To note for the future: it’s 0400 EDT and Fox News reported it’s been 12 hours since OBL died. He was buried at sea about 2 hours ago. 10 hours from death to burial at sea. Consider the timing.
I tell you what, I AM COMFORTED if this all backfires on the Idiot in Chief, because he and his stooges think we will just take their word for it.
And half of this dumb-ass population will swallow this ‘miracle’ whole and smile all the while.
I’ll be back later...Elvis is wanting another damn fried banana sandwich.

623. If a person dies on a ship and if there is no fear of the decay of the dead body and if there is no problem in retaining it for sometime on the ship, it should be kept on it and buried in the ground after reaching the land. Otherwise, after giving Ghusl, Hunut, Kafan and Namaz-e-Mayyit it should be lowered into the sea in a vessel of clay or with a weight tied to its feet. And as far as possible it should not be lowered at a point where it is eaten up immediately by the sea predators.
624. If it is feared that an enemy may dig up the grave and exhume the dead body and amputate its ears or nose or other limbs, it should be lowered into sea, if possible, as stated in the foregoing rule.
625. The expenses of lowering the dead body into the sea, or making the grave solid on the ground can be deducted from the estate of the deceased, if necessary.
“I wasn’t aware that burials at sea were an Islamic tradition.”
Yeah, good point. I saw one website on Islamic burial rituals, and didn’t see anything about it.
Plus, the Guardian thought this was suspect, too (they are reporting that there still hasn’t been a burial):
“Senior US officials told news agencies that his body would be buried in accordance with Islamic tradition. But it is not clear yet what they mean. Islamic custom often involves the bathing, shrouding and burial of a body within 24 hours.”

What???
Too many *will* because it ‘gives them closure’.
They will believe because they *want* to believe, regardless of what their rational mind might say.
[assuming they have a rational mind, that is]
This is something that will embed itself deeply into the national psyche...and <0 knows it.
If it weren’t so spectacularly evil, I’d say it was a brilliant plan.
A poll-sinking <0 gets “resurrected” by “killing” a much despised boogeyman.
Wonder what Mullah Omar thinks of all this?
Smoke and mirrors... smoke and mirrors.
So let’s see... They conducted the operation, started the compound on fire, took the body, did the DNA testing, washed, wrapped, and dropped him in the sea - all in roughly 10 hours? Did they have a freaking imam on the mission with them to conduct the burial prep and Islamic rites? Did they actually pack the cloth to wrap his body on their way to go on this mission? And all the other bodies were left there? His son, the couriers, the woman.
Seems VERY fishy, and when I say fishy, I don’t mean Osama’s supposed burial site.
So we can assume that he is in the Indian Ocean.
Three Card Monty, anyone?
Yep. No body now to exhume. We will never see if his “Tora Bora” injuries were ultimately fatal.
We were waiting for the diversion from the latest FAKE bc. It had to be big to knock the naysayers out of the headlines. Nothing could be bigger than this and it’ll boost his poll numbers. After all these lies, either OBL was killed years ago or he’s sipping tea in the White House as we speak.
I truly hope you are not speaking from personal experience.
Probably off the *Jersey* shore somewhere.
Sorry, couldn't resist :^)

Exactly!
Can you hear Obama now? Hey guys, they bought that birth certificate crap, let’s try something bigger!!
You really don’t want to know.
I trust your judgment.

Yep. I assume it would take at least a few hours to fly him from the interior of Pockystahn to the Indian Ocean. Did they just fling him out of the aircraft, or did they land, transfer him to a ship, then take the ship out a certain distance to chum the waters?
The timeline (in context of the other things we have been told about this op) is highly unusual.
