#1 Unarmed? Their arms were still attached.

#2 Some PAKI BLOGGERS are upset that PAK Army-Mil Officers allegedly sold these photos for personal profit, proclaiming the action to be corrupt + unprofessional.

#3 If I were a citizen of the Land of the Corrupt and Unprofessional, I would worry that selling pix for pin money was the least of the on-going military malfeasance.

#4 We've had our disagreements on topics in the past but on this one you get no argument from me

I couldn't give a rats if those demons had weapons on them or not. I couldn't care if they were women or men.

That was 100% justified.

Whoever they were they knew they were harbouring Bin Laden and as such they forfeit their lives. They should have given him up to the authorities.

They get what they deserve armed or not. I don't even care if they are cripples in wheelchairs.

#7 AS I recall, his victims weren't exactly armed either.

Odd how the media and U.N. get all bend-out-of-shape if a 3,000 times premedited murderer might not have been 'armed' at the time but don't give rat shit about his victims - who were innocent.

Besides, as the article stated, plenty of time for any weapons to be removed either by the SEALs (who I presume would not want to leave any weapons behind ) or the other 'civilians'....

#8 It's possible that bin Laden was in a wheel chair or otherwise pretty much an invalid due to his very long dependence on dialysis. That doesn't make him less dangerous as a leader/inspiration but if it was true it would have made the visuals .... unhelpful.

#9 I can't help but think that Bambi relied on RAB Crossfire episodes for this raid;
Time: 0230 About right for the:
Place: Some Upazila:
Miscreants: Shot or fled, as if they were never there, and
Amazingly, no Good Guys were hit by any randomly aimed weapons, which then:
were meticulously retrieved, only to be cleaned and replaced in their velvet lined cases for NextTime.
