My first thought was similar. We go to all the lengths in the world for
a decade to find and kill this guy. Then when we finally do kill him we
dump his body in the ocean the same day. It doesn't sound right to me.
It should be more like, U.S. captures Bin Laden, takes him to a secret
undisclosed location, and tells the world he's dead and buried at sea.
Why we would dispose of his remains so fast just seems fishy.

You would think we would want to keep and preserve his body for
posterity. I understand they have his DNA, photos, and all. But I would
have preferred for us to have kept his body, and done an autopsy on it.
If he's gone you can never go back and get the answers to any more
questions. It's just like with McVeigh. Dead men tell no tales. Maybe
Osama is in a cell right now somewhere getting ready for waterboarding.
I wouldn't put it past our government to do that.

It is a bit odd.... USgov can claim victory, but no messy proof around.
I was joking with co-workers last night that they probably heard he died

One thing you can count on from our government is that you can't count
on it. Our politicians are so two faced it's sickening. I saw a tape
last week that was filmed in Libya 20 months ago. In the tape it showed
Lindsay Graham, John McCain, and Joe Lieberman visiting with Ghadaffi.
They were shaking hands, smiling, and acting like the best of pals.

Now, all three U.S. senators are calling for us to kill Ghadaffi. What a
difference a few months makes. Not that long ago the senators were on a
first hand, friendly basis with the Libyan leader. Now they're calling
for his death.

It just goes to show how fast our politicians can turn on you. I
wouldn't trust any of those right wing senators any farther than I could
throw them. In my book their word isn't worth the time of day. It's not
like Ghadaffi's some kind of saint. It's just that our senators are not
really any different than he is. In fact, he may actually be better, at
least more trustworthy.

Why do you think the US stopped? Becuase they didn't publish daily
press releases about the necessarily secret operation?

I guess you haven't read (or listened to) Obama's speech. This
operation was based on intelligence that has been developed over the
past 9 months (since last August). I know that in the movies they get
everything done in two hours, but it often doesn't work that way in
real life.

If he were buried anywhere on land it'd just be an instant shrine --
this should significantly hold down on the hero-worship thingie, without
giving anyone an excuse to get bent out of shape about the way he was
buried.

Tactful, quick, anonymous. What, you wanted us to prove that he still
mattered to us by desecrating the body or something? Give him something
to laugh at before he finds out that those 99 virgins are all
wrinkled-up retired librarians who have no patience for trouble-makers?

The option was a wood chipper and a chum slick, but the Koran frowns on it.

All in all, burial at sea sounds like a smart plan. Either that, or sending
him into deep space. Hmmm...does the Koran say anything about artificial
resurrection? It's not like he's Catholic or anything...

Ah, I think they're supposed to get 72 houri, not 99. But maybe the ante has
been upped lately, as a recruiting tool for suicide bombers. And their
breasts are supposed to be fully rounded, and not sagging.

But, who knows? I can't read the original. It would be a real hoot if the
Koranic scholar who claims it really means white grapes and not virgins
turns out to be right.

One news report I heard (and I don't remember what channel) said that
the quick disposal was out of respect for Muslim burial law. The body
was bathed and enshrouded. Prayers were said and the body was gently
slid off a board into the ocean. Why a burial at sea? The person
speaking (who I think was a military offical, but I'm not sure) said
that they were unable to find a country that would accept the body for
burial - either out of distaste for the man or out of security
concerns.

If they really did bury his carcass at sea, and not just say they did
to placate the religion of peace, then I hope they embalmed him with
lard and sewed him into a pigskin shroud with coprolite weights.

I'd need to do the research to see how often the Muslim radicals attacked Jews and
Christians on their holidays or what customs and conventions were violated, I don't
believe I'd have to look long or hard to find them.

For a country, ours, that wants to separate church and state to honor the religious
beliefs of someone that wanted to destroy us seems discordant at best.

I'll have to fall back on how we are a better people and wonder if those we don't want to
offend don't rejoice because our observance of their customs make them believe we fear
them and their God.

There isn't a way to win on this. I'll toss out a conservative bone for you liberals.
Obama did okay fine at his level, better than Clinton when he had his shot, the
intelligence and war fighting community did well also.

The fundi rag heads will be ****ed. No way around that. We will persevere to kill off
the bright ones that can organize for as long as it takes.

The war is far from being over.

