I'll quote a comment on CNN.com: pics or it didn't happen.
If it's true, I wonder if this will make the terrorists more bold or more reserved in the near future. Can you ask your friends, Assassin?
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I doubt this makes any difference in the war on terror if not just makes him look like a martyr. All else barred, the asshole got what he deserved, thats for sure. I heard it was a bullet to the head? CNN says they used DNA testing to prove its him.
AMERICA FUCK YEA!
That requires them to have access to other DNA samples to compare to. If his parents or other close relative gave permission to use theirs as a comparison it would work, though in my mind it's still short of "proving" that it's Bin Laden.Originally Posted by Carnage

There are many Bin Laden's with close ties to the U.S. Osama came from one of the wealthiest families of Saudi Arabia, and broke off as a renegade (I think). There were many Bin Ladens that attended Harvard in fact.
What I'm saying is that the only 100% confirmation we can have is for the body's DNA to match the DNA sample of someone confirmed to be Osama Bin Laden.
Using relatives as comparisons, you can prove the relationship of the sample to that person, but one can not fully be certain (think of long lost twins, illegitimate children of the parent etc) unless it's a 100% match and not a derived answer based on assumptions or "facts".
eg: Daddy Bin Laden has 2 sons. The 2 sons of different DNA. Sample DNA is not that of Good-Boy Bin Laden, but is the son of Daddy Bin Laden. Sample DNA must be Osama Bin Laden.
I'm just being picky here at what's "proof", not to say that whatever method of proof the US decided to use is not good enough for me.

Someone photoshop this so it looks like he's smoking a fattie:
Reading some details, they are a bit sketchy. Shot in the face = decoy pawn = Osama is still alive, like Elvis.

He was already an old man probably tired of running like a coward all the time, so chances are it was Osama alright.
Good riddance.
Sobre satisfaction, but things are really going to get dicey from here on.
Things are probably going to get several times worse than it has with the Qur'an burning.
Weird, no one, including myself, noticed I typo'd "Obama is still alive, like Elvis". My bad. I meant Osama of course. I'm voting for Obama in 2012, if I vote.

I noticed, but I didn't want to be rude.

It wouldn't have been rude. I take criticism from intelligent people very well.

Those two names are too close to each other to be convenient. When I wrote a comment to a newspaper article elsewhere, I read my bloody post five times before submitting to make sure I got them correctly, and not vice versa.
Well apparently it happens quite often. About 4 people i know made this mistake on Facebook, some of them were pretty late to the story and there were some confused people that thought "Obama is dead".
I just heard my brother pronounce Osama as Ou-sama.

Shot in the face, eh? Great way to cover up if it was really him.
DNA testing? everything Buff said + the fact that even if it wasn't him it is so good propaganda opportunity.
There is nearly 100% chance that he left instructions in case of his death(if its true), plus they are bound to have other iconic(and possibly intelligent) people to continue his 'work', also they now have a nice martyr and another reason to fight.

I sure hope not.

I dont see why its so doubtful that America caught the world's most wanted terrorist with an $800 billion annual military budget.
