I have just seen this on Stuff - I am not a violent/hateful person normally but I really hope that it is true.

Just saw on the news a huge gathering of people outside the Whitehouse celebrating!
Its a good thing but its not going to stop the attacks or retaliation

They've had his body for a wee while now, doing intense DNA screening to ensure it really is him before releasing the news - so I hear.

It's not official until Donald Trump has seen the death certificate
(Saw this on FB and had to steal it)
Personally I don't think it will achieve anything, just a feeling of revenge for America. It won't stop terrorism or fighting..... he still has followers.

Said on the news this morning that they already buried his body at sea - i see a conspiracy theory being born! (Not helping that by posting it 
I'm sure they took DNA but who exactly are they comparing it too? Do they have his DNA on file or did his parents cough up samples for comparison? I understand he has 57 brothers/sisters but i'm not sure comparing sibling DNA is conclusive..
I hope it helps heal the families affected by his actions and there arent any repercussions.

Exactly Bowie! I heard on the radio this morning that they never had his DNA on record so were just comparing it to that of family members that they did have. Then apparently someone was asked to view the body and confirm it was him by sight as well. I'm starting to get a bit sceptical with the whole bury at sea thing

Here's my take on this....
He's either dead, no question of, as there's no way on earth the US would claim they'd killed him if there was the slightest chance they could be wrong.
Orrrrrr they have him alive and have told everyone they've killed him so they can keep him and do what they like with him to try and 'extract information'

They compared the DNA to his sons, which they had on record. Have also done a facial recognition match.
I saw on the news one reason why they may have done the Muslim cleansing and burial was so there were no retalitory attacks from not giving him his last rites. Burial at sea so there would be no shrine.
I'll always be skeptical though, I still don't believe al-Qaeda was wholely responsible for 9/11 and that the US had something to do with it, so we'll see what this brings about.

I heard they did the burial at sea because they thought no one country would claim his body and allow him to be buried there.

I'm glad they got him but it worries me about what is to come now. It's not going to stop terrorism and hatred toward the western world. If anything, it's just added more fuel to the fire. Al-Qaeda aren't guna stop just cause their 'ringleader' is gone. I'm sure they would have gone over scenarios like this already, and Osama would have probably already told them what to do if he were to be killed.
I'm glad I live in NZ right now, earthquakes and all. I certainly wouldn't want to be anywhere near America or Europe for a while.
