11. I would have, also. But, I can see why it wouldn't have been possible.
There's the Backlog of Gitmo Cases that would have had their lawyers very angry if Osama had been placed there waiting on the Queue..given that others have never and will never EVER have hopes of a "fair trial."

If Obama wanted "closure" on "9/11" his best (pragmatic) option was to kill Osama so that he would never speak again and not be an object for Jihadists and others to use him as a Hero.

It was Obama's call and it was his decision and many DU'ers/Democrats are pleased with it and he seems to be a Hero to THEM for doing this "KILL." To others of us it doesn't sit well with our ethics and it reminds us of Bush/Cheney.

I guess we need to go "one more time" with Obama to see where he's going with getting us out of these Wars of Bush.

I guess I'm trying to give him some slack. It isn't easy...but it's worth it to see if we should vote for him another time? It's a "Wait and Watch" to see how he handles this down the line.
