DEVELOPING: Usama bin Laden was given a religious funeral prior to his burial at sea, senior military officials told Fox News.
Religious rites were conducted on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier at about 1:10 a.m. Monday in the Persian Gulf.
In accordance with Islamic practice, bin Laden was washed and wrapped in a white sheet before buried at sea at 2 p.m. local time, senior U.S. military and intelligence officials said.

Let me guess, you never spent a day in uniformed service to our country, have you?
"Maybe you should go post where your liberal brothers and sisters would feel the same way you do."
Not surprising - another idiotic comment from someone who has made more than their fair share of idiot comments on this thread. Just saying.
“Usama bin Laden was given a religious funeral prior to his burial at sea, senior military officials told Fox News.”
.
If this statement was made for Muslim consumption, they will have to come up with more evidence than just empty phrases.
I accept this action by the military, as directed by their civilian leadership, only in the sense that good Christians do not mock or needlessly violate the dead. Concur on your view of the unecessary requirment to maintain the corpse. And I guarantee this was one of the most photographed/filmed events of the modern era. Hell, everything is filmed in some fashion these days.
We'll see all the grisly detail in time.
Well, *now* he's a good muslim.
Should’ve slathered him in bacon grease and thrownm him in a cage full of Dobermans.
We did disrespect Osama in one way that pleases me.
BY washing his body and wrapping him in white linen we gave him a proper Muslim burial, but according to Muslim law we DENIED him MARTYRHOOD by removing the clothing he died in.
Subtle, but very meaningful to devout Muslims. Our burial means he did not die a Martyr.
Obama was a good Muslim just as Hitler was a good Nazi.
If they had fed him to the hogs we would have seen a world wide Muslim uprising.
Feeding him to the crabs was probably a better idea. Of course, it makes a “hadj” to his tomb a bit more difficult.
You can call Obama a liar all you want but you are also calling into question the integrity of our military and Navy Seals. If the Seals say they got him, then they got him.
Persian Gulf? I would have thought the Indian Ocean?
I think he was referring to the fact that a fair number of posters are saying that the burial at sea was a plot to dump a different body or something like that. It's hard to imagine a conspiracy like that staying hidden.
It is not acceptable and it is almost a crime to throw the body of a Muslim man into the sea. The body of bin Laden should have been handed over to his family to look for a country or land to bury him.
CRIME? Can this guy say this crap with a straight face? Crime? What was 9/11 is this genius’ view? What a joke. A very sick one, at that.
I pity the fish in the sea.
I don't know.. Obama has hired some world class idiots..
He has a second sense on the quality and expertise of real idiots..
He seems to drawn to severely brain damaged individuals..
That is..... if was really Bin Laden at all..
We'll never know.. the evidence was deep sixed..
Pretty much like everything related to Dingle-Barry Obama.. no real evidence..
He just keeps hanging around.. a skid mark on this Republic..
STFU jackass
LOL! Brilliant. :)
If Osama’s faith was “not really Islam” why give him an Islamic burial?
Why give him “martyrdom and respect”? Hedge your bets and let the terrorists in this world know that their remains shall be soaked in bacon fat.
The white sheet wrap part is kind of cute. Toilet paper would have worked for me. Remember the Osama pattern T.P.? In the old days SOP was to put the body in a canvas bag and add a Navy 5” round to the package for weight. The Vinson wouldn’t have had any 5” which makes me curious what the dead weight was? Spare anchor link maybe? But a large bullet would be extremely appropriate——his virgin is a guy? The Vinson has plenty of catapults and I’m guessing they headed east when they launched. There is no way the Vinson stopped dead in the water to launch/drop the package which means the 4 props probably made sausage out of whatever went overboard-—that would be justice delayed but not denied.
No there was Obama mourning a good friend who is supposed to help him to be reelected...
Bye bye brother osama...
