(CNN) -- The mastermind of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil is dead, U.S. President Barack Obama announced late Sunday night, almost 10 years after the attacks that killed about 3,000 people.
Osama bin Laden -- the founder and leader of al Qaeda -- was killed by U.S. forces Sunday in a mansion in Abbottabad, north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, along with other family members, a senior U.S. official told CNN.
In an address to the nation Sunday night, Obama called bin Laden's death "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda."

Totally ignoring the facts that they are most likely surrounded by unpaid bills, empty fast food containers and empty soda cans with a cat box that looks like it hasn't been emptied since the mid eighties, in fact, there is a dead cat buried in it and the other cats don't even use the "mausoleum" anymore.
Because God knows that each and every one of them have never had any situation, ever, where they mis-spoke, or had incorrect information, or had any single piece of the puzzle not be 100%.
And yes. I am jealous of how perfect they are. lol
Presidents are not suppose to mis speak, for crying out loud he has people who double double check everything he is about to say, that being said, the news must of mispoke, every single news channel who said this was done last week, they all are wrong but only Obama misspoke, my ass, something is wrong here!!

They don't want His grave to become a shrine or anything,so they may bury Him at sea.
How convenient. Anymore opinions you want to share? You must have some great inside info. How can they bury this guy at sea when he was killed in 2001?
Why aren't you happy he was killed period? Today or 10 years ago doesn't matter to me. But for some reason it matters to you guys.
WHY?

That is an assumption, off a predefined idea of perfection, you have created in your mind, based on Tv, and Movies, and Mystery novels.
In the real world, people get stuff, "half right" more than they get it all right, nearly all the time. It was how one sentence was worded, versus the entirety of the messages context.
But the real key is this. You WANT something to be wrong. So now you have MADE something wrong.

Shes trying to shut him up lol.

Just out of curiosity. What if they are lying about when he was killed? Is that still not good news? Does it really matter if it was today or 10 years ago?
Oh wait, if it was 10 years ago then Bush's mission accomplished statement justifies two wars.
yes it does matter, of course, dont you want the government to tell you the truth and nothing but the truth?, why the inconsistencies, Oh and I dont take sides, I do not trust either side. Bush, Obama, nuthin but puppets for the TPTB.
