Now it's time to play "What if Bush was President?"

Supposed Bush announced the same details - we went in, shot him, confirmed with DNA then dumped the body.

Would anybody doubt it? More than those that might doubt Obama or the same amount, just different ones?

it wouldn't make a difference to me. I think he's dead, the story is a good/believable one (the idea of OBL looking out his window and seeing helicopters full of US troops makes me smile) and this isn't really the end of much.

It would be nice if they started fighting amongst themselves to take Osama's spot.

As has Obama. As has Obama on virtually every topic he's spoken on.

Could it have to do with the irrational hate people had for W? Hell, nearly 30% of people thought 9/11 was an inside job.

I'll say it again - people whining about how Obama is being mistreated have incredibly short memories.

I'm not really a conspiracy theorist, but always skeptical of what the government tells me. I don't take them at their word unless they have solid support to the things they say. They can't get their story straight. Check this out:

US officials had claimed that Osama Bin Laden had been "firing behind" his wife when he was shot through the eye by a US Navy Seal, painting a powerful image of the world's most wanted man cowering behind a defenceless woman.

However US officials have now conceded that Bin Laden was not armed during the assault, did not fire back and that his wife was only injured in the assault, most likely in the crossfire, according to unnamed officials quoted by the US website Politico.

The discrepancy between earlier accounts and the new version of events was put down to "confusion" by the White House, who said that the "fact pattern" on the assault was only now becoming clear as more of the participants were interviewed.

The contradictions came despite the fact that other reports suggesting that President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the secretary of state and other senior officials had watched the assault on a live feed provided by a camera mounted on the commando's helmets.

It may go something like this..

It took a while but we got him. We rooted Osami Bin Ladan out of the caves in northen Pakistani a few years ago. Al Queada built him a compund in Abbatebad, Pakistani to hideout in.

We been watching this place fer some time, gathering intellience. On my command yesterday I sent in a Navy Seal team and they killed Bin Ladan along with his some of Bin Laden security detail. Shot him two times in the head as he tried to hide behind his wife. He died like the coward he was.

Members of the Navy Seal team took the body of Bin Laden and transported it to one of our carriers were we took some DNA samples, cleaned him up a little and videoed a proper quick burial into the deep blue sea.

How did we find him , well some of our intellegence gathers down at Gitmo waterboarded a couple of them ole boys we are retaining down there and well they decided to talk to our intergeters and gave us the name of one of Bin Ladans trusted couriers. It took our intelligence a few days to locate him, but they did and he led us to Bid ladens hideout, oh by the way, that courier is no longer with us either.

Whats got me a little puzzeled is Osama was hiding out in the same town that houses the Pakistan miliatary traing academy and has a lot of military personel living there both active and retired. This place he has been hiding in is about 6 times larger than anything else in that town and has 12-18' high walls with bobwire on top and none of the Paskatani military didn't know Osama was hiding out there. None of them thought to see who was living in that compound. That smells a little fishy to me. I going to have a long talk with Pakistan. We are giving them all this money and Osama is hiding out in the middle of their most prestious military community.
I don't know about that.
I just have one thing to say to Pakistan, you are either with us or against us. I don't care who you are, if you are my emeny I will come after you hard. I will drop bombs annd then send the calvary in.. I done it to Afganistane and Iraq and I will do it to you. Thats the way we do things in South Texas.
May God Bless America... Good night

I don't know. Some of the hate for Bush wasn't all that irrational. A lot of people felt like they were lied to. Same with Obama, there are legitimate gripes and people get pissed.

The whole 911 conspiracy, birth certificate, etc...that is nonsense you will find no matter who is in office.

I'm not whining about either, people should realize it comes with the job and there will be pissed off masses no matter who is in office.

Obviously I'm not about try and speak with any degree of clairvoyance but, as a tactical matter, shooting him in the face/head would make little sense unless a center mass shot wasn't an option. This would be consistent with him using a hostage as a shield though by no means proves that to be the case.

Just an observation.

Are these guys experienced marksmen? You betcha, but there's no upside whatsoever to shooting somebody in the face unless something makes that a better target. In fact, considering that facial recognition was supposed to be part of the ID process I can't imagine how a headshot would be the preferred option.

they did say there was one head shot and one body shot. maybe they had it reversed and the body shot came first followed by a kill shot when he was on teh ground.

I don't think a headshot is really that unbelievable. ID the target and squeeze off a round as fast as possible. ID their face in the sight and that's probably what gets hit

Oh there's nothing "unbelievable" about it, just that CM are the first option in every circumstance I can think of unless there's a reason otherwise. When things get chaotic I don't care how good a shot you are there's little point in making it harder. I would think this is even more the case if he was exposed and unarmed. What possible upside would there be to damaging something (the guy's face) that you're planning on photographing for ID purposes? Pump few rounds in the chest and call it a day.

Again, merely an observation.
