One of bin Laden's eyes was apparently blown away (according to a Fox News reporter I just heard).

So if that report is true, the Italian picture above must be faked, just on that basis.

I don't think the US gov't should release any photos of the dead Osama.

Anybody who matters is already convinced he's dead.

Who cares about the Islamonazis who are demanding photographic proof -- undoubtedly for their own nefarious purposes (to wave as a "bloody shirt," and to use as an excuse for committing yet more atrocities against Westerners)?

I say we don't give it to them.

an excuse for committing yet more atrocities against Westerners
____________________________________________________________
Are you joking? Are you for real?

They need any excuses. They don’t care. They kill more of each other over Islam everyday than they do us. They are killers. To them killing is as natural as drinking a cup of water.

Anything they can do they will do for any excuse at all or none. To them, it is just a matter of having the materials, not really ‘why’ they are doing it. They can and do pull any excuse at all out of a big hat, and that will be good enough.

The inability of this administration to make decisions and create a coherent plan is frightening. Of course, with virtually no business or military people on his staff this is not surprising.

Does anyone share my sense that the CIA and military presented Obama with a situation he would have preferred to ignore? Had Obama tried to avoid this opportunity it would have ended his Presidency, so he was forced to act.

release it or don’t release it, he should just decide and quit waffling.

the decision itself is already eclipsed by his indecision.

Obama never can make up his mind about anything. So he keeps kicking it down the road.

The stain never knows what to think, or say, or do, or feel, or taste.....until his handlers....or his trusty teleprompters....or the first sow...tell him.

So for now, we wait....

I just wish they had saved his corpse and made it into urinal cakes for every US military installation.

If there was a ‘real’ leak, then it could be easily traced to the chopper or the CV, carrier(ship).

C'mon now. You know that everyone (especially the O's) in the AO would want to take pictures, be in on, or just look at the corpse. The staff pukes were always the worst when it came to safeguarding classified materials.

OH FOR PETE’S SAKE, They showed us pictures of hitlarys fat ass in a bathing suit from a back view which did nothing to boost the sales of cottage cheese, and they think the American public can’t handle this?

Release the photos and videos. Several Reasons...

1. Americans are not that sensitive, we see worse as road kill, so do our children who rubberneck to view the dead animal, and say "oh look mommy". They also see worse and play worse on their video games.

2. We paid a big price for those photos and videos. First and foremost, in the 10 years since 9/11, 3000 American lives on that day and about 5000 more of our FINEST MEN AND WOMEN, and the $1 Trillion dollars it has cost us taxpayers to hunt him down, plus all the BRIBE MONEY/AID paid to Pakistan to hide him. You owe us.

3. Who cares about the sensibility of the Mooslime world? They hate everything we do, and make no bones about it. They hunt day and night to find something else to hate us for. I don't give a DAMN what any MUSLIME THINKS, period.

4. What are you hiding?

5. I believe he is dead, BUT you President Idiot, show us the proof, un-doctored, if you know how!! Proof you are a Muslim is your many lies with no remorse, and your deep respect for the Islam world.

To sum up, you and Casey Anthony a true soul mates, I can't figure out who is the biggest liar, and it comes easy to you both. Delays, delays, now she/her attorney says in the first opening statements we will find out why SHE did nothing/did not report her missing in those 31 days Caley was missing.

You mean to tell me, that SHE has a simple answer, and keeps it to herself all this time, to rake up big Attorneys fees, court costs, etc.? AND THERE IS A SIMPLE ANSWER, SHE COULD HAVE TOLD FROM THE BEGINNING. Obama/Casey Anthony, same/same, narcissistic liars both. JMO

Personally, I don’t care whether they release them or not. I trust the military reports on this event. But you’d think the Obama folks would have decided this during their many months of planning since OBL’s location became known, but apparently not. Ridiculous for this indecision to be a news story for days and days.

I think the delay is to just keep it in the news cycle.. but he just ends up looking weak and indecisive.

Off topic, but your comment reminded me of this.

One of the funniest Obama vids I have ever seen.

BLOCK HEAD

Enjoy LOL

Yes but No.
I served aboard CV-42 and something this big would see the light of day. The only people around the body would be authorized personal, CIA, and armed/loaded Marines.

When those elevator doors open, you better have a badge or freakin’ hit the deck. And that includes the Captain.

Which fleet were you in?

We Americans paid a lot of money, blood and sacrifice to get those pictures. We deserve to see them!

Scr*w "Muslim sensitivies"...

Either of the two pictures posted so far in this thread, fake or not, are no more gruesome or disturbing than scenes from the TV show “Bones”. If that type of thing disturbs anyone then they should not view it. I would have personally loved to view a live transmission of the raid and takedown; it would have been hard to suppress my urge to cheer at the moment they blew his brains out.
