Osama Bin Laden Dead *OFFICIAL*

  He is calling top congressional leaders and fielding calls from world leaders

  They said they were waiting for DNA testing to confirm his identity.
• Writerbuckeye

  

  If that really is him, he never looked better.
  
  How in the world did they keep this under wraps for a whole week? Usually someone leaks a story like this.
  
  If it's true that it was a special ops mission that got him, major kudos to those guys. Whoever took the kill shot should never have to buy another drink for the rest of his life.

  That picture looks like a photoshop deal if you look close enough.

  Yeah, this sucks. I wanted to go to sleep at a decent time.

  Well, this is a pretty dicey statement. If Bin Laden is killed in Pakistan by the CIA it's a very delicate matter. Pakistan now saying it was some sort of joint, highly clandestine operation (so that helps, which is good).

  They wanted to confirm DNA before announcing anything, so yes, you do.

  According to news radio, he was killed sometime last week in pakistan and was/will be buried at sea.

  Somebody else can call congressional leaders, and the other world leaders can wait, IMO.
  Obama owes allegiance to AMERICA first and foremost.
  
  Not trying to be too cynical or whatever here, just the truth as I see it.

  Buried at sea? how about buried in American's shit, piss and spit?
• Ty Webb

  

  Hearing reports that only 4 members of the US government knew about this until today
• Writerbuckeye

  

  Now they're saying it was a bomb that killed him. That would jive with the photo.

  Agreed, you don't call a super important press conference then make the American people (you know, the President's boss) then make them wait an hour

  Yeah, sure seemed like it. They were talking on one of the station that at some point you think pictures will be released as more of a closure/confirmation type thing. Saying that if you just hold up a vial of blood and say "this is him" it won't have nearly the same effect.

  Bury him in pig shit drenched with alcohol.

  Maybe a smart decision. You don't need a grave becoming some sort of radical shrine. On the other hand, it could have been almost like those sting operations they do where police set-up an illegal pawn shop for stolen goods.

  Is it on YouTube?? I turned it as soon as they announced it.

  I love it that we went into Pakistan with boots on the ground to not only kill but physically retrieve his body. Great day!

  Too many people will view that as a respectful pyre.

  While I understand the point, I don't agree with it or think it's particularly productive. We should be better than that. We aren't, but we should be. He's a dead terrorist. He doesn't deserve any such memorial, unintended or not.

  This story is on ESPN....
  
  WTF?
