Bringing Osama to the sea: The president must provide conclusive evidence of bin Laden’s death
The Hill ^ | 05/02/11 | Bernie Quigley

Posted on 05/02/2011 9:51:44 AM PDT by Qbert

The first reports of Osama bin Laden’s death told us that he was buried within 24 hours of his death, and "at sea,” because “finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most [notorious] terrorist would have been difficult.” So we would assume there would be physical evidence of the death if there is no body. That would presumably be photographic identification or DNA evidence. During the Vietnam War, the military on the ground was notoriously unreliable about physical evidence in combat.

Because if I have this right, “the sea” is at least 800 miles from the Abbottabad region of Pakistan where reports say bin Laden was killed. How did they get him from there to the sea? Did they drop him out of an airplane or travel by land convoy 800 miles with the six-and-a-half-foot corpse? Then other reports said the body was delivered to Afghanistan. Did they bring him to Afghanistan and then bring him to the sea? That would have been more than a thousand miles to haul the corpse.

Other reports said that he was or would be identified by DNA evidence. Results of the DNA tests should be available in the next few days, “the official” told Reuters. But then WCVB in Boston reported, “The death of a sister of Osama bin Laden at Massachusetts General Hospital allowed the United States to confirm bin Laden's death, ABC News reported.” So then it won’t take a few days, like the Reuters report claimed? Did they or did they not know through DNA evidence that it was Osama bin Laden they had killed? Especially important since the corpse might have been disfigured in the shooting, so photo evidence would not be conclusive.

What’s it gonna be?

The president needs to clear this stuff up pronto because credibility in crisis is of vital journalistic importance. And precisely at these times you don’t want mischievous and false myth to awaken, like did we fake the moon landing, what really happened at Roswell, where are Biggie and Tupac, was Obama really born in the United States and is Osama bin Laden really dead? This kind of pesky misinformation and seditious and nihilistic propaganda can plague the tabloids for decades. Especially with a press and populace like Fox Mulder, that wants to believe.

I guess a death certificate would not do it.

Proof is needed of course. But if not forthcoming, are we to speculate Zeros handlers dreamed this up for a poll bump?
He’s taken soem hits lately.

Proof would be nice. A photo? Depends. Looks like the last photo Obama showed us (of his BC) has some serious authenticity problems - like after close inspection it appears to not really being a scan but computer generated.

If it's a photo, maybe we need someone else who we can trust to show us. Who would that be?

Leaders who we can trust? America needs help.

I believe those lines about Roswell etc were a give away...(what was on his mind)....and that's why he was scooted off to the golf course where they could duct tape his mouth shut.

Where's Moochelle?? Having liposuction??

I imagine with family members in custody, helmet video, likely video of the carrier burial at sea, and the integrity of the SEAL’s, we did kill Been Leaded as it is claimed.

Hear you though on the inconsistencies. It makes you wonder because the timeline is a little off and we have a couple of different versions.

“Well it sure has taken the heat off the BC issue.”

Exactly!

I hope that TRUMP calls a press conference and credits himself with forcing Obama to kill Bin Laden. After all, if it wasn’t for this BC “silliness” Osama would still be yucking it up in PAK. Thanks TRUMP!

They probably want to avoid an attack by Paki Taleban to recover the body. Also saying he was buried within a day closes any possible ‘desecration’ claims

Nothing this guy does is ever verifiable.

No verifiability, no trust.

Why is it so difficult for this administration to simply be up front about this? If they have the evidence, just release it.
