That smiling guy is Bill Warren, the Californian treasure hunter who claimed he was searching for Osama Bin Laden's dead body back in June 2011. He didn't find him then, but now he claims he has located the cadaver. Talking to Spanish newspaper El Mundo, Warren says he has no doubt about where Osama is:

Maybe he will find Jimmy Hoffa too! The odds are about the same for locating either corpse.

Oh I would love to see photos of Binny now.

The crabs found him first.

I know where he is also...living in Obama`s ancestral home in Kenya

[TomGuy]

Initially, I would suspect he is pimping for pesos and hoping to get someone to fund his expedition.

From wife # 3?

How long do human bones last in the sea?

This depends greatly on placement of the bones.

The salt water by itself will not dissolve the bone, so if the bone is deep enough where there is little water movement or it becomes covered in silt and protected on the bottom of the ocean it can last for thousands, sometimes millions of years in the right conditions.

However, if the bone is left exposed to ocean currents it can be slowly worn away and returned to dust in much the same process that reduces rocks to sand. Depending on the level of exposure this process can take any number of years.

It is important to note that the decay rate out of the ocean is typically much faster due to the presence of microbes which cause decay and predatory animals that are more accustomed to feeding on bone.

Impossible because Bin-Laden is not dead.

Paging Whorealdo Rivera......your "Capone's vault" shtick has just been resurrected.

Bin Laden is shark sh!t.

I'd pay $20 to piss on OSB’s bones.

The Treasure hunter might have a real money maker.

I wonder what it cost to retrieve his head and preserve it in a block of Lucite? Just the thing to decorate the lobby of the new center where the two towers used to be...

Bill Warren will know that he has found Bin Ladens corpse on the seabed when he discovers one of these puppies:

It will be, admittedly, a very short revelation.

Nope.....just a whale turd.....but it is hard to tell the difference.

Quick, wrap him in bacon to preserve the body

[duckman]

Is that Rahm, in the back of the room, blowing into Pelosi’s ear????

Maybe Osama was riding that Harley from Japan to Canada. Now he’s out running around Canada.

Warren is...ready to start the diving for Osama's body bag: he says he's aiming at starting the mission on June 1, and that he may be able to find the body in "under a week."

Not if the USN gets there first.
