This crash is originally reported as a Pak helo that went down. It is actually one of the three helos used to insert the Seal Team that took out Bin Laden.

The photo chows an intact cabin and hopefully none were hurt. Cause was mechanical failure.

Osama Bin Laden was attacked and killed by ground units of the United States at 0130 Pak Standard Time (UTC+5), 2 May, 2011. That time corresponds to 1530 Eastern Time US, 1 May, 2011, today.

OBL was living at a private compound just outside Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. Abbottabad is a military cantonment, headquarters of a brigade in the Second Division of the Northern Army Corps.

Job well done.

Where is the death certificate?
Now that the birther movement is dead (no pun intended) I am starting the deather movement!

(Thanks for another thread on the subject, by the way. We need hundreds more!)

The CIA "intelligence officials" briefing of reporters tells us this total operation goes way back. Pre-Obama. It appears to have centered on a particular courier.

They got a big break several months ago when they found the mansion built in 2005, far larger than other homes, trash was burned daily and other things indicated it was build to hide a high value target.

A woman was killed, used as a human shield by OBL. Two other women shot. OBL was killed in a fire fight when we moved in. The operation took about 40 minutes.

One helicopter was lost due to mechanical problems.

I’m with you! Burial at sea is suspicious.

Show the body: photos, vids, transcripts, post-mortems, anything.

There’s no proof that it was a US helicopter while Paki media outlets claim it was theirs with the possibility of it having been shot down. By whom is another question??

Funny thing, OBL would choose to hide near a major Pakistani military institution.

And the Pakistani army knew nothing about it?????

I had actually heard about this mysterious crash before I heard of the op. Pak military contacts, very lit up over the crash. Sikandarabad area about 90 klicks east of Peshawar where we have some assets.

The helicopter info was part of the “intelligent officials” briefing to reporters.

The Paki army and their intelligence agency are a bunch of innocent angels.

How is there a big firefight at 3:30 EST
and they have the DNA test done by what time??? When did the notice go out that he would give a speech.

Someone on another thread said you could do a DNA test in 6 hours.

Where was the lab that did the test???

Seems just a little tight on the time.

Of course they knew about it! OBL was set up.

The Pakistan government is moving on, now; they’re cutting deals with the Chinese and want us out of their area.

I think the Pakis played Obama like a fiddle to get UBL, who was pretty much irrelevant by this time.

I’m glad he’s dead, but this didn’t come without a heavy cost.

Pakistan moved on a long time ago. China has been their main strategic partner before Obama was born.

Burial at sea?

Like Obamas grandmother?

I hear you can fake human ashes and bits to a certain degree, a little bit of portland cement, some charcoal.

I still doubt Obamas grandmother actually died, more like in deep hiding.

And yet obama is on TV taking credit for it as if he did the deed himself, and the DUmmies are lapping it up like a dog returned to its vomit.

All the anti-war, anti-troops, Bush is a traitor, bring them home now, liberal democrats are praising him for this.
