Yes, Osama ...is dead. However, the President could not resist the urge to stretch ...the truth during his announcement. It's a shame really, that he chose to sour what could be his greatest accomplishment by adding an untruthful statement.
...President Obama told the nation late tonight that he made the capture or killing of Osama Bin Laden a "top priority" and instructed CIA Chief Leon Panetta to make this job number one. That's great! If only it were true.
Unfortunately this is another example of Obama's revisionist history. From the Official Obama Administration Scandals List...
Obama Flip Flopped on Capturing Osama Bin Laden January, 2009 - Politico: "During the presidential debates last year, Obama declared that capturing or killing Osama bin Laden “has to be our biggest national security priority.” In his first TV interview after winning the election, he said the terrorist leader was “not just a symbol. He’s also the operational leader of an organization that is planning attacks against U.S. targets,” and that the additional troops being sent to Afghanistan would hunt him down because “capturing or killing bin Laden is a critical aspect of stamping out Al Qaeda.” Bin Laden’s significance to Obama dissipated during the transition. By the time Obama gave another interview in early January, he said killing or capturing bin Laden was not necessary to “meet our goal of protecting America.” A few months later, when he announced his Afghanistan troop surge, he made no reference to the hunt for bin Laden.
Seems now that he got Bin Laden, he wants to go back to believing his own campaign talk.
It's not the first time Obama has gotten his facts about Osama wrong. He did it on December 1st, 2009 speaking at West Point... - READ THE REST HERE.

Greta said that bin Laden was killed a week ago. CNN is saying Ubama just approved the operation on Friday.
I’m guessing this is why the CENTCOM alert was raised this morning, why the dollar is rising and why silver fell.
They all got advance notice (and time to whip up a crowd in front of the white house)....AFTER the WHCD, after parties, and the big wedding was over...
Bush said the same thing. It wasn't necessary for Doolittle to Bomb Tokyo either but it was a morale victory and it marked a turning point. This is a good thing. I was in the infantry when OBL knocked the towers down. My life was changed because of it. I'm still changed from it. I couldn't be happier right now.
...I guess it all depends on how long it takes to do an accurate DNA test, and where the test is done, and how long
to get the material to the test site.
Anyone know how long it takes to get a positive DNA confirmation?
and time to whip up a crowd in front of the white house
That got my attention as well. They were all in their twenties, and I think responded through social networking, and obviously were not there spontaneously, especially carrying American flags. Show me a leftist that owns one.
Prez gets a threefer, all in one week BC release, photo op tornado aftermath, and bin laden, whata prez.
>They all got advance notice (and time to whip up a crowd in front of the white house).<
I thought that was a pretty big crowd on such short notice.
Bussed in by OFA?
Either way, how could he have been killed a week ago if Ubama only approved the operation on Friday?
Geraldo said on Fox that he was identified by familial DNA....now that sounds a bit to me like it could be anyone in the family. This is just too spooky to have this happen at the time of this mysterious presentation of the long awaiting birth certificate. Me thinks it stinks.
And whoever the Republican nominee turns out to be, he or she better be ready to point out that Ubama's philosophy on waging war against terrorism was to Mirandize terrorists and grant them legal representation according to the dicates of The U.S. Constitution.
In the end, it was President Bush's way of waging war against terrorism that brought "bin Laden to justice".
Come on give the guy a break. Didn’t you hear his speech? He caught Bin Laden on his own. He is probably tired.

You are right, all though the Messiah can do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, right? :-)
I don't doubt for a minute that Bammy would have preferred they capture him alive rather than kill him. He would have been mirandized as well and would have been assured a civil trial in New York, if Holder got his way. As it is being reported, Osama used a woman as a shield and she was killed right before they took him out. Some hero, huh?
This is why Panetta is out at CIA.

He used Bernanke's historic press conference to cover his non-birth certificate.
yitbos
He has authorized numerous drone attacks on Pokiston in which, as far as can be determined, none resulted in the death of bin Laden.
I have a feeling Obama was told this morning that UBL was killed last week, but then again I had strong feelings that UBL has been dead since 2003.
So is a third party at play here trying to control Obama?
To purposefully make him appear as the fake, the fool and the empty suit?
A party close to him that he has no control of that is deliberately supply an obvious fake BC?
And creating such a news event that UBL is dead, and then to use it to further embarrass the the Obamatron?
