post a pic of a "real" Christian
i don't know any.
Show us all where he acted like he delivered the kill shot.
Link it.
Barry pretty much did the right thing here. Sent soldiers into his house to put a bullet in his head, took his body, did DNA testing to confirm it was him, gave him some last rights (i guess) then feed him to the fishies. Showing picture is a joke and not needed. USA should be better than that. It's obvious these plans were in the making for a long time. Hopefully Barry will turn the page quickly and not this up.

seems like everyday a new story emerges
imo if this continues, the extremists would start idolizing OBL like CHE, and start tatoo his face on their bodies and , obl shirts....
some ppl are arguing why didnt USA arrest the clown and take him to the international crimes court, then whats the point of supporting legal system if your not going to use it and start shooting ppl off, then doesnt that mean we are not better then the terrorists?
What do you mean, "start"?
President Obama decides not to release "graphic" bin Laden photos
WASHINGTON — President Obama declared Wednesday that "you will not see bin Laden walking on this earth again" but said he would not release photos of the terrorist leader's corpse as proof that he is dead.
"It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence, as a propaganda tool," Obama told CBS' 60 Minutes in an interview to be broadcast Sunday. "You know, that's not who we are. You know, we don't trot out this stuff as trophies."
Obama's decision put an end to two days of speculation about whether the White House would release photos of the dead al-Qaeda leader or other images from the compound where he was shot on Monday or his subsequent burial at sea.
Although CIA Director Leon Panetta on Tuesday told NBC Nightly News that he didn't think there was any question that "ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public," White House press secretary Jay Carney said Obama "held this opinion very firmly."
The White House has said repeatedly that there is ample evidence that Osama bin Laden is dead: from photos, DNA sampling and facial recognition technology. "There are going to be some folks that deny it," said Obama, alluding to conspiracy theorists. But "there's no doubt that bin Laden is dead," he said. "So we don't think that a photograph in and of itself is going to make any difference."
Reaction to his decision was mostly positive. "If there was a serious doubt out there, if people were claiming he was still alive, that (would be) different," said former 9/11 Commission chairman Tom Kean, a Republican. "But it seems to me that everyone is in agreement that he's dead. So particularly if it's graphic, I don't see the necessity of it."
Carie Lemack, whose mother Judy Larocque died aboard American Airlines Flight 11 on 9/11, said, "There are people out there who are going to continue to demand proof, but I don't think that releasing the photos would give them the proof. I want to make sure nobody else dies because of this man."
Lemack plans to attend today's ceremony at Ground Zero in New York City, where Obama will lay a wreath at the site of the World Trade Center towers. Former president George W. Bush declined Obama's invitation to join him, citing a desire to stay out of the spotlight. Obama, who will not make public remarks, plans private meetings with relatives of 9/11 victims and first responders.
In Congress, the heads of the House and Senate intelligence committees also said they support keeping the images classified. "I don't think that the timing is such that something incendiary is the right thing to do." said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairwoman of the Senate committee. Said Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., head of the House panel: "I don't want to make the job of our troops serving in places like Iraq and Afghanistan any harder than it already is."The risks of release outweigh the benefits.
Conspiracy theorists around the world will just claim the photos are doctored anyway, and there is a real risk that releasing the photos will only serve to inflame public opinion in the Middle East. ... Imagine how the American people would react if al-Qaeda killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the Internet. Osama bin Laden is not a trophy – he is dead and let's now focus on continuing the fight until al-Qaeda has been eliminated." But opinion was not unanimous. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called Obama's decision "a mistake."
"The whole purpose of sending our soldiers into the compound, rather than an aerial bombardment, was to obtain indisputable proof of Bin Laden's death," Graham said. "I know bin Laden is dead. But the best way to protect and defend our interests overseas is to prove that fact to the rest of the world," he said.
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin also disapproved. She tweeted: "Show photo as warning to others seeking America's destruction. No pussy-footing around, no politicking, no drama; it's part of the mission."
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., had another idea: keep the images under seal for a period of time, maybe 10 years, and then make them available. "The free flow of information is not just a matter of good government, but a necessary part of our democracy," Nelson wrote in a letter to Obama.
Obama's decision to withhold the images came as the White House also stopped releasing details of the dramatic raid on bin Laden's compound. One day after officials corrected misstatements by counterterrorism czar John Brennan, who had said bin Laden had been armed and that his wife had been killed, Carney said no more details about the raid would be released because the methods used by the Navy SEALs in the operation are top-secret and that secrecy must be maintained for possible future raids.
"In terms of the operational details, we have gotten to the point where we cannot cross lines because of the necessity for preserving the methods and operational techniques and capabilities of the kinds of forces that were used in this case," he said. "We've gone to the limit of our ability to do that and still maintain some of the things we need to maintain and be kept secret."

If you can't accept that Pat Dollard.com doesn't represent a conservative viewpoint that many conservatives would readily agree with, I'm not sure what to say.
That seems to me like attempting to claim Fox News is actually fair and balanced.
I don't think that "conservative" is some monolithic moniker that means that all conservatives think alike, but I can definitely say that this website has what 99% of people would call a "conservative" viewpoint.
LOL Drudge report.
I think he kept them sealed just to make Drudge a liar.
Excellent. I'll be sure and put www.workers.org in my enlightened progressive bookmark folder. I'm sure they present a liberal viewpoint that many liberals would readily agree with.![]()
My breakfast burrito this morning was amazingly tasty.
Most people would recognize that website as having a "liberal", if somewhat extreme, website.
My point was that those are the kinds of websites that generate no small amount of "new" ideas or spin that later get taken up by more moderate/mainstream sources.
Do you really find this so hard to believe?
I dont necessarily find it hard to believe. But I do find it difficult to label them as conservative or liberal sites since they have very little main-stream content. Extreme is extreme.
Pat Dollard is Pat Dollard. Pat Dollard is not mainstream conservatism regardless of how badly you want him to be. BTW, neither is Fox News.

I love these fake facebook updates.
I think before Osama was killed, everyone kinda fell asleep at the thought of more attacks this September. But they found the targets were to be L.A. , Chicago, NY, and Washington
the materials and computers the govt lay to claim, whats the chances of them using that info against its own ppl to conspire another war?
Ok, but there were no operational plans found that we know of yet, so we don't know if Al Queda, or any of its affiliate groups, had the strategic capability to strike...might of been a pipe dream for all we know..
....well, if they could connect them to Syria or Iran I wouldn't put it past them...
i wonder how many different version side of the story is the govt going to bring out?
im very skeptical now, didnt they announce last year osama had some serious health issue? seems like in the raid they didnt find any of that medicine or equipment that he needed...
since his dead now, i assume they can fabricate anything post body in the sea
