A compound was built in Afghanistan that mirrored the target compound in every (external) aspect. Obviously they did not know the layout of furniture, etc., in the interiors of each room, however, they could duplicate the overall compound and structures with considerable accuracy.

Then several months of practice occurred, to work out the operational details.

Then too, our guys are simply very, very good.

I suppose its also fair to say that Mr. Murphy did not break wrong for us either. Fate always plays a role, to some extent.

Bravo to the guys who went in. They laid it on the line to get this POS.

By the way - I am astounded that the issue of whether OBL was armed or not even merits notice.

As far as I recall, no one in the World Trade Center was armed on September 11, 2001 either. Nor were they combatants. It didn't seem to make much difference to the attackers.
