The details of the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound have changed a bit from last night to this morning to this afternoon. Contradicting yesterday's reports from Deputy National Security Advisor John Brennan, White House spokesman Jay Carney said today that Bin Laden was not armed when U.S. commandos raided his compound. He also said that it was "unclear" whether anybody had used a woman as a human shield, as Bin Laden was originally reported to have done.
At a briefing for television reporters on Monday night, one official told Politico's John Gerstein that, "a different guy's wife was killed," but nobody had been used as a human shield. Carney today said one woman had been killed in the crossfire as troops stormed the building that held Bin Laden. "The U.S. team found bin Laden in a room with one of his wives on one of the upper floors, Carney said. Bin Laden's wife rushed the U.S. commandos, and was shot in leg but not killed, he said. Bin Laden resisted and was shot and killed, Carney said." He didn't describe how Bin Laden had resisted, but said, "I think resistance does not require a firearm." Brennan had previously suggested Bin Laden had participated in a firefight.

Hey, Magical Mischief Tour, battles are chaotic. It’s hard to figure out who did what where.
For example, I read osama wasn’t armed. Then I heard that osama drew a picture of an AK on a paper tablet and that was good enough to shoot the peckerhead. No problem for me.
Another version tells us that he drew a picture of a surrender monkey but it wasn’t clear to the SEALS. I think the lead his pencil broke. So they shot him. I can understand that.
Regardless, the US Navy stuffed his dead body in FedEx envelope addressed straight to hell. He had to swim to get there, but WTF. He got there. YAY!!!
I have no problem with that.
If someone has a different version, now’s the time to contribute before this thread shuts down.
Well certainly there must have been "pillow talk". Hmmmm, I wonder if...never mind.
Imagine the waling of your typical liberal if this raid had happened a few years ago and it became known that Bin Laden was shot while he was unarmed!!
I do wish they’d dressed him in fishnets and spike heels and took a few pictures before they dumped him into the ocean!!
He was armed and fired, he wasn't armed at all. He used his wife as a shield, no he charged the SEALs herself. It was capture-or-kill, no it was kill. Pakistan was involved, Pakistan wasn't. It's irritating.
