It is now being reported that President Obama has decided not to release the death photos of terrorist master mind Osama bin Laden.
The news was broken by CBS in a Tweet:
They also linked to an article of theirs, written just minutes before, explaining that the President would not release the photos. They quoted the President as saying:
"The risks of release outweigh the benefits. Conspiracy theorists around the world will just claim the photos are doctored anyway, and there is a real risk that releasing the photos will only serve to inflame public opinion in the Middle East. Imagine how the American people would react if Al Qaida killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the internet. Osama bin Laden is not a trophy - he is dead and let's now focus on continuing the fight until Al Qaida has been eliminated."
This is surprising news, considering that yesterday out-going CIA director Leon Panetta stated that he thought the pictures would be released.
Gee maybe someone should email the Whitehouse with the photos of the US contractors that were hung on the bridge.....
And I am known to be far more credible than Barack Obama. LOL
I expect you to believe me too.
Usama is not a trophy ....... until the reelection campaign picks up.
Are you kidding me, President Obama?? You mean that America would be devastated if Charles Manson or Ted Bundy were killed by Al Qaeda and their dead bodies were shown on the internet???? And those two serial killers are NOTHING close to Osama bin Laden in heinous murders!
President Obama, you give far more respect to this mass murdering terrorist than you give to former President Bush, Donald Trump, or Rush Limbaugh, none of which have killed even a kitten. WHY???
Do you realize that our President is giving Stateshood status to Al Qaeda in this statement????
Oh, Donald!!!!
No need to be so bloodthirsty. OBL's head on a pole outside the Lincoln bedroom would have sufficed nicely.
no they just sold them to the press for cash.
General Donald Trump your country needs you yet again. More hidden documents.
