Just In: Osama is dead

[Legbreaker]

Oooooo, quoting a spammer.....

Still, I can see it coming out as a B movie in the near future.

[Cdnwolf]

Starring Leonardo and Angeline...

[Sanjuro]

When I heard he was unarmed, I immediately thought of Unforgiven;
Hackman: "You just shot an unarmed man!"
Eastwood: "Well he should have armed himself."

[Matt Wiser]

That's a very good line....and since there were AKs in the room, maybe UBL was trying to go for one when he got double-tapped.

Btw, some sites are saying that the weapon used to eliminate UBL was the HK-416.

Free steak and doggie treats for life for the German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois that accompanied the raiders, I say.

I heard a few days ago that UBL was actually going for a weapon when he was killed. How true that is given the previous statement that he was cowering behind his wife.....
My guess is that he simply looked at a disposable plastic picnic knife that just happened to be in the room, which was just enough justification to warrant a bullet to the forehead. Given his reputation, etc I doubt it would have taken much more than that for the trigger to have been pulled.

From quotes I've read from US politicians who have seen photos of OBL's corpse the bullet that killed him entered one eye and exited his ear. Now that's shooting!

To be a shot like that, it would have had to been an angle shot, and would have been a left eye to right ear, or vice versa.

Though honestly, there are still numerous different iterations coming out of what happened, I doubt we will truly know, but I have to link this, if only for the chuckle.
