Yeah, if Bid Laden turned up alive, everyone would hate Obama for lying. So I doubt the operation took place yesterday. Then again...there were images of that explosion where that chopper crashed so...I dunno. I just don't see how they got the DNA testing done so fast, nor do I see how they took his body and dumped in the ocean so fast.
But honestly, if I was Obama, I might have lied about there being a firefight since it makes Bin Laden out to be a martyr. Probably should've said something like 'he tried to avoid capture, so we pegged him.'
