I don't care if they had no weapons. Nobody on those planes or in those WTCs, or in those embassies, etc. had weapons.
Osama was the most wanted man in the world, dead or alive. There is absolutely no way they were going to let him get away. Besides, it's not like the team is going to walk up and say, "Hey guys, put your weapons down, we're coming to get your leader!" They are some of the best trained killers in the world and aren't going to risk being killed for the sake of niceties when it comes to terrorists.
Also, second what chef said about probably confiscating their weapons. I doubt people guarding a man of Osama's stature would be unarmed. How much of Pakistan's comments are just damage control to keep their Muslim citizens from rioting?
I am a pacifist.
But even from my perspective, I feel that there is no way that you could allow Bin Laden to walk out of there alive. It doesn't matter if he was armed or unarmed, surrounded by wives, kids or whoever. As soon as they saw him, he needed to receive a bullet in the head.
As long as he received that bullet in the head it was a successful mission.
I would've preferred we castrated him and stuck his balls in his mouth before we shot him.
But I'm more than satisfied with killing every fucking bastard helping him hide.
I just heard about this little factoid and thought that it was amazingly badass.
Did you know that the Navy Seals that killed bin Laden also had attack dogs that had TITANIUM FANGS!!!!!

That, is pretty damned badass.
