never thought he'd be got
and thought if he did die the taliban would bury him and never be found so he'd always be a boogeyman of sorts

Me too.

Is Obama sending Bush a message? This is the 8th Anniversary of the "mission accomplished" statement. Seems like a slap in the face.

Still no details. Obama was scheduled to speak at 10:30.

At that time there were a lot of concerning posts online. For example, CNN had at the top of their site: President to Speak at 10:30 - Topic Unannounced." I have never seen anything like that.

Almost an hour later and still nothing.

So far only bits and pieces about a drone attack.
<edit>
Now confirmed as a raid and he was killed during a shoot out.

Further releases claiming a head shot.

Seriously??? Is everyone buying this?????/

Ok brief recap, Osama Bin Laden has been dead for years. This was and still is considered common knowledge in Pakistan. Actually just read this article.

And why do you buy your link? I think you'll find it isn't really common knowledge in Pakistan at all

The only real conspiracy is that Obama timed it as a smackdown to the wannabe Trump, hilariously the statement came right in the middle of his Celebrity Apprentice show.

pokerface_me

Delighted this Evil scumbag is dead, but not sure what to believe. If he was as sick as they say he was how did he survive this long, also if living in a large compound with his family, why wasn't there info on this long ago.

Just delighted he is dead.

I think they will be well aware that everybody, especially the Muslim world, will be slow to buy this without proof (DNA evidence, body etc) so I doubt they are doing it just for show.

The clash with 'The Apprentice' is hilarious though

By the way, why wouldn't you question the reliability of the sources cited on the InfoWars site? For example...

In February, 2004, Iranian state radio claimed Osama bin Laden had been captured in Pakistan’s border region with Afghanistan “a long time ago.” Pentagon and Pakistani officials denied the report. “Osama bin Laden has been arrested a long time ago, but Bush is intending to use it for propaganda maneuvering in the presidential election,” the radio report said.

...and, from Alex Jones himself:

“I have it from high level [sources] from inside the Bush administration…that bin Laden died of natural causes and that his family has given the body to the CIA, that they’re gonna roll him out right before the election, that he’s on ice right now. They will claim they killed him right before the election,” Alex said at the time.

Killed in A-BAD-A-BAD.

These story writers openly mock the masses.

Osama was whacked over 9 years ago.

I presume they got some decent proof that he's a gonner. It makes sense to bury him at sea so there will be no focal point for a shrine or whatever, but so soon?

Islamic tradition states that bodies have to be buried within 24 hours.

dubal

Makes sense too, no time for people to call for him to be buried this way and that way. Too late now.

Sky.com: Pakistani television stations earlier broadcast what they claimed was a photograph of the bloodied face of the world's most wanted man after he was killed, but this was later said to be a fake.

Unless they produce evidence that he was killed this is going to be another conspiracy theory ,buried at sea?

From Sky reporter, Twitter:OBL living 100 yds from Pak Army = doubtful US told Paks anything about the op. Burial at sea = conspiracy theory but easier than a shrine

No nation would accept his body, Saudi refused, would you want him buried in your country? cant imagine that everyone who would go to the grave would be there to put flowers on it.

no believing this one bit...no footage of his death. no evidence of a shoot out ..are we expected to believe the word of the US government?...obama's running for a second term in office soon,is he not. they'll n doubt roll out a wax model of Osama looking all dead n all.

Like the Americans have facilitated the burial within 24 hours of the 1.5 million that they've butchered in Iraq.

Dont believe the whole story
No film no pics and almost directly dumped in the sea
Will have a big laugh when a vid is turning up a couple weeks later with a statement that he is still alive and say it wasnt me who is killed in the house in pakistan

That's not evidence though. They would rarely release the footage of a covert op so quickly. You may be right to be suspicious, but I think it's a bit early.

Putting aside the figures here, it's not the same situation at all- you're not responsible for the bodies of enemy combatants. This was a mission where the aim was to kill/capture a single wanted individual.

If he is not dead then announcing that he is deeply stupid, all it would take is Osama to release a video saying hi I'm alive.

Why would a Republican administration allow a subsequent Democrat President to take the credit for this ?

Please provide evidence for your "common knowledge in Pakistan" assertion from a reputable news source.

You have it the wrong way round. The US changed the laws of war to suit themselves so the lines of who is and isn't an enemy combatant became blurred. Osama was an enemy combatant under these looser defintions but ordinary citizens that they slaughtered in Iraq certainly weren't.

It's not a question of whether he is dead or not but if he has just been killed by Obomber and flung into the sea.

jackiebaron

The whole thing is a complete farce. This guy was apparently killed in December of 2001 yet the Americans kept trotting out videos of him to ramp up the fear factor just like those cretinous colour-coded terror levels. What a crock. Obama has to start withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan this summer after their humiliating defeat there so this bogus Bin Laden pantomime will provide perfect cover for that defeat in that it will make the withdrawal appear to be a "Mission Accomplished" moment. And of course moronic Joe Public in the US will say "Woo-hoo!!! USA USA, See.....we won in Afghanistan!!"

Farce!

Fake pictures, buried at sea, election on the way, something smells fishy and it ain't Osama.
