I don't think the president would say that he is in fact truly dead if they were not 100% sure. He would look pretty stupid if it turned up that the monster wasn't dead.
That said I'm glad he is dead. Just because he was born human does not mean he should be treated like one. His actions have shown he does not deserve that privelige.
One-eyed Osama pics coming soon...
After some deliberation, the Obama administration has made the decision to show the world photos of Osama bin Laden after he was introduced to the United States Navy SEALs. Like most people who encounter the SEALs and other American Special Ops teams, Osama didn't live to tell about it. The only memories left of the terrorist in the mansion next door are photos. How bad did the 6"4", world's most wanted terrorist look after his encounter with America's finest? We'll be able to see very soon. Ref. Source 8
