Waiting for the media to ask the question...
Edited on Sun May-01-11 11:02 PM by Kevin Spidel
If we knew in August his location. Took him out with a drone/firefight in Pakistan last week. Let's revisit that whole Iraq war thing again? Oh, wait...

On edit: Drone attack, followed by a firefight. Still... an entire war.

President Obama said that on Sunday, a small team of U.S. operatives launched a “targeted assault’’ on a compound in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad where months of intelligence work had established that Mr. Bin Laden was living. Mr. Bin Laden was killed after a firefight, and the troops took custody of his body.

8. This is a breaking story. The "one week ago" was stated by the media
I can tell you that I heard it on MSNBC.

It is proving to be wrong, but that doesn't mean it wasn't reported as such. It was.

2. I'm guessing "his location"
doesn't mean "145 Hidden Bunker Lane."

10. MSNBC and CNN both said the same thing
Neither is still saying it, but they did for a time.
