50/50? I'll take the other side of your bet. How much you want to wager?
I'm glad he may be and I'm not interested in your bet but consider this:-
If I was running Bin Laden's end of the situation I would have a number of lookalikes for security. After schooling the lookalike I would let it be known where the US could find BL. Only the US doesn't know its a setup with a lookalike.
The US charges in, kills various civilians and announces to the world BL is dead.
Yoohoo trumpets sound !!
Then BL gives another press conference to prove he is still alive, the US has shot more civilians and look who is the big fool yet again!
OK maybe they are'nt quite as devious. Lets hope not.
Shot in the head says the report. Not really much use for interrogation then is he ?
Now come to the burial. Buried at sea says the US. Well that's a major blunder. It will offend and inflame about 1 billion muslims around the world and satisfy many less.
Also the major evidence is destroyed. Do the cops destroy the major bit of evidence in a crime case. Of course not.
The US has a bad habit of bungling just about everything it touches. Their allies look on aghast at their stupidity. Not again they must be saying !!
