The United States military is claiming that they have killed the world’s top terrorist in Abbottabad, Pakistan. This news has been met with much skepticism, however, as it is widely believed that the real Osama bin Laden died in December 2001.
After decades of frivolously meandering around the Middle East in a “hunt” for Osama bin Laden, the United States military claims to have killed the world’s most wanted fugitive inside a million-dollar compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan yesterday. There have been no pictures released yet and bin Laden’s body was reportedly “buried at sea”. Was that the real Osama bin Laden, or is this a fabricated news story being used to create a pretext for military action against Pakistan?
In early December 2001, the Pakistan Observer reported on bin Laden’s death – due to untreated health problems – citing al-Qaeda and Taliban officials who claimed to have attended the funeral service. “The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Osama alive or dead,” a source said at the time. Bin Laden was allegedly buried in the vicinity of Tora Bora, along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. In a July 2002 New York Times opinion piece, Amir Taheri wrote:
Osama bin Laden is dead. The news first came from sources in Afghanistan and Pakistan almost six months ago: the fugitive died in December and was buried in the mountains of southeast Afghanistan. Pakistan’s president, Pervez Musharraf, echoed the information. The remnants of Osama’s gang, however, have mostly stayed silent, either to keep Osama’s ghost alive or because they have no means of communication.
With an ego the size of Mount Everest, Osama bin Laden would not have remained silent for so long if he were still alive.

As a 24 yr military man...I am all about taking orders...but I doubt...VERY SERIOUSLY...the members of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (Formerly known as Seal Team 6) would allow themselves to be used (read: WHORED) in such a manner. I believe they have a lot more integrity than that.
If they did not kill him yesterday...one of those guys will get word to someone...and quick.
Rumor was he may have changed his appearance....or as you say.....looked awful. Either way, it kept people guessing. Even at 6 1/2 feet....the myth was bigger than the man.
LOL...made me think of this (not true, I know ;-))

What is a “fair witness”?
Indeed, it was...

It's been decades since reading that book, so time may have edited that explanation.

I agree with this article. If Obama can fake a birth certificate to boost his poll numbers, then killing a dead man’s ISI-employed double is an even easier way to do the same thing.
I do recall Limbaugh on several occassions saying that Bin Laden was dead(assumed room temperature as he put it) and he said he that on good authority.
Thank you for explaining.
