Who really killed bin Laden?
CNN ^

Posted on 03/27/2013 6:19:01 AM PDT by Perdogg

In February, Esquire magazine published a lengthy profile of "The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden." The story did not identify the killer by his real name, referring to him only as "the Shooter."

The Shooter told Esquire that the night bin Laden was killed he had encountered al Qaeda's leader face-to-face in the top-floor bedroom of the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where bin Laden had been hiding for more than five years.

The Shooter explained that when he found bin Laden in his bedroom the al Qaeda leader was standing up and had a gun "within reach" and it was only then that the Shooter fired the two shots into bin Laden's forehead that killed him. That account was in conflict with the account from another raid participant in a wildly successful book "No Easy Day."

We all know ObaMao personally shot Bin Laden. Didn't he say so during last year's reelection campaign?

And we know he would never lie to us, don't we?

Does it really matter if we know or not?

I thought it was Joe Biden with a shotgun blast through the door.

In my opinion, I think that the OBL killed in the raid was a body double. The whole burial at sea is ridiculous.

No surprize that the Obozo media lackeys have allowed what was a great triumph for the US to become a farce.

We could say the same thing about the Constitution.

jersey117, I'm with you. If the killing of OBL was a Hollywood storyline... I'd walk out of the movie. OH! WAIT! It is a Hollywood movie. Think about the capture of Saddam Hussein. Video? Personal accounts of the event? TONS! All readily available. OBL??? They might as well have told us they moved the body to Area 51. I know this has been covered ad nauseum here and elsewhere. And, I hate conspiracy theories. But, the killing of OBL story stinks [PERIOD].

Seems a bunch of people are trying to claim credit. The confusion and glory seeking would not have taken place under a competent president.

Amen to that - I recall reading a story about Benazir Bhutto who stated unequivocally that OBL died early on in the [latest] Afghan war, and then she was assassinated shortly thereafter.

The 'tell' was when the media insisted that burial at sea is a common Muslim custom.

I don’t really dwell on it. That’s just how I feel. If it was President Bush and the circumstances were exactly the same, you know the media would have demanded proof. I don’t like getting into discussions with family and friends about it because they are quick to write you off as a conspiracy theorist — which I’m not.
