Why did they dump the body?

Why now?

Where's the proof of death?

The U.S. Government owes the world a picture of Bin Laden's corpse. That's the least it can do to stave off the inevitable backlash of a zero proof operation. And of all people, Barack Obama should ensure that the release of the picture happens. This nation is already skeptical of the President. It certainly will not suffice to just take his word for it.

PS...before the Nutzoid Left joins in a cacaphony of "there's already a picture!!!".....the picture widely circulated in Pakistan and throughout has already been debunked as fake.

Supposedly, there are photographs of the body. That's what I heard last night. They have not yet been released, they didn't say why. Maybe they're too gruesome.

I know they gave him the Muslim rights of burial (washing the body and burying it within a 24 hour period). They buried it at sea so they could not turn his grave into a shrine.

Maybe the Islam fanatics will all jump in the ocean looking for him? Not a bad idea...

Gas is about to hit 5 dollars. In some places it already has
Unemployment is up.
Trump is raping Obama through the media.

Just guesses.

Why did the dump the body so quickly, that is a good question.

I'm thinking it's hard to bomb the ocean with your recruits.

Dumping the body? No.

Why now? Because it happened recently. I'd suspect they would not want to disclose this in a few decades.

Proof of death is like proof of Obama's birth. The believers will believe, the others would demand a personal part of his body for DNA testing.

The timing is suspect.

Guaranteed to raise obama's poll numbers.

Still amazed at all of the pacifist, anti-waterboarding, anti-Patriot Act lefties squealing with delight.

Would the celebration by the left be the same if it had been a republican POTUS?

Just playing devils advocate.

Why does it have to be labeled a conspiracy theory?

Are people supposed to believe everything they are told and not require proof or question anything?

As usual, the simplest answers are usually correct.

The body was buried at sea for two excellent reasons:

1) it is in compliance with Muslim religious ritual regarding death, in which deceased must be laid to rest the same day as death

2) it avoids establishing a totem and focal point for extremists as happened with the body of Khomeini.

To ignore these two excellent reasons and retain the remains for the sole reason of appeasing the ravings of conspiracy theorists would have been short-sighted, stupid and ultimately ineffective.
