My idiot brother said "He should have been dragged back and crucified in New York."

Niiiiiiice.

Anybody who would doubt his death due to a lack of photos would just as much doubt that the photos were real had they been shown. We didn't need photos of Hitler to know he was dead. The only reason Saddam's sons' pictures were released was because Iraqis were scared shitless that they'd rule again. I can accept this decision just fine.

I'm sure lots of people would just love to see that as well. The way this is being handled is quite practical, even if it doesn't satisfy the American Cowboy sense of vindication and being able to piss on their enemy's corpse.

Another thing a few of us will get revel in when he eats his words.

Call the Donald!

Yes, it's totally consistent. There is absolutely nothing to gain by showing the photos, except to convince those that don't believe it. And who cares about them? If they think there was a huge conspiracy involving the top levels of military command, and a staged mock raid at a "mansion" near a Pakistani military academy rather than in the mountains near the Afghan border (which would have been MUCH easier), then they already are tin foilers and wouldn't believe the photos anyway.

No, better to just erase him completely.

Any takers from the Patnet Libs, that Obama shows that damn photo before November 7th 2012?

I mean Denis Miller, or Alec Baldwin hasn't demanded to see anything from Obama yet.

I heard a disturbing rumor that Bin Laden ghost wrote Obama's first book. Perhaps shrekgrinch can investigate this and report back.

And as long as he is truly dead, I don’t even care myself. Good riddance.

For someone who "don't even care" you certainly expend a lot of words on it, and how Obama is to blame for.... not killing him? Or something....

shrekgrinch says

I think everyone just wants to believe we got the fucker and that’s that. Can’t say I blame them. And as long as he is truly dead, I don’t even care myself. Good riddance.

Ah, is he truly dead, or just a little dead? Very, very dead? Ore just super duper dead? Dead & all that? I'm with the deathers, want to see the long form of the death certificate... with the residue from Afghanistan heroin poppies on it.

Photo or no photo, Obama is in trouble with his fellow comrade Fidel:

I think he’s dead, like I said. But if you have doubts then by all means express them.

You didn't answer the question.

There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.

So which is it?

If it were up to Michael Moore, there wouldn't be any controversy over a "photo." He's criticizing Obama for not doing the "right thing" by providing a legal trial for OBL. "This guy was a mass murderer, no doubt, but even he deserves his day in court." "What we did was an execution, an assassination ...."

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/05/05/moore_bin_laden_suffered_execution_should_have_put_him_on_trial.html

Amazing that you suddenly agree with Michael Moore.

Who is agreeing with Michael Moore? Simply posting a news item for your enjoyment.

it was kinda not needed to do a drop and go when all you needed to do is destroy the place from afar....... Unless, someone wanted to gather physical proof .. and wanting proof is totally logical ... so drop and shoot and go .. done. .... And then, hmmm, share absolute proof with a chosen few,,,, hmmmm,,, well, I'm still totally ok with that. I don't take any issue with the mission until I look at the whole deal like this:
Plan: Go in to kill target and retrieve proof
Action #1: went in and killed target
Action #2: took body away from landing zone
Action #3: took pics and vid for proof (simply taking his head would have ben much easier) and plan to not use as proof.
Action #4: disposed of body in a true islamuslamic way so as not to offend some crazy arab Fers that hate us.

It was up until #3 that I was all good with things. I dont care what pics are classified and what aint. Do not care. I don't care to see them myself. Pics lie as good as film of the falling trade center. I do not think OBL changes one thing from our mission, but he may play a role from the arab side. Anyways, there was no logic in gathering up the target just to give a respectful burial at sea. If anything else was garnered from gathering up the dead target, then I would like to know what it was. If nothing extra was gained, then he should have been dismembered and charbroiled in the courtyard at that home. To go kill him is ok, but to then go out of our way to meet the crazy arab way of body disposal is a little tuffer to grasp for me.
So, I agree with following through with Bush's mission. I agree with shooting him super dooper dead from point blank to make double sure, and driving a cross through his heart too. But, I just do not agree with the whole respecting some arab puke coward babyraper with proper disposal. A wood chipper would have been great disposal. For added flair, a wood chipper aimed over a pig pen so the swine would dine on the chippings. Yep, that would set the pace for the next round.

My plan: After the target was dead he would have been flown around under one of those copters, hanging from a 200' rope, tied around the ankles .... just drifting in the breeze of arabia ..... taken on a tour of each military base ..... and you can never tell, some of those folks over there may think it's SuperMohamad taking flight once again. Anyways, after every American Warrior that wanted to see the dead target was able to do so, I would then bring along the family of Dan Pearl(sp), or the family of the "lets roll" guy, and let one of them cut the rope and let the target fall right onto that golden arab bubble they built on the temple mound in Isreal. Ahhhh ... now THAT would be awesome.

No excuse for giving honor to the target. none. There was no uniform, there was no declaration of war, there is no call to give quarter or respect. The target was not a soldier, he was a coward. Each and every one of those freaks chanting about blowing up Christians in exchange for virgins should met the same fate they handed to Dan Pearl.

My conspero theroy: He was not killed. He was taken to be waterboarded to get more info. He will then be put in the witness protection program for his safety when he has been drained of info. He's harmless. You see, OBL didn't actually kill anyone .... no more than Manson did .... like Manson, all he did was suggest to others what would be a good idea. And, like Manson, OBL found stupid people that followed him for the good drugs and sex. Anyone see any connection there?

Are you trying to say that Charlie Manson & OBL are one and the same? They do kind of look like each other, IMO.

Uh, no….dead IS dead, period.
Then again, you libby types can’t even get on the bandwagon about whether someone is alive or not…given your unwavering support of the genocide of the unborn these almost 40 years now…so your confusion makes sense.

Lighten up and watch The Princess Bride sometime.... It might make even you laugh.

The thing is, I've seen dead people. I've seen dead people with holes in their body, and with parts missing. It's not like on the teevee... not like people on CSI. A real person who is actually dead isn't a pretty sight.

People who are dead in coffins, at viewings - well, they're made up to look as lifelike as possible. Unfortunately, many people believe that they need to see the body to have "closure."

I'm not one of them. I don't need to see the dead person to believe that they're dead. The nut jobs out there might be under the impression that they need closure, but that's because they're crazy and probably haven't seen dead people up close. Or because they lack human feelings (or at least pretend to).

shrekgrinch says

As long as he [Bin Laden] is dead, I don’t care too much if Obama is scamming us about how/when. But I do love pissing all over the Obama Kool-Aide drinkers’ parade though.

You do realize that the Kool-Aide drinkers you think that you're making fun of don't really care if you're into golden showers, don't you? Just askin'
