Story about confirming Bin Laden's identity

This kind of makes me scratch my head.

Like, they didn't know he was in the house ahead of time?
Oh wait, I like how they slip in the part about confirming with DNA

Ex-Navy SEAL who killed Bin Laden says human tape measure was used to confirm identity
quote:
Adm. McRaven told FOX Business’ Neil Cavuto on Tuesday that after Bin Laden was killed he had to personally go and identify the body, in order to confirm it was the right person, because all he knew was that he was very tall. Opens a New Window. O’Neill said they used a sniper to physically confirm his identity.
Like, they didn't know he was in the house ahead of time?
quote:
“The tallest guy we had there was one of our snipers and I think he was 6’2’’ and so admiral McRaven asked him to lay down next to Bin Laden’s body—which he did and that was part of it,” he told Cavuto adding that relatives inside, DNA, and “as many things” as possible were also used to check to make sure it was him.

There was only about a 50% likelihood that OBL was actually inside the compound. So no, they didn't know for sure he was in there.

It was him baw. They captured him alive and brought him underground at WP in Dayton.

Zero Dark Thirty had McRaven in the scene with the dead UBL, but in the film, the chick is the one who identified him.
That movie actually got a lot of things right, but it also got lots of small details wrong.
The Maya character was based on a real, red-haired female agent obsessed with UBL, but, according to some navy seals that I've seen interviewed, the extraction was not that accurate.
Still a good movie. Got robbed of an Oscar over political bullshite bullying.

Anyone who believes Bin Laden was in Pakistan is not a thinker.
Dude was intelligent from all accounts and knew how to hide. He knew the Espionage game and how it worked.
Dude would have been a needle in a universe to find.
But it fits a feel good, "We got him!" narrative.
I never bought it then and this only reaffirms my initial beliefs. 1984.

Seeing as how they canoed his forehead I’m sure some alternate method of ID was required

He probably had multiple plastic surgeries.

At this point is there any scenario that isn’t at least plausible?

People can't accept their reality told to them isn't or likely isn't true.
Can't use simple logic.
The man worked and trained by the USA in Afghanistan that built a network off espionage and staying afoot and step ahead is not going to be caught. Period. Unless he wants to be caught. Total horse shite lies.

I'm no expert, but it makes sense to me when I've heard he had health issues and most likely died several years back.
After seeing eight years of utter hippo shite out of Barack's term, I've grown to view anything from his regime as political theatre. As far as I'm concerned, the entire Osama raid was staged to provide an historic photo opportunity that night for Obama and Hillary. Sad but true.

We have multiple federal agencies implicated in a soft coup to overthrow an elected President, but people still don't want to believe their government would create or make up a narrative to either further some political end or claim a victory.

I’m still of the opinion that he’s buried under a couple hundred tons of rock in Tora Bora. And has been for the past 15-17 years.

OBL is out of the picture. Captured, killed, dead of natural causes, one of those. Even if you think the official story is a disinformation campaign, we wouldn't announce that we got him unless we really did. Imagine if he popped up and released a video bragging about a terror attack after we supposedly took him out.

Trust nothing.
I think the guy is dead. Did we kill him the way the Obama administration stated? I'd like to believe it was similar.

Bin laden was captured alive.
Posted on 5/22/19 at 8:57 pm to HailToTheChiz
I think he died years before we "killed" him.

Yea he had some serious kidney issues if I remember correctly

My buddy was on the Vincent and helped with the disposal. He says they brought him on, swabbed for DNA got two 100 lb barbells from the weight room tied him to his feet and tossed him over. No proper burial and they were damn proud of that.
