Osama may well have been too scared to actually shoot himself, but I'd have thought he'd have some poison pill on a necklace or something so he couldn't be captured and beat up, tortured, etc.
choppers landing in his yard and them shooting their way from the 1st to the 3rd floor...
he knew it was coming. He had time to shit himself.
He had time to blow the place if he had chosen to wire it for that.
We can say this - IF IF IF he had shot himself, it's entirely possible that White house would LIE about it. Just like we lied about Tillman, liked about Lynch, etc. paint this amazing heroic picture of events. Tillman was shot in face by friendlies and covered up - what was the story we heard about him capping a ton of mofos? Lynch covered her head, caught and raped - what was the story we were told about her emptying two clips with broken arms?
The fact we had cameras on every helmet but didn't get him being killed on video? Just an announcement of "Geronimo (He's down...)"
barry Mccaffrey reiterated the FACT that Osama had a kill man whose only job it was to cap him before capture.
I still believe he off'd himself or his woman did it. To say "we wouldn't lie about that" would be to ignore the fact we lied about tillman and lynch - FAR smaller stories in terms of importance. They knew they'd find his body and they had this story ready.
