What do you expect from followers of an ideology that believe tricking mentally challenged woman and 10 year old boys to become suicide bombers is justified and supported by their God.
Whether or not Osamas death is a conspiracy............THE WAR IS NOT OVER AND THERE ARE STILL THOUSANDS OF TERRORISTS OUT THERE. THE JOB IS NOT COMPLETELY DONE AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE DONE. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TERRORISTS OUT THERE.
from zero hedge:
Ok... so let me see if I got this right: your president/nobel peace prize winner/savior of human kind ask some super spy to come up with a plan in 30 days to catch the uber bad guy that is supposed to be (without trial or proof) the mastermind of 9/11, said super spy after 2 useless wars, trilions of tax payers dollars, hundred of thousands of dead soldiers and civilians come up with solid a plan and put it in motion: a team GI joes takes on Cobra command center, lose an helicopter, blow it up themselves, *bullet time*, *fast forward* and shot Uber bad guy in the face hollywood style, jump on a back up chopper with a summersault while carrying the stiff on his shoulder, sampled his DNA on the way home, confimed it was said uber bad guy in a matter of seconds, and respectfully "buried" him so deep into an undisclosed location that even Allah is looking at a map right now trying to pinpoint the location and we are supposed to believe all that at face value.
I can't wait for the sequel.
why no autopsy? you want us to believe, show the damn video.
it's the only way to shut us up.
you just can't tell us that an operation like this, after all this billions spent and all the lives lost, wasn't filmed and expect us to believe it.
Yes, they will have to show proof.

I, personally, am glad that it happened.
Again, if not for double standards, the left would have none.
Now, now, you have to remember, the anti-war Left, who used to be against unilateral military action on a sovereign nation (re; Libya, Pakistan), without the approval of congress...have had an epiphany just recently. There is a (D) behind the president's name.

The notion that George W. Bush deserves one iota of "credit" for locating, verifying, training, then completing the mission of actually getting Osama bin Laden is ridiculous.
You keep on missing the "news" that the intelligence gleaned about these couriers came from 2007, during Bush's time, came from those enhanced interrogation techniques the Left and obama railed against...remember?
Bus laid the foundation for obama. Without those programs in place, programs the Left wanted to do away with and send Bush to prison for, the death of OBL would not have been possible.
You should thank the one who allowed this to happen.
Absolutely spot-on. The Bush family has long-standing love for the Saudi "Royal Family," and they have close ties to the bin Laden construction empire. President Obama took a page from the Israeli book and got the job done quickly and cleanly...no villages destroyed, no soldiers killed. Kudos!
I just wondering...have you missed the last TWO years of all those drone strikes by obama? Drone strikes that set a record in the number of Afghanistan and Pakistani civilians killed?
American intelligence officials said Sunday night that they finally learned the courier’s real name four years ago, but that it took another two years for them to learn the general region where he operated.
Now, you remember Gitmo, don't you? The detainee facility the Left/obama wanted to close? You remember those enhanced interrogations don't you?
You keep on missing the "news" that the intelligence gleaned about these couriers came from 2007, during Bush's time, came from those enhanced interrogation techniques the Left and obama railed against...remember?
that one will be particularly painful for the libs to acknowledge.

Officials say CIA interrogators in secret overseas prisons developed the first strands of information that ultimately led to the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Current and former U.S. officials say that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, provided the nom de guerre of one of bin Laden’s most trusted aides. The CIA got similar information from Mohammed’s successor, Abu Faraj al-Libi. Both were subjected to harsh interrogation tactics inside CIA prisons in Poland and Romania.
