And what? Let them make a martyr out of him?

Don't you think if Osama was not killed in this operation he would be on Al Jazeera right now?

If not right now, it would be soon.

I wonder if he made a Ghost tape in the event he was killed, to keep the followers going???

To ignore these two excellent reasons and retain the remains for the sole reason of appeasing the ravings of conspiracy theorists would have been short-sighted, stupid and ultimately ineffective.
Who gives a flying f**k about what the Muslims want according to his burial. Screw them, where's the proof that this is OBL? That's why they dumped it so quickly. I don't believe this administration for a second.

As I said on another thread, I knew it wouldn't be long before the "Right-wing conspiracy threads" begin flowing.

You'll keep it up & maybe Fox News will follow your hearts & do the airing this evening.

Glenn Beck is probably posting on this thread right now. Lol!!

Anyone else get the feeling we'll be watching Weekend At Bin Laddy's (Bernie's) for a few months/years?

Sorry, I am NOT right wing and agree with Sourd (except the Bush administration would've done the same thing if they had thought of it)



Where is the proof bin Ladin is dead? There is NO proof.

NONE.

PS...before the Nutzoid Left joins in a cacaphony of "there's already a picture!!!".....the picture widely circulated in Pakistan and throughout has already been debunked as fake.
The level of contraire directed to President Obama is pathethic.

Exactly. Label it a "conspiracy" and no one can legitimately question the government.
