Was Bin Laden assassinated ?

So lets say Obama told the Pakistan president and he said get lost - stay out and we'll deal with him for you. Do you really think they would have capture Osama (dead or alive) and turned him over to the US. Not a chance in hell.
The circumstances warranted keeping Pakistan in the dark. That does not make it acceptable in other situations.
And seemingly you feel Reinhard Heydrich was murdered or was he assassinated rather than merely having been killed by the Resistance.
I agree fully. I believe that there was more aid announced to PK just after and if a few people there were not aware in advance, they sure weren't complaining. Allowing the US access in exchange for aid and a bit of yelling is little cost to Pakistan and they keep their growing religious segment happy.
As for the OP, I think the SEALs would have taken him alive but they were likely looking for any reason to 'get it done'.
Is he dead yes!! Was he buried at Sea not likely hes in a freezer hold aboard a navy ship heading back to the States. There gonna dissect that crazy ass bastard and study his brain.
I LOL'dhey you have to have morals i war. bin laden should have called the president and told him the planes were coming to crash into the buildings to make it moral and legal.
Sure it does. We've even codified it into the Geneva Conventions. Moreover there is a purely practical dimension here--we are not going two in over the civilian population of the Middle East by committing a series of atrocities. If you think you can win a war that way you are naive. That approach will simple generate more and more people who want to oppose you.
The US has a coupla' executive orders that ban USG employees or agents from participating or conspiring in an assassination.
If anyone feels they have sufficient evidence to indicate that this was an assassination, they might want to get in touch with the nearest office of the Tea Party movement so as to get that Obama fella' turfed from the office he holds.
It was what it was, a very dangerous job in a very dangerous place against a very dangerous target. People often die under those conditions. The SEAL & SOAR teams lost 18 or so members a few years back in a similar situation.

Isn't common knowledge that the majority of Muslims are not extremists like OBL? They all know he was villain and manipulator just like the Taliban. There are other ways to win the MI over. I doubt they will care about him in the long run but the US can't drop the ball on doing whatever it can to support those who are in favour of democracy & individual rights in the Arab states.
U.S. had plan to interrogate Osama bin Laden
I heard on the radio that they had a special team on standby. I think this was a to cover the unlikely scenario that they found themselves stuck with a live prisoner.
The soldiers were too well trained to accidentally kill OBL. A charging wife gets shot in the leg while a standing old unarmed man gets two rapid kill shots (heart, head). They easily could have taken him alive if they wanted.

anyone who thinks there are rules in war is naive. the rules don't apply when it comes to fighting, the lowest blow usually wins. sitting back and claiming moral superiority while your country is being over thrown is not a viable option. countries do what they have to do to win. most people fight to win, not fight to look good. you never hear anyone say they feel good about losing and that they are proud of failing.
as for osama and that war, the u.s did what it set out to do and now it should pack up and come home and worry about the problems at home till attacked again. they did the right thing and everything they needed to do to win.

not sure what you are reading but he grabbed his wife as a human sheild, she was not charging and he was armed and firing. does your report also mention that couple dozen kids in the house that were unharmed and the other civilians in the house that were also unharmed.
Sometimes you just have to dummy down posts so that the select few can understand them and leave the complex posts for others to take in.
It still won't happen, no matter who pissed in your oatmeal.
Who fucking cares? This mass murdering piece of shit got better than what he deserved. I would have put his head on a spike and planted it at Ground Zero. Radical muslims don't like it? Send out some more Seal teams.
