the more I think about this, the more I think it is hilarious .. Obama gets bin laden, but he can’t benefit politically, because he is so inept, he can’t be decisive on the photo issue.. finally he says no way, after vacillating for days and multiple messages coming out of his regime ...
IF they didn’t want to show pictures all they needed to say is “the pictures are so gruesome he isn’t recognizable, releasing them won’t prove he is dead because all that is left is hamburger” ... or something pc that says the same thing..
but instead, he looks weak and the story continues to change. he may be good at chicago style arm-twisting, but looking strong and decisive isn’t working for him.
You are totally right on that. Indeed, that whole sentence could be a dictionary description of the man.

Everyone is accepting, at face value, that l-bamba suddenly grew up and orchestrated this operation. I think this story is in total character - and the photo corroborates it - sitting sunken down in the corner, a look of total fright and confusion on his face - and still in his golf clothes.
Had he been in charge, he'd be dressed ‘presidentially’ and, presenting a stance of command for the historic photo. (I surmise he was over a hour late to the TV announcement because they had a helleva time getting him to stand up straight.)
