    Do you guys really buy he was quietly killed in the night, dumped in the sea, and no proof of pictures or anything? I heard several world leaders said Osama had died years ago and this was a relection move by the Obama admin. I've also heard it was to make the American people feel that there was a 'purpose' for the trillions spent for the war.

    I am not sure what happened, but just curious what some of you think? I am confident he is dead but not so sure it was done so in that manner. How the could Osama have been hiding in a gigantic fort in Pakistan all these years but a named Ray Ray gets found in 5 minutes in Compton?

    I just find it odd they didn't post any pictures in 'fear' of retaliation. Wouldn't killing Osama be cause for retaliation? This is the same government that released pics of Saddam dead as well as his sons.

    I believed it initially, I'm not big on conspiracy theories. I completely expected a photograph and I assumed the photograph would be debated as 'real or fake' etc. When Obama admin said they'd release a photo soon then 'after much discussion and consideration, we realized we have to set a better example"... please.

    Also LOL @ he was 'dumped in the sea'. Yeah Im sure

    Yeah, when they killed a high ranking rebel fighter in Iraq, Zarqawi or something, they paraded pictures of his body to the media.. etc. This whole bin laden theory is hilarious at this point.. the tape of him watching himself, it didnt look anything like him, he literally looks different in all the tapes released.

    The sea thing though, isn't new... burying him on the ground would basically create a shrine for his fanbois, and so governments avoid that. Same happened with Hermann Göring, who was cremated and his ashes thrown away in some river, IIRC. But cremation is forbidden by Islam, so this was probably the second best option.

    Dude, talk about random coincidences of all time. I just went to Yahoo and CNN and this story was on the site about how Bin Laden photos are leaked and the CIA is trying to stop them. How random

    Bin Laden death images subject to purge, emails reveal

    US military chief ordered his subordinates to destroy any photographs of Osama bin Laden's body or give them to the CIA

    Eleven days after the killing of Osama bin Laden in 2011, the US military's top special operations officer ordered subordinates to destroy any photographs of the al-Qaida founder's corpse or turn them over to the CIA, according to a newly released email.

    cRaven's order to purge the bin Laden material came 10 days after the Associated Press asked for the photos and other do ents under the US Freedom of Information Act. Typically, when a freedom of information request is filed to a government agency under the Federal Records Act, the agency is obliged to preserve the material sought – even if the agency later denies the request.

    The Judicial Watch president, Tom Fitton, said on Monday the email "is a smoking gun, revealing both contempt for the rule of law and the American people's right to know".

    "Judicial Watch"

    key player in the VRWC going back 20 years, filed 18 harassment law suits against Clinton.

    Funding[edit]

    Between 1997 and 2002 Judicial Watch received $7,069,500 (unadjusted for inflation) in 19 grants from a handful of foundations. The bulk of this funding came from just three foundations –

    the Sarah Scaife Foundation,

    The Carthage Foundation
    , both managed by Richard Mellon Scaife, and

    the John M. Olin Foundation, Inc.,[citation needed] which folded in 2005.[39]

    As of 2010, Scaife remains the group's main contributor.[8]

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_Watch

    A-listers in the funding of the VRWC! Scaife bribed Paula Jones by paying her legal fees.

    the images of a dead OBL would be huge recruiting tools for AQ, etc.

    the government had a good reason to not reveal any graphic details of the action that killed Laden imho. The fear of retaliation was part of the reason, but the bigger concern would be the possible controversy and opprobrium arising from those Muslims countries if those pics were leaked out (like those pics of Sadam being sent to the scaffold)

    what was su ious about the crash? I see Chaffetz and Fox and House Repugs were fabricating another false scandal for their paranoid, ignorant base, but beyond that?

    Do you guys really buy he was quietly killed in the night, dumped in the sea, and no proof of pictures or anything? I heard several world leaders said Osama had died years ago and this was a relection move by the Obama admin. I've also heard it was to make the American people feel that there was a 'purpose' for the trillions spent for the war.

    I am not sure what happened, but just curious what some of you think? I am confident he is dead but not so sure it was done so in that manner. How the could Osama have been hiding in a gigantic fort in Pakistan all these years but a named Ray Ray gets found in 5 minutes in Compton?

    I just find it odd they didn't post any pictures in 'fear' of retaliation. Wouldn't killing Osama be cause for retaliation? This is the same government that released pics of Saddam dead as well as his sons.
    There are "several world leaders" who deny the holocaust. Not sure I would use that as a metric to figure out what to believe or not.

    Bin Laden had money, discipline, followers willing to die to protect him, and hid in a section of the developing world that the West really doesn't have much access to, none of which would apply to "Ray Ray" from Compton.

    Given the way the vast numbers of uneducated dolts in the muslim world went bonkers over a few cartoons of mohammed, I can definitely see why not putting out pictures of a splatified martyr might be a good thing to do.

    I would lastly point out that it was the Iraqi government that put out pictures of Saddam after his death, and no one in the world gave a about the psychopaths that Saddam fathered.

    All in all:

    Meh. I have little reason to doubt the account. If it really didn't happen that way, a secret like that is bound to get out eventually from a participant with an attack of conscience.

    Some might say that the story of Obama bin Laden being turned dead had to happen in order for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to end....Since very few people actually knew what Osama really looked like....I could see the possibility of a con..but Osama would have to already be dead...

    His chemical genocide was on the Kurds, wasn't "his own" tribe.

    draft-evaders dubya/ head/neocons/BigOil DID murder Other People's American Kids in the all-volunteer US military (their kids didn't volunteer) sent to bogus, botched wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
