Interesting surmise, especially after Obama and the media accused Bush of using the war for fear mongering. There is already discussion going around that OBL was killed by his own people so that he can not be taken alive, and there is strong evidence that the photo of the administration sitting there watching the operation unfold was staged. So with all the changing of stories in how the events happened; along with how Obama has consistently lied to us, I believe it was for political gains. The people are mad at Obama, his poll numbers are dropping like a rock, the economy sucks and gas prices are high.... I think he had OBL taken out to try and win back peoples trust.
