Yep, as it was said in one of my favorite films, when it comes to the milk of human kindness, the world has dried up at the tit.

He didn't suffer much, did he?

There should have been about 3000 holes put in that sadistic bastard.

I'm not going to lose sleep if the SEAL team members who killed Osama fucking bin Laden were overly enthusiastic about their duties.

Sorry, Army Special Operations veteran Jack Murphy. You'll have to do better than that.

If, for even a second, you feel some sort of sympathy for this motherfucker, just picture those people plunging to their deaths from the World Trade Center and, trust me, the feeling will go away.

The only thing I can condemn them over is that they didn't put another hundred bullets in the asshole.

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

When CBS had a film crew following some fire fighters in NYC on that day, the film crew and those firefighters went into the WTC lobby, after the second plane hit.

They filmed things (fortunately we couldn't see what they were) hitting the glass ceiling of the lobby.

I have no doubt whatsoever many of those things hitting and crashing into that roof were people.

So if Osama got shot many times, BFD.
He deserved what happened to Saddam.

Like those who doubt if John Kennedy was killed November 22, 1963, and also those who believe Elvis is alive. It would not serve any purpose and a picture does not prove death, it could be photo shopped.

Not losing any sleep over this.

Like our torturing in gitmo, this is an example of us hurting our own cause. They didn't need to put over a hundred bullets into him. It was unnecessary, at a minimum, and the result is that photographic evidence can never be produced. We have a track record of going too far, not being able to respect international law and norms, and the result is our own weakened position.

It is not just about what we did to bin Laden or any of the other alleged terrorist and enemy combatants. It is about what it has done to the US and our standing. It is what has been come to be expected of the US.

Well it's about fucking time! I await your comments in all the other threads of other countries going to far.

Nuff said.

Yeah, who knew?.. the bin laden under the sea fan club. Wah wah wah USA.

I don't have a good thing to say about either of them. As I said, this is about the US and who we are and what is right. We hurt our own cause when we do unnecessary, immoral and illegal shit.

I don't approve of it when any nation does it, but I am only a citizen of one nation. I only have a say in who is elected in one country. I only live in one country.

Just because others are doing something wrong doesn't mean we should. In fact, the opposite is the better course.

Isn't that a bit presumptuous?

I never bought that he had to be shot to be captured anyway. I would have much preferred that he be taken alive and hauled back to the states.

need pictures to see it.

As I am reading this thread I suddenly hit this picture. After 2 or 3 minutes on the floor doubled over laughing my ass off I looked at it again and started the process over. Funniest picture I think I've ever seen. Thank you.

Why do people post shit like the article in the OP?

Dead is dead. They were sent to finish what Bush deliberately failed to do, and they succeeded. Bush the Lesser liked to boast about his ability to deal death out to others -- that's why he allowed the mutilated post-mortem photos of Uday and Qusay to circulate.

I figure Obama is more civilized, that's all. He doesn't boast, he just does what's necessary. He doesn't need to show off his war trophies or dress up in a codpiece-enhanced soldier suit.

As for the SEALs: Thanks, men.

This assumes a buying-in to the official story, and honestly, at this point, I have no reason to do that. This also assumes his being behind 9*11, and I have questionable reason to assume that. This also, by extension, assumes a belief of the official story on what happened on 9*11, and there are plenty of reasons to question that.

If people want to play the propaganda game, having Osama on trial would have been an amazing coup for the US.

Oh well. I suppose a smash-n-blast with an unceremonious dumping at sea has its own way of neutering the foe's image.

Publish the photos and they can then be used by terrorist leaders to stir revenge and hatred in ignorant boys and girls until the end of time.

Think for a second where that type of thinking would lead us.

What else would we decide not to do for fear of offending a bunch of radicals?

No, if that is the only reason, they should be released tomorrow.

It's about supplying one-of-a-kind materials that could be used as propaganda to inspire suicide bombers and terrorist fighters for a long time to come.

"Khalid, look what they did to our beloved leader Osama! Just look at it! They are animals! Your sacrifice will please Osama in heaven and deliver you to your virgins!"


Disclaimer: That's one possibility but I don't know if that's the official reasoning.

Displaying the corpse of the enemy dead like a trophy is undignified. There really is no good reason to do it.

That is why they did not publish them.
