They built a replica building to practice on, planned every minute detail down to how many steps it takes to go from point a to point b, but we are to believe they forgot to bring a camera? Come on, really.

The US isn't exactly an objective source of information regarding OBL and al Qeda. I am still not convinced that the official narrative regarding 9/11 is accurate. I would have preferred OBL was captured alive and interrogated. If its true he was killed this way, then the US missed a huge opportunity to increase their intel. It appears they had little interest in interrogating OBL. That doesn't make sense.

I highly doubt Osama would have allowed him self to be taken alive and I imagine he would have done something to provoke the soldiers to shoot him in that situation (probably what happened). Think about it, what worse a fate could someone like Osama have then being captured by the infidels, waterboarded a few dozen times, tried before the US military and then getting the needle a dozen years later?

These guys are prone to blow themselves and everyone else up. Why stand around and wait to see if that happens?

An experienced politician wouldn't have shared that personal opinion with the press.

Many people have doubts about this story. All we have is the US government's word. I'm still waiting for proof that Saddam Hussein had WMD stockpiles and was involved in the events of 9/11 as per US government claims allegedly supported by conclusive evidence back in 2003. I believe the US government deliberately lied in order to manipulate people into supporting an unprovoked war (war crime) to seize control of Iraq's oil wealth for the benefit large oil companies and their friends.

The US isn't exactly an objective source of information regarding OBL and al Qeda. I am still not convinced that the official narrative regarding 9/11 is accurate. I would have preferred OBL was captured alive and interrogated. If its true he was killed this way, then the US missed a huge opportunity to increase their intel. It appears they had little interest in interrogating OBL. That doesn't make sense.

Right now all we have is the US government's word regarding what happened. You'd have to be pretty gullible to trust whatever the US government says without supporting evidence. As we can see gullibility remains rampant. I'd like to hear what OBL's friends and associates have to say, including those who were allegedly in the house at the time of the raid.

So the NDP deputy leader is correct to have doubts regarding the official story. He was incorrect to discuss them with the press.


The NDP deputy leader is an idiot.

He is, after all, NDP......so is likely to believe any number of fairy tales.....you know, socialism is good, the gov't can effectively control everything, cap and trade won't hurt the economy, global warming will destroy the earth, the Israelis are evil, the UN is worthwhile, gun control works, etc etc etc.

Intelligence data you can get from the computers etc found at bin Laden's compound.

Of course it was a kill mission..... nothing else makes sense. A trial and execution would have made him even more of a martyr, and given him an international platform from which to speak.

It is a WAR. Kill the enemy where you find him.

Wow, alright.

What we have to sadly admit here, is that despite the fact that it would be somewhat reasonable to take the government's word on this, without evidence or proof, the uncertainty still exists.

The other point of contention is that this is goes against Obama's own promotion of transparency.

A mistake.

They should have piked his head and prominently displayed it on the wall of the US Embassy in Kabul, and supplied pictures and DNA to anyone that asked......but oh how the prissys would have cried out then!!!!!!!

Look, I'm not saying I agree with them (I'll take this at face value), but I would rather not have to endure another five years of Walter conspiracy theories thank you very much.

Case in point.

Pictures aren't going to do anything to quell the doubters: the capability for doctoring them has been around for decades and you can get "experts" to poke holes in the reliability of geniunely authentic ones, and thats exactly what would happen. Conspiracy nuts wouldn't believe this happened if they were there when it happened, there when the photos were taken, there in the DNA labs: they'd still claim it was a double or some crap.

That the 2nd in charge of our new opposition party is one of these idiots just confirms my faith in his party...
Because he has an opinion and hasn't wizened enough to keep it hidden so he can be accused of holding things back?

Will the death of the myth of Osama and the Easter Bunny make it any easier to mine the trillions of $$$ worth of lithium in A-Stan now?

Guys, you either trust the Obamers, or you're Donald Trump. Simple as that.
