    not to be that guy (but being already), did he actually die?

    remember when they announced his death, they tried to pull a bad photoshop? then when they got called out, they just said they threw him at sea. yeah right.

      Best reason I've heard behind that is that they couldn't use his corpse for propaganda because this idiot and two of his buddies canoed it.

        yeah, exactly.

        who does this? and this guy seem to want to be sort of a hero figure, i think that would be easier if he had, you know, proof?

          The point is that they would have wanted to hide the fact that they desecrated his corpse.

          Bin Laden is definitely dead by now. He was an elderly man on dialysis in 2011.

            i get what you mean but that is still strange to me. they did share photoshops of bin laden pretty mangled.

            and they supported him to destabilize the middle east before they knew he would throw a few airplanes at them.

            edit: now that i think of it better they wouldnt let such treason pass. still weird that they didnt share pics just to fucking gloat.
