Here's hoping it was him, and it was US forces that did it. And this will strike a huge morale blow to the spring attack from Al Queda.

May not be an overstatement if this is true.

It kinda depends. There's still a year before the elections. Obama has plenty of time to screw up or get blame.

If this was 2012 and the election was in a few months then yeah its pretty much sealed a win but with so much time people will forget. If the economy doesn't turn around he's gonna have problems.

At a training site in Louisiana. I was part of the Afghan training effort in theater. If he's really dead, the guys who did it are the real heroes. :thumbsup:

Unless they found 10 million barrels of oil in his ass I don't think this will help his campaign 18 months from now.

Are you saying the family would have kept his hair around or something? You might be able to prove that person who died was related but ultimately you would have needed Osama dna.

They probably checked everything, DNA, dental records, fingerprints, blood, etc. Remember, he came from a wealthy family so it's more than likely the CIA had all his medical records.

DNA - How does it work?

Ugh.... What are you talking about? Are you saying you think that you can magically deduce one family member's DNA from the rest of the family? Or that that the family had his hair lying around? Stop being a smartass and try to be more clear what you're saying.

I want to see his long form birth certificate. Then I want proof that the body wasn't frozen and saved just for this occasion.
