1. He died rather quickly
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.02.11)
I would have preferred a slow and painful death. Kudos to the U.S. special forces team that rid the world of that monster.
2. NO BODY? WHERE IS THE BODY? BURIED AT SEA?
JMK ,   NYC   (05.02.11)
They think we are so stupid. Where is any evidence? How do we know they are not lying?, how could we prove anything?, they could do anything and we could not say anything to the contrary with any evidence. I think Bin Laden himself is a myth, no life, no body.
3. This was a kill operation
nedal   (05.02.11)
they didn't want bin Laden to champian his cause in the public arena ....trying him would have brought years of attention to his cause.
4. #1
J K ,   NYC, USA   (05.02.11)
Hollywood has conditioned us to dramatic endings and drawn our suffering. Sometimes, it's too bad reality isn't the same, but I can deal with any reality where Bin Laden isn't among the living.

Wondering   (05.02.11)
small correction Specifially the u.s. special forces were The Elite Navy Seals. The only unit to hold a chandle to the IDF. Mozel Tov to the Commanding Officer, you will recieve another bar to your shoulder.
6. Sorry, something smells fishy.
Chaim ,   Arad   (05.02.11)
Why now when obama is at the bottom of ratings? People want him out. Economy is a mess. I want to believe this about osama but this government is packed so full of lies it is hard to hear the truth when it is there. Rest assured, there is another standing in the shadows waiting to take his place, and has already.
7. Special thanks to the navy guy that put pork chops in the
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.02.11)
body bag before he was put in the sea.
8. 5 - The only unit to hold a chandle to the IDF.
split ,   US   (05.02.11)
You haven't see a real soldier or real armed forces. So far what you have fought it was a bunch o unarmed civilians or an uneducated sheep herders in uniforms equipped with Soviet hardware designated for scrap ,...
9. Chucked his body overboard, did they?
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.02.11)
Well now he's gotta be shark chum. Those aircraft carriers have mighty big propellers. I hope they got lots of info on those hard disks...would have been better to keep this operation quiet for a week to ''round up'' more of the Al Qaeda command.
10. No Reason for the US military to be in Afghanistan
David ,   Los Angeles   (05.02.11)
11. ***Sarah***at 1, I very much hope, that
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.02.11)
at least the fish like him...lol
12. #8 Have You Been Haze Grey
Wondering   (05.02.11)
and Underway, as I have? Have You been with the U.S. Marines as I Have. Do You Know Any Navy Seals as I do? Just Wondering?
13. Why the rituals
(05.02.11)
14. Did Allah abandon bin-Laden
Dan ,   Florida, USA   (05.02.11)
Where was Allah to protect bin-Laden? Maybe Allah is not so "great" after all.
15. Why the rituals?
(05.02.11)
I thought he didn't represent Muslims.? That he was a freak,who mis-interpreted Islam? If true,he should be denied any religious courtesy but it's not true, is it? He's a hero to the ski-masked jihad animals. Where's his buddy sheik omar and the sick doctor zawahiri? They're next.
16. Lived like dog and died like a dog.May his soul rot in Hell!
(05.02.11)
17. DNA test cannot be done in less then 24 hours.
naro ,   nyc   (05.02.11)
There is no way they could have done DNA in he time between the killing and he announcement. I believe that it was an election theater by the Obama regime, and that Bin Laden was not the one who was killed. Let's see the photos.
18. A hardly a victory ,...
split ,   US   (05.02.11)
The men is dead but his spirit is alive among Muslims so alive that to prevent a pilgrimages to his grave they dumped him somewhere like a mobster with a "concrete shoes" on. Look at us, we have become a police State entangled in 2 wars, we're broke, over a trillion of dollars in a rat hole, 5700 dead soldiers over 30 000 handicapped, tens of thousands of marriages destroyed not to mention 2 countries in a rubble with a millions of dead and displaced for what for one half a dead men just to prove the point that we don't forget ? ,... A missing detail that crossed my mind. $ 50 million reward on his head for almost 10 years and not one snitch to claim the prize ,...
19. #17; naro, FALSE
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (05.02.11)
I watched one of the preeminent pathologist in the country on the news this morning, he stated quite clearly that with certain state of the art equipment you could do a DNA test in well under 24 hours. But also they had fingerprints, dental records, facial measurements among other techniques to identify UBL. For some there will be no convincing, so I'll ask the same question: What would it take to convince all the conspiracy theorists and doubters out there? I mean that in all seriousness, what would it take to convince you? I suspect Nothing would.
20. buried at sea with a qoran stuffed up his arse
Leb   (05.02.11)
a fitting end
21.  “So does this mean I can keep my shoes on at the airport?
pilot   (05.02.11)
22. Israel can learn...
Jack Black ,   Atlanta   (05.02.11)
Yes, Israel can learn from the heroic US special forces. Kill, do not take prisoners!
23. #19 Why Are You Wasting Your Time
Wondering   (05.02.11)
with these doubting Thomas's? Just Wondering?
24. news for you #17
Mark ,   usa   (05.02.11)
Yes, dna testing can be done in as little as a hour, just apply the doctine of getting there the fastest with the mostest to its logical conclusion. It is not like his dna had to follow a chain of custody to some forensic lab and sit in a que waiting its turn, it just takes a swab of the gums and cheeks, wipe it on a medium slide, have a dna test machine apply some voltage, take a photo of results, email an attachment and have an expert read and compare results. Two and half hours tops. What you think the dod and fbi don't have a portable dna lab at bertram air base, you think billions of dod expendures, didn't mission plan this down to the last detail. While, we're at it, I wouldn't be surprised if the cia got his manhood sitting in a jar of formeldehyde in some trophy case by now. I guess them 72 virgins are going to be so SOOL.
25. #19 DNA not possible. It is a hoax
dio ,   nyc   (05.02.11)
8.30PM EST Obama got the message that the operation is done. about 4 hours later he went before the public. There is no theoretical way to do a DNA test- in Pakistan no less- in that amount of time. Islamic law does not permit burial at sea, so that the 24 hours requirement was bogus. No photo of the corpse presented. I am convinced that it is a hoax designed to boost Obama's sagging ratings.
26. I HOPE OSAMA WAS WRAP WITH PORK SKINS!!
GLENN ,   YUCAIPA,USA   (05.02.11)
27. #23; Wondering, CURIOSITY
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (05.03.11)
I've asked this same question a couple of times. Like you, I was just Wondering? They always are so negative and bizarre, so I just ask if there is anything at ALL, that would convince them? Don't you sometimes want to understand how they think? Plus I must admit, I think any response would reveal their nutty ideas. Which I guess is why nobody has ever...so far...attempted to answer, what I think is a simple question.
28. # 1 SARAH,I AGREE,BUT HOPE
GLENN ,   YUCAIPA,USA   (05.03.11)
29. DNA Positive Proof
froike ,   NYC   (05.03.11)
They matched the corpse's DNA to the Semen samples collected from the Goats and Sheep near his compound...They were a positive match!
30. CIA-Think Green-don't pollute!
Jack Hoffman ,   Brooklyn NY US   (05.03.11)
They tossed the body into the Ocean because they didn't want to create a martyr's grave on land. Unfortunately, there is enough Shiite being dumped into the Oceans already!
