Bin Laden is dead!

Re: Bin Laden is dead!

I'm glad the photos won't be "officially" released. They may leak out at some point down the line.

So what if some will doubt he is actually dead? Those of us who live in the real world know what's up.

Yeah, and like I said earlier, even if they were released there will still be people who will say those pictures are fake. So in the long run, it really doesn't matter if they are released or not.

Agreed 100%

And if he was alive and this was all made up, wouldn't Al-Queda and bin Laden be the first ones to release a video proving that he was still alive in hopes of convincing the whole world the the US was only making this up and that our country is being run by the most evil of all people?

The bottom line is there is no way the US would lie about this because we could instantly lose all credibility for pulling such a stupid stunt. There is really nothing to gain for it as it would be far to easy to disprove.

I guess the only speculation could then be that the government has him in custody instead of him being dead, but for the entire world, is there really any difference?

Re: Bin Laden is dead!

I agree that not releasing the photos was the best option. President Obama is thinking in the best interest of the safety of the United Sates it's citizens and our troops around the globe. If the photos were to be released that could mean the repercussions could come sooner than later.

Re: Bin Laden is dead!

Yeah, honestly, I don't even want to see the photographs. This man was evil and I'm glad he's gone, but I don't want to see the pictures, I'll take their word for it that he's no longer living.

Re: Bin Laden is dead!

People have a ton of hate in this thread and around the world. I feel sorry for them all. People are not born Monsters, they experience things and evolve into them. I would like to know what pushed Osama to the point where he felt there was no other way?

This is not provable, and neither is the reverse. You make it sound as if he was doing just fine and then suddenly some "stressor" made him snap. Sorry if it "offends" anyone, but if this is not inherent, it's certainly engrained. Which in turn brings it to a characterological level, not some mental health breakdown or crisis. This guy has been learning how to be and act (and act on) this method throughout his life, because, in part, his sub-culture has trained him that way. Put your political correctness training aside and DO NOT excuse him.

Obama's reasoning for not releasing the dead Osama photos:

"We don't need to spike the football."

USA = Barry Sanders

Wow, what makes a teenager allow older men to convince him to stap explosive to himself and then blow himslef up?

What convinces a parent to allow explosives to be strapped to a little girl then walk her toward military personnel and then blow her up?

What convinces an "man" that he should use his family as a human shield in a fire fight in order to gain a momentary advantage in a fire fight?

Bin Laden took the Islamic religion and twisted it around and used it to convince countless muslims that suicide, murder and cowardes is the way to send a messenge. How many, muslims, suicide bombers and thier families has his "messege" ruined.

Bin Laden was a sociopath. The "hate" stems from the fact that he launched a war against this country and uses unarmed civilians to fire th first shot of that war. As much as we hate to admit it. Bid Laden was mildly successful in having a lasting affect on our way of life. Air travel will never bw the same.

Re: Bin Laden is dead!

So we can get photos of Saddam's sons are jacked up and we can get video of Daniel Pearl getting his head lopped off but we can't get OBL photos.

LOLz just like clockwork...

And people wonder why there's conspiracy theories.

I'll repeat this here I guess.

Saddam's sons weren't anyone's heroes. They were spoiled rich kids. And Daniel Pearl's video wasn't released by any US media. The OBL pictures will eventually be available. They will be strategically leaked.

Re: Bin Laden is dead!

Let's not forget the 9/11 attacks was not the first attacks on America orchestrated by UBL. He is responsible for the US Embassy in Kenya, The bombing of the USS Cole, The World Trade Center bombing in 93, and many more.

Mildly successful? It's arguable the he has had more of an impact on the daily life of Americans than any person in history. Which is only a great reminder for how important it was for the U.S. to take action.

Apples and oranges. Saddam's sons didn't have the ideological following of an Osama bin Laden and short of shutting down the Internet, it was impossible to prevent Pearl's beheading from going mainstream.

There are conspiracy theories because people love a good conspiracy theory.

This report was recanted... his wife was shot in the leg and not killed, and not used as a human shield.
