This Pakistani tweeted about a helicopter flying overhead...

13 years later there would probably be widespread protests on college campuses condemning the US for this atrocity

how convenient that they threw his body into the ocean with no proof they killed him or anyone.

It was a pretty surreal thing and I'm still pretty fascinated by this raid. I'm not really a larper type or one to worship special operations, but to the extent I'm interested in that community it mostly stems from that night. A common story I'm sure.

Just the coolness of all the effort and failure that went into it, and how it must have felt for those involved (both directly and otherwise).

his death was confirmed by dna testing

OBL had outlived his usefulness to the powers that be and BHO needed a political win going into the 2012 election

you will never be able to convince me that pakistan didnt know exactly where he was and would not have sold him out on a moment’s notice to the Americans

it is unanimous amongst those that saw the body that OBL had no face left

We had no power that day due to the 4/27 storms. I heard the news from my sister who lived in Virginia at the time. I turned on the battery powered radio and listened to talk radio coverage of it.

I also missed Cam Newton getting drafted first over all.

Deep down it probably broke Obama's heart.

ETA: He was going into a re-election year.

Assuming they did kill him, not a chance in hell they actually did this. His body is in a box in a CIA compound somewhere
