Do you think some of this could have to do with sending Patraeus to the CIA and wanting to 'clean house' before he gets there?
This is something I think could be looming large in the decision to do this now.
the U.S. says it used convincing means to confirm Osama bin Laden's identity during and after the firefight that killed him.

Okay, ummm...."alleged duplicity"!? Alleged!!!? Come on. Surely no thinking person has trusted any Western government in the past 40 years, but to even insert the word "alleged" to placate Western viewers is just absurd.
It doesn't matter whether he's dead or not. The US reaction to such news was appalling. I've spent a long time being ashamed of the United States, but never more so than now. This has gone far too far.
This may be somewhat off-topic, but I do invite you all to review the events of the past and really do some national soul-searching. It won't stop what's coming next, but it might allow you to accept it a bit more gracefully than the way things have been done in the past.

How would they have his DNA "before" they killed him if they "never met" him prior to that?
How did they have samples on "file" to "confirm" his identity?

absolutely correct.
Obama must have found out that
Osama was already dead and the
Bin Laden charade was ongoing and
wanted to correct it. If this had been
an actual SEAL Black Op, do you think
they would have posted images of Obama's
cabinet watching it live ??? It was staged
to give the Pak Op Credibility.
Bin Laden has been dead since 2001
in Tora Bora but the CIA with held that info
to it's advantage and Obama is trying
to fix it. I applaud him for that but he still
doesn't get my vote.

I believe he met his end in Tora Bora also in 2001, and that the actual body is irretrievable and burried under a mountain side collapsed on it.
They very well might have taken some DNA at the time though to 'game' tests now.
I wonder where Patreaus is concerned is if it's concern about him fully knowing the deception and talking to someone like the Rolling Stone Magazine again with details that they would like to get rid of before he takes the helm at Langley?
The only problem though with that line of thinking is why they would place him at Langley?
Unless he perhaps found out about it and has threatened to release details if they don't end the Charade?

they could have used DNA from his father
and his son to make that comparison.

Monday, May 2, 2011Osamas sisters brain : The Boston connection
When Osama bin Laden was shot dead by Navy SEALs, US operatives had bin Laden family DNA samples ready to match against the corpse.
Where did those samples come from?
According to a report from ABC Channel 5, the DNA came from the body of Osama's sister, who died of cancer in Boston at Mass General and whose brain was then subpoenaed by the FBI for precisely this purpose.
We're not sure what goes into subpoenaing human remains, but we'll try to find out.
UPDATE: Sue McGreevey, Mass Gen spokeswoman, says she's received a lot of inquiries and hasn't been able to "turn up any evidence" within the hospital that a bin Laden sister was ever there, or that the FBI ever requested access to any human remains.
Meanwhile, at the FBI Boston field office, Special Agent Greg Comcowich tells us his agency isn't confirming or denying anything about this story.
While it's been reblogged a lot, ABC and its unnamed informant is the only source for this story so far. It looks like the Telegraph added the "subpoena" bit in its reblog; still not sure you can do that with body parts.
Stay tuned.
