I watched this show.....he went thru the resistance and shootings in the raid...Then he said OBL offered no resistance......so why didn't they grab the world's number one arch terrorist for interrogation and PR value,,,set up a trail in Saudi Arabia where he was also wanted? . Doesn't make any sense. I'm still waiting for the DNA report.

From reading the two books on the subject the one by the raid team (No Easy Day) and the one by Mark Bowen that is more about kissing Obamas ring, you know the one he keeps in his back pocket. And the fear of the teams and the planners was that Osama would put on a suicide vest and attack the team, like he has told many others to do.
It is easy to monday morning quarter back what the teams did and what could have been done. Especially when the two brothers living in the guest house and the bottom floor of the house as well as Osama's son all were tryingto fight the team sent in to get him. Had all of the men simply tossed up their hands and the helecopter not crashed who knows what would have been done. Had the team had permission from Pakastan to be there, things could have been different.
But the primary goal of the mission was to secure the target and get home alive. I am sure if you were on the mission you could have tackeld OBL and brought him home especally after they had been shooting at you on your way up the stairs to his room but my guess is as soon as he stuck his head out to see what you were doing and where you were, you too would have shot to put him down and then maybe put a game ender in his head so that he could not set off a vest bomb.
The nly thing I am mad about is that they treated is body with respect and burried him according to his twisted version of Islam. In stead they should have made an example of him and using Islam burry him in a way that will nto allow him to go to Paradise as a warning to the others.
