Inside the raid that killed bin Laden
fox ^ | 5-2-11 | ap

WASHINGTON – Helicopters descended out of darkness on the most important counterterrorism mission in U.S. history. It was an operation so secret, only a select few U.S. officials knew what was about to happen.

The location was a fortified compound in an affluent Pakistani town two hours outside Islamabad. The target was Osama bin Laden.

Maybe osama died from diabetes complications...and king obuma decided to use the death to boost his crumbling approval numbers.

I’m waiting a few weeks before believing anything from the lying rat infesting the whitehouse.

How many days before Omoslem prosecutes the CIA for interrogating OBL’s buddies, and prosecutes the SEALS for giving the corpse a fat lip?

It’s painful to watch Omoslem on TV doing his “Patriot” routine.

It’s like watching Sean Penn act.

Or Rosie O’Donnell explain how she HATES chocolate eclairs.

They better put up a couple of official photos of that POS with a hole in his head. I wouldn’t trust the word of the US govt especially Obama that the sun had come up. Sad but true.

When they got saddams sons they showed not only the bodies but had the people working on those bodies pictured with them..and hosts of other forensic evidences...by many others.

People are foolish to believe Obama....even if all he says is true...provide the body...don’t dispose of it before the evidence is gone over throughly.

American’s could care less if Obama follows Islamic burial... If a man in our country had killed thousands and was a Christian nobody would care if he got a proper funneral. They’d want him dead and burial would make no difference to any.

The teeth and nose look like the same ones in the earlier photo of him being alive. In fact, it’s interesting that his head is in the exact same position as the earlier photo, his mouth is open in exactly the same way.

If I were a doubting Thomas, I would say that the death photo kind of of looks as if it is the exact same photo of the earlier photo, other than the wounds. I wonder how hard it would be to photoshop those wounds on to the earlier photo.

I am sure he got respectful burial at sea with all the religious traditions intact. I am sure he had a Muslim Imam blessing the body and providing a service to make sure that Osama can enter Jannah (their Heaven).

All this bought and paid for by the United States government is beyond reproach! This is after the president’s words of Osama not being representative of Muslims, but a killer of Muslims (this made me cringe that he had to go out of his way to be politically correct). Obama has to ruin everything, he just can’t man up and do something right.

America could care less, but I do! Deposing the body of the greatest mass killer in the last 40 years in 24 hours is insane. What to make sure he goes to the Muslim version of Heaven?

Disposing of the body after one day in accordance with Muslim religious law lets us show the Arab world we are bigger and better people than them.

Who the heck cares if Islmic Law is followed!!!....the guys reponsible for thousands of people deaths including children. The world is laughing at us once again for "acting" as if we care about the Islmic faith....they know it's phoney and so do we.

What you do with the body is get many forensic evidences by many peope that it is so...you film them with the body doing thier work...you wait for conclusive DNA testing before announcing he's who they say he is.

You do it just as Bush did with Saddams sons death...you get, in Ben-Ladans case, Pakistanians pictured with the body and stating that it is him who have the authority to make such a claim.

You dont notify the public at a late hour,( when streets are not filled with autos) and then keep them on the hook for an hour so you can "organize" your activists to rolo call your students to get out on the streets.

Okay, everybody - let's not make a joke of FR by supposing and swallowing things.

Let's back off and let the fur settle.

The oviously fake ‘dead’ photo, so easily debunked, was NOT released or ‘authenticated’ by our gov’t = and where have you seen any official statement that they dumped him at sea in respect of Islam rules.

Let's just calm down and not run with every ‘story’ that pops up.

See post #64 - and know all you need to know about ‘the photo’ - and note the script on the bottom of it - some ME outlet, not U.S. news

Don’t misunderstand my post...I don’t care, and most Americans don’t, that he gets a Islamic burial. You are correct it was insanity to get rid of the body evidence...we all know something is amiss in all this.

That's why they want to kill us in the first place!

***Helicopters descended out of darkness on the most important counterterrorism mission in U.S. history.***

Killing Yamamoto was also a top priority mission that succeeded!

Too bad we didn’t get Pancho Villa but he was killed later by others.

Disposing of the body wrapped in a pigskin and sending the footage to Al Jazeera lets us show the Arab world that they can wage their jihad all they want, but if we get our hands on them, we're sending them to eternal hell and damnation.

"...I think he was killed years ago..." - chainsaw

Agree... December of 2001 to be exact. Caravan of several vehicles hit with missiles from a Pred...

All of the talk at the time was about OBL's brother and sister in New York donating a DNA sample so that we could positively ID OBL when we got him. While that talk was going on, the caravan was hit... The DNA story suddenly disappeared altogether. I know a C-17 pilot that will attest to this, since he was part of the "after action" transport loop being used to transport remains. This is a guy I would (and based upon comparing our duty assignments and the dates thereof, probably have) intrust my life. ( And I still say there is "no perfectly good aircraft".)

"But why not announce that we got him back in 2001?", people ask... Because Americans are, for the most part when it comes to safety issues, short-sighted. Everything has to be given to them immediately, and then they are ready to move on to the next big item/issue. Had OBL's demise been made known in late 2001 or early 2002, little Johnny Q. Public would have said "Okay, all done, bring all the troops home!", and the politicians would have had to do so before the real task of eliminating Al Qaida/Taliban military capabilities had been completed. (It's bad enough trying to do that job with the ROE's under which our people have to operate, let alone having to deal with a bunch of non-supportive politicians that are just worried about getting re-elected.) So... OBL gets put on ice until the releasing the information that "we got him" will provide maximum benefit for the politician in power at the time. Obama's numbers are in the tank... He releases what is supposed to be a COLB after years of fighting that action and it doesn't help his numbers... The economy is still in the toilet... People are fed up with $4.00/gallon gasoline, the fact that there are still no jobs, rising food costs - and he is doing nothing but turning his arrogant face away from those that are suffering. In walks his advisor: "Mr. President, we feel it is time to release the news that we got OBL... We think that, with the help of the three networks, we can make you look like a real 'war president' and help you in the 2012 elections."

Just my 2 cents worth... But why on earth would they truly be worried about burying this guy in such a hurry? It wasn't because they were concerned with the laws of Islam regarding burial... And at sea? Come on now... Really?

Regards,
Raven6
