Did this all go down within the last few hours, or have we had Osama's body for a week for DNA testing?
They can't both be true.
>> Photo is a fake....posted prior last week
Well, that’s some coincidence...
so it’s been out there before? (the eye does look kinda fake) - thanks for letting me know.
I don’t think that is Osama. It says “disturbing image”. Seeing Osama’s dead body is not disturbing.
The locals on twitter who were reporting the events live said it was shot down by the air battery of the PMA FF military academy, the blackhawk then landed somewhere in the Kakul (Kakool) road area of Bilal neighborhood in north east Abbottabad very close to if not on the drill square for the Pakistani Military Academy.
NO idea if this is true, but several different indepedent tweets from locals all said the Blackhawks started circling around 12:35AM local time and were circling 10 to 12 times , there was one explosion around 12:35AM local time, before the big boom (which was probably the commandos blowing the BH after the crash), were multiple explosions, and a local family was injured in the intial crash, 2 injuries.
Another local witness writing in English:
http://twitter.com/#!/smedica
We’ve had it for a week, then somebody realized, oh crap, Muzzies have to be buried within 24 hours, so now the “it happened today” story comes out.
Only one can be true.
Never mind. I thought it said GAY Tweets.
I always suspected OBN was a little light in the Sandals.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
“Who you gonna believe, your own eyes/ears or us?”
The timeline no longer makes sense, I think the MSM is confused on the timezones, all the local tweets state this raid occured at 12:35 AM, 2nd of May, 2011 Local time.
Abbottabad, Pakistan is Greenwich Mean Time + 5 Hours.
The SEAL team only landed around 2:15 to 2:35PM, 1st May, 2011, EDT.
The “DNA testing” is a lie.
UNLESS the US Military had set up a field lab in Afghanistan and the tests were performed immediately upon the return of the Blackhawks?
I was under the impression that DNA testing itself required several days. Perhaps a medical/forensics professional could weigh in.
It could also be a result of confusion surrounding the early reports, which had him killed by a bomb/missile. Death by a bullet would not require such testing as he could be identified on sight.
The confusion is simple. Obama said in his speech he authorized the operation last week but it was executed today. I think his comments were leaked to the press before his speech and they were mistakenly reporting it happened last week. Obviously it didn’t since we have all these ground reports from Pakistan today.
This whole story sounds like a Crazy Larry O’Donnel production. “Mr. President, let’s announce it during Celebrity Apprentice and we’ll say we buried him at sea.” Hilarious.
Quite possible that the CIA had assets on the ground who collected a sample from the household trash or something, was returned for testing, they got the results last week and Obama approved the mission.
THe initial reports tonight most definitely had incorrect timelines.
We’ll find out more in the coming days I’m sure.
Almost sound like a freeper witnessed and reported in! ;~)
Genuinely rolling on the floor laughing my ass off!!!
Did TMZ confirm the death?
That picture is a fake from last November.
