I'm hearing that now, too. I think they originally assumed it was unmanned drones because ground forces aren't allowed to operate in Pakistan. I don't think they know exactly what is going on right now. That's probably why Obama is delaying-- I think they know he's dead, they just don't really want to send the prez out to speak to the country with unclear or the wrong specifics... kinda important.

I think he could just come out and say, "He's dead!" right now but obviously he can't just leave it at that lol so he's probably taking a few minutes to get the rest of the info.

My guess is that the administration isn't suffering from the mixed reports that are getting out to the media.
