The fact that he couldn't turn off his location on his iPhone?
No. Because of the fact that America knows people like you aren't smart enough to identify distractions.

You're assuming that Osama was willing to be taken alive to go to trial. Saddam went to trial because he came out of his hole saying he was willing to negotiate. Osama went out with guns blazing. Trial was not an option for him. And as for the timing, you want to be SURE that you killed the right guy. Take your time, get your ducks lined up correctly by matching DNA, etc. That's when you make the announcement. Now what if they came out and made the announcement right after they killed him and it turned out that it wasn't him after all. What kind of mess would that be?
Sheeple will believe anything once it suits their frame of mind,that's why i don't get mad at the Elites because they know people are dumb as fuck.
Re: Osama dead
So true. Bin Laden was just the face given to 911. The event was orchestrated by forces that seek to push the world in a specific direction. With what we know now about history, the world, our government and all the bullshit lies, I can't believe people are still falling for this smoke and mirrors shit they read and see on tv.

Propaganda at it's finest with Obama reading his script right on schedule...
Benazir Bhutto named Osama bin Laden’s killer before her death
Benazir Bhutto, who was killed in a suicide attack at the end of 2007 stated in November that the Osama bin Laden, the head of the international terrorist network al-Qaida, had been killed. Bhutto claimed that she even knew the man who had killed the prime suspect of 9/11 terrorist attacks in the USA. According to Bhutto’s words, Bin Laden was killed by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh – one of those convicted of kidnapping and killing U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl.
Bhutto released that statement on November 2, 2007 in an interview with Al-Jazeera TV channel. Bhutto spoke in English in the program titled Frost Over the World. However, no one paid any attention to her words. Speaking about the enemies, who did not wish to see her back in Pakistan, she said: “Omar Sheikh is the man who murdered Osama bin Laden.”
The video of Bhutto’s interview to Al-Jazeera can be found on YouTube (click to watch the video). The assassinated Pakistani prime minister says the words about Bin Laden’s killer during the second minute of the interview. She stays absolutely calm when she pronounces the names. More than 600,000 people have already viewed the video.
Correspondent David Frost, who interviewed Bhutto, did not even care to ask more questions about the sensational statement. Frost, who is believed to be an experienced journalist, did not even ask Bhutto when Bin Laden was killed.
Benazir Bhutto’s interview to Al-Jazeera received very little attention from the media. There was practically no newspaper in the world who published the news on its front page, although tens of thousands of people discussed the news for two months. It just so happens that even Al-Jazeera messed it up.
There was no official who commented on the information. Not a word was said from the CIA and the FBI. They did not even lift a finger to reject it. Absolute silence. But the U.S. administration promised a reward of 25 million dollars for Bin Laden’s body, dead or alive.
Benazir Bhutto is now dead. She cannot say anything about her sources of information.

The raid: How it happened
Obituary
In pictures: Bin Laden's life
The raid that killed Osama Bin Laden was revealed first on Twitter.
An IT consultant, living in Abbottabad, unintentionally tweeted details of the US-led operation as it happened.
Sohaib Athar wrote that a helicopter was hovering overhead shortly before the assault began and said that it might not be a Pakistani aircraft.
He only became aware of the significance of his tweets after President Obama announced details of Bin Laden's death.
Mr Athar's first posting on the subject came at around 1am local time (9pm BST).
He wrote: "Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event)."
Soon after, he reported the sound of an explosion, now known to have been US forces blowing-up their damaged helicopter.
"A huge window shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope its not the start of something nasty :-S"
Throughout the raid, Mr Athar was drawing on information from friends in the local area who were also online.

Already this is being described as another huge day for the micro-blogging service.
"Twitter just had its CNN moment", as one American website put it, comparing this event with the first Gulf War, where millions suddenly woke up to the fact that cable news was the place to observe a war unfold in real-time.
Such is the power of this network that it has become the key resource for older media trying to stay ahead of events.
A journalist who does not use Twitter is now like one who abjures the mobile phone.
dot.Rory: first with the news
"The few people online at this time of the night are saying one of the copters was not Pakistani..."
"People are saying it was not a technical fault and it was shot down. I heard it CIRCLE 3-4 times above, sounded purposeful."
US officials stated that the raid took less than 40 minutes, but Mr Athar said there was still a military presence in the area two hours later.
"And now, a plane flying over Abbottabad..."
In his Twitter biography, Sohaib Athar describes himself as: "An IT consultant taking a break from the rat-race by hiding in the mountains with his laptops."
However, his postings during and after the raid reveal a frustration that world events had caught-up with him.
"I guess Abbottabad is going to get as crowded as the Lahore that I left behind for some peace and quiet. *sigh*"
Mr Athar told the BBC's Nosheen Abbas in Pakistan that his tweets has led to a deluge of interview requests from media organisations around the world.
He also said that he was not surprised to be the only person writing about events as they happened.
"I've been tweeting for about 5, 6 years, and been tweeting about Abbottabad because no one really talks about it,
"In fact, not many people use Twitter here. Everyone uses Facebook," he said.
Twitter confirmation
Even before President Obama confirmed the death of Osama Bin Laden, informed tweeters were speculating online about the reason for a hastily-organised White House press conference.
Keith Urbahn, chief of staff to former US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld wrote: "So I'm told by a reputable person they have killed Osama Bin Laden."
While some observers have cited Mr Urbhan's tweet as further evidence that the mainstream media is struggling to keep up with Twitter, the author himself was sceptical.
He wrote later: "My source was a connected network TV news producer. Stories about 'the death of MSM' because of my "first" tweet are greatly exaggerated."
In another tweet, he said: "As much as I believe in rise of "citizen journalism," blogs, twitter etc supplanting traditional media, my tweet isn't great evidence of it."
Revolutionary tool
In the five years since Twitter was created, it has played a growing role in the reporting of world events.
The first glimpse that many people had of the site's potential was in 2009 when a US Airways plane made an emergency landing on New York's Hudson.

No, he was an enemy combatant - there's a difference.
He started planning a week ago, yesterday he gave the final okay to bury him a g.
They buried his body at sea already???
The reason they gave was to honor Muslim traditions.
There's no reason not to give him a Muslim burial. You can't claim moral victory while rolling around in filth.
