What sample of Osama Ben Laden was there BEFORE he got killed ? Comparing it with a living family member does not mean he died. I think it is nothing more than an Obama booster cocky tale.

From reading these talkbacks, I guess people are all too eager to swallow anything and everything that will quench their thirst. I have been with you on this since the announcement. I sincerely hope to be wrong and that this story is not another Lion King Disney story.

If the Pork Chops in the body bag doesn't draw the fish, nothing will. maybe the body bag will fill up with Air and he'll float to the surface to scare the Hell out of us!

Wouldn't you think the Seals would be too busy to stop and take photo's. I hope they did... and maybe they did. drink Tea and wait patiently!

First it is permissible for Muslims to be buried at sea...if that is the only way it can be done within the mandatory 24 hour period...but it IS the last acceptable way on the list. Frankly, I didn't care, nor should the USA have cared, if that was done or not. I'll never understand why anybody would or should care about upsetting Muslim sensibilities. Especially when they could care less about any other peoples religious feelings. I just don't get it? I don't know whether your time-line is correct as well? I haven't seen the whole thing laid out in chronological order. So I'll reserve my opinion on that, until I see more. But my understanding was the mission started at about 3pm EST and the mission took 40 minutes. So there is almost 5 extra hours you missed right there. So I need more info with those kinds of discrepancies.

Who says they didn't wait a week, or more. It is not like obl was living a high profile life, he was on the lam, it is not like he was checking in with moma nightly. Second thing pakistan is rather quite on this raid, usually the ins and pakistan are quick to make their displeasure known. However about a two months ago, the paks where fit to be tied, over something, the davis affair could have been a smokescreen for our motorboating in their pool to get obl.

you expect people to believe he's dead without anything more than claims from a failing president? weren't you the same group of ppl screaming about bush and the cia falsifying intel about wmds for 8 years to get us into iraq? that the govt lied has come to be accepted as the gospel truth. but you silly little shills will swallow anything a democratic administration will feed you uncritically? is that the kind of country we're living in now? :) to clown #19: what would satisfy me: how about some pictures of him dead to start with, or a video of the operation? the reports are that they came face to face with him, the whole operation was videoed and live-fed to obama, secdef, hillary, and the whole roundtable; they have pictures of them watching it in the whitehouse situation room on abc.com and another ynet story, captivated, but no pictures of the video or of osama himself. you better have at least a modicum of evidence of him being killed before you have the audacity to call anyone a conspiracy theorist you silly little democratic shill. or have you forgotten the 8 years of accusations of falsified intel about wmds that this very president partook in?

The pictures of the dead Osama show the same face of a Reuter picture 10 years ago.So they want us to believe that he just died yesterday.The DNA is from 9 years ago .HOAX, again an american HOAX They had to find an excuse to get out afghanistan because it was leading them to bankruptcy .Ben Ladden suppositely alive was profitable for the industry of terror , the past 9 years but not anymore.

In the Somali Pirate incident, Obama wanted to send in his poster boy FBI but they did not have the logistics capabilities to get to the site in less than 24 hours. They Navy had their specially trained Seals along with all of the required support assets such as airplanes, boats, etc. Furthermore the Seals were trained for shooting the head on a quarter from 75 yards while standing on a boat in pitching waves. They train until this is an art form. The first of 4 sharpshooting Seal took out the windshield of the boat and in less than a second 3 more sharpshooters each took out their respective targets. The FBI would have totally screwed up the operation. Fortunately Obama go a real lesson and sent in the professionals instead of the bungling FBI.

Since they. knew his. Whereabouts long before why conduct this operation? Because to boost the diminishing popularity of Hussein B.O. Only the naif people. of U.S.can believe to this amateurish. tale !!!

... from the same people who told us they were sure for 99.9% Saddam had WMD? LOL!!!

Good to hear you thanking and honoring US military forces for a change.

A fittin end, that was rich, one could say a fittin end was (pardon the pun) a palatial double-entendre. one could say he was full of shite in life, might as well be in death. Or better yet, omg it fits, as it should, he just got f'ed.

feeding frenzy for the sharks

there is only one or two verses to recite in time of illness, but there are hundred verses to recite on revenge.

Feel better, your buddy is still alive. Happy now, Youssef, Now if that makes you sleep better I'm good with that, see yea sucker. I'm sure you'll be hearing a tape from him soon.

feel better to think he is alive. If you are interested, I think he has been dead since around December 2001.

Looks to me like he lived like a pig.
