Gates, Clinton Advising President to Not Release OBL Photograph; Obama Increasingly Concerned No Good Would Come from It

This will become a complete disaster for us in the war on terrorism

Gates and Clinton are letting AlQaida supporters dictate what we do with our pictures of their dead leader.

I'd take the chance, show the picture, and toss cruise missiles into the midst of any gathering showing objections to it.

I think this is a clear opportunity for getting rid of more AlQaida types than we ever imagined ~ if they will only turn out and display their sympathies.

Don't you just love how the whole world is aware of the indecisiveness of our Country's leadership?

It's bad enough that we have to live under this vacillating cloud of ineptitude...do we have to advertise it?

I saw a news report this morning in which the anchor interviewed a local newspaper reporter who happens to cover the Middle East.

She said that she’s spoken to numerous people there who are skeptical about the Bin Laden death because they haven’t seen photos. In the cases of Saddam’s sons and Zarquawi, the official photos were released immediately; since there is a delay in Bin Laden’s case it only fuels greater suspicion.

Muzzies go ballistic over a cartoon.......We’re worried about offending who...a bunch of murdering bas*****

[Doc Savage]

Barry already killed him. And he’s afraid of a photo backlash????? Bring it on towelheads. We can take out Mecca in a blink of an eye!

[Husker]

The chance to publish the photographs is quickly passing. If they are going to do it, do it today or tomorrow. If not, then don’t ever publish it. Otherwise, the administration gives the appearance of intentionally fanning the flames, and will be forced to defend the mantra of “needed more time to doctor the photos.”

Are they credible sources? I can think of a number of reasons why they would want the world to think 0sama was dead, but not very many why they would want us to believe he was still alive.

[Puddleglum]

I think that all Americans are victims of his terrorism (some much more closely than others), and as such we deserve to see the most compelling possible evidence that justice has been served. Issues of the sensitivities of others, however compelling, take a back seat to this.

If the shoe was on the other foot...just how long would it take for Osama to post a picture of a killed US president on the internet????????????? 20 seconds? 25 seconds? 30 seconds...

The world of PC just has to disappear!

Post it along with the photos of Danny Pearl & all those they beheaded & gleefully displayed for all the world to see. Then get the clusters ready for Mecca & Medina.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Abu Ghrab photos. Gitmo photos. Outing CIA operatives photos.

Quite a difference with a socialist in the White House.

[Cliff Dweller]

The time to post it was within 48 hours... too late now.

Maybe BHO is waiting until we are closer to the election to re-vitalize any kind of bump to show how tough he is on Terror, just don’t want people to see it....

I guess there is no problem seeing US Servicemen dragged in the dust “a-la-Somalia” or US Contractors burned and hung from bridges “a=la-Iraq”, but it is too disturbing to show a shot up terrorist to the world.

It should have and still should be posted to show “This is what happens when you challenge America!”

[Adder]

Leave it to el Zee-rho and his insane clown posse to take a great victory and turn it into a leftist, angst handwringing ceremony....

SHOW ME THE DEAD SOB!

[BuffaloJack]

If Obama is worried that no good can come from releasing the photo, then wait a week and see the stories people will invent in the face of not releasing a photo.
Obama is completely blowing this whole thing.
Another day and even if he does release it, everyone will proclaim that it was photoshopped.

[rollo tomasi]

I wish some media stooge would ask these Godless creatures;

"What gruesome picture did then President Bill Clinton show, of a dead infamous terrorist, that prompted the planning of a violent response on September 11, 2001. Please have a nice trip as you are slipping on your regurgitation, which you probably mistook the vomit as a logical answer by the way."

[WayneS]

They should go ahead and release all the photos they have. Sooner or later the ‘wikileaks’ guy will get his hands on them and if HE ends up being the first to make them public them The Obama will appear even more foolish and less in control.

[redk]

This is keeping the economy and gas out of the headlines but they cannot play this game forever.

[AmericanInTokyo]

In the age of Wikileaks, and "every man has his price" and multi million dollar book deals, do they honestly think they can keep this thing buttoned up for more than a month or so??

It's gonna leak. Simple as that.
