What do you expect from him, he's a known liar!!!

Edit: I'm surprised he didn't say he shot him dead!

I heard him say it too.

Yeah, he said the hit went down today. Interesting...

Interesting that he mentioned G.W. as well.

What is it? have they had the body for a week, did they take a week to confirm the ID or not?

Glory hog. He was probably informed this morning that we got him, and knew nothing about anything prior.

He said today.

The "week ago" ... who knows where that came from.

Speech was probably written a week ago (day of the killing) and they decided to hold off until positive ID.

I don't personally smell a rat on this one.

If something tragic happens as a result of "him giving the order to kill Bin Laden", will this prompt him to change his story afterwards?

According to my dad who is the CEO of a company that does audits of crime labs nationwide for the FBI, about 6-8 hours if priority (I'd call Osama priority) so it's possible

It is kind of a big slip up, no?

I doubt it could be kept secret for an entire week; think of all the parties involved.

What lab equipment is needed and what is the chance that the strike team had that with them?

The word I am hearing from a retired member of one of the military groups involved is that Obama's timeline is more accurate. Killed within last 24 hours with CIA lawyers on-scene so they had hopes of taking him alive. Recon mission within village to have eyes on compound one week ago.
