"Bin Laden's death marks a psychological triumph in a long struggle that began with the Sept. 11 attacks, and seems certain to give Obama a political lift." [emphasis mine]

I call BS on this entire story. This is another political lie by zer0.

The Yahoo News story also says the the body was "buried at sea within two hours" in accordance with Islamic law about the disposal of corpses. There is no way any of this can be confirmed.

But we're going to hear about it every time zer0 opens his fat trap during his long campaign for re-election.
