Well at least they didn't water board him.

Well.... They did dump his body in the ocean afterwards...

Me either Bert. My take on it is that it's all BS. Not trying discredit/disrespect our troops by any means, but Osama was on dialysis for kidney issues and moving around A LOT to avoid being captured/killed by forces that were hunting him like a prize trophy deer. My guess is he's been dead a long time and I find it rather convenient timing that Obamajama claimed responsibility for aiding in the location and killing of Osama Bin Laden. On another note, I was in the middle east when Sadaam Hussein's boys were killed. Their bodies were pretty beat up and they still showed their dead corpses all over the news like a hunter that just bagged a prize buck. They even showed the gold plated brace in one of their legs proving it was in fact them who was killed. You're not going to convince me that the man allegedly responsible for the worst terrorist attack on American soil was killed by U.S. forces, then just conveniently "dumped at sea" because his body was too riddled full of holes. That is one time the American people would've cheered and clapped to see that dead POS's dead, bullet riddled corpse on their television. To me, every person who lost someone on 9/11 deserved that closure. Call me a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist all you want, but everything about the "killing of Osama Bin Laden" smells rotten.

But they made a movie about it... So it MUST be true!

Eh, they should have pissed in his mouth then packed him full of bacon before dragging him out of there.

Guys guys, come on show some respect for bacon. Pack him full of tripe/pigs-feet/etc.

Still not buying it.
They were in a hostile situation with a chopper down. They had to have an idea that they could easily have a substantial amount of bad guys come down on them any time. Why would you burn up ammo on somebody already croaked when you may very well have to croak more guys? Plus they were snagging as much intel such as his pron tapes and computers and such.
I still think they are more polished professionals than that.

+1.

I also think there is another factor that everyone is missing: how many people were watching this op go down. Even if this photo is staged, those gentlemen had lot's of eyes over their shoulders...



Mick you have a valid point; but given OBL's "reported" location at the top bedroom, I don't see the amount of rounds expended stated in this article being realistic. The son/wife, or whoever they were, on the lower level; possibly.
