re: #175 albusteve

it took 10 years and millions of dollars and maybe even innocent lives to run down Bin Laden…a monumental effort and it will go down in history as the King of all operations…they will be studying this gig around the world for decades when the truth comes out…all of that at risk, and BO had no choice but to do it…had he stalled and blown his chance it would have been the greatest ops blunder in history…he made the call, but who would not?

I think there was a lot of risk. If we ran afoul of the Pakistani military it could have been bad. If the Pakistanis thought it was an incursion from India it could have been a nuclear war. Was the operation too big or maybe too small. If we botched it there wouldn’t be a second chance. He made the right choice.
