""All reports which have addressed the issue of "taking alive" agree that he had armed assistance in the house and was not eager to surrender.   If you think this is incorrect, we need sources and exact quotes""

Do you guys ever look at the situation?

He had about twenty people in that house, some of whom were women and children, and that doesn't leave much of an armed assistance.

Also, none of those supposed "armed assistants" managed to get off a single shot, and hardly anybody was killed, on either side.

It seems Al Qaeda is recruiting the wrong people, unless they were just civilians.

So, if the Seals captured all of those "armed assistants" without killing them, how come they made an exception for ObL, wounding his wife in the process?

Doesn't seem very plausible.

And for Keith, to save him the trouble of talking about having to make split second decisions, that is precisely what they train for.
