The message in the video was that they didn’t have video feed.
It was also apparently a very fast operation. It sounds to me like our guys didn’t give their guys time to do anything except surrender or die.
And they probably would’ve had to have made up their minds beforehand that they were going to surrender if we stormed in. I don’t think they were allowed a lot of time to stand there and weigh the pros and cons.
Giving them time to weigh the pros and cons would’ve also given them time to pull a grenade.
What if Obama had a stutter and no one knew it?
