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. Hawke |

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. Hawke |

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. -- Ed Huntress |

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.

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.

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. i |

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. ----------------------- "Paul Hovnanian P.E." wrote in message diainc... 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? ----------------------- "Paul Hovnanian P.E." wrote in message diainc... To change the subject (slightly).

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. ------------------- "Ed Huntress" wrote in message ...

Makes one long for Bubba Clinton again..cringe 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. -- Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all--the apathy of human beings. -- Helen Keller |
