When the SEALs Come Knocking, Don't Retreat

You'll just die tired:
U.S. officials provided new details on bin Laden’s final moments, saying the al-Qaeda leader was first spotted by U.S. forces in the doorway of his room on the compound’s third floor. Bin Laden then turned and retreated into the room before being shot twice — in the head and in the chest. U.S. commandos later found an AK-47 and a pistol in the room.

“He was retreating,” a move that was regarded as resistance, a U.S. official briefed on the operation said. “You don’t know why he’s retreating, what he’s doing when he goes back in there. Is he getting a weapon? Does he have a [suicide] vest?”
Lots of liberals are now in deep conflict over whether it was appropriate to shoot bin Laden. My guess is our guys had orders to kill him...period. No trials, no lawyers, no luxury accommodations at Gitmo. Dead.

I'm sure some liberals still think that being dropped into a heavily fortified terrorist compound and in the middle of a firefight is still no excuse not to ask the terrorists if they feel their human rights have been compromised!

We train our military to complete their mission, not to ask the enemy if that would be alright before proceeding.
