WASHINGTON (AFP) – Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is dead, and President Barack Obama will announce his death, nearly 10 years after the September 11 attacks in a televised address, a senior US official told AFP.

The official said on condition of anonymity that Bin Laden was dead, but did not provide details of how his death occurred.

Obama was imminently to address Americans in a highly unusual Sunday night appearance on television.

Forgot to say, we can refuse to comply.
Oh, no worries there. I rarely comply to anything.

Celebrate tonight and back on Obama’s azz in the mornin’.
Woo hoo, he's dead. Good riddance.
There, I'm done. Who needs to wait until the morning?

Cheap political theater by Obama it took place ten days ago

The Donald Trump effect, no doubt. Obama is getting off his butt and acting presidential in reaction to Trump's attacks... Interesting.

Here's what I suspect happened . . .

1. Osama bin Laden's body is found by U.S. military personnel. For the sake of this discussion, it really doesn't matter when this took place -- or even if there was any military involvement in his death. For all we know, this could have happened months ago.

2. The White House is sitting on this news for days, weeks or even months. They plan to release it when it will carry the most weight from a political standpoint. Obama records a formal "live announcement" of Osama bin Laden's death.

3. Something happens in the last day or so that causes this to leak into the public domain.

4. The White House scrambles to figure out where Barry Soetoro is tonight, and to get him back to the White House because they can't air his "live" address while he is still out in a place where he can be seen (this explains the lengthy delay in having him do the "live" address tonight).

5. The White House airs Obama's "live" address -- not realizing that it was pre-recorded and Obama actually says Osama bin Laden was killed "today" even though every media story indicates that the U.S. spent a week doing DNA tests on his remains.

Sound like a plausible scenario?

Obama just read a week old speech! Twice in the speech he said TODAY we killed Osama.Did anyone else catch that>? Why didn’t the Bret Baier, Greta and Geraldo call him out on that?

See #84 for a possible scenario. This administration is so amateurish that it’s getting comical.

How did we kill Osama Bin Laden a week ago, when Obama just said today at this direction he was killed. He said it was today twice. The moron is reading a week old speech, and noone changed the words for him. He read it exactly how it was written. BEFORE they got DNA etc.

Either that or whoever reported it was a week ago was wrong. Guardian still reporting it was a bomb, and a week ago.

Fox, says now, was authorized on April 29, with final approval today by Obama.

It will sort out.

Somewhere, out there, Tom Daschle is deeply saddened.

They killed him a week ago. Obama taped this message then. His people decided it would be a great time to put out the bad birth certificate, knowing that it would be off the radar in a few days once Obama releases the Bin Laden kill. All planned...

Where's the death certificate?

That's what I'm axing. Now that the birther movement has been buried, let us start a deather movement!

Good point, but I’m more inclined to believe a foreign news source than anything I read or hear in the U.S.
