“It’s really not fishy at all, “
Let me correct your statement,
It “MIGHT NOT BE” fishy at all,
You are welcome.
Beyond that, even if Obama wanted to take these guys out, there's simply no way to assassinate a Teir I SOF team without a very high chance of being caught.

Tragic, yes. Sad, definitely. Fishy, no.
