WASHINGTON – Helicopters descended out of darkness on the most important counterterrorism mission in U.S. history. It was an operation so secret, only a select few U.S. officials knew what was about to happen.

The location was a fortified compound in an affluent Pakistani town two hours outside Islamabad. The target was Osama bin Laden.

Obama gets credit here.

In most regards, he’s continued the Bush foreign policy.

Not sharing info with Pakistan was a smart move.

As they say in the military, do you really have a need to know?

so we know where he is
we go in on the lefts big holiday may day
we then ask him to give up but then shoot him in the head as there is no chance of him being alive
we then get the body and ditch it to honor his religion.
we then announce we have ditched the body but are waiting for DNA to confirm it was him and not a double

ARE YOU FRIGGING KIDDING ME

why not wait as he has been there for some time
find the number two
take them both out at the same time
shoot them and injure them
bring them back and question and let the world see
Even the cops take out the leadership in dawn raids ask the mafia.

this all stinks and the media are not doing their job AGAIN

That photo is a fake and has been floating around the web for some time. I do think he is dead though and the real photos will be release soon.

Buried at sea... He should have been dropped, live, from the height of the WTC.

I'm hoping he's alive and being waterboarded by the Mossad right now.

To me it appears that the shine on the tongue is exactly the same in both photos. How likely is that?

The outlines of the upper and lower lip and maxillary and mandibular incisors are identical.

Also...the outline of the nose and nostrils appear to be absolutely identical.

To get this exact match, the photographer would have to be at the same exactly angle in both photos and the lighting would need to be identical in order to get the same shine on the tongue.

Again....How likely is that?

Disagree, but I'm going to assume nothing will change your mind. So whatever.

Job well done Military!

I think it is odd that such an evil person would be given honorable Islamic (at Sea) burial rights according to the Qur’an. And also so quickly.

Peronally I think he was killed years ago,and this is released now to get the media off the royal wedding, and back shilling for the reident obama the chosen one.

I agree with you. Both sides needs to put politics aside for awhile and all the crazy conspiracy theories, and celebrate a great day in America.

If Obama gets a ratings boost - so be it. If this would have gone horribly wrong it could have just as easily gone the other way.

Given that Obama MUST know that he has credibility problems, it would have been in his best interests to alert at least one person on the right (and why not former Pres W.?) that something major was going down.

I’ve heard the body was burned and released to the sea, so it could not be retrieved.

You’ve got to be kidding me. The aren’t going to release a pic of the body like they said they were going to last night? We’re just supposed to believe he’s dead and dumped at sea IMMEDIATELY? What a bunch of crap. We are supposed to believe this from a Prez that is actively working to destroy our country? I don’t think so.

There’s another possibility implied there, considering the unusual “burial at sea”....
