months before we went after him. It is doubtful that we would have gotten any more leads after that amount of time.
He was in a fortified compound . He wasn’t walking around playing golf.
There is no doubt that he and the others fought their way back into a corner where they made the decision to fight to the death and ignore the surrender offer.
Explosives were employed and then he was shot in the ensuing final stand.
What I find VERY strange here is the total lack of meaningful or heavily armed security personnel.
If he even had the number of bodyguards of, say, a Mafia boss, rather than a couple of couriers, a woman, and his brother, this could have gone down differently.
Basically, he was alone.
Perhaps something else was covered up by this timing - just like the release of the BC covered some ugly economic news.
OBL was not a bad man... President Bush brought down the towers. He lied about terrorist. He lied us into war./s
Right. And CNN is working on one that will show him with a 101%+ approval rating.
Give the government its due on this. It wasn't just Obama, he just gets to take the credit. The real heroes are the intelligence workers and the SEAL team plus all the massive forces that undoubtedly supported them during this.
Even most excerpt allow for at least 300 words which gives one a fair idea of the content.
I think it’s lack of consideration or maybe just laziness to not try and make the info as complete as possible. To me if it’s worth posting then be as complete as possible.
I sit next to a "911 inside job" idiot. I'm tempted to taunt him further than I usually do...which is pretty hard. I jokingly taunt him that I thing Space Aliens committed 911. That way I don't have to explain technical details due to the unexplainable technology that Space Aliens possess.
No way. Their intelligence is wrong. The order was clear. He was to be killed, not captured.
Far better he is dead than being a prisoner on trial by the Great Satan. The trial would have gone on for years and no doubt, Americans would have been abducted and used to bargain for the release of Osama. Dead and buried at sea is the best result.
It’s a wonder Holder didn’t force them to Mirandize him and go in armed only with billyclubs
First time I’ve read that..interesting...I mean, if they can fake a birth certificatge, they can dummy up a pic of a dead OBL.
Did the SEALs also ask him to accept Jesus Christ as his savior before offing him? :)
Or a last meal?
