Quote from Gabfly1:
I'm just wondering how some of you heroic critics would have dealt with OBL after engaging in a firefight, and when he did not freeze after being confronted. Maybe you'd be feeling luck that things had gone well thus far and would not shoot to kill, thereby risking the possibility that he might activate a little jihad strap-on that he may or may not have had hidden underneath his clothing. You would have no way of knowing ahead of time. All you knew for certain is that he was well aware of an attack on his compound for at least several minutes prior to his being confronted, and that he did not stop moving when he was confronted. Feeling lucky?
I think it's fascinating that some of the very people who were out for blood from the get-go after 9/11, and especially after he took "credit" for the atrocity in subsequent videos, are now outraged that OBL was not greeted with a warm cup of cocoa upon a courteous apprehension.
It's pretty sick, some of these people with their supposed moral high ground. This is Osama fucking Bin Laden we're talking about here. He wasn't the head of a state, or even a government employee. He was a terrorist at war with the USA. Grow some balls and admit the world is better off without this scum.
