Were it possible for Hussein to convince a dozen Navy seals to LIE on his behalf, I would call it quite possible that this was a phony story. But as the military hate Hussein almost as much as most other actual Americans, my guess is bin Laden really WAS killed on Sunday night.
I'm late tuning in here, we had a little blizzard which knocked out power up here to a 6000 square mile area for a couple of days and I've been news starved.
What Navy SEALs have shown up on the news? It'd be pretty unusual for those guys to get their face somewhere before retirement, especially if they're involved in counterterrorism or an operation against such a high profile target.
My BS meter is pegged, simply because the timing couldn't have been better to make Obama look good, even though he didn't have much to do with anything, Petraeus just got the tap for DCI at CIA, and Panetta is off to the Pentagon, so there is a lot going on at once and this suddenly happens.
Add to it the body getting dumped somewhere instead of recovered, and there's plenty of reason to doubt the veracity of anything Obama says.
Better watch what the other hand is doing, because he's trying to wave a well polished brass ring in this one.
