You've missed the point completely. The likelihood of the event is irrelevant, do you deem that a proper response?

You say "He was buried at sea so nobody would find out what happened to him." Everyone knows what happened to him. Its common public knowledge that the infomation released, whether or not it was the truth, shows what happened; that he was shot and killed.

Why is the U.S. carrying out state sponsored assassinations? Well, it's good publicity, and brings a warm fuzzy feeling to Americans knowing that a leading terrorist is dead, for a start.

Aren't special forces trained to disarm enemies?
Your account just adds more doubt to this whole thing.

Bin Laden died in 2006 and it was acknowledged by Benazir Bhutto.

Nope, she spoke about him in the context of being alive after that Frost interview. She obviously meant to say 'murdered Daniel Pearl', which makes more sense when you think about it.

I know that, but why did Bin Laden occur in her mind at that moment? Things become more complicated with her assassination in the following year.

If the US Navy seals killed Osama as western media 'claims' why in fucks name did they throw the most costliest evidence of the so-called 'greatest man-hunt in the world' into the SEA?

Osama bin Laden has died 9 times. I think the US needed a morale boost by faking the death of this scapegoat in a more believable way.

I think they dumped his body in the sea because they didn't want anyone to find out what happened to him and the Saudis didn't want to take it. Surely the more pressing question is: why is America carrying out state sponsored assassination?

I hope he's being held in the belly of a ship and being fed roaches and urine for a while until he feels like telling us everything he knows

Brutal! I like!

Because they can, and you know this already. A decision is made amongst the higher echelons of US government, with Obama approving it. It's plain and simple. Obviously they are going to target him because of his current background in terrorism. Whats the point in capturing him? Gaining valuable intelligence information on a number of things, and showing the world, including the base of supporters that this spiritual and operational leader of Al-Qaeda has, is now in the hands of Americans. But, i guess a more precise thing was done in assassinating him.

And the reason to dump it at sea seems pathetically weak.
Also why no head cams? That just seems wrong.
And with all the back up and contingencies for this mission why the next seal mission is so poorly conducted and seems almost like a suicide march into an ambush? Still some nasty holes in the story.
And how did they get DNA so quick? That's not even plausible.

DNA was taken from bin ladens family. They were in the US on 911. They volunteered it

But does that mean they should?
