You want to know what else is funny? The same people here that don't need the photos to be sure they were told the truth are the same ones who believed the first story released from the WH about the raid with....wait for it....wait for it.... ABSOLUTELY NO FACTS! Now, they believe the second and third stories the same way when there are NO FACTS! Didn't the first one not being the truth tell you guys something? I mean really, you got people saying that we should trust that the gov. is telling us the truth while they believe a FAKE story that the WH put out and have no problem at all just moving right to the next one and believing that one just as well.

Without the release of photos, or a body, I have absolutely no reason to believe the official story. It looks like the administration is hiding something.

People who believe a pro corporate/pro military administration without question are quite naive. Wikileaks, alone, should be proof of the cover up and other junk our Government does. We should all be united in demanding evidence and facts.
i am probably way to the right of you then, but i have to agree with the point of your post.

as my father used to say, "trust, but verify".

there really is historical proof of danger with blind allegiance.

Anything short of squeezing the trigger yourself wouldn't satisfy people who think like you do.

Those who have family in the military know that the photos have been released to certain parties. There are enough of us who are utterly convinced that it did, in fact, happen. Just because the "general public" may not be privy to them, it doesn't mean that they don't exist. As some have already stated, there are people out there who could see the real deal and swear that they were photo-shopped. Do we always hear the truth? No, that's for certain. Are we always lied to...again, no, that's for certain.

Why were photos of Saddam and his boys shown? Not to mention all the other photos of "the enemy" shown over time? Saddam boys were pretty gruesome as well. I didnt hear to many complaints about those.

fair enough. there is a tiny contingent amongst the left who seem to think the way you do, though. the rest are more than happy to believe whatever announcement comes from obama's mouth - even if he said something very different just the day before...

Congress has a well established history of lying. I don't think those that want to see some actual proof are that far out of line.

As far as savagery goes there was ample savagery on display by the nitwits dancing in the streets the night of the announcement.

The people in the military don't know if it was really OBL. All they know is that some mission went down. Every soldier was NOT shown the DNA results if any at all were.

Yes, lets all cower and be afraid, lets not stand up for ourselves.

The situation was inflamed when two planes attacked the WTC......







Yes, lets not get inflamed at the person who did this.....

I would LOVE to see you try it.
