#2 is moot. I'm about as certain as certain can be (and any sane person should be as well) that 1 and 3 can be ruled out because of a simple reductio ad absurdum. Let's assume that Bin Laden is alive. We now have to believe that the president went before the whole world on Sunday night and announced his death - here's the thing - knowing that if Bin Laden releases a videotape mentioning specifics about the attack, or a similar audio recording, or even a picture of himself holding a post-attack copy of the New York Times, it would make him the biggest buffoon in history and end any chance he had of getting re-elected next year, and would hand al Qaeda the biggest propaganda coup in the history of the world. At an absolute minimum, one thing's for sure-as-shit certain: if anyone believes Bin Laden is dead, Obama does.

#2 moot...well there were rumors of his death multiple times over the years. He could have died of a heart attack 3 weeks ago, and still be dead; however, dear leader does not come off as a hero or the patriot responsible for the death of the arch enemy of the US like he is now...

You have a right to your opinion about the absurd, but I trust IF verified and so far, seeing pics of administration looking concerned at some unseen screen, tweets from some Pakistani bystander, pics of a compound, or information on a Seal Team is not enough from this bunch. If they are going to release photos of the assault, osama, or the burial, they sure are taking their dear sweet time.

We live in an age of pictures...I find it interesting that the lap dog media on this occasion requires none.

Sorry, if Bush claimed he got Osama, I would be a lot more accepting of the President’s word, but this administration has given me no reason to ever believe they are telling the truth, ever!!! So why should I believe them sans proof now?
