What happened right before the OBL event?
http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/1093.html
My opinion is that there were multiple reasons:
(1) the fake birth-certificate was backfiring;
(2) troops in Pakistan were causing problems;
(3) the Guantanamo trials were not going over;
(4) enthusiasm for the "war on terror" is waning;
(5) too many are being killed by predator drones;
(6) his poll numbers were falling into the toilet;
By now declaring that Osama has been killed, he
~(1) wiped the birth-certificate issue off the board;
~(2) created enthusiasm for having troops in Pakistan;
~(3) calmed criticism of using torture at Guantanamo;
~(4) rekindled public toleration for the "war on terror";
~(5) distracts from killing 140 innocents for each target;
~(6) bumps his poll numbers, at least for the time being.
What he and his staff did not anticipate was that this kind
of blatant fakery is something that a large segment of the
public can see through and has the potential to backfire.
If they are willing to stage a White House photograph that
includes the President and the Secretary of State watching
a fake event that they could not have seen, all bets are off.

It is entirely possible that Bin Laden died in December 2001. It is not proven on the available evidence.
It is entirely possible that Bin Laden (or a version of Bin Laden) died in May 2011. It is not proven on the available evidence.
My own view, as stated throughout this thread, is that the most important deep political question is not whether Bin Laden died, but why the American President decided to kill the legend of Osama on May 2, 2011?
WHY NOW?
This question matters regardless of whether Bin Laden died in December 2001, May 2011, is still alive, never existed, etc etc etc.
Why has Obama decided to declare, with full fanfare, that this impotent, iconic, phantasm has been ritually slaughtered by American heroes at this moment in time?
Many of us on this thread have drawn attention to the sloppy nature of the production. Indeed, I've recorded some of the original official MSM narrative in this thread, so that we can watch it unravel in real time. And unravelling it is, at a breakneck speed.
It is important that we continue to investigate and unpick the officially presented "evidence" to discover what really happened, and why this charade has been played now.
As to when Bin Laden died, you may well be correct. But none of us knows for sure.
Presumably, Obama did it now for the same reasons he released his birth certificate now; for the same reasons he shuffled his cabinet/CIA now. And I'm sure if you looked closely enough, you'd find other things he has done now. I don't know precisely why he's doing them, but I do know they are of a single piece of cloth. Perhaps it's just the beginning of Campaign 2012.
