| Bin Laden was unarmed in raid |
| 2011-05-03 |
| The White House last night changed key elements of its account of Osama bin Laden's death, admitting that the al-Qaeda leader was not armed and that his wife was neither killed nor used as a human shield as senior aides had previously claimed. So? |

| #11 Let's be fair, Frank. The AK-47 is a difficult weapon to operate. |

| #10 tu - he's already demonstrated he didn't know how to fire an AK47 without someone else to operate the charging handle |

| #9 As for the Bammer, Radical Islam is escalating its TerrOps in AFPAK + IRAQ as the US begins its planned withdrawl of forces from the regions - as illustrated by IRAN'S post-OSAMA statements, in the eyes of many Muslims the alleged death of Osama Bin Laden means the US no longer has any business keeping Milfors in Muslim Countries + Regions. POTUS BAMMER'S PREDICAMENT > Besides the ABOVE, US Milfors withdrawn from AFPAK + IRAQ are coming home to a CONUS WID LITTLE TO NO JOBS FOR RETURNING US GWOT VETS. E.g. NET > The USN SEALS Org [etc. USDOD] whose members raided Abbottobad were repor at real risk of NOT GETTING THEIR NORMAL PAYCHECKS ON TIME PRIOR TO CONDUCTING THE RAID ON OSAMA, as due to ongoing US Budget woes + GOP-DEM impasse oer the Deficit. CATCH-22. |

| #8 All that shooting going on and he doesn't grab a weapon? Life's hard when you're stupid. Or maybe he didn't worship death as much as he said he did? Oh, well. Guess we'll never know... |

| #7 Personally I'm more interested in the status/condition of his health. Again, the Osama I knew from the 1980's Afghan War would had known to keep moving around to avoid capture by the US-NATO - iff the Abbottobad compound was indeed built specifically for Osama, IMO IT MEANT OR INFERS THAT HIS HEALTH PROBS [e.g. Diabetes] WAS LIKELY STARTING TO SERIOUSLY AFFECT HIM PHYSICALLY WID OR WIDOUT THE PRESENCE OF ANY PORTABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT + SKILLED MEDICAL TECHS. Osama's family + entourage at Abbottobad should know the true state of his health - the USN SEALS, however, would not. |

| #6 Am I the only one who finds it a little odd that a potential intelligence gold mine (OBL) was killed rather than captured. It also occurs to me that perhaps Obama didn't want the embarassment of a new Gitmo resident focusing the media on his failure to shut it down as he endlessly promised. |

| #5 There seems to have been an awful large number of Al Qaeda and their breeding stock in that house. I hope the SEALs brought enough lift for them all to see the sights from the USS Vinson. |

| #2 Shutup already! Jihadis like to be photographed with their "kalish." There is no way that OBL wasn't either holding a weapon, or poised to grab one. Team Six commandos were wearing helmut-cams. While the video stream shouldn't be released, because it would appear in terror videos, it should be reviewed by oversight agencies, like Nobama GOP Congress members. |
