Huh! I assumed he was dead all along.

But Landlady told me this morning that Osama Bin Laden is finally dead. And despite a certain knee-jerk suspicion caused by that "bullet in the face" thing, my reaction is


Please God! Let there be a hell!

ETA: Wait. What?
A senior US official told US television networks that he had been buried at sea, without giving further details.

Earlier an administration official said of the corpse: "We are ensuring that it is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition.

"This is something that we take very seriously. And so therefore this is being handled in an appropriate manner."

Burying bin Laden's body at sea would ensure that his final resting place does not become a shrine and a place of pilgrimage for his followers.
Okay, that's a good reason for sending him to sleep with the fishies. But before you've put all skepticism to rest? Hang him from a lamp post outside the Pentagon until the DNA results are independently verified, then dump him in the drink. But now you've got my conspiracy theory genes all in an uproar. Tim Osman isn't gonna show up living in Argentina, is he?

Is he?

He'd dead...again...more officially this time. Whatever. We'll see another video from him in less than six months. Obama had to do something in a desperate attempt to win back the people for his next election. The timing is pretty perfect, just as people are starting to wonder about other candidates BOOM, BLOW insert distraction, everyone love our conquering hero again!

Left this comment over at Carl Bussejagers site, thought you might enjoy it. Just being contrarian as Claire might say.

It is fascinating that people that don't trust the government to tell them truthfully what time it is take this announcement as gospel.

It is possible that OBL never really existed. 9/11 and previous terror attacks needed a culprit other than the U.S. GOvernment so the made one up. Only pictures, videos, recording we've ever seen have been released by the government or government sponsored entities. Every video seems to be very well scripted and mostly done in clean well lit environments. More like reality-tv than reality. Close ups always show him well made up, hair and beard neatly trimmed, clothes clean and in good repair. Never did he look like a terrorist leader on the run.

So, when you need to put the boogey man you created to rest, you "kill" him in a spectacular fashion and dump the "proof" into the ocean.

It could of happened just like the Govt claims too.

Well, Joel, as you know from my dustups with Elias that I am no conspiracy theorist.........buuuuuttttttt:

Burial at sea? ( If I was Obama that feather in my cap would lie in state a while, at least until my poll numbers went positive again.)

Head blown apart?( yeah, heat of battle, using a female meat shield and all that....maybe.)

How about the on site while you wait delivery in 30 minutes or less or your pizza is free DNA test?

And didn't Benazir Bhutto say some sheik killed him just before Al Queada supposedly pulled the PR faux pas of the century in Pakistan by blowing her ass up?

Questions? Yeah, I got 'em.

Buck.

Buck,

Some believe the ISI, Pakistani Intelligence blew up Benazir Bhutto and blamed Al Queada. Bhutto was the only one with enough courage to bring the ISI to heel. It's convenient to have a shadowy group to blame your actions on.
