Makes me wonder if he really did try to "shoot his way out" of the compound as Obama and the other pathological liars have indicated.
I really want to know why they couldn't arrest him, tie him up and put him on a helicopter as was the case when Saddam was found.
This is yet another case where President Bush did this kind of thing right, and Obama did it all wrong.
Maybe they did just that.
No one has suggested that Bin Laden tried to shoot his way out of the compound. It is said that he did not have a weapon in his hand but there was an AK47 in the room and I think they mentioned another weapon. Perhaps he was about to lunge for it/them? His wife did lunge at the Seals and was shot in the leg. I have heard several of Obama’s statements and none said anything about “shoot his way out.” Where did you get that mis-information?
The most sensible reason I have heard for not capturing him is that probably a number of people would be kidnapped in other countries, and held for ransom for Bin Laden’s release. How would you like to be the one to decide whether to allow an airplane with 200 American men, women and children on board to be blown up, or to release Bin Laden? This method has been employed by Palestinian terrorists who capture a few Isaeli soldiers and demand release of a large number of Palestinian prisoners. Bin Laden was loved by many, Saddam by very few. So I think both Bush and Obama have handled their respective captures the right way.
