he died on the same day as hitler.

I believe Osama is dead, after some research I don't know if he's been or was just killed. 

Noel --- 14 years ago -

I believe he's dead. I do not believe he died the way the story suggests - maybe not even on the same day. 

smella1212 --- 14 years ago -

i believe he is for sure. i definitely agree that the story may have been changed for media purposes..but i guess well find that out in 50 yrs when the classified info can be released again. but i have heard some things going around that the government has had him for around 6 months or so and has just now killed him. not that i care. the sob is dead now. if they did have him for that long i would hope that they tortured him to hell and back before they put him out of his misery. 

Jersey Girl --- 14 years ago -

I believe it, but they actually killed him a few days prior to the 1st. They had to be sure it was him. He died in April from what they say and considering he wouldn't have been taken alive, I believe it happened the way they said. 

Jersey Girl --- 14 years ago -

From what I read/heard it was a couple days before and they had to get his body here to do DNA testing, but I could be wrong. I'll look again. 

Jersey Girl --- 14 years ago -

Yeah they didn't bring him to the U.S. at all.

Bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy SEALs during a raid on a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan on Sunday.

Foxs News ^ 


Yes, that is where he was killed, but they had to match his DNA to his sisters DNA and his sisters was here in the states.

From what I've read, you are correct. But I did hear that it was on the 24th and they needed time to identify the body. There are a couple of posts about it but nothing solid that I've seen.

They released Saddam's and his son's pics...why not his ars????? 

Saddam"s was videotaped but wasn't supposed to be. That's what leaked his stuff. Someone in his own country as far as I remember.

His sons WERE killd by us forces. My Ex Husbands squad got the info to their hide-out and had others raid it. He caught quite a few of them on the "card" list. Including the harrassment that got Saddam captured. he went there twice to find Saddam. Don't know where you read that, but THEY are very wrong. 

One of his sons was killed with him during this raid.

Did double take! Wa Huuuu???? R U Freggin serious! I hope under 24/7 watch by secret service or something! 

She died in Boston and they kept her brain for DNA matching if/when they got Osama.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The federal government released information about the techniques it used to identify Osama bin laden.
First, on the scene, two women at the compound identified bin laden after he was killed. Second, when the Navy SEAL team got back to Jalalabad they measured his body. He was over six-feet-four inches tall.
Third, they conducted a computer facial recognition analysis, which concluded a 90 to 95 percent match.
In addition to a visual identification, officials also used facial recognition and DNA evidence to confirm Osama bin Laden's identity.
It was just a few hours after the raid that investigators made the DNA match, but it's a process that sometimes takes days, if not weeks.
The DNA match of bin Laden was fast and that surprised some people because at crime labs, there's often a delay because of the case load. Baylor scientists showed us how a DNA match can be made within hours.
At Baylor's Molecular and Human Genetics lab, they showed us one way a quick DNA match could be processed in the field.
DNA from blood goes into a machine to copy it. Then it's loaded into a DNA analyzer which prints the information as graphs. Then they're read by a geneticist. How long does this take?
"Two to three hours would be easy enough; it's possible with a special effort you can get under that time somewhat," said Dr. Arthur Beaudet, head of Baylor's Molecular and Human Genetics lab.
But to do a DNA match of bin Laden, they had to have someone to which to compare his DNA.
"They thought so far in advance to get one of his family members and they were able to get a sample from a family member," Baylor Molecular Geneticist Dr. Alecia Willis said.
The FBI reportedly got a DNA sample from bin Laden's sister, who died in Boston of brain cancer in 2005.
"I think it shows we were greatly prepared for doing this," Willis said.
Baylor's Molecular and Human Genetics lab uses DNA for medical research. Our Christi Myers took a DNA test at a lab that does family and paternity matching. Like many places today, Pinnacle Medical Management tests DNA using cheek swabs.
They don't do the testing at the facility but it's still fast.
"We send it out overnight and then we get results on the third day that morning," said Heather Guillory, VP of the Pinnacle Medical Management.
There have been some reports that a second DNA test was done to confirm the bin Laden death. Baylor geneticists say when their lab gets a positive result they typically do a repeat test for confirmation. In forensics situations, they say, there's not always enough DNA for a repeat test.

Maria, you're right. They did it in a few hours. I don't know where the 24th kept coming from.

Are you friggin kidding ME? Why wouldn't his sister NOT be able to live here (I realize she is now deceased)?

Just because her brother was a monster, doesn't make her one.

There are plenty of relatives of "our enemies" living peacefully among us in the United States.

Senators Misled By Fake Photos?

Interesting stuff.

Yeah, no. No matter what secret intel connek-shee-ons people think they got, I firmly believe that this whole thing is a crock, in one way or another.

But, what can I say. I'm one of those people who learns. Now that it's been proven, pretty regularly, that my government lies to me to sway my opinion and advance their agenda, I'm not going to take anything they say as it is. Without proof, their word is meaningless. And I do mean meaningless. If they can provide airtight proof, it'll be a different story.

Matched to what? The U.S. is believed to have collected DNA samples from several of bin Laden's family members during the decade since the terrorist attacks of 9/11. According to an ABC News affiliate in Boston, one of those samples belonged to bin Laden's sister, who died of brain cancer about a year ago at Massachusetts General Hospital; after her death, government officials were reported to have taken some of her brain tissue for genetic testing.

Brain, brain tissue.. LOL.

What?! They're coming to get us?!?

There's a difference between understanding that a politician can't be trusted and believing in little men that circle the planet in flying saucers, though.
