I feel that I should caution ya'll that news of his demise might just be a little premature, since there has been very reliable sightings of him and Elvis in Florida, where they share a beachfront condominium penthouse.

Re: Osama Bin Laden, Dead
Let's play "Spot the Difference":
George W. Bush, 13.03.02: "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." Barack Obama, 02.05.11: "And so, so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. ... Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body." |

They did not claim the burial at sea was in keeping with Islamic tradition. "The disposal of -- the burial of bin Laden's remains was done in strict conformance with Islamic precepts and practices. It was prepared in accordance with the Islamic requirements," adviser John Brennan told reporters at a White House briefing. "We early on made provisions for that type of burial and we wanted to make sure that it was going to be done, again, in strictest conformance." The religious rites were conducted on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson in the Arabian Sea, with the ceremony starting at 1:10 a.m. and finishing at 2:10 a.m. ET, according to a senior Defense official. "The body was washed and placed in a white sheet. A military official read prepared remarks, which were then translated into Arabic by a native speaker, The body of Osama bin Laden was placed on a flat board, which was then tipped up, and allowed to slide into the sea," the official said. |

Yes I was sucked in by that.
It was almost certainly the Americans that created Al Qaeda and the CIA that trained Bin Laden... the outcome of this was beyond inept. . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ux3DKxxFoM |
