Conveniently, as the presidential re-election campaign looms ... Commander in Chief Obama finds and kills Bin Laden? Evidently, it was a "head shot" (probably conveniently disfiguring) ... and Osama's corpse was disposed of in the ocean very promptly. We saw smart bombs go down A/C systems into the Iraqi air force headquarters ... we saw Saddam hang ... saw Che on a slab replete with bullet holes. OTOH ... for Osama, we only saw some bloody carpet beside a bed ... curiously, the footage was an ABC "exclusive", but absent a credit for the source. Despite the fact that we don't mind Delta Force personnel making a few bucks on the side with their cell phone videos ... the provenance for the ABC exclusive video is one initial question. There are many, many more ... Like: Why now and not sooner? What is the actual proof of death other than Obama's statements and questionable video? Was the mission an intentional assassination vs. capture?
My point to this post is to make a prediction: Unless there is definitive information released, the Obama pre-election coup may only come back to haunt him by providing fodder for conspiracy theorists.
Supposedly, Bin Laden now rests with the fishes ... seems fishy to me. Time will tell ...and probably soon.
