Osama Bin Laden is probably not dead
- Robert Rojas

To be honest, I really don’t believe Osama Bin Laden is dead! They have been trying to catch him for ten years now, and sources say President Bush had the opportunity to catch him back then, but didn’t want to. My point is how did “all of a sudden” they just got him?

I mean big-up’s to President Obama because I love him, and I’m so proud that he did what he did. People always complain how Obama hasn’t done anything, but here’s a proven fact that he’s done something. He had pathetic Donald Trump on his head, but he is for sure telling everybody off just like it should be! Obama is a man of his word in my eyes, but the problem is they think change is supposed to happen overnight. It isn’t nor will it because no matter what president comes into office, nothing is going to change when they want it to be. It’s just not possible.

But, I really believe that, whether Osama’s dead or not, this will add a lot more fuel to the fire! The terrorists are going to retaliate and something like September 11th is going to happen again! It will be impossible for them to just not do anything. Our government needs to watch its back because they’re about to be hit hard.

I’m glad Osama’s dead if he really is though. It’s been a long time coming.

i cant speak on the behalf of osama death, but cant nobody really say he's dead or not because they was not there to see for themselves. now recently on the news, they said osama's wife and daughter was on the phone with pakistan military leaders. and now pakistan is planning an attack on the new york railroads. to me i can believe that osama is dead, because why would pakistan just plan an attack on the railroads. there had to be a reason why osama did what he did on 9/11. i can honestly say i dont belive osama is dead because where they claim they killed him, was about 10 minutes from the pakistan military. im pretty sure pakistan would have found some way to realize the plane the us military made was there in front of the mansion. im not choosing sides but theres a possible chance that osama really is dead, and theres a possible chane osama is not dead. but i give obama his props for his decision because he was under a lot of pressure. but only God knows if it was osama or not.

i agree with the thought that osama is dead but he has been in office for two years and we have been at war for ten if anyone should get the credit it should be the people that worked so hard to get us that far regardless if they were working on it at the time

They didn't find him "all of a sudden." 3-4 years ago: US finds out about bin Ladens personal courier (Abu Ahmad). 2007: US finds the name of the courier. Summer 2010: US locates Abu Ahmad when he calls someone who was under surveillance. This allows them to be able to now track Abu Ahmad. August 2010: US observes Abu Ahmad going into bin Ladens compound (though they had no proof at the time that this was bin Ladens location). February 11, 2011: US was convinced a “high-value target” was hiding in the compound. You know the rest. So, wasn't quite "all of a sudden"
