wtf? why in the fu*k did we respect bin ladens religion and bury him in the sea?
I've asked myself the same question, but I know the answer. Personally speaking I think his body should have been saved for shark feed, but of course we can't do that because we are forced to show respect to a mass-murderer and show the world how civilized and politically-correct we are. It's a shame that the same respect couldn't have been shown to the victims of 9/11 and the other acts of murder perpetrated by OBL and his minions -- you know, the victims whose bodies fell from the towers while their loved ones had to watch in horror, or whose bodies exploded, ripped apart by his terrorist bombs. Too bad they weren't given the same respect and had their bodies buried according to religious rite. But of course we know they weren't.
I believe in civility. I believe in respect of life. I believe that "an eye for an eye" as theory is not always the best approach to take when wronged. Sometimes it is. However - and this is a big however -- there are some things in this world that are simply black & white. Clearly cut. No room for interpretation. I believe with my whole heart and mind this is one of them ... Osama Bin Laden was one of the world's greatest killers, a mass murderer without a conscience. A mass murderer bent on destruction of a civilized world and it's inhabitants. A killer who murdered freely and with joy. He deserved absolutely no respect in any possible regard and his swift execution was righteous, and in fact, kind. He didn't suffer as his countless victims did.
Anything else would have been a travesty.

Tell that to the 88,000 brought in for "enhanced interrogation." Not one was brought to trial. Seven percent were picked up by our military, the rest were "volunteered" by others...many of whom collected large reward money.
I'm extremely happy about nabbing OBL....shoot I volunteered to try it myself. Knowing full well that it was the most dangerous enterprise imaginable.
For although the CIA has thought since September that he was in hiding in Abbottabad, special forces stormed his fortress only days after the website published new secret documents.
These made reference to named ‘couriers’ carrying Bin Laden’s message to his followers, and also to Abbottabad as a possible Al Qaeda bolthole.
America has already revealed that it was led to Bin Laden by tracking a man identified as his key courier.
When that courier was found in Abbottabad, the CIA began surveillance that led to the raid.
As a result, last night it was suggested the operation had to be launched before Bin Laden knew the game was up.
i can't help but shrug. the president set a priority and followed through. now the dude is dead, operation went off successfully, no American casualties.

Show respect? It wasn't to show respect. We allegedly went in a murdered the man in front of his children! And you believe the "respect" story?
There was no body and the "sea burial" scenario makes sure there is no question of any "forensics" being done on this imaginary body.

This has nothing to do with being "politically correct," and everything to do with not providing a tomb for bin Laden that would morph into a religious shrine for those Muslims who hate us, and not offending the many more who don't. Still, I agree...he was a mass murderer and psychopath; it was a fitting end to his machinations.

It would seem to be that simple, but now that the long-form birth certificate was produced and it's clear that President Obama is an American and has been one since birth, the conspiracy nuts have been running in circles and shrieking to the high heavens that there is a massive conspiracy. It starts with President Obama and apparently includes everyone in the military or intelligence community, as well as the Navy SEALS who carried out the mission. Some of us think it's paranoid schizophrenia, others cognitive dissonance. Either way, it's an issue of mental health now, and beyond partisanship.
