I think that there will be retaliation no matter if the pictures are released or not...the head is off the snake...now there are many, many jockeying for leadership in their network...there are many already inflamed on the Arab street...violence will flow out of this whether the pictures are in the mix or not. The Muslims do not need an excuse to hate America..they already do..they do not need a picture to force them to blow somebody up, shoot somebody...chop the head off of somebody...they already do that. Our boys are in harms way...pictures or not. Releasing the pictures is for us...the American people...1) to prove that our less than truthful president is telling the truth 2) to give some closure to the victims of 9/11..in essence we all were victimized by that horrible day..we need to know without a doubt that he is gone, out of the picture...Obama has made it almost certain that people will be questioning this for years to come..because he has shrouded this in secrecy...much like his own life. Will there ever be any transparency with this guy...even in this?
No, there won’t be any transparency. We’ve seen that question answered over the last few days.
I’m not sure a head shot of Osama with his face mutilated by gunfire is going to fail to launch people on the street into a tirade.
I believe the guy is dead. I don’t need to see it.
I’ll continue to error on the side of our troops safety. I appreciate the alternative opinion. Take care.
perhaps even more ...These cave dwellers respect only strength. Anything else is seen as weakness - and gives them the momentum to attack.
If they see the photos, for one hing, they'll believe He's DEAD and for another, each man - no matter what group he belongs to - still is concerned about no. 1, himself. If they see that photo - they have to think: "If they got him, they can get me. And I really don't want to end up like THAT!"
