“When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite.”

That’s the way I look at it. Publicly denigrating OBL or abusing the body would have served no purpose except to potentially put Americans at more risk and lower America to their level. Smart means being cool. They did it right and smart.
Okay, so tell us how you really know that he’s indeed dead? That’s the issue. None of us were ever talking about publicly denigrating OBL.
HUH abuse the body, do you know what we have done, we killed him multiple times host
who said abuse anyway, we should have got the body and got a pool of reporters and then had the evidence for these people
give him a muslim service are you serious?
People died and rotted, now we pay our respects because that is what some on the left want and obama wanted.
You don’t have to abuse the body, but you also don’t have to give it an Islamic burial complete with carcass washing and wrapping. It’s not the dumping it overboard that bothers me, provided they fully documented the body first, it’s deliberately following Islamic law in burying him (to the extent that they could given the circumstances) that bothers me. This is exactly what he wanted, Islamic law to be forced on us.
It wasn’t bad enough that we had to start Mirandizing terrorists overseas, now we have to start burying them according to the very Islamic law they’re trying to force on us. If we’re very, very lucky then it’s only because the commander in chief is ignorant enough to believe this will somehow appease the Jihadists or reduce their ability to use Osama’s death as a recruiting tool (we can’t fight a war while being concerned with how our enemy will perceive our actions - they’re not above lying about our actions anyway if they need to). If we’re not so lucky then it’s because our commander in chief is sympathetic to their cause.
