    It has crossed my mind that there may be no photos of the body, because it may just look like a complete mess and totally unrecognizable-- a complete dismemberment. Once the guy was shot to death emotion may have taken over and the soldiers might have completely unloaded everything they had into him point blank-- after all, this wasn't just any member of Al Qaeda, this was THE guy and I'm sure at least 1 person in the room was willing to take it to that level. Photos of that would A) not really show / prove anything at all and B) photos of OBL looking FUBAR might really piss some people off and radicalize them further.

    I bet we'll never know.

    i don't think seals would ever do that...they're too well trained but, yeah, emotion could take over

    Marc Ambinder described the bin Laden raid in his excellent report on National Journal: “From Ghazi Air Base in Pakistan, the modified MH-60 helicopters made their way to the garrison suburb of Abbottabad, about 30 miles from the center of Islamabad. Aboard were Navy SEALs, flown across the border from Afghanistan, along with tactical signals, intelligence collectors, and navigators using highly classified hyperspectral imagers. After bursts of fire over 40 minutes, 22 people were killed or captured. One of the dead was Osama bin Laden, done in by a double tap—boom, boom—to the left side of his face. His body was aboard the choppers that made the trip back. One had experienced mechanical failure and was destroyed by US forces.”

    If you have ever seen what a gunshot wound to the head really looks like, than you would understand why they have not been released.

Why all of a sudden after the fake birth certificate came out this takes place? Just watch Wag The Dog...photos can be faked..lets see what they are going to release to the media..Just trying to figure out why now all of a sudden? What are they trying to take our minds off of? Libya, the fake certificate, radiation from Japan...

    Completely agree. I've also been thinking this strategically took place to take our minds off of something else, too.

    I don't see how this can be fake. He's either dead or they have captured him and are just saying he is dead otherwise Osama would just post a video of himself with todays newspaper. Maybe i'm missing something?

    I really just don't understand this birth certificate nonsense. Maybe because I am from a different political climate (in some ways anyway) but this kind of talk would have been dissmissed a long time ago in my country I feel. If any doubters could point me towards some sort of evidence I would appreciate it so I can understand more.
    Would he post a video of himself? The world thinks he's dead now. He can just shave off his beard and not have to worry about being hunted anymore.

    Reports are saying it was two shots, one to the head and one to the chest.

    The video of the burial at sea is supposed to be released soon but still no words on any photos

    great photo. i was listening to npr today and they were talking about how intense /tense this was for everyone. i guess when the helicopter went down their were some real worries. i understand too that pakistan actually started to scrammble( f 16's?) to the location when the mission was underway not knowing what was happening.

    Obama deserves no credit. Bush deserves no credit. The US Navy SEALs deserve the credit.

    Our foreign policy is what got us here, not because Muslims can't stand us playing video games and that we wear blue jeans.


    You're right Obama doesn't deserve a damn bit of credit. Wtf was I thinking? I forgot how he and his ilk tried to undermine our military and their interrogation techniques at every chance he could when he was a senator. :oops: Not to mention all the things he and his so called justice dept. tried to do to Bush and yet they couldn't prove a damn thing.

    Yes...that is what we, and common sense, are telling you. Please join us, we miss you.

    You're right though, we should watch a FUCKING MOVIE, to see how photo's can be faked. ET flying that bicycle past the moon. Fake. Aladdin on the magic carpet. Also fake. Believe it or not, the shark jumping in the original Batman movie. Yup. Fake.

    Great post! It's almost like the birther thing turned upside down. Some people are saying that the government is lying because we haven't seen any proof. When the proof is eventually released they are going to say it is faked. They are saying that the government is lying based on...here it comes...nothing..no proof just making it up! Keep living in your conspiracy theory world and watch a movie for tips on what's going to happen next. :lol:

    BOSTON -- 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.

    When his sister died in Boston, tissue from her body was taken by government officials for DNA testing, ABC News correspondent Brian Ross reported.

    A source told NewsCenter 5 that bin Laden's sister died in Boston about a year ago.

    The tissue sample was used to match the DNA found on the man killed by special forces troops who conducted the raid on bin Laden's Pakistani compound.

    Government officials claimed the DNA evidence provides a match with 99.9 percent confidence.

    The officials did not immediately say where or how the testing was done but the test explains why President Barack Obama was confident to announce the death to the world Sunday night. Obama provided no details on the identification process.

    The U.S. is believed to have collected DNA samples from bin Laden family members in the years since the 9/11 attacks that triggered the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan. It was unclear whether the U.S. also had fingerprints or some other means to identify the body on site.

    I'm just asking this because I have no idea how DNA testing works and I'm genuinely interested to know...

    Mohammed bin Laden had around 52 children with 22 wives. OBL was the only son he had with his 10th wife (some reports say he was their only child, some say he was their only son) so how likely is it that this DNA test can actually prove with "99.9%" accuracy that it is him? Surely with so many variables there has to be more than 0.1% doubt...

    Everybody is talking about justice being done with osama's death. Justice for who? The people who lost their lives on 9/11. I really don't think so because terrorism still exists. More then that the ignorance and misinformation about how this terrorism started and why it exists is still at an ultimate high. The truth is majority of the blissfully ignorant aren’t really interested in the truth; they are not interested in a real solution. They are more interested in revenge or winning, because to them world politics is a like a game of football. You need to win and kick ass. Well the real world does not operate like that.
    It is very easy to live in your bubble (a bubble created by fucking other countries up) and blame others. The matter of the fact is a country like Pakistan is the biggest victim of terrorism not the US. But this not a competition of who has more misery and death. But what it is is a reality check. Osama is Osama not because Muslims are barbarians who hate freedom. Osama is Osama because he has manipulated a fucked up situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan a situation created by the US in the 80s and early 90s to rile up support and brain wash the youth. What Osama started has spread like wild fire so killing Osama does not mean you won the War on Terror, and it does not mean the US of A has reigned supreme and justice is done. JUSTICE WILL BE DONE WHEN NO ONE IN THE FUTURE CAN MANIPULATE THE GRIM SITUATION OF A FAILED STATE AND BRAIN WASH YOUNG MEN INTO KILLING INNOCENT CIVILIAN. JUSTICE WILL BE DONE WHEN COUNTRIES DRIVEN BY GREED CAN’T INVADE WEAKER COUNTRIES AND KILL INNOCENT CIVILIANS IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM. That is when Justice will truly be done. But for that to happen people on both sides need to have balls to accept the truth! The truth that we are more interested in blaming each other, then finding a solution.
