The Pakastanis, Al Qaeda, the women with him, and everyone else knows if he's alive or not and wouldn't let Obama pull this off without calling him on the carpet about a several years discrepancy in death dates.

Reasons they would dump the body include the fact that they didn't dump it but needed a story to cover where they took it, that a forensic examination would show evidence they didn't want public, or that some part of the process didn't go according to plans. If I were to believe one of those reasons, I'd be inclined to believe the middle one as reports are now indicating that UBL was unarmed and assassinated with no attempt to take him into custody alive.

I did note something strange in the President's remarks tonight. When giving the history of this mission, beginning last August, he went on to say, "Today I authorized an operation (or word to that effect). I thought, "today?" I thought Bin Ladin was killed a week ago, and then DNA tests conducted to be sure. Am I the only one that heard this?

I just listened to a replay. The President said, "TODAY, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation.." What's up with that, the media said he was killed a week ago? I'm confused

UPDATE: Media now reports operation was TODAY.

I wonder if we'll ever get the ID of that soldier...
