"Bin Laden was shot in the face by the SEALs during a firefight after resisting capture. He was buried at sea less than 12 hours later. He was 54".
Seriously???? I am not the only one to comment on this very weird thing. You have got to be kidding me.
"OBL was shot in the face by a Barret 50 cal sniper rifle at close range in the compound. Odd as it may seem it was the weapon of choice for the commandos this mission, b/c they needed an accurate weapon, and 'couldn't afford to miss".
Nobody uses a Barrett .50 for short range work. It is a long range countersniping weapon to kill people hundreds and thousands of yards away.
So they obliterate his face with a .50 cal bullet? Have you seen what happens to a human body hit by a .50? If flies to pieces. You can't get a visual ID that way.
And then, like all Navy war heroes he was buried at sea. Allowing any 3rd party to review the ID match was deemed unnecessary because the SEALS were damn sure they got their man. Right?
Think of all the VALUABLE intel Bin Laden had between his ears.
But they shot in the face with he biggest caliber available and buried him at sea a few hours later???
We didn't do that with KSM or Saddam did we? We held them and got all the intel we could.
WTF? This sounds like a sheeple story.
The timing reminds me of WAG THE DOG, the film. What a joke.
