A major question lingers unanswered at the center of this story: Why was bin Laden killed? Michael Scherer has reported that the Navy Seals who landed at Osama bin Ladens safehouse were not given orders specifically to kill, but were on a kill or capture mission. That implies they were prepared to accept bin Ladens surrender. It didnt work out that way. But despite earlier reports to the contrary, including from White House counter-terror adviser John Brennan, Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters Tuesday that bin Laden was in fact unarmed. (Resistance does not require a firearm, he said.) So, what happened?

“the story stinks”
An eye witness acct. from a WSJ reporter on site-
“One of the awnings on an outdoor window hung down at an angle, perhaps after being damaged during the attack. Otherwise, the house stood intact, with few signs a major firefight only two days earlier.”
Photos of inside of house show no damage.
OBL 12 yr old daughter claims he was taken into custody within a few minutes of raid start and killed later.
Ultimatley, I don’t care about the raid. I’m starting to think the raiders may have been tools. Like Mongo, just pawns in game of life.
The important parts of the story stink like roadkill skunk.
Does anybody really believe the OBL live in a large house in the suburbs of the capital of Paki right next to the Paki military acad. for 6 years? With no guards? Without changing his appearance? Really? If you buy that then you know he had permission, and not just from the Pakis...
Hillary said a year ago that she had no doubt that hi ranking Pakis knew OBL’s hide out. Hmm
Christiana Amapour in 2008 on the Bill Maher show said she KNEW that OBL was not in a cave, but in a luxury villa in Paki... But we’re supposed to believe our CIA/NSA/mil had no idea? WTF?
Reid and Boehner both rushed to a mic to proclaim that we should keep giving money to Paki... Don’t want piss them off and spill any beans.
I want to know how he got from a cave in Tora Bora to the point of living in comfort in the burbs in Paki? That’s the big huge gigantic titanic nuclear story.
Think about it.
It has been written both ways since he was on the radar. At that, the FBI’s most wanted list had him listed as Usama. Not everything is a conspiracy just because you don’t understand it or haven’t paid enough attention to notice it before.
Uhhhhhh....no.
Osama bin laden- 54 million hits
Usama bin laden - 300K hits
I dont know what you are selling but you are playing games.
I'm not the one trying to push probably the stupidest and embarrassing conspiracy theory I've read. You kind of made my point with your search results. Even though the phonetic spelling Osama is more popular, your results show spelling it Usama is no conspiracy by the left to make it different than Obama's name. I repeat, they are both correct. You are sharing conspiracy theories with the nutty left:

But just to put this to rest, as I see you don't want to go out and research it yourself instead you want to just cling to your conspiracy theory, he are a couple of references.

Now can you please quit giving fodder for the left to call us stupid.
I never said there was a conspiracy you fool. I said that the left in the press has started to use a different spelling of Osama’s name.
Obama owns this. He can put all of the Military on trial and Obama will still own this. He can stamp his feet, pout, whine, bite his lip, scratch his cheek with his middle finger, and then make his accusations “perfectly clear”, but Obama will still own this.
He will not get a big bounce from this because of the mean, nasty, vindictive, uninformed, disingenuous nonsense that spouted from his and his political hypocritical hacks/allies. People remember how disgusting the left was during the Bush years.
I will not forget and not forgive. Their lies, their hate, their uninformed positions weakened this country.
Why was he shot?
Some people just need killing. Cringe if you like, but it’s true.
Has someone rescinded Fords Executive Order???
And lets not forget the UN Charter.
That has nothing to do with Bin Laden. The Executive order is for Foreign Heads-of-State of which Osama bin Laden was not. He was just another ugly thug that found himself way beyond his Karma curve.
His summary execution, even if that is what it was, was legal according to our laws. And no Conservative would or should ever expect our perfect American Sovereignty, which comes from The Creator, to kowtow to the United Nations.
Also, it is after all, an Executive Order and Obama is the Executive. He has the ability to rescind it without our input as he may feel the need. Congress has even tried to override it with the Terror Legislation a few years ago, so I feel sure if he wanted to take out Ahmadinejad, Obama would not get in much trouble with so much water under the bridge already. That specific EO doesn't appear to have the power it once had when people still believed that Allende was killed by the CIA
