Went home for lunch and saw the broadcasts, while I am glad Bin Laden has been terminated, I dont think there is much value in keep broadcasting the 'celebrations' outside the whitehouse like it was some 'world cup' win. It would only antogonise the next loosehead to start reacting in retaliation.
I hope this goes some way to relieve the pain of those who lost loved ones in the collective acts of terror.
Absolute joke Greg. If it all happened as stated, then they have the evidence as is required by military law and current SOPs in this conflict. The raid took place on Sunday and then his body was disposed of when? Like, lunch time today at the latest? If so, there was at least a 12 hr period for photos to be taken.At the risk of contributing to a conspiracy theory; he was found, shot and buried all within 24 hours? That's very convenient, isn't it? .
Wow my Son just arrived in Pakistan today!!
He isn't too impressed with the media at the airport, apparently going through customs is a nightmare now.
But he was so excited to meet a childhood hero at the airport during the wait. Apparently Chuck Norris is just returning from a holiday there.

SOP for EKIA ...
Standard Operating Procedure, Enemy Killed In Action.Hi Kennas,
I googled this and found it has less idea than I do!!
Thanks Kennas,Standard Operating Procedure, Enemy Killed In Action.
Heard a whisper he has already been buried at sea?? Sounds a bit suss

As for checking his DNA; what DNA are they checking? They couldn't find him for the last 10 years let alone get his DNA for comparisson.
Glad I'm not alone in regarding this announcement with a large dose of scepticism.Absolute joke Greg. If it all happened as stated, then they have the evidence as is required by military law and current SOPs in this conflict. The raid took place on Sunday and then his body was disposed of when?

If they don't produce any, this will be a massive credibility problem for the US.
And, agree with the World Cup crowd comments. Crowd/Herd mentality at it's best.
Agree entirely. The world was probably a safer place yesterday than it is today.Obama is enjoying being at the centre of the celebrations and taking the credit. However it is a symbolic gesture only and changes nothing. Bin Laden has not been involved in the al Qaeda chain of command for some years.
For the terrorism growth industry, he probably is of more worth to them as a martyr. The recruitment of suicide bombers will step up, especially with impressionable children.
thinking exactly as you: it was so easy to do and they did not made a show of his body;Until I see a photo of the body, I am skeptical.
SOP for EKIA in this war is to take a photo of them dead.
Dumping the body at sea looks like a good way of avoiding public scrutiny.
Where is the photo?
No conspiracy theory here, just proof of death required.
The 'official' descriptions of his 'hideout' are quite troubling, as you guys have stated.
It seems like a castle was erected over the past 10 years in the middle of a poor village and no-one thought anything of it. Even with a $50m reward.
Even CNN has raised the conspiracy theory speak.
CNN just played some video 'proof' that was about 10sec long and showed a bedroom with some blood stained sheets....
CNN, are you serious???
US seems now to be relying on DNA samples of what?
Something at the bottom of the sea?
LOL

Are you sure he's a nut?The only other thing I could think of why the haven't released the photo/video yet is to trap Trump into looking like a fringe nut, well more of a fringe nut anyway.
Zackly. Where would they have got the original DNA of Osama from anyway so it could be the comparison for that obtained from the freshly killed Osama?US seems now to be relying on DNA samples of what?

Seem to be a lot of questions.
