Osama bin Laden, the long-time figurehead of the al Qaeda terrorist network, has been buried at sea after being killed in a U.S. raid in Pakistan.

U.S. officials told CBS News that bin Laden's body would be handled in accordance with Muslim traditions, which include strict rules on burial taking place within 24 hours after death.

Obama is either a moron or a liar.

Actually he is both.

No body, no proof.

The muzzies behead innocent civilians and Hussein is so busy respecting islamic law that we still dont have a godammned picture almost 24 hours later.

I guess he will wait another year or two to release them.

Aloha Phil!

Is that the latest 'Just for Men' ad approval trial?

After the news tonight I could use some.

“U.S. officials told CBS News that bin Laden’s body would be handled in accordance with Muslim traditions, which include strict rules on burial taking place within 24 hours after death.”

Why, oh why? Why are they being so ridiculous? Respect the traditions with respect to such a monster? If Pakistanis kill a Western leader, would they bury him according to Christian traditions?

I don’t buy this story, just like I don’t buy some other “official proclamations” in all things related to 9/11.

I don't understand WHY we have to respect Their LAWS.
We should have used the Alabama law.
Put him in a cheap pine box with a fresh dead pig.
Then roast the pig and enjoy. Leave the dead bin laden to rot in the sun.

What the heck? Where’s the confirmation for everyone to see?

Oh, c'mon. You mean you don't trust our dear leader? </sarc>

So long, chum

"Why was he bestowed the honor of a burial at sea?"

Bloody shark bait!

[ez]

Thought they said they had him a week?

[Flintlock]

I hope AT LEAST he was wrapped in pigskin with a bacon lining.

Very Fishy!

There was a million things that could have been done with his body and not one required another country take his body.

I don't understand WHY we have to respect Their LAWS.

ANY reasonable person would believe that if Osama, excuse me, Obama is not at leaset a Muzzie sympathezier, he was and is a card carrying Muzzie.

It explains Libya and Egypt, both "patriots" are composed of radical Muslims, Egypt Muslim Brotherhood, Libya AL Qaeda which wants to kill you and your family.

We know they wouldn't. And Osama's death will trigger violent reaction in the Arab street, maybe ours too.

Obama is hoping by showing such 'post respect' it will tamp down that reaction. Osama is a hero in throughout the Middle East. They sell his likeness on t-shirts etc. as souvenirs. I'll never forget the picture of the kid wearing just such a shirt in the midst of the tsunami/earthquake rubble...

As far as buried at sea, I sure hope so. This leaves the al-queda supporters no grave to visit, no body to dig up etc.

Hopefully the “handled with Islamic tradition” and “burial at sea” is Navy speak for “ We all pissed on the body while jamming a can of Spam in his piehole and then dumped it over the fantail with the rest of the trash”.

That is the ALABAMA back up plan. . . . . .

[Newton]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t recall other terrorists getting this “special” treatment. I don’t know, I just don’t believe anything when it comes to this regime.

[Average Al]

I give them a lot of credit for dumping his body at sea. I also wonder if they asked him if he wanted to surrender before or after shooting him in the face? ;-)

Arent muzzies supposed to be buried in the ground? This whole thing is officially bs in my mind now. The second I read buried at sea I knew something was up.
