Osama Bin Laden Killed A Week Ago?

For 12 days I took in no solid food of any type.  Including that I wrote nothing.  I guess I needed a little break from the keyboard.  Surely, I have enough in my mind just dying to come out, and it will.  However, the news broke in this evening at about 10:30 on the East coast screaming that Bin Laden has been killed.  President Obama's ramped up, but quiet pursuit of the terrorist madman has paid off if we believe the "news" agencies.  First report stated that Bin Laden had been killed when an unmanned aircraft (drones) fired missiles killing 25 men and Bin Laden was believed to have been one of the 25 killed.  Shortly after, the next report said JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) troops went into Pakistan and raided a compound killing Osama Bin laden with one shot to the head.  Just in case you don't know, JSOC teams are a joint team of Navy Seals and Army Rangers.  Their specialty, is close combat within 50 to 100 yards. 

But, wait a minute!  Didn't Fox News report Bin Laden was dead way back when?  Like December, 2001? Or What about the French reporting Bin Laden was dead in 2006?

Or maybe Benazir Bhutto was just speaking out the side of her neck when she said Bin Laden had been murdered by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh in November 2007.

Yeah, well, who's telling the truth?  Bhutto was killed in December 2007.  So, tonight candidate president Obama has shocked those who can be shocked with the news that JSOC has killed Bin Laden.  You decide!

I don't get it. What are you saying that you really believe the Pakistani people? Benazir Bhitto said that no Muslim would have killed her. And a Muslim did kill her.With all due respect, she turned out to be a fool. An educated woman from the Muslim world talking such nonsense in a region that does not approve of women leading anyone.
The Pakistani establishment does not know what is going on on their own soil. Stop believing that pakistan is a regular country like the ones we know of in the West.Pakistan is a feudal country governed by landowners and warlords.Pakistan is a failed state and one that is ungoverneable at best.
I believe thast Osama bin laden was killed by the Navy Seals on the date the president told us.

Bueno Ana, you make a good point. The reason I believe her here, is simply because she was not making an announcement, just stating what she believed was a fact. She says Bin Laden was murdered in such a matter of fact way and not like she is brining news.
Yet, I did post a link to a French news paper that reported Bin Laden dead back in 2006. This information was passed along by the French Secret Service. Initially, I noted Fox News reported Bin Laden dead as far back as December, 2001.
So, this post was not merely based on the words of Bhutto but, from an array of sources, not just the U.S. government 's news releases to the media.
