The difficult part was completely avoiding civillian and American casualties, as the building being raided was a fortified structure in a dense urban area.

they had facial recognition once they were inside and he was resisting...former colonel friend of mine says it was probably bin laden that used the woman as a shield, he wouldn't surrender, so they shot him in the head and then "tapped" his body (meaning a 2nd shot to make sure he was deceased)

Well they had to bury him in one day to comply with muslim burial ritual. They also said it would be difficult to find a country to take the body. And also a burial at sea doesn't leave a grave to become a shrine for fanatics.

this isn't a war vs. Islam...muslims are to be buried w/ in 24 hours of death...may as well bury him at sea so there is no "shrine" for evil people to go to

^barely beat me to it

no burial place= no shrine erected in his honor

5/2/2011 10:06:17 AM

Huhuhuh she said erected

5/2/2011 10:07:04 AM

I think it was because there wouldn't be a shrine for him. Who knows though? I haven't seen that theory anywhere else yet.

5/2/2011 10:07:40 AM

some lady on cnn just said that while burial at sea isnt the preferred method of burying under Islam rules, its not prohibited. Usually it applies to muslims who died at sea

Glenn Beck said he hoped the team who killed him had bacon bits with them.

He also said that he should have been ground in a meat grinder with pork.

5/2/2011 10:26:11 AM

^^^^ $1.00/gallon gas ?

5/2/2011 10:27:25 AM

It's good that he died that way.

No shrine, no judicial can-of-worms, no last words, no dignity, no debate, no exhanging hostages for prisoners, no chance for buzzkill contrarians to offer sympathy for the caged devil *cough*mcdanger*cough*.

5/2/2011 10:27:35 AM

When I was watching the news last night, this is all I could think of. Obama is ghostface

5/2/2011 10:28:40 AM

If they took him alive I'd imagine that every sympathizer in that part of the world would grab a white person and threaten to cut their head off on the internet unless he was released.

5/2/2011 10:29:00 AM

Nice pics of newspapers around the county

^^^ well played

5/2/2011 10:30:33 AM

Would've been nice if they shot him in the stomach, taken him out somewhere remote and let him suffer till he died.

5/2/2011 10:31:32 AM

no- if they have family members DNA, they can show that the person killed was likely related- there is no "definitely" in this unless they have his DNA to compare it to. Not trying to say he wasn't killed (I don't think this would have gotten as far as it has with misinformation), I just don't like seeing more people spouting off false information

5/2/2011 10:49:14 AM

As far as the public is concerned, the 99.XX percentage chance it was him via DNA is good enough.

If I had Osama's body I'd dispose of it Bricktop style (from Snatch), i.e. let a bunch of pigs eat him.

Any remains left from that I'd burn with the pigs' poop.

it isn't that high with relatives- it is that high when you are comparing your hair to blood at a scene

it could have been his brother, son, uncle, etc... all would show that they were related- that sort of dna test is not definitive. It will help in proving, but you can't say it is the end all be all

5/2/2011 10:53:45 AM

Then we can turn the pig poop into electricity like in Mad Max: Byeond Thunderdome and end our dependence on arab oil.

glenn beck is such an idiot...


everyone knows that bacon bits aren't real bacon, geez

5/2/2011 11:18:48 AM

they should have let the epic meal time guys prepare his body for the funeral

5/2/2011 11:19:37 AM

^^ha that's what his co-host said! (note: i don't typically listen to glenn beck but i wanted to hear some talk radio about this stuff today when i ran to the grocery store)

5/2/2011 11:23:12 AM

I saw FUCKING YAY release the pics. Here's an article about it.

For many, saying he's dead is good enough. Thousands more need closure and certainty of it.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2011/05/white-house-officials-debate-releasing-photographs-of-bin-ladens-corpse-1.html

Quote :

"The Obama administration has photographs of Osama bin Laden’s dead body and officials are debating what to do with them and whether they should be released to the public, officials tell ABC News. “There’s no doubt it’s him,” says a US official who has seen the pictures and also reminds us that OBL was 6’4”. The argument for releasing them: to ensure that the public knows and can appreciate that he's dead. There is of course skepticism throughout the world that the US government claim that it killed bin Laden is true. The argument against releasing the pictures: they’re gruesome. He has a massive head wound above his left eye where he took bullet, with brains and blood visible. In July 2003, the US government released photographs of Saddam Hussein’s dead sons Uday and Qusay Hussain but not until after they’d been touched up by a mortician, making them look not quite real. - Jake Tapper "
