Well, it just depends I guess. If it's a pretty clear picture and video, I would be more inclined to believe this story. But, it's pretty hard to get past them getting rid of the body within hours, that's very hard to swallow.
He was shot. In. The Head.

I agree they are on the hook to present SOME evidence, since they decided to capture him dead or alive. If nothing is released within a month, then I will be with you arguing for more evidence. But after 48 hours?
Like I said, I'm beside myself that they would get rid of Osama Bin Laden's body in a matter of hours, before any kind of investigation or autopsy could be done. It's gonna be hard to get past that, but we'll see what they present in the coming days...
According to early one story, they already had. He didn't want to surrender. Still waiting for confirmation.

When they stormed the beaches of Normandy do you think they worried about taking prisoners? No it was war.
It's a war crime to shoot an unarmed combatant without giving them the opportunity to surrender...
Yes, because we all know how reliable emotional reactions are.

You couldn't. Not with out bringing on WWIII and I tend to agree with the theory that WWIV will be fought with spears.

12 year old daughter? So that would mean he helped conceive her during 1998 or 1999. During those years he also:
Issued a Fatwah against North American Citizens...
US Embassy Bombings...
Ends up on the US 10 most wanted list....
Yet also had time for some 'Bow Chicka Bow Wow'.
You mean like all those videos claiming responsibility he sent to Al-Jazeera?

According to the government. You never gave him the opportunity to present his side of the story, did you? I'm not saying he was or he wasn't, but it would be interesting to hear what information he may have had to offer the people of the U.S. outside the messages that were presented to us by our media.
Then people would just claim it was a double, or that he was coerced by the US holding a gun to his daughter's head.

A trial would have been the best option, he of course would have gotten no less than the death penalty much like Saddam, but that way we would have seen the proof that he was caught and killed.
People read the paper.

So how did he fake having his birth announced in 2 local newspapers the day after his birth?
The Department of Health employee that submitted the announcement knew he would one day run for President, and submitted news of his birth?
Did you see the announcement in the paper 2 days after he was born? If not how do you know that the records, probably on microfiche, were not altered at a later date? Are there any original paper newspapers from that date floating around anywhere? As far as I know there are not....If I am wrong about this please let me know.

So, our government holds Islamic custom, over proper forensic investigation, and proving to it's citizens that our #1 enemy has been killed. That's an interesting, and sudden turn of events. I guess nobody told them they had the setting of 2 suns to bury the body. But, they got er done in less than 10 hours? My @ss. Muslims would give us a pass on this guy anyway, since he's allegedly murdered thousands of Muslims as well as Americans. If a few had a problem with it, oh well. They'd make a little noise, and forget about it, as usual. You guys over there at Centcom, or wherever you are, know that full well. So, how's that new U.S. military social media program working out for ya anyway? Kinda curious since our tax money is being used to fund your little operation. You're welcome.
Yet you think that the US should've taken Osama's body back to the US for an autopsy, regardless of Islamic custom. That's not "human decency".

Sympathetic? Try skeptical of our corrupt government's official story. I don't give a squirt of piss what you find disturbing. You're trying to inject sympathy, into my opinion that that we should follow the rule of law and human decency.
He was matched via photos and DNA, and the US tried to give the body to the Saudis, who probably would've turned him over to his family. That's not the actions of people who want to dispose of evidence.

What makes no sense to me is the following:
If the story is true, why the rapid removal of evidence?
1) Osama was allegedly dumped into the sea within 7 hours of being shot - come on we have searched for him for 10+ years and all we can do is quickly drop him in the sea?
No, it was caught in a prop wash inside the walls of the compound and crashed.
2) One of the helicopters involved in the alleged raid was "blown up" to eliminate the possibility of anyone being able to gain intel about avionics etc. The story is that the helicopter engine appeared stalled and could not be restarted.
Because they knew the Pakistan military was mobilizing, and if they stuck around would likely end up with an International Incident, possibly even more choppers destroyed.
These helicopters used in the raid are multi-millions each, and even worst case scenario should have been pulled for scrap parts. But no, they "blew it up in haste". Tell me, if the situation was contained and they extracted Osama, why not await sunrise and begin the process of clean-up and detailed scene reporting and investigating, to include properly salvaging our helicopter?

"proper forensic investigation" ??? Do you have evidence they didn't?? Or they didn't do it to your liking?
If they would have put him on trial, your the flavor of human, that would have been bitching and complaining about the cost to the tax payers.. The only reason they should have done anything different, is to shut down the conspiracies... Should we change our procedure to appease the mindless drones??? Not a bit
! period!
Pathetic!
