Call me if things don't work out.
Ahh, using photos of dead people to smack down people willing to blow themselves up? Makes sense. NOT!

Instead of a short bloody war with the US as a clear cut victor it will take decades and countless US lives and suffering to placate fanatics.

What next ??? Boxing matches with 1 arm tied behind your back or 1 legged marathon runners representing the US.

Obama is a LIAR that can't even get his BS stories straight.

When they start sending in troops to the next war they should send in Liberals with cameras, rubber bullets and Valentines Day cards.

Obama is obviously UNFIT to lead and even makes that failure G. W. Bush look like a success.

You're right. The opposition doesn't even use photos, they parade your dead father/son/brother around smiling and cheering. Your response? Apologetic and understanding of how they parade your dead family members around.

Just because you're the definition of weak doesn't mean others around you want to become a bookmark in Webster's dictionary.

Right. We killed their religious leader after waging war against an entire Muslim nation because they "harbored al Queda" -- but we wouldn't want to UPSET the Muslims by releasing a picture of the body!

Makes perfect sense...if you're 5 years old.

Of a person we've claimed (to the entire world) -- for years now -- was no Muslim, or good, or a good Muslim...

I guess a few people missed the movie "Wag the Dog."

Rent it. And if you say it's just fiction, you haven't been involved in the inner workings of government or the military. Reality is often more bizarre than any fiction, because it's not limited by what people think as plausible.

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?
Its better they dont publicize in American media. The sensationalism is beyond stultifying and idiotic in U.S. trash media.

Far right claims to love U.S. well go light a candle and thank god for your blessings. It was a good thing...we should thank our country and end the vitriol.

CNN had a question on facebook about what we thought on the subject of the picture. I told them there's no reason for the White House to put out a picture. The National Enquirer will show several of them before long anyway. But I see no need. If a certain past president had announced Bin Laden was dead, some people would have said we believe you and left it at that.

Then how do you explain how the " past President" had pics of Saddam Hussein's dead sons released ???

So you are wrong in your assumption.

Default Narcissism made Obama not release photos ?

Quote:
Though the White House won't say it, not releasing the photos means that the images one associates with the death of bin Laden are those of Obama making the announcement and Obama and team waiting in the Situation Room. Not releasing the photos helps Obama own this event even more.
