I don't understand why any details are being given on whether OBL had a gun or not. Hell, our president feels that his university transcripts are secret enough to not release, why shouldn't the details of the operation be kept secret too. 1. OBL lived in the compound 2. We attacked the compound 3. We were met with gunfire when we attacked the compound 4. All males on the compound were killed during the operation. 5. OBL was one of the males 6. OBL's body was disposed of in the ocean 7. The End I'm pretty happy with that information. Whether or not OBL had a gun isn't really important and shouldn't be a talking point by the administration.

=== The White House backed away Monday evening from key details in its narrative about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, including claims by senior U.S. officials that the Al Qaeda leader had a weapon and may have fired it during a gun battle with U.S. forces. Officials also retreated from claims that one of bin Laden’s wives was killed in the raid and that bin Laden was using her as a human shield before she was shot by U.S. forces. ... What’s your best, good-faith guess? === In Obama's confused, naive mind, he does not want to offend Islamists. He has already given bin laden Islamic burial honors. Now he is hiding the fact that bin laden had a gun, and was hiding behind a woman. So...... Obama pays tribute to bin laden by ordering that our military follows muslim burial customs, and is now apparently falsifying the actual seal mission results, in order to not stir up the Islamists?! . Subverting the facts of the actual Seal operation, which makes us look bad and bin laden look good; and giving bin laden an honorable muslim burial, are just two more insults heaped upon America by Obama.
