Pics or it didn’t happen.
As much as the original story of OBL’s death changed i cant help but be suspicious. Originally it was reported that a predator drone fired a rocket into OBL’s mansion. The fact that OBL’s capture, trial, and execution would at the very least provide a major propaganda victory in the war on terror and possibly provide valuable intelligence on AQ leadership, finances, and operations that could potentially save lives in Afghanistan. Instead now OBL will act as a martyr for the AQ fighters possibly re-energizeing their cause, everything OBL knew is now lost with him.
Due to the discrepancy in the story, the only evidence of the assassination in circulation being photo-shopped pictures, and the pure propaganda value that the capture,trial, and humiliation of OBL would provide lead me to disbelieve the official story. Its much more likely he died from natural causes and the Obama administration is making some half-assed effort to take credit for his death(after all it is unlikely that the U.S. would admit to OBL dieing of natural causes after all the time, lives, and money spent hunting him down), or possibly bring closure to the war on terror. It makes no strategic sense to just kill the fucker off, when he is much more valuable alive( for the time being at least).

a-compound
b-his wife’s in custody and talking
c-We hit that compound (wreckage and tweets)
d-Al Quaeda recognized death
c- No new tapes from the OBL.
That works for me.
First you say it did not happen, then you say we should have captured him. It makes better sense to waste the fucker and not allow our courts system (Holder) to even have a chance to piss us all off by protecting him.
The irony is that if he was in that compound for 5 years, he was in his own self made prison to begin with.

Besides at the very least releasing the picture(assuming they exist, would send a message to the AQ, “This is what happens when you fuck with us” rather than allowing AQ to be able to totally frame what supposedly happened.
What i said is that if it did happen OBL would have been captured rather than killed, he was too valuable of an asset to not take alive.

that’s a shitty reason for releasing the picture. AQ knows well and good the message that’s been sent to them. they get fucked up all the time in Iraq and Afg. They don’t need a picture of Osama’s blown-up head to tell them that.

from my understanding, the Seals were told by Obama to take him alive if possible, but if he presents any threat, take him out. And from what I read, Osama went towards a stockpile of weapons lying around. and he got owned. in da face.[/quote]

Its a much better reason than for not releasing any pictures
2.I find it hard to believe that a 54 year old dialysis patient who has supposedly been confined inside a house for 5 years who lived most of his life in a region where the avg. life expectancy for men is 46 could outrun navy seals, and i again point out Eric Holders qoute “You’re talking about a hypothetical that will never occur. We will be reading Miranda rights to the corpse of Obama bin Laden. He will never appear in an American courtroom. That’s the realityâ?¦.He will be killed by us or he will be killed by his own people, so he’s not captured by us. We know that.” Can Holder see the future, or is it more likely the Obama administration new OBL was already dead and would never have to deal with the embarrassment of him getting off on a civilian trial.
OBL is just the U.S.'s very own version of Emmanuel Goldstein that the Obama administration finally decided to lay to rest
