Come to find out, they did NOT bury him with reverence for Muslim tradition. A person is supposed to be placed in a grave with his/her head pointed toward the holy city of Mecca, and what we did was a sea burial. According to Islamic scholars, sea burials are only OK in certain circumstances in which the death occurred on a ship. So, yeah, we didn't give him a "proper Islamic burial" at all. Just the opposite, in fact, and there are some pissed off Muslims out there right now too.

They're releasing all kinds of threats, WikiLeaks reported something about how Al-Qaeda has a nuclear bomb planted somewhere in Europe that would be detonated if Bin Laden was killed, and that it would unleash a "nuclear hellstorm" or something like that. Good lord, I think the manure just hit the fan.

It allows them to believe they can martyr themselves and go to heaven. It allows them to see honor in terrorizing us.

I would have ordered his body to fed to pigs, which would then have been slaughtered and buried in a way that would allow the carcass to rot into the ground. (No heaven, no honor, no glory, and damnation to eternal Hell.)

I would also threaten, and if necessary actually do this, to haul bomber loads of pig manure from hog farms in the US, and dump mile wide swaths of residue along borders, highways, known training areas, etc etc. It is far less expensive than a bomb, and far more effective in the military sense too!
I could not agree more. As far as I'm concerned, his stinking corpse should have been encased in a block of pig manure and left to rot in the sun. The towel-heads routinely did far worse to our soldiers. Paying concern to muslim "sensitivities" is nothing more than a direct insult and slap in the face to our brave special-forces soldiers that risked their lives to terminate this piece of scum.

I disagree. Dead is dead. It's a tribute to the soldiers that we haven't sunk to the despicable level of others but instead behaved as honorable human beings.

Exactly. People like Moose Whisperer just don't get it. They're no more evolved than the cretins who they aim to desecrate.

Yes, exactly the kind of response I predicted from you. Unsolicited, gratuitous personal attacks in place of any kind of cogent, coherent response to the issue at hand.

It seems you use words you don't yet understand, as my post was both "cogent" and "coherent." The truth hurts, huh partisan boy?

Now we know what the President meant when he said he had more important things to do than play games with that jackass Trump.

Trump is a fairly occasional customer of our business...once in awhile one of his "people" call up here and places an order. I'm so tempted the next time that happens to offer to throw in a bit of crow for free.
