Rumor has it that he spent the last several years of his life on dialysis. There is some justice in the world.

They mentioned that already and have said that it is very unlikely. I would honestly be very very surprised if he had. Significant resources are needed for dialysis, especially if the patient can't go to a hospital.

Pure speculation on my part, but if he had been on dialysis I bet it would have been much easier to track him down.

Also would have been easier if we set our primary goal to catch/kill him, instead of going into another country to fight.

The guys that actually went in and killed him - how do you think they feel right now?

All that they'd probably allow themselves to feel is "Job well done!"

They'd smile a lot.

And every night get toasted.

These were Hit Men of the first order; killing machines that fulfilled their functions.

(Nothing less could get the job done, could it?)

How would you feel if you were on that scene with Bin Laden and called on to save his life so he could go to trial and you succeeded?

They are saying it was a SEAL Team. I thought it would have been CIA for sure, but I was wrong. No Americans were hurt, so that is 2 wins for the good guys.:D
 
It was a 40 minute helicopter raid, seal team killed him (there is speculation on a Pakistani TV network right now that they also killed Osama's son (didnt know he had one)).

One of the helicopters suffered a mechanical malfunction. However, no Americans were hurt. There was a woman (nationality unspecified) who was used as a human shield. She was killed.

I am watching footage of the burning mansion.

I don't know what I would do in that situation. I honestly don't know if I would be able to aid him in any way.

Is making sure he's captured instead of killed really aiding him? Which is better, a trial or a killing? This is not as easy of a question as people who are going to argue that him being dead based only on emotions would like it to be.
 
Brown finds it highly suspicious that not only this election year in the US, but, at a time when Obama is not all that popular bang, suddenly Bin Laden happens to turn turn up "dead" ....

And lets not forget that CIA has admitted he was funded and supplied to fight the Russians during the invasion of Afghanistan in the early eighties ....

Brown smells brown ....

The CIA has a habit of funding groups under the concept of the enemy of our enemy is our friend, without understanding that the enemy of our enemy could also become our enemy.
 
It also isn't really an election year here, 2012 is technically the next presidential election year.

Start there and read up for his entire account of the event as it unfolded.
 
That's where I started at. What is the helicopter crash he keeps talking about? My guess was breaching charges? I didn't hear anything about a chopper on the deck.
