Sunny told me that he was dead just before I left about fifteen minutes ago, so it's true. It took an awful lot of "our troops" and a bloody long time to kill him though. Years ago in Kenya I witnessed the scene just after an infantry platoon armed with SMLEs and Stens ambushed and killed a "general" (all mau mau leaders were generals) thought to have been involved in the killing (by burning, burying or eating depending on who told the tale) Gray Leakey.Well, we got him all right, also all of his vicious henchmen, his disgusting women folk and proto killer children. I heard later that there were 48 altogether, and our lads went around afterwards and made sure that everyone was dead. I was seventeen at the time. We were aware that there might be other mau mau in the area, so we left quickly, confident that we had avenged the death of an Englishman in true military fashion.

However many old or not so old wicked men we kill, new ones will always spring up, and so will the young lads sent into harm's way to kill them and learn that shooting a baby in the head is, perhaps, really doing it a kindness.

 
Yep. Good news for sure. Just as I will never forget what I was doing on 9/11/01 I will surely remember this day as well. Credit goes to the men on the ground.

 
Still waiting on comfirmation pic or it didnt happen.
Why would they do the "burial at sea" thing? it just sounds fishy to me.

But I sure would like to know that he is dead, but with no proof, it can sound too good to be true. :unsure:

 
There will probably be several conspiracy theories just because of the fact he was buried at sea. They did it so that his followers cannot create a shrine of worship. I tell you what, he became the worlds most expensive fish food.

Not intended, but realized. Still fishy, I am just wondering about the fact that we don't know much about what happened. I realize that it is not a good idea to broadcast information that the wrong people could get a hold of. But, I have not heard or seen enough proof of identification. They could have brought the body to a lab or something for further study of distinguishing marks, scars, etc.

 
A friend of my boyfriend called him last night to tell us the news, and so we looked it up right away. Apparently they did a DNA test, and he was a match. Soooo.... can we finally leave Iraq now?!?!

Oh, and I don't usually say things like this, but... HOORAY! HE'S DEAD!! WOOHOO!!! :punk:

It goes to show how much I know. :lol: :rolleyes: DNA test is good enough for me. Good that he is dead. What's next?

 
In case anybody was wondering how they match the DNA, Osama had a sister living in the states that past away from ovarian or brain cancer(or did she?), they removed her brain and supposedly preserved it just for this very reason. By matching Osamas DNA with hers, they were able to confirm it was a match.

Source was ABC news, plus other reports on the internet on DNA matching. Does seem odd they would do it that way.

The brain was preserved and tissue and blood samples taken from it were used to compile a DNA profile, ABC News reported.

Here is the main link where ABC news talks about using his sister as a DNA match, it will run several videos consecutively:
