This wasn't a Swat Team Operation, it was the USA Navy Seals. It is interesting that 'old fashioned methodologies' are still the most valuable tool in the Special Ops toolbox. Nice. Well done. Nothing like the mind of a well prepared military operation. It was like 'clock work' dare I say.
Osama bin Laden was wanted dead or alive with a price on his head on the FBI Most Wanted List. There isn't any thing else to say. Just because he was not armed with a weapon when he died doesn't mean he wasn't armed through franchising all the other human beings in the building. The intelligence estimation was what the Navy Seals had to prepare their mission. They did it with expertise surmounting any in the world and the precision to match. It is amazing they pulled it off at all because they were minimally rattled by the loss of a helicopter.
"Seek and Destroy." The title alone mapped out the final result and our Seals came home safely. I am proud of them and always will be. There was no other option open to them. They could not take the chance of carrying Osama Bin Laden back to Afghanistan and then back to the USA. The 'target' would have caused huge problems for the USA military in their engagements and that was far too high a price to pay.
I thank everyone involved including President Obama for having the guts to carry this mission to a final outcome.
