Yes they will. If this had been Bush the photos would be demanded or he would been accused by the media of being a liar, just as Obama is.

Our side needs to stop helping Obama and let him own this as CIC. He needs to be held to the same standards that Bush was held to.

I am glad if Osama is dead, but I am not happy that people on our side are willing to give Obama a pass. They need to put the proof out there and it is up to the individual if they believe it or not. After all, there is nothing else to be done to prove it.

Let him rise to his decision. It is up to him and his administration to defend their own actions. It isn’t up to us to involve ourselves in one way or the other.

It is up to us to expect of him what he would expect of Bush or anyone else.

To be honest, if Bush would have said they got Saddams sons and provided no proof, I would have been just as skeptical.

Chuck Todd, NBC:

Reported on @nbcnightlynews that WH has NOT made a decision on releasing a photo of a dead bin Laden; in fact senior aides leaning against.

The last part above tells me we won't be seeing a photo anytime soon.

i hope the bastard is dead. but there is something fishy going on.

Oh Bin Laden is crab food now, don't doubt it. What you are seeing is Hussein milking this for all it's worth. They want to keep this story in the news for as long as possible because they know it is an approval ratings winner.

It’s this resistance to hurt the feelings of muslims by obumbler and jarrett that makes the Ustlermann info ring true, and yet the mods pull those threads.

Frustrating.

But you read what he says and it totally makes sense what happened and that jarrett is pulling dumbo’s strings.

Hussein Odumbo doesn’t want to offend his brothers. I hope they are offended. Then we could murder more of them when they attack us.

“According to a Drudge report, Obama couldn’t make up his mind about taking out Osama. . .he had “to sleep on it”. . .It sounds like this guy doesn’t have a clue how to be Presidential, and the idiots around him just make him look more ignorant.”

This is what happens when you take a guy, like I-bama, from the mail room and make him the CEO of your multi-national, multi trillion dollar company! I bet Trump, or Palin would not have hesitated t make the right decision!

Pressure will build and they will have to release it. I think that is what they want. The narrative will be that Obama did not want to release it for various reasons but were compelled to release the photos, albeit reluctantly. This will give them plausible deniability when it comes to the predictable outrage from the Muslim world.

They’ll release the photos during the next episode of The Apprentice.

So, the "puppetmaster" of the Obama puppet is a Chicago slumlord... Why am I not surprised?

That sounds like a good take on it IMO.

There was a photo floating around earlier (and it wasn’t the night-vision picture) that looked really convincing. The URL to the photo was http://www.tigernet.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/100-963156-10516777-87907/1304434203211.png but it has since been removed. Maybe a fellow FReeper has it saved and can post it.

Well Obama up to this point had done a pretty good job with this. First time I have said that since he was elected about anything.
But if they don't release pictures/documentation; it will be a huge mistake in many ways.

I was ok with dumping the body quickly, assuming they had lots of photographic evidence that would be released.

I’m starting to think that whoever said OBL was never involved in this whole situation/’on ice’ after dying years ago was right! I was a teacher for many years, and I’ve NEVER seen this kind of scurrying to cover some rear ends caught red handed with both hands in the cookie jar!!! And all this crap about ‘oooohh, it’s too graphic!” is crap—look no further than Hollywood for graphic pictures and movies put out EVERY DAY...in fact, most of America has become sensitized to graphic things, I know when that fake pic was released I didn’t blink twice, and I’m not hard hearted or hardened! I think the mastermind behind all of this (you just know it involves the Donald, don’t you? He was getting too close and diversions had to be made) did NOT think of the consequences of pissing off already p.o.’d Muslims around the world...

Barack Hussein Obama, meet Salmon Rushdie. I haven’t seen news of a fatwa declared against you by the Mullahs around the world...even worse, they consider you a Muslim because of the shady circumstances of your birth!You wanted the ‘glory’ from this operation you’d fought for YEARS?! Well, that glory comes with a big old giant target now painted on your back, and the backs of your wife, children, siblings, cousins, grandparent...

$20 says no photo is released. This admin. can't be trusted for anything. First they say a photo is coming and now this.

Ya know...

If obama said he killed Bin Laden, that's good enough for me...which means he didn't.

We thought he was probably killed at Tora Bora in 2001. I figure we need to kill him every ten years or so, the next time being 2021.

Looks like Panetta is having to make every important call for Hussein: http://thepage.time.com/2011/05/03/panetta-public-likely-to-see-obl-picture/

(I'm sure Hussein is quite confident when ordering ice cream)

Folks, they’re POLLING these 2 questions right now, to make the “release the photo” decision:

#1 HOW MUCH WILL THE LEFTISTS GET PISSED OFF BY OBAMA’S “VIOLENT/COWBOY/GWB” BEHAVIOR IF THEY SEE THE “DEAD OBL” PHOTO? VERSUS HOW “AMERICAN/PATRIOT” WILL OBAMA APPEAR (ANY BOOST TO COUNTER HIS COMMIE/MOSLEM REPUTATION)?

#2 HOW MUCH WILL OMOSLEM SUFFER IN THE POLLS AFTER THEY RELEASE THE PHOTO + THE “ARAB STREET” ERUPTS IN VIOLENCE + THE USA “BREEDS MORE TERRORISTS” BY OUR INSENSITIVITY? IN OTHER WORDS, WILL OMOSLEM GET BLAMED FOR INCITING THE NEXT ATTACK?

The polls + focus groups will dictate whether this photo is released.
