POST HERE For Discussion About The DEATH OF OSAMA BIN LADEN (Updated)

From what i can gather reading various articles is that his dna has been confirmed, but they will not release the evidence for a few days. It also states he was first identified by facial recognition.

I'm watching the bbc news and it's saying the same thing, after identification he was buried, because they had to bury him within 24 hours in accordance to islamic law which they had to follow through the geneva convention.

That second part of the sentence is where we have issues. Especially when people drastically under-educated in military operations, rules of engagement and combat experience second guess actions that they can't possibly know about.

It is nothing short of incredibly churlish to assume that the forces went out there purely to kill, rather than attempt capture.

If people think the President of the US will go on TV and make an announcement that somebody is dead without being 100% sure, then they are very stupid

At this exact moment there are 5000 people in Hollywood wearing out their keyboards to get their first draft done before midday.

I estimate it'll be done in time for a September 11th release.

His compound sounds like one hell of a place. Though it does seem surprising that suspicions hadn't been raised by anyone earlier, since it's a huge complex in a colonial suburb not far from Islamabad (which happens to be where the Pakistani military's largest base is situated).

Of course, it won't make any positive impact in the fight against terrorism, but it's a symbolic strike. It's also interesting that the Pakistani government was told nothing of the operation in advance, but given its gravity and the necessary security that's understandable.

Didn't they just throw him into the sea?

Sea burial is in accordance with some Islamic traditions, one being if you are fearful that the corpse might be dug up, or made into a shrine, as may have happened with bin Laden's body. They offered it to Saudi Arabia, his country of birth, but they wouldn't take it, I mean, it would be difficult to find a country which would allow him to be buried there. In terms of no pictures; firstly, how do you know they didn't, secondly, maybe they do, but perhaps think that it isn't entirely proper to broadcast them within literally hours of his death.

Again, I don't understand the mentality, you haven't seen any pictures, so the first thing you jump to is that this is some kind of elaborate conspiracy. I'll ask again: for what purpose?

Bin Laden living in a pakistani military compound for 8 months

Assuming the American government are anything other than stupid

The Geneva convention doesn't or shouldn't have applied to the most wanted terorist in the world.

When Micheal Jackson died, the news showed videos of his estate and as he was transported to the hospital, the news reporters followed the story showing the hospital and the crowd. Osama allegedly captured in a 'million-dollar three-story mansion with high security' after months of planning and there's not a single video to vouch for this nor a pic.

-No body
-No autopsy reports
-No detainees
-No pictures or videos
-No weapons detained

And a propaganda video from Obama stating how he has been a hero to the world.

People are so f'in retarded.

Cats always land on there feet MUST BE A CONSPIRACY.
