I find it humorous that Canuck and Snotty, two of the three most
ignorant conspiracy theorists on rec.boats, in this and in other posts,
have yet more conspiracies.
Since I wasn't in the room and videos haven't been shown, I don't know
what happened immediately before Osama was shot dead. My *hope* was that
he was indeed first given an opportunity to surrender. As I have stated
previously, it wouldn't bother me to learn he was shot while resisting
capture/arrest.
NBC has an unnamed white house official calling this a kill mission. I
think it is clear they were not looking for a prisoner.
Earlier today Savannah Guthrie quoted an unnamed White House official
commenting on the rising criticism of how bin Laden was killed, who
said "they weren?t raiding a girl scout troop looking for overdue
library books. They were on a kill mission for Osama bin Laden."
I'm sure they got more from the computers they took than anything OBL
would tell them, no matter how much water they splashed in his face.
The way these guys are trained they could have taken him alive, period.
Harry and the rest of the hypocrites here just can't admit it was a kill
mission, it doesn't fit their agenda... I still think it would have been
better to "splash him in the face" a few times. I am sure there was
stuff in his head that was not on disk. Most likely the names of the US,
UN, and Pakistani contacts that were protecting him there...
