Question for you, or anyone that wants to answer. If Obama launches that raid to kill Osama Bin Ladin, and the copters are shot down all men killed. - Bacon Feb 22, 22:14 7
- He still wins. There would have been a price to pay but not a heavy one. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 06:27
- well, i don't think Bin Laden gets away because they could have still leveled the compound with a cruise missile - charlie Feb 22, 22:17 2
  - I know that the Democrats used Tora Bora against Bush. Our last chance at Bin Ladin before we finally got him -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 22:19 1
    - there's a difference between taking an action that fails and not taking any action at all - charlie Feb 22, 22:22
- If they were all killed would we have known about it - or would it just have been helicopters shot down by rebel fire? -- nm - Meg Feb 22, 22:16 2
  - It was in Pakistan, I think it would have made news. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 22:19
  - I think for the purposes of my hypothetical question. We follow the rules of the failed Iranian Hostage Rescue. The media finds out about it. -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 22:18
That was a good read. Picked up a few more techical details. -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 21:55
