This is the least convincing argument I have heard that the Yanks didn't really get Bin Laden.
They had ENORMOUS incentive TOO kill Bin Laden. If they hadn't, they'd have had to put him on trial, and he would have spent weeks or months spouting his bullshit to the media and rallied thousands of extremists to his cause.
Islam requires that muslims be buried within 24 hours of his death, the Yanks had to do this to avoid the ire of prominent muslims who argue that even a monster should have his body treated with respect. And finally it was at sea because America didn't want to give extremists pilgrims a burial site to rally too.
These are all the most sensible, logical parts of the whole thing. That you point to them as evidence that America didn't get Bin Laden indicates that you don't have a very strong grasp of the situation.
