    this is a great pic. everyone looks so concerned and unsettled. they know that it is a make or break situation and that they are on the cusp of doing something historic. i'll bet more than a few sphincters are puckered up in that room...

    Apparently the larger rooms had a poor WiFi signal for the Live Skype feed they were watching of the execution.
    Imagine, just before the kill shot, the feed starts to buffer? Can't have that happening my friend.

    and you may never see it


    In an interview with Steve Kroft for this Sunday's 60 Minutes, President Obama says he won't release post-mortem images of Osama Bin Laden taken to prove his death.

    Video of the comments will appear on the CBS "Evening News" on Wednesday.

    Republican House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said Wednesday that the Obama administration should not release the gruesome postmortem images, saying it could complicate the job for American troops overseas.

    "The risks of release outweigh the benefits," he said. "Conspiracy theorists around the world will just claim the photos are doctored anyway, and there is a real risk that releasing the photos will only serve to inflame public opinion in the Middle East."

    "Imagine how the American people would react if Al Qaida killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the internet," he continued. "Osama bin Laden is not a trophy - he is dead and let's now focus on continuing the fight until Al Qaida has been eliminated."

    Skeptics have called on the United States to release photos of bin Laden, who officials say was shot in the face during a raid on his compound, in order to prove that the al Qaeda leader is really dead.

    The White House says it is debating whether to release the photographs, which are believed to be extremely graphic. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday that the photos could inflame anti-American sentiment. CIA director Leon Panetta told CBS News Tuesday that he thinks a photo will be released, though he said the White House will make the final decision. He told NBC News that "I don't think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public."

    Two Republican senators -- Saxby Chambliss, R-GA, Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and Armed Services Committee, and Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, a member of the Armed Services Committee - told CBS News Wednesday they had seen post-mortem photographs of bin Laden.

    Photoshopped images purporting to show bin Laden after he was killed have already surfaced on the Internet.

    I am going to have to disagree. I think that this is what the American people, and New Yorkers especially, want right now.
    If I remember correctly, you are a fan of Ron Paul. What if, instead of Obama, it was Paul who was making this trip to Ground Zero? Would you have a different opinion?

    I am not saying that you are wrong, and it is clear that politicians use situations for political gain, but isn't it possible that Obama is doing what he thinks, and I think, the American people want?
    well said

    but it's more so what new yawkers need/want and the families who lost loved ones on 9-11 and the emergency workers who lost coworkers on 9-11

    Just saw on the news footage of Pakistani men weeping over the death of their "martyr" Osama.
    Bunch of evil sick fucks, they all need to be mowed down by machine gun bullets.

    I hope you're trying to be that ironic.

    Call me crazy, but shouldn't the highly trained Navy Seals be able to incapacitate an unarmed man who may be resisting capture without blowing off a portion of his head?
    yes they can, but they were ordered to shoot to kill by the commander in chief. what are they gonna do, defy military orders from the commander in chief just cause they could probably killed ubl with their bare hands, ummm no.

    EDIT: I had typed out this big thing but whatever dude. Keep judging us Americans and correcting our comprehension. Trying to get you guys to understand how we feel about Bin Laden taking well- deserved bullets to the head is no longer worth the effort. Since you're all so superior I"m sure you'll figure it out eventually.
    See what I did there? I put in bold every generalization that you took so personally. I understand. People are defensive since they're always right. But since I can't respond to all the ridiculous responses on here, I chose yours because you got on metsfan for not agreeing with a quote. That just seemed petty to me. And I didn't even say one thing about that bullshit MLK quote you chastised the guy about! See, I'm not such a bad guy!
    EDIT 2: seems I did bring up the quote. oops.

    :clap::clap::clap: :thumbup:

    "Possibly" is in all caps (which is shouting right?) Multiple question marks. " WTF" stands for "What the fuck"?
    "I didn't judge you" followed immediately by a judgement: "I was shocked that someone could dislike it, and I called you out..."

    I don't know, seems a little hostile to me. Paul you may need to switch to Decaf!
    Hmmm...
    :clap::clap:

    point: I have said time and again I have no issue with bin Laden being killed the way he was
    point: how am I judging Americans? SHOW ME where I have judged Americans. (see what I did there? I put it in all caps because you took that so personally)
    point: I was shocked that someone disliked that quote, and so I asked him about it. he got all pissy and hiding behind "free speech" and not answering
    point: who said anything about "us" being superior?
    point: who said anything about always being right? you seem to be making a whole lot of shit up here. you may want to stop that.
    point: putting words in all caps is good for inflection. he can't see/hear me, so putting it in all caps emphasizes the word. sorry, I'll just underline it next time.
    point: so this is letting it go, metsfan? :|
    point: you say I'm petty for disagreeing with him, but he's not petty for disagreeing with someone else. how is it remotely petty to disagree with someone during a discussion?

    I simply asked for clarification on his little unhappy faces, and you guys turn it into me being anti-American. :roll:

    yes, I drink caffeine. what the hell are you drinking? :lol:

    Actually, with the way everyone in that picture is looking, I really thought it was a live feed on what Bill Clinton was doing at that moment.

    absolutely nothing. why do you assume that I have an agenda against you? I don't even know you.

    I'll admit the way I asked the question could have been different. I was just shocked is all, and didn't quite understand it. My apologies for how I worded it.

    Yes, like we all love Pearl Jam. I think these debates would be a lot more friendly and productive if we listened to PJ while posting. That way, we can let some of their vibes sink in a bit and quell the hatred.

    I wonder if all those racist KKK rednecks that were against Obama being elected President now like him after his achievement?
