So it really, really pisses me off, that all of a sudden, after 10 years, we supposedly kill Bin Laden, dump him in the ocean, laud a few special forces for a few weeks, and practically forget about him almost entirely. It just doesn't feel right and, for me, there isn't enough evidence or backstory to corroborate accepting the fact. Could I accept it and get on with my life? Of course. Could I not accept it and get on with my life without coming up with crazy ass conspiracy theories and asking for justice? Of course. But extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and I'm just going to remain skeptical about this for another 50 years, because why the fuck not?

Alright, I'll entertain your little fantasy of skepticism here. Lets say hypothetically that we did just decide to "make up" a strike team attack INVADING A FOREIGN COUNTRY that resulted in killing Osama Bin Laden.
Why did we even announce where the strike happened? In the international community this is a pretty sketchy political move that no other country could have pulled off without major consequences. We could have easily just MADE UP that he was killed in Afghanistan to validate our narrative there.
Why would we do it WHEN we did it? This is the sort of event that can make a politician bulletproof during an election. "We got Bin Laden" announced say October 2012ish and guess who is almost guaranteed reelection? It just randomly happened one day ... that's how this shit works. Remember when they randomly caught Saddam one day in a fucking hole? You think its going to be exciting when they find Gaddafi? Its always mundane, just ask the Germans that Magneto found in Argentina.
