Good thing they kept some DNA, since they already disposed of his body. Wierd.

Why wouldn’t DNA testing have been done at Langley or Quantico instead of Mass General?

Doesn’t DNA testing take weeks?

Personally, I think his body should have been hung at ground zero and when disposed of, had something done involving a pig, but that is just me.

Yes, and those siblings are not all full-blooded.

All comparing with the sister could prove is that the dead guy’s a sib. Wouldn’t they need a preexisting sample of UBL’s DNA to confirm an actual match?

Put his head on a spike at ground zero... burial at sea, and so quick? Weird. How did they get DNA results so quick?

“they already disposed of his body. “

That bothers me as well — why wasn’t he put on dispaly like Saddam Hussein’s sons were?

Obama seemed too concerned to observe “Islamic tradition” to bury the body within 24 hrs, and it seems UBL was buried at sea within less than 12 hrs, more like within 6 hrs. If he was killed in the afternoon and by the time Obama made his speech he was buried...

I won't believe Osama Bin Laden is dead until I see conclusive unretouched photos and video.

How about releasing that shit Obama Bin Lyin'?

WE HAD THE DAMN BODY. WHY DID THEY DUMP IT?? Muslim custom?? Obama said Usama was not a Muslim.

Suppose they had dumped Hitler's body!!

If ever there was a situation ripe for conspiracy theory its this one. They could’ve easily removed all doubt yet they follow this course. Its really odd.

This whole story is squirrely. If they did indeed kill some really tall, scrawny guy thinking it was UBL, I hope it was.

That’s my question: How could they verify a DNA match so quickly?

LOL!

All it proves is that they had some of his DNA. It doesn't do squat to prove that he's dead.

The U.S took pictures of Uday and Qusay and waited longer than a day to bury them. I want to see pictures.

Speaking of evidence...

Did you see the film footage on "The Blaze" inside the "compound"?

Looks rather tossed.

What Intel did they get?

Wow, their could be a treasure trove in their....
