They tried to kill Quadafi with a bomb but got his family instead. And the list goes on and on. The leader of the Taliban...yep, a bomb. So why was this mission different?

They wanted to be certain. Blowing up a building would not guarantee everyone inside was killed, nor would it verify that Osama was amongst the dead. They killed him, verified the kill through conclusive DNA testing, and tossed him away. It was the best plan they had, and it worked out perfectly.
Imagine Obama had failed? How many right wing loons would be in the streets today, screaming for his impeachment? Give the guy a break!
