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.

If we absolutely must have a burial at sea, I would have preferred Dexter's practice of washing the pieces and wrapping them in plastic sheets before dropping them into the Gulf Stream where they'll never be found.

This story is starting to stink and the gubment is starting to contradict itself already.

The Paks, knew-they didn't know.

The paks were on the scene during-the paks did not get notified until later.

The chopper stalled and was abandoned-it was attacked with RPGs.

OBL was asked to surrender-it was a kill missions. If we could have gotten him alive we would have-it was a kill mission.

If they have been planning this for so long with so many meetings (a typical liberal trait) why the conflicting stories.

This gets me sick.

If they did not want to bring the body back they should have burned it with his Koran.

I thought we wasn’t a real Muslim? isn’t that what the politically correct goofs told us. And yet he gets a traditional Muslim burial. Sounds to me like he was a traditional Muslim then.

And while we’re at it stop trying to hide us from the “horror”. Release the pictures of his bullet ridden body O. Don’t worry we’re grown ups and can take it.

Nothing in this scenario rings true to me.

Except you are not supposed to bury at sea if you are a muslim.

Kind of funny.

I don’t understand why so many are getting so mad over giving Osama a “Muslim” burial. The whole point is to show we are better than the “Osamas” of the Muslim world. We will show respect to a dead body....something they don’t do. We are not trying to stomp out Islam, just those that use it as a justification for acting crazy in a otherwise civilized world.

I wished they had gotten some Islamic Clerics to do the cleansing and burial at sea....and that they documented it well. It should be shown everywhere in the Mideast. It would stop speculation that we descrated the body.

He is dead, thankfully, that is enough for me. I don’t see any sense in stooping to their primitive level of action. Let them see Western Civilization at its best.

The human turd OBL showed no respect for his victims. Showing respect for him in this way makes us look weak. It would have been more appropriate to sever the head, and put it on a pole on the top of the Statue of Liberty’s torch.

If I had been in charge of the preparations, I believe I would have seen to it that he was wrapped in a blanket, lined with pork chops...

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.


Even with that murderous thug dead, they still bow and scrape to him!

Let's see: They tell us he went down swinging in a firefight with Navy SEALs—so he looks like a badass bitter-ender to his followers.

He gets a proper, Islamic burial in the Arabian Sea—so no Muslims are offended.

And the American public is offered no solid proof that he's dead—so Jihadis know we can't bring closure to dark, strange chapter in American history.

Jeez but they're trying hard to immortalize that punk!

There is nothing right about desecrating the dead,the best way to keep on fighting,is to find the next guy and take him out.So on and so forth,let him be forgotten as just an other fool who use terror and the death of innocents for his own purposes.

US Navy confirms it on their website. He was afforded infinitely more dignity and good treatment than the thousands of victims that he helped kill. They should’ve dumped him over the side and let the wildlife have him for dinner. Burn in hell, bastard.

Osama has surely found out by now that the 72 virgins and paradise are a big fat lie. Too bad he couldn’t see that before he got whacked. Being on his side of justice can’t be good.

What torques me is the fact we have a backlog of deceased servicemembers whose families are waiting for burials at sea. So this POS, our ENEMY, goes to the front of the line because of “muslim practices.”

Screw them!! Bin Laden’s remains should’ve been shredded and fed to pigs.

Bin Laden also set the record for fastest burial at sea ever; 0-60 in 2 seconds!

Bin Laden Given Religious Funeral Prior to Sea Burial

Any respectful ceremony that starts with a two-tap to the head can't be that bad, can it?
