Hello /x/. This is a conspiracy thread:

So, Osama was taken out in a mansion he's been in for five years. I think it would be naive to think that we didn't know where he was when the Pakistani government knew. Especially because he hasn't been on the run in the past five years.

It was a political assassination. He was just a mere figurehead...he had no operational functionality, especially with his poor health.

Also, the mission was to kill, not to capture:

So, /x/ -

Why now? What does the US government have up their sleeve? This whole things seems incredibly fishy to me.

There will be retaliation.
