Anyone can copy paste with some semblance of conversation. MIT/PhD……more like a sh%t stirrer than anything else.

I can asure you that he has no access to any info except what he reads on the net. Ego thats all.

Now back to regular programing………

What were they to do? Create a shrine for jihadists?

It seems like a reasonable compromise to me. CNN and BBC in the same comment? Really?

@ Scott , Obamas current approval rating was in the popper and he needed a “win”, Especially with Trump lighting fires on his ass! just as it took “10″ years to “find” Osama it takes well over a year to win the election

There will never be any proof good enough to prove without a shadow of a doubt that OBL is dead, short of the conspiracy theorists being ushered into the morgue and invited to prod his body. As this would have been unlikely to have happened in any event, and considering that any proof put forward would be questioned anyway, why not just bury him at sea and have done with it? Release the photos. Burn OBL’s beard in Central Park. The bottom line is that OBL is dead. So why not just be happy about it?

Of course, I do not mean to say that the actions of governments are always altruistic. Bermudians know better than anyone else that ain’t so. But in this case, what is the value of a conspiracy theory to the US Government? What is the value to them of lying on such a grand scale? What if he isn’t dead; they just can’t find him? The truth would come to the surface fast enough. And what if he was dead 10 years ago? Surely the Bush Administration would have jumped at the chance to announce that little nugget of good cheer? Any achievments gained as a result of that lie would be negatived, and probably so damaging to the US that it isn’t worth their consideration. Besides, there are enough smart people out there not working for the US Government who would expose it in a heart beat if they could. Mr. Wikileaks, Julian Assange, certainly wouldn’t have batted an eyelid.

The value to the US of killing OBL and letting everyone know is in the actual achievment of that truth. If it was a lie, it’s an easy one to get caught in, and the damage that would result wouldn’t be worth it to a President already struggling to bring the US economy back from the brink while simultaneously ramping up his reelection campaign.

Maybe we haven’t landed on the moon. Maybe JFK was shot by a second gunman on the grassy knoll. But in this case, there’s no point, no value in it. If OBL’s alive, he’ll say so soon enough.

It’s the UBP’s fault. And their still in power. Look at the price of Platinum, Base Lands, Urinary Tract Infections.

Backwards….still UBP.

Take a good look @ the above photo…………and if you play golf….stay away from sand traps……..dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun………..

“When asked where bin Laden was buried, the source said, “I am sure that like other places in Tora Bora, that particular place too must have vanished.”

Please keep ‘em coming … I need the laugh!

I do like the “unamed Pakistani source….” however.

I expect some release of footage in the next few days.

For the record, Saudi Arabia already refused the body, as did Afghanistan.

So, they have to do two things, they need to verify the “kill”, easily done with DNA analysis, photographic analaysis etc., and to do so they need to take the body. That’s why they didn’t bomb the place.

Secondly, they have to be sensitive to Muslim sensibilities and treat the body with respect (hard to do if you’re an American given the history of this sack of sh*t). THey also have to make sure a grave site doesn’t become a shrine. Burial at sea ticks all the boxes.

What’s so hard to udnerstand?

“There’s some minor triumph, also, in the confirmation that our old enemy was not a heroic guerrilla fighter but the pampered client of a corrupt and vicious oligarchy that runs a failed and rogue state.”

It’s clever politics, good planning and appropriate. They also took the body so they could perform proper ID and take tissues samples for DNA analysis for future confirmation.
