The administration insists their first choice was to capture him alive.

Typical administration insanity.

Whatever the strike force did, or Osama did or didn't do, there is very little to criticize about this mission. As someone posted earlier, this came off like a Mitch Rapp mission.

Now the WH is saying bin Laden wasn't armed. How does this mesh with their claim their first choice was to capture him? Is their story changing? Is the seal that shot him in trouble?

White House: bin Laden not armed when killed

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House says Osama bin Laden was not armed when a Navy SEAL raiding party confronted him during an assault on his compound in Pakistan.

White House press secretary Jay Carney acknowledged that bin Laden did not have a weapon even though administration officials have said that bin Laden resisted during the raid.
