Osama Bin Laden is dead

[Hot Mega]

So they( the gov) or he (the prez) said they aren't going to release any photos of his corpse?

Yeah, me (the 'Mega) heard they ( the gov) aren't going to release any photos of his corpse because he (the prez) sez so.:o

The official word today from Obama via his pressy...no release of the pics. (Officially).

Holy shit my mirror just fell off the wall.

Now do you believe OBL is dead?? ^^ Proof he's reaching up from hell trying to channel meester in order to have his one last spot on the front page. Albeit missing part of his noggin (or part of his hat off..):hatsoff:

oh wow.
now I have my doubts, seriously.
why would they not show the world he's dead?

Is it because he's not?
Is it because Obama is a closet muslim?
Is it because now the people who want to see proof will get called doubters and haters and this will create an element of sympathy for Obama while making his non deciples look like they are just picking on him because he's black therefore getting him more public approval while getting republicans less and ultimately more votes for him in 20112?
Or maybe after months or years of public demand by the haters and doubters Obama will show the photos just to try and make them look stupid in the first place........and with that more votes?

I'm asking questions people!

I think I understand and accept Obama's position on releasing the pics, even though I think he should release them.

From Obama's standpoint the guy is dead and we (Americans) are not like them in that we don't parade gruesome images of our kills around. I can accept his position on that.

The only reason why I'd prefer he released them has nothing to do with proof. It has to do with me wanting Obama to stick to his campaign promise of transparency.

while the world debates , here is how both of them are celebrating!

 

[monicasilver]

I saw a snippet of the Daily Show...this is all a made up distraction from the real issue, which is the birth certificate.

I don't care who you are, that there is funny.

 

[magicspore]

He could have decided to drone strike the place then risk not being able to get in and ID OBL.. Or worse, cause collateral damage killing Pakistani military...what if Pakistani military somehow detected us and blew the op or thought they were under attack....

According to reports here , Pakistan thought for a moment they were under attack by India and were preparing to strike until it was immediately made clear by the Americans to the Pak govt officials that it was nobody but them who had struck. A moments delay and there could have been a full fledged indo pak war,

There's no way it's fake, with or without photographic proof. Can you imagine the backlash in the U.S, if anytime after now, a video is released showing OBL alive and well and proven to be recorded after May 1st?

This kind of common sense has no place in this discussion

i dunno if i wanna believe that photo as of yet. conflicting reports of exactly where he was shot make it confusing when looking at the picture. some say he got a shot to the chest AND head, while others say he got shot twice in the head (once in the left eye).

so until they bring it to light in the coming days/weeks i will wait patiently.

the war on terror is not over, but this is a victory for the moral of our military personnel which will stretch for a long while in their minds . im happy, and i cant say much more than that

I want to believe he's dead. And barring credible evidence to the contrary, I will believe he is.

someone has been spreading rumors about us that are untrue

Yeah. Some fucker said I'm straight.
I do actually hate america. The bullshit, lies and corruption. But I find the indiscriminate killing of innocent american civvies by Obama unpallatable. I don't hate the average american (although I do hate the dumb fucks who believe what murdoch says).

if people are proud to be american and can show that, then why cant people be proud to be canadian and show it

please do not make this a double standard

Canada has more to be proud of: She manages to care for the health of her populace.

Photographic evidence of how they got him:

:thumbsup:

It's called attempting to kill two birds with one stone.
As our forces were fighting in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, Saddam continued to violate many of the UN 1441 Resolutions from the gulf war.

Official White House disclosure:

Continued


Sure, in hindsight it would have been better if Saddam were still in power today (maybe helping to keep Iran in check), but what are we gonna do, beat ourselves up for enforcing a UN resolution of which NATO had no desire, nor the capacity to enforce on their very own? I think not.

Also, the republicans weren't the only ones who wanted to punish Saddam for
his egregious and blatant UN 1441 violations . . .

Do you really believe it would be better with Saddam still in power? It would've been better if we'd done the job properly I think.
Iran can barely keep herself going. Keep her free of nukes and forget her.

Good to see some solid, inferiority complex posting entering this thread from Canada. At times I forget just how deep my home nation's 'small man syndrome' runs ......

Just what exactly is your home nation again, you heathen mick?

Robin Williams.... "Canada's like a loft apartment over a really great party."

Nothing like a good serious quote to highlight the truth

i find all the talk about this being great for the president's reelection amusing...this thread'll be dead in what? a month probably...osama's death will be out of the american consciousness in probably about the same amount of time...if obama really wanted a reelection boost he woulda greenlighted this operation about a month before the election

Spot on!
:thumbsup:
:yesyes:

What's most inappropriate ?
-Release photos of a man who they shot in the head.
-Let conspiracy theories rise.

