We'll see how this goes. I know this will probably end up in Hellfire, but important to note. Killed in Pakistan in a firefight apparently.

Edit. Pakistan I would imagine is going to be upset because they weren't warned or involved in our ops operation, most likely because of suspected allies in the Pakistan government.

Wasn't it reported some time ago that he had cancer?

He had cancer, heart problems, liver problems, kidney problems, and a dozen other things according to the rumor mill. Most of the rumors were only that, rumors. Cancer and most of the others can be treated depending on severity. Maybe we will find out the truth about his health from the autopsy.

And in an idiot move, the body has been buried at sea, which will only fuel rumors that it wasn't Osama bin Laden. It will also make it hard for his followers to recover, but really, dumb move overall.

I could see the burial at sea, if you had brought his body to America whatever city it ended up in would be a target. Wherever you buried the body or cremated him would become a muslim-extremist mecca.

I guess I can see the point. Hopwin's right. And those who don't believe, WON'T believe with any amount of proof.
But I'm sure Al Queda would be quick to post a video of him alive if he actually was. If they at least treat the body with a modicum of respect it prevents further outrage.

What proof? You mean the proof our government is now claiming it destroyed? There's no reason to believe the government now; if there ever was one in the first place.

Anyone who is outraged by the actions of our government on this matter ...

Well, I just don't know what to say.

I think its safe to say that Bin Laden's corpse may well have been subjected to this by some had he been burried.

I still say a shirtless Obama should've thrown Bin Laden's head down the stairs like Conan, then kicked the podium over. At least that's the way it happened in my head.

Got this in the mail from my wife; I'm not sure if they guy who sent it to her made it up, but, there's his credit, if so. I found it pretty funny.

Quote:
After getting nailed in an American firefight, Osama made his way to the pearly gates. There, he is greeted by George Washington.

"How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!" yells Mr. Washington, slapping Osama in the face. Patrick Henry comes up from behind: "You wanted to end the Americans' liberty, so they gave you death!" Henry punches Osama on the nose. James Madison comes up next, and says, "This is why I allowed the Federal government to provide for the common defense!" He drops a large weight on Osama's knee.

Osama is subject to similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James Monroe and 65 other 18th-century American revolutionaries. As he writhes on the ground, Thomas Jefferson picks him up to hurl him back toward the gate where he is to be judged.

As Osama awaits his journey to his final very hot destination, he screams, "This is not what I was promised!"

An angel replies: "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you. What did you think I said?"

I'm a proud Virginian by birth. We did Colonial History twice in elementary school. We just called one year "State History."
