Question: Was I the only one who heard that UBL was killed last week at first? My guy & I were talking and we simultaneously said, "Holy Sh*t!" I hope they can get that DNA checked out VERY quickly!

I'm sure it was suspected last week, confirmed, and finally announced to the American public during the end of the Celebrity Apprentice episode.

It's a good strategic move. Imagine how huge his funeral would've been if it was done normally. It'll be a huge propoganda opportunity for Al-Qaeda.

I'm a little distrusting of the "We shot him and then buried him at sea" quote" too, you would have seriously thought that DNA tests would have been taken (surely it takes more than a few hours?) and photo's would have been released showing the world that it was definately bin laden and that he was definately dead.
Not that i'm being at all anti-usa/pro-terrorists, but really, i just want to see the proof.

"And then the man behind the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil died from an American bullet to his head."
From a FoxNews article. The most beautiful words I've read today.

I don't think so. No one important showed up to the funerals of other top Al Qaeda or Taliban officials killed by U.S. forces because they know we're watching. Al-Qaeda doesn't need a funeral to make a martyr out of Osama either.

I've been watching this unfold all night via the Internet ( both mainstream and alternative news sites) and the conspiracy theories started blowing up after it was announced his body was dumped into the ocean. Not surprising at all considering he was the most wanted man in the world and we dumped his body somewhere that could never be found only one hour after announcing we had the body in custody. I know It sounds barbaric but I think we should have paraded it around for at least a day or two.

And a lot of people are echoing your "need for proof".

Some interesting rumors that sprung up over the night.
- Osama was shot in the head at close range making some people suggest he pulled a Hitler and killed himself when special forces stormed his compound. Apparently he also had standing orders with his bodyguards that they were to kill him before allowing him to be captured by U.S. Forces

- Osama's been dead and in U.S. custody for months/years now and if the body was released it would have easily been noticed due to decomposition.

- It's all BS and he's still alive.

- The reason for the late night announcement was that a soldier who was part of the raid tweeted about the death of Osama Bin Laden, forcing Obama's speech last night.

NYTimes webpage has a lot of photos showing Greeks celebrating in front of the White House. I see Kappa Sigma, Phi Sigma Sigma and Alpha Phi letters.

Again, we should demand to see the long form death certificate. You are right. Serious concerns are serious.

The Today Show said today that they're working on it. They verified through inspection of the body and are doing the dna tests now. They'll probably release it all together if they release it.

I'm a little

about people giving actual credit for this to Obama. He happened to be dealt a royal flush, nothing was really of his own doing.

Either way, I'm also a little squicked out by people celebrating his death. Even my Pastor's wife was Facebooking about it. She was proud because apparently it was the Navy that took him out, and her.son is currently enrolled at Annapolis.

Also, my Pastor had coincidentally (or not so much when you consider the Holy Spirit) chosen yesterday for a sermon on the Revelation/end-times. Interesting stuff, especially when he taught on the Muslim version.

I know there is a little level of sarcasm with your post but I will give the President his due (even as I am a firm opponent of his policies). He made the correct decision and was in command of the groups who organized this. Way to go President Obama and his team!

On the DNA questions it is my understanding that they are performing tests and an autopsy may have been performed before burial. Also, I believe there will be pics leaking out eventually. He is definitely dead. For the President to come out on TV and make an announcement that was not verified would be political suicide.

As a great statesman once said "Boom! Winning!
