Seriously, if President Bush had directed a mission that resulted in the killing of OBL I would have accepted it and been relieved....pictures or not. For one thing, I don't believe that the SEALS would allow their integrity to be used in this way to spread a falsehood. For another, I don't believe you could have that many people involved in a conspiracy without the truth coming out. Good grief, they couldn't even keep a secret for an hour when they were waiting for President Obama to announce the killing of OBL.

But I must say this. We have some very serious problems in this country right now that threaten our very foundation. I believe those problems can only be solved by all parties working together in good faith for love of country. These continual sideshows and conspiracy theories only distract from the issues that are of real and lasting importance and prevent the working together that is so vitally needed if our country is to survive.

I only fear that someday our grandchildren will look back at this period of history with scorn when they see that our beloved country was not destroyed from without but from within by our hatred and distrust of our fellow Americans.

I find that VERY sick and sad.

He is president, and deseves some respect. For those who hate him so much, maybe they should go back to school or do something productive, instead of watching Trump on E! channel.


When you don't respect the Constitution what else do you expect?

As someone else said earlier in this thread, this was a CIA operative. Don't you think that it's possible that they may have more information on this subject than you do? Oh say it isn't so? It's another conspiracy I tell you! No one knows more than these conspiracy theorists! You take that BACK!
On an additional note...Someone made an earlier comment about the truth coming out, once the SEALS who undertook this assignment, start being interviewed and "talking". Don't look for that to happen any time soon. Remember? These people do NOT exist. They are ghosts. There is a REASON these people were chosen for this mission. Why would anyone with common sense want these people to come forward and boast about their mission? To do so, would likely mean suicide and/or death to their families. Why do people think no one stepped forward to claim a $25,000,000 reward for the arrest and capture of Bin Laden? 25 mil doesn't do you any good if you and your entire family are dead! Have we forgotten who these people are? These are terrorists/sociopaths...they are hiding everywhere.....in plain sight!

The military experts thought it would be best to scorch the earth when it came to eliminating Bin Laden. Obama thought different, it was a risky decision but a better won. Just shut up and trust Obama for once.
Ummm.. we've seen his judgement in not only friends and acquaintances but in the ability to choose new friends and acquaintances. It's hardly awe-inspiring.

The same Obama haters who hated him before the election are participating in this thread, the
underlying reason is clearly bigotry.

How America is portrayed to the rest of the world, lies
in our actions, all of them (by example).

The photos will eventually be released for historical purposes. Until that happens, I am afraid the children will have to be content with their make believe theories, which they would have regardless. Currently there is no point in releasing them.

Right and Obama NOT parading Bin Laden's head around on a stick sets a good example....
