I see the major news sites are starting to sound more confident about this......but...how would they know?
They say they've gotta run a DNA test to confirm...but where'd they get his DNA to provide a basis for comparison anyway?
and what sources? everyone seems to be saying "from sources" in their articles...I'd be curious to see what these are.
Exciting times, I just hope they're right and things doesn't get lulled into some false sense of security.

*** UPDATE *** This is the result of a U.S. action in Pakistan, killed by U.S. personnel, and that the United States has bin Laden's body.

*** UPDATE 2 *** This is, by the way, the eighth anniversary of President Bush's 2003 speech on an aircraft carrier with the banner, "Mission Accomplished" behind him.

Umm, they got his DNA from his body. They get the comparison DNA from family members - he's got a lot of them. They look for specific familial markers...

UPDATE 3 - Apparently due to action on the ground, which means we were running covert ops on the ground in Pakistan (big surprise there).

:smirk: Interested you asked but since you did my 2cents.

How many years, how many lives have been lost? All these petty policing acts by the good olde' US of A, got to love 'em :up:

Look, I don't mind if a world police force, who by their charter rid the 'silent majority' (raises hand self) of all this dead wood.

Truly I don't. I figure they do us (again the majority) a favor much like this damn spellchecker :olo: :olo:

Funny the other day I was reading an article on evolution and human efforts to extend life (on paper and not the 'net' so it has some credence :olo: ). It was funny to contemplate, while we humans strive for life extension (read immortality) good old nature has way of balancing the scales, how many bums on seats (people on this small globe in the void of space/time).

So I ask, all this loss of life; for what?

Somehow, somewhere someone is watching :ninja:
Me, just happy to breathe and watch on, and yes I know there will be some that flame, well, get a life :p

If this is true two things will happen:
