Come on dude. It means that he'll probably be killed instead of captured alive. Osama can come out of his cave with a necklace of flowers, waving a white flag and singing our national anthem, he'll still catch a bullet in the dome.
Thats exactly what they said about Saddam. All the papers and all the pundits were claiming that the Administration would NEVER allow Saddam to be captured alive even if Saddam surrendered.
Most of y'all have NO clue the level of discipline that our Special Forces troops have. They WANT him captured alive and it would be a near impossibility to order one of them to 'accidentally' kill Osama for any reason.

Why do you think that there are almost no Special Forces or Ranger units in Iraq at present? Almost every deployable special operations unit that this country has are sitting in Afghanistan.
This includes the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 10th Special Operations Groups, the bulk of the 75th Ranger Regiment, the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment and numerous other units that have been in Afghanistan since the initial attack.
Many of the members of these units have deployed to Afghanistan, been there long enough to rotate home for a while and then have deployed again to that God forsaken hellhole of a country. So please don't cheapen their contributions by claiming that they are not 'making and effort' to capture him.
