Maybe they captured him but he will be stowed away in some secret prison for intel

I'm not saying we should drag his carcass through the streets like Mussolini or anything, but they better have taken some ROCK SOLID proof of his demise or the tin-foil crew is going to run with this for all eternity (not to mention the OBL loyalist can now claim bullshit)

There is a pic of dead OBL and officials are discussing whether to release it or not.

The last thing the Pakistani government wants is a civil war where most of the population supports the Taliban/Al Qaida. I assume that's why they are so careful in what they say about it. As most of the population doesn't seem to respond badly to his death the government now states more and more that they knew about it. If the population had responded badly they'd probably have denied more, and I assumed that this was agreed on with the US government too.

I wonder if this is why Hillary Clinton had mysteriously disappeared for a week.

A shame India didn't turn that place into a parking lot years ago.

The whole body in the sea thing is simply stupid.

It's interesting that we'd feel the need to stick to Islamic tradition when Islam (the mainstream version of it and not the radical version of which OBL was a part of) pretty much disowned OBL and said that he was not a true Muslim. So who exactly would be upset if we didn't follow Islamic burial rites? I don't get it at all.

You mean the raging lunatics would take a dead body as enough proof?
They'd probably claim that it was a fake body of someone else. Just like you have idiots who believe Obama's birth certificate is fake or that Elvis/Tupac/Hitler/MJ/etc are still alive.

The POTUS is a lying jackass and yet I'm the one that sounds like a jackass?

Gotta love where this country is headed.

yeah, the most wanted man in the world for 10 years, and he wasn't a priority. ok.

obviously, you've made up your little mind and no amount of logic can change it.

I do not know this person everyone calls Osama Ben Laden. I have seen in the media that others believe him to be a bad person. People have claimed that he was the brains behinds many deaths. I do not know this for sure, and the media has a long history of being wrong. Are we supposed to just go out and kill anyone whom we believe to be a terrorist? Homeland Security believes there are lots of terrorists right here in the US. What happened to a trial like we had for Saddam Hussein? We captured him and he had a trial. We could have just as easily killed Saddam. Why is Osama different? Why was it necessary to kill him instead of capture him? Wouldn't the information he had of been important if he was truly the leader of a terrorist group? If some other county believes that you or some other US citizen is a terrorist, should they be allowed to sneak over here and take you out in the middle of the night? Why does our Constitution not work both ways? This is wrong and glorifying over this is what will make our nation weak. This was obviously a political act solely to score points, nothing more. I guess we can all have a beer now while the Arab Countries raise gas prices. Do you think they will mind us coming over and killing him and then mocking him and their religion? If I were them I would double or triple the gas prices. Yes, have another beer.

I didn't say he wasn't a priority. But it's only after he's dead that he was the "top priority". Strange how that changed isn't it?

There are extremists everywhere, including India and the USA. Should we turn the whole planet into dust to exterminate them?

No, I said India should have nuked them and the fact they knew OBL was there living in a mansion, yet did nothing, further punctuates my point.

Replace Osama with Hitler and your argument is just as ridiculous.

I don't buy "buried at sea" for one minute. That body is on ice in the Pentagon basement right now. Claiming "buired at sea" does 2 things: Appeases the Mulsims and the 24 hour burial rule, and prevents a future terrorist temple/rallying point/whatever at the location of bin ladens grave.

Simple, Saddam was in his pajamas hiding in a hole in the ground, cowering like a little girl when forces found him. OBL came out with guns blazing, ready to die for the cause. Amazing you can't tell the difference.

It's funny. A lot of people bash Christians, Muslims, ect for believing in what they do based on faith. Yet when the government tells us something with no evidence...is that any different? Faith that we are being told the truth.
