I found it interesting in the article that I linked that it said that there was a safer way of taking him out by air strikes, but Obama specifically wanted a higher risk attack that put our most elite soldiers in hand-to-hand combat with Usama (I'm changing to that spelling to avoid sounding like a Mother Goose type tongue-twister) because Obama wanted the body to be able to prove it was Usama. I'm following the logic up to here as I can understand why that could be important. It almost blew up in his face with the SEALs losing their transportation out and having to stay in the compound with some 15-20 angry and grieving women and children. But everyone said that having his body to prove it was the real deal would be important for the Arab world, so OK. But then they dump him overboard within 12 hours before anyone can verify the body? I'm not starting a conspiracy or thinking that it wasn't Usama. Al Qaeda would know and would have him all over the news within hours if it wasn't true. But it just isn't consistent and doesn't make sense to authorize a high-risk attack with massive intercountry political implications (Pakistan is now strongly saying they were informed and involved in order to not look like fools and to minimize backlash) in order to be able to show off his body, then to dump his body where no one can recover it before showing it off. Huh?
Also very interesting to me is the tweets by the Pakistani guy. He hears a helicopter and is told it isn't Pakistani, so he immediately assumes it is Taliban and doesn't seem at all concerned about that. It's only when the helicopter isn't Pakistani OR Taliban that his suspicions are raised. The place must have been crawling with Taliban for him to make such a casual assumption!
Well, rumor has it that first the computer identified him as Elvis, but after minor corrections, uninstalling Windows and ... ...Hoi Polloi wrote:Here's a pretty detailed account. It doesn't claim DNA as identification, but facial recognition software.