I believe they should release the photos.

While I'd like to see them, I can see that one of the reasons they might have had to have been suppressed is because they may inflame tensions in the middle east which the Obama administration is very conscious of trying to avoid.

Inflame tensions? If a guy attacks, he can expect to be attacked. Anybody infuriated at a retaliation is using double standards. It's not like we wrapped him in bacon and buried his body in 5 seperate graves. We're showing respect.

There's no way it's fake, with or without photographic proof. Can you imagine the backlash in the U.S, if anytime after now, a video is released showing OBL alive and well and proven to be recorded after May 1st?

What's funny is, the same people who blindly believe in God are asking for proof of OBL's death. LOL.

While I would like the photos to be released (and believe they'd be a deterrant to future terrorists) I do see the truth and humour in this post.

Oh c'mon.

of course people want to see proof.
I mean who in their right mind trusts the GOV anyway?

^^ Good point.

You guys are incredible.
I mean, the US government has a history of lying to the citizens -particulary concerning military or intelligence stuff- but still you guys trust them, even if they refuse to show the proofs they tell they have.
Unbelievable !

:yesyes:

so, what? you trust the french govt whole heartedly?

This isn't a game of whose government is more trustworthy. Why do you have to turn it into a contest between the nations? Whoever claimed the French government was trustworthy? Put your wounded, pathetic little american ego aside and recognise that the american government (as with all governments) HAS occasionally been less than truthfull. To put it mildly.

Interesting that the American media has no problem with the rapid circulation of pictures like this (four American civilian contractors, civilians, were killed in a grenade attack by suspected insurgents. Afterward, residents cheered and pulled charred bodies from burning vehicles and hung them from a Euphrates River bridge. Crowds gathered around the vehicles and dragged at least one of the bodies through the streets, witnesses said), yet is giving deference to the scum holes that may take offense to the "alleged" picture of OBL's dead body.

Very valid point. It should be entirely viable and appropriate to publish the pictures, when we treated the body with reasonable respect. Especially given the history the militants have of mistreating bodies and torturing and killing civilians.

Photos from the Bin Laden Compound

The guy in pic 3 is particularil heavily armed. It may look like a water pistol behind his head, but don't be fooled; it sprays anthrax laden acid with uranium particles.

On Piers Morgan last night, it was mentioned that certain photos had been circulated in some form in Washington, which could potentially result in a leak. :dunno:

Piers Morgan is more full of shit than the average sewage works.

If they show the pics, people are still going to say its faked so whats the point. If I want to see someone with a bullet in his head, I only need to watch the local news.

So since you're so desensitised, why not just let them publish the pics?

while the world debates , here is how both of them are celebrating!

Bet they got through a lot of lube that night.

This kind of cynicism absolutely has a place on this board

[BAYAMONXXX]

Obama has the pics in his blackberry

 

[Supafly]

The debate about him being dead or not will very easily be resolved. Do you think he will NOT make a video like:

Assassination: FAIL

In the blink of an eye if he is still among the living?

And if he was dead for a long time: Well, that does not matter to me. He's gone, and that is what counts.

I'm amazed that a pre-prepared video stating that his assasination is a lie hasn't already been released.

 

[Master Roshi]

yes Osama is dead for the 9th time, all is well again, the dollar is strong, the economy is recovering, housing prices are rising, unemployment is dropping as a result, fukushima radiation levels have disappeared and the private federal reserve has decided to release all financial records

yeah I see your points.
valid ones.
but theres a difference from posting his picture all over the place and just releasing it for public record, after that whatever people do with it is just gonna happen.

but now I'm thinking how hard would it be for the government if they knew of his death beforehand to then attack a compound, kill a few muslims then say one of them was bin laden but not show any proof?

pretty easy,
And even if it did go down as they say I'm surprised Al quada doesn't say it was a fraud just to fuck with us.

Yeah but how do you think pictures get all over the place? From releasing them to the public.

but now I'm thinking how hard would it be for the government if they knew of his death beforehand to then attack a compound, kill a few muslims then say one of them was bin laden but not show any proof?

How would we know of his death ahead of time and who would have killed him? Assuming he died on his own, why wouldn't his followers have announced this to take our thunder? If we killed him, which president ordered it? If Bush, why wouldn't he have announced it? If Bush ordered it but didn't announce it, why would he save OBL for Obama to manufacture credit for it? If Obama ordered it, why would he wait to announce it?:dunno::dunno::dunno:

pretty easy,
And even if it did go down as they say I'm surprised Al quada doesn't say it was a fraud just to fuck with us.

Let them...but if you think about it, it's been their history to confirm when we knock off one of their leaders. Not trump up denial.

It's interesting that after a couple of glasses of wine, I totally get your point :glugglug:
