Well when we are thinking of giving terrorist criminal trials, there never would have been a corpse.
If only we could have got him there, would have been great.

So he could be found guilty in the USA, and then executed? I'm usually not in favor of killing a criminal outright, but I'll make an exception for that SOB. If he was tried at the Hague, there probably wouldn't have been a death penalty. Please tell me why this roach deserved to live another second, much less the 10 years he got after 9-11? Like I said, ask those 3,000 people if they are sorry the SEALS lit him up. My guess is that they'd like to have lived to see it.
The changing story has raised doubts over assurances that the team of U.S. Navy SEALs was prepared to take bin Laden alive.
"If he had surrendered, I think -- attempted to surrender -- I think we should, obviously, have accepted that," Holder told the Senate committee.

He wasn't even armed. How more could he have surrendered? Supplied his own handcuffs???
Yes. Yes, exactly that. This is America, that is the American way. Try him, not execute him.

I agree with you Klein,but it sure would've been cool if they impaled him Vlad the impaler style at ground zero.
he was dead already, his body guard shot him. That is what I think. If any of the reports are correct, which I have not decided which one to believe........................They could have taken him alive easily.
Dont want to show the pics, I was listening to a Navy seal on the radio, I know it is not gospel, BUT, supposedly his eyes were blown out and that would happen from a rear shot, not a seal who is trained to shoot directly to one place in the head for a kill. There would only be a hole in the front and the back would be blown out.
I was happy my president made the right decision, to take him out, but now Im not sure if he did, or if it was a done deal.
I hate that we cannot just believe the news. its all like smoke and mirrors anymore. Kinda like Hillary saying it was the scariest 38 minutes of video she ever saw, but Pannetta said the tape is all blank. Is that like ducking airfire in Bosnia when there was none, she just mis spoke?

He was in 'reach' of 2 weapons....pistol and ak47....but found it easier to push the wife in front of the seals.
There's a whole lot of armchair quarterbacking going on here. There is nothing easy about an operation like this and the outcome is always in doubt. They had already lost a helo and taken fire from the guy in the guest house and had no real idea what was waiting for them in the main house. Their biggest advantages were surprise and speed and both of those were slipping away every minute they were on the deck. Once shots were fired they knew that had to finish up and get out of there before the Pakistani Army and god knows who else showed up. Bottom line is that they killed the bad guy, grabbed a boat load of raw intel, and all our people came home safe. That's a good op. That's a damn good op, considering who the target was. I agree with over about the dancing in the streets, but that shouldn't take away from what SEALS accomplished. Our guys did it right.

So should the SEALS have stood there and waited for Osama to arm himself before opening fire?
It was never intended to be a fair fight. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
I agree that it was rather tacky of people to hoot and holler and celebrate his death by waving flags, but the bottom line is that he is dead and all of the SEALS are alive, and that is the best possible outcome.
Arresting him and putting him on trial was out of the question. The man publicly admitted responsibility for his acts of terror and declared war upon us. He knew, or should have known, what our response would be. Once the SEALS found him, his chances of survival were about the same as those of the innocent people who were working on the top floors of the Twin Towers on Sept.11th 2001.
Karma is a bitch.

Why doesn't anyone here tell what the original plan was ?
Which was just to air bomb the compound !
But, Obama, didn't want that, and he made the call to get the Navy Seals involved.
He wanted to make sure if Bin Laden was in there.
Just dropping a bomb, they would have never known if he would have been dead or alive or even in there !
The call Obama made was great, but also risky and more complicated.
But, it was made, and with satisfaction knowing well his target is dead !

I can't remember the name of the Country/Western song but it pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter.
It goes something like this.......
"....we ain't wrong,
we ain't sorry and
it's probably gonna happen again."
Congrats to SEAL Team Six!
