How to draw this conclusion? Consider all of the apparatas on-hand to make positive identification. Consider that an Islamic cleric was waiting on-board the ship where OBL's body was transported to. Consider the quickness with which it was decided to give him a burial at sea.

This was a hit...(as it should have been)...pure and simple...and the bacon on the bullet thingy is pure rubbish as well.
