It amazes me that no one was injured.

Osama had to hear the helicopters flying overhead.

He knew he was a wanted man.

It’s like these guys walked in , asked him if he wanted to surrender, he said no and they shot him. Not one guard gets a shot at a soldier????

The human shield wasnt even killed despite earlier claims that she was.

I picture more the story in those photos.

I just want to know if the 3rd movement to Shostakovich’s 5th sympathy was piped through the Pentagon’s PA system at the time.

No, but this is different. It’s not the field of the battleground.

We took the body of the Number 1 man, flew it away in a helicopter and dumped it at sea within HOURS. The 24 hours wasn’t even close to being up.

It’s like if we had captured Hitler, shot him, flew him to a carrier and dumped him in the sea .

It’s just so odd to me.

This could affect your timeline:

40 minutes of fighting, and then two fatal shots

Pakistani officials agreed on Monday that they knew nothing.

"Not a thing," said an official with the ISI spy agency.

But there are signs that statement may be untrue: some reports on the strike, sourced in Washington, suggest the Seals took off from Ghazi airforce base at nearby Tarbela Dam. If true, that suggests a convenient contrivance so that Pakistan could avoid ownership of an operation certain to rankle with the notoriously anti-American public.

Did Osama care about the bodies of those murdered on 9/11? Did he care for some families there will never be a body to bury?

no nation wanted to take the remains - who needs shrine for terrorists?

personally, I find it somewhat satisfying that Osama was eaten by sharks and crabs and other creepy crawlies of the sea. I also won’t lose any sleep that his strewn body parts will never align with Mecca.

I sincerely hope that some bacon grease chum was used to entice the sharks to din-din.

I thought I heard Greta mention that the mission was executed days earlier, but was interrupted by Bret Baier indicating it happened hours earlier. I didn’t have it on PVR, so I couldn’t review. Maybe I completely misunderstood what Greta uttered.

that really isn’t the point.
It doesnt matter what YOU think should happen to him.

What matters is protocol and things that just aren’t adding up..and all of the conflicting stories.

How do you know no one would take him??? You don’t.

I am sure there are those that would if given a chance.

It is quite possible he isn’t dead and is somewhere being interrogated.

The original story was that this happened days ago. AP
reported such, too. This was released in the hour or so before Obama came on the air.
Then the story changed.

Why did it change???

Maybe because people at the location were tweeting about the incident??
I don’t know.

And why did it take Obama so long to come on the air??

I think they were changing the story.

Not certain his family wanted a parade of thugs at a funneral. No nation would take him..nor his family.

When you look at his family dynamics among his brothers, sisters etc. you find Osama was the black sheep from a young age. Basically not very bright growing up and other kids tormented him because his mother, (his father’s 2nd wife), was the least cared for by osama.s father...and osama basically guilty by association...she was married off to another man later on after Osamas dad divorced her.

From about 14 yrs. old Osama was tutored by a member of the ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ who took him under his belt....and later about 17yrs. another Member of the Muslim Brotherhood. So his hatred for Israel and the West was further encouraged by these men. He then joined the war opposing Russia in Aphganistan..etc.etc.etc.

And so i doubt there was much love between them...or concern. And they did not desire his body.

So what happened to the other people??

That's my question too. And, did they shoot him in bed?

It was not unusual to hear Helicopters over this area with the military base nearby...so hearing them would not be unusual. The actual flight route our guys had in mind played into this whole operation..including muffling the helicopters down.

Tarbela Dam, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan ---->to----> Bilal Town, Abbottābad, Pakistan (Osama bin Laden's Complex) looks to be less than 30 miles.

I couldn't find the Ghazi Air Force base, but other military facilities in the area are closer to Osama's complex than the dam.

that argument falls apart because he had wives...

Can a Country demand that you not bury your husband on their soil?

If you husband is a mass murdering serial killer chopping up bodies on the subway...can the State tell you that you can’t bury him in that State???

Was the woman who was dead/not dead his wife.

Osama was in the custody of the US because they extracted him from Pakistan without their permission.

There was time to figure out what to do with him before 24 hours was up.

They elected to do a 40 MINUTE burial at sea. So they could film it. So they could show the Islamic world he was treated with respect.

Does one of his wives have the right to claim the body of the Number 1 wanted man????

If he was a serial killer murderering 100s of people on the subway and was on the FBI’s most wanted list - the answer is yes.

I heard that there is no evidence that Osama ever touched a weapon. They even said he did not use a woman for a shield but that a woman had been shot in the cross fire. They didn't say who was fireing back but it must have been his adult son that they say was killed, too.

Unless they shot the stiff off one of the cats. They probably took it down to the hanger bay and dropped him off an aircraft elevator.

Might have been a situation where pretend nothing unusual is up and no one notices much. Announce after over the closed circuit.
