In fact, while President Obama was speaking, Fox News was still running a ticker that said 'Osama Bin Laden killed a week ago.' Now normally, if it were just Fox News with this theory, I might shrug it off but every news channel was reporting that he had been dead for days and the US had his body. Now the news says that Bin Laden was buried at sea and no country would take his remains.
If you google it, a lot of links to the 'Osama dead one week ago' have been broken, but there are message boards rampant with questions on about the conflicting reports. I just read one story on TIME's website that said the DNA evidence was taken from the body before the burial at sea and it's still in process, and they didn't want to bury Bin Laden for fear of a shrine to him by his people (which makes sense).
I am not trying to make a big conspiracy, I am just saying that the whole thing sounds pretty shady to me. I don't think we'll ever really know what happened. I just hope another videotape doesn't surface with Osama holding a paper up from the future, in the future.
I hope, for all of the people who were killed in 9/11, for all of the military who selflessly gave their lives (Canadians, Americans and allies), for all of the civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan who died, for all of the strife and heartbreak suffered by families of the victims-- that Osama Bin Laden's death gives hope for peace, and gives some closure to the immense grief he has caused.

I dont get it...why would they wait a week? What purpose did it serve?
Instead of announcing this in primetime for all the country to see, Obama instead called a hasty address that went live after 11 PM on a Sunday night and missed a huge part of the audience he could have had?
Why is there a conspiracy behind EVERY damn thing these days. Its so annoying.
