Once you get past that first question, things start to get very interesting. We may not like to admit this, but there's a very fine line -- or maybe no line at all -- between a Navy SEAL operation in Pakistan and an FBI/ATF raid on a Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.

I see where you are going with it, but the would-be messiahs outside of Waco, and it is outside of Waco - Waco should not be slandered with an association with that bunch, and one of the masterminds of a plot that killed thousands of Americans in a self-declared are completely different matters.

The Branch Davidian freaks could have been handled in a much more common sense manner that would have resulted in anything but the drama that occurred.

Osama on the other hand, was beyond the reach of law enforcement, and it was a war and a military matter, even if our government refuses to declare formal wars anymore.

Osama's death was akin to the US Army Air Corps killing Isoroku Yamamoto in 1943.

Bin Laden deserved to be killed, but the whole incident highlights the hypocrisy of Obama, the Democrats, the MSM and the entire left. Had this happened under GWB’s watch, the same bunch which refuses to criticize Obama would have threatened to drag W in front of the International War Crimes Tribunal. Obama is getting a free pass because the Republicans support the action and the left will not criticize The One under any circumstances.