One news report I heard (and I don't remember what channel) said that
the quick disposal was out of respect for Muslim burial law. The body
was bathed and enshrouded. Prayers were said and the body was gently
slid off a board into the ocean. Why a burial at sea? The person
speaking (who I think was a military offical, but I'm not sure) said
that they were unable to find a country that would accept the body for
burial - either out of distaste for the man or out of security
concerns.


I'd need to do the research to see how often the Muslim radicals attacked Jews and
Christians on their holidays or what customs and conventions were violated, I don't
believe I'd have to look long or hard to find them.

For a country, ours, that wants to separate church and state to honor the religious
beliefs of someone that wanted to destroy us seems discordant at best.

I'll have to fall back on how we are a better people and wonder if those we don't want to
offend don't rejoice because our observance of their customs make them believe we fear
them and their God.


Nope, we honored the Islamic customs because we want to convince the
moderate Muslims that we have no beef with their faith. We will never
convince the extremists, so it doesn't matter what they think of it.
What Obama knows, and Bush never figured out, is that one good way to
put the brakes on terrorism is to stop creating more people who hate us.
We killed his sorry ass because we wanted all people to know that you
cannot do what he did to us and get away with it.

When we kill a Christian criminal or terrorist scumbag, either in a
gunfight or a death cell, we do not desecrate the body, we bury them
with the appropriate rites and trust God to handle the reprisals.

He was positively ID'd by people at the scene, photos the SEAL team
carried, and by DNA match. I'm sure a tissue sample is still available.

A great team effort by Intelligence agents and spec.ops.
Another win for Mr. Obama.

It was the PC correct thing to do. Permission to transport the body to
someone who would accept it within the 24 hours was not possible. His own
in Saudi Arabia wanted nothing to do with his corpse. Burial at sea is
acceptable to Muslims, but the last of a list of choices, thus a slight
affront to a man who seriously affronted many. So, they complied with the
PC list of choices, taking the last one rather than just running it through
a shredder first.

Which they may have done.

History has to tell that story.

If he was shot in the face, most of the face should stil be there.

Gunner, you mentioned that you had a number of fake ID, and false
identities, etc, but not everyone lives this way -- and it did not
get you very far either. It is better to have one good identity than
many crappy ones.

As far as I am concerned, and I may not have followed everything super
closely, Barack Obama is unusually honest and upstanding for a
politician.

Yeah and a man called his wife on a cell phone inside a completely shielded
tin fuselage travelling at 4 cell changes per second and found out that
terrorists were happening. Then the passengers retook the plane so the US
forces wouldn't shoot it down by mistake after they didn't answer the radio.

To change the subject (slightly). All of the networks have been playing
background clips on the war in Afghanistan. Of course, most of them include
clips of the WTC buildings ablaze. Or collapsing, etc..

On the BBC (on PBS), they have a clip of the first building on fire and the
second tower being struck. Its taken from at least a mile or two away. But
the audio track has a big 'Bang!' clearly audible at the exact moment of
the impact.

Hmm. Sound travels at approx. 1100 feet per second .....

Uh, if you've never used a cell phone on a plane, before they changed the
system, it worked very well. You locked onto one cell for a very long time,
and there were a lot of choices. It really tied up the cells around an
airport when half the people on all of the planes coming in for a landing
got on their phones at once, calling home to tell someone they were
arriving.

I did it all the time until they outlawed it.

Then the passengers retook the plane so the US forces wouldn't shoot it
down by mistake after they didn't answer the radio.


Are you saying you don't believe it happened on Flight 93?

(I think that was an editorial decision to shift the sound sync, Paul. g
Otherwise, probably 98% of the population wouldn't understand what was going

Sitting on the ground right next to the cell antenna, sure...well maybe.

You conveniently left out the part that takes time for the cell system to
switch cells when you move. It takes time and the plane would be moving if
it wanted to stay in the air.

The US had two plane attacks from terrorist hijacks and a third one, off
course, and not answering their call. They scrambled fighters too late to
intercept the first two but they were in the air freaking out.

You tell me what they did. Escort them to safety? Admit they shot their own
people down? They made up a story about heroics and blamed it on the
terrorists.

Bwahahahaha! cringe Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Questions: Was it really binLaden? Why now, after 9.5 years? Why the
burial at sea prior to confirmation?

It's awfully convenient after bogus birth cert #2, isn't it?

When I was the paper tonight, I was delighted that they'd finally
nabbed Obama bin Biden. Then I read more closely and was sad again.
