When Did OBL Die?

The question that has everybody lining up on one side or another is: Who actually is responsible for the killing of OBL? Obviously, every right-thinking American must admit that America (and the world) is a better place with OBL gone. The WH is positioning itself for the next election cycle. Obama stands to gain the most simply by having been there. He will do his best to remind voters every day that he was the one who found, and gave the order to kill America’s arch villain.

It looks like a successful strategy until we begin to scratch the surface a little. For one thing, there is now evidence to suggest that Obama was backed into a corner; that he was at first reluctant, but was forced to pull the trigger when confronted with the fact that OBL had been located.

It is also becoming quite obvious that the WH had help; that someone in Pakistan not only knew, but assisted.

The speed with which OBL’s body was disposed of will continue to raise questions. Now the latest: Was OBL’s body dumped into the sea, or was it dumped somewhere in the Hindu Kush? Conspiracy theorists will continue to ask: Is bin Laden really dead?

All this back and forth sorely misses main point. The real question that should be asked is when did OBL die?
