Time will tell.

Yep. Once you get into propaganda and counter propaganda and psyops- it's almost impossible to tell what's really going on or what the intent is. But as you say, time will tell.

There are so many alternative explanations that I just can't get too excited about this. I hope I'm wrong. I'd like to see the man captured.

That said, perverted mind that I have, I would probably get more pleasure out of the democrat and libertarian response.

I can just see a deeply saddened Tom Dashcle responding to this news.

Or, John Keery saying this means we sould have been pursueing non-military, law-enforcement options all along.

Or, the trial lawyer dominated democrat party trying to justify not executing Bin Ladin.

Or, perhaps, best of all, Harry Browne claiming this proves we should have offered a reward for his capture and private industry would have spent the billions necessary to conduct such an operation.
