Don tinfoil hat.... Has anybody surfaced the thought that whoever they allegedly buried at sea might not have been OBL and that we have him alive to pump for intelligence? This answers the question that we know for sure that he was at the objective house and we know for sure that we "got" him.
I'm not saying that this is what happened but, if I were the NCA it would sure be the coup. We have OBL for intelligence, the badguys think he is dead, a page of the book is turned in the post 9/11 era and al qaeda and the other crazys don't have a martyr.
I suggested this as well earlier.
Not burying the body within 24 hours is abuse of the corpse.
Do we respect Islam or not? You cannot have it both ways.
The authenticity of the photos making the rounds yesterday is completely independent of the veracity of the claim that OBL was killed within the past few days.
Why do you have to try to make point with such silly connections?
I guess I do want it both ways.
I think it is childish to want to embalm a body in pig's blood, for the only purpose of thumping our chests and needlessly provoking 1/3 of the earth's population.
I also think that a thorough and proper investigation should be performed on the body of a suspect that we "assassinate." Not many investigations can be conducted to completion within 24 hours. And that's that.
The purpose is to ensure he goes to Hell where he belongs (if of course you believe in such a place) or at a minimum is deprived of his 72 virgins (if you believe in virgins).
Because he's the mayor of Sillyland.

Simply this: Its not the U.S. Government's job to send a person to one afterlife or another.
The only reason someone would desecrate his body is to incite muslims who are currently living.
I think they are a myth..... much like bigfoot, loch ness monster, glocks that don't explode, obamas approval ratings and the INGO FAQ's.
I thought I made it clear which type of posts I was referring to as jihad: the immature, provocative ones that serve no purpose in regards to conducting an investigation. Those are just people with a grudge against a religion.
The U.S. Government is not a Muslim funeral home. Bin Laden was a suspect in terrorism crimes. His corpse was evidence. I don't feel that dumping bodies of suspects into the ocean was a prudent method of ending this thing.

And we have been told a million times that we are fighting a War on Terror, not a War on Islam.
Too many reasons for him not to be dead today.
US needs to reduce military presence somewhere.
Pakistan wants to reduce US footprint in Pakistan.
US still wants OBL
Pakistan intel sells OBL out for a fat check and a promise to reduce footprint. Additional condition that OBL killed in operation so he won't talk about Pakistani assistance.
CIA goes in with operation to make sure OBL killed and body removed.
Loose ends at the bottom of the ocean.
Pakistan has deniability.
Obie looks good.
But you've already advocated desecrating the body by keeping it "unburied" longer than their faith allows...as well as performing an autopsy on it.The only reason someone would desecrate his body is to incite muslims who are currently living.
Osama bin Laden has been dead for years.

I'm not sure one would **** them off any less than the other.
