They said that when the Navy Seals reached the top floor, two women were in front of bin Laden, trying to protect him. One Seal shoved them away, fearing they might be wearing suicide bomb vests.
Right. They kept suicide belts readily available around the house – just in case they needed to protect Osama and the kids by blowing everybody up.
The White House originally told us that Osama pushed his wife into the line of fire as he blasted his rifle, while Obama watched it live. The White House was unaware that they weren’t actually watching the firefight which didn’t actually happen.
And no doubt special ops forces are trained to run towards people with suicide belts. What could possibly go wrong with that?
Another source involved in the operation said bin Laden appeared “scared and completely confused” in the moments before he was shot.
They couldn’t see if he was armed because it was too dark – but they could see that he was in his underwear on his bed, looking scared and confused – when they shot him in the head.
Their rush to appear important is what’s doing them in….
Just like Hillary claimed Chelsea was at the World Trade Center, called mom, and mom went running to save her….
..and they were under fire and had to do a corkscrew landing in Bosnia, while a little girl presented them with flowers on the tarmac
It these were republicans, the media would be all over it
Americans have a historical right to blow people up for their own protection.
ps seriously, my guess is that voters mistakenly neglect to consider foreign policy, leaving Governments of whatever color to do as they please, usually quite shameful acts.
Believe it or not, we even do it to our own. There was a man outside of a small town I used to live in. He was apparently despondent and was threatening suicide with a pistol, in his vehicle. The police got him to roll down his window, and then they tossed a grenade into the car………… we stopped him from killing himself! That was about 15-20 years ago.
Personally i do not care if the coward shoved his wife/s at the seals or hunkered down in a corner pleading for mercy, he got what he deserved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where’s Peter Arnett (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%E1%BA%BFn_Tre) when you need him?
Obama’s administration has been remarkably inept at recounting a consistent story here – suggesting they are inept.
Personally, I hope the seals woke the guy up for just long enough for him to understand what was going to happen to him.
To tell the truth, offing bin Laden was the right move. As a criminal mastermind, he is always armed and dangerous—you never know what he might have planned or ready to be triggered. Just because he did not in this event does not mean that the approach used was not entirely appropriate.
We have nothing to apologize for.
Yea, we should storm Corcoran State Prison and off Charles Manson. In fact we should just go kill every bad guy we don’t like. Who needs laws anyway?
