DEVELOPING: Usama bin Laden was given a religious funeral prior to his burial at sea, senior military officials told Fox News.

Religious rites were conducted on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier at about 1:10 a.m. Monday in the Persian Gulf.

In accordance with Islamic practice, bin Laden was washed and wrapped in a white sheet before buried at sea at 2 p.m. local time, senior U.S. military and intelligence officials said.

Well, yeah-—getting launched/dropped/shot off one of our carriers is gonna result in a “full body wash”. And you wouldn’t believe the firehoses those guys have-—they can “really” wash stuff.

Islamic funerals involve anointing the body with rosewater-scented lard, right?

panetta watched the attack live, soldiers w/ helmet cams?

Then was that data stream likewise recorded? Simple enough to do so. Almost would seem a legal requirement with today's "data rentention" policies.

The press was adamant about obtaining photos of dead US soldiers (Freedom of Information Act). How long before the press DEMANDS the release of the Osama Bin Laden photos/video?

Saddam's sons were killed and photographed.

BO should know by now, put up or shut up.

Sec. of State Hillary Clinton said that we'd been after Osama for over 10 years. Yep. HER husband was the one who let him get away in the FIRST place.

Muzzie law #623 says burial at sea is only acceptable if the body can’t be preserved for burial on land. Since it’s not the 7th century, we have refrigerators. Now the body is conveniently unavailable to show proof to cynical and skeptical Patriots that believe nothing coming out of the lying mouth of BO.

With a white sheet wrapped around his body and Koran in hand, he was gently lowered into the sea. I am sure he had a Muslim Imam blessing the body and providing a service to make sure that Osama can enter Jannah (their Heaven).

So wait, we CAN'T flush a koran down the toilet but we CAN dump one in the sea?

How long before the next Islamic protest riot?

There will be a shrine at the site of his death - the “mansion”/hovel in Pah-kistan.

So, in essence, one of the things we did here is send the message, “No martyr here.”

No body.

Uh huh...

Did you notice how, when "Saddam was hanged," the camera cut away and the image of his face got blurry just before they released the trap door?

I don't "KNOW" anything any more that I don't witness myself, and even then I might question it. Osama might not be dead. Saddam might not be dead. Hell, even Timothy McVeigh might not be dead for all I know.

What a world.

What we recovered was treated very, very respectfully.

Thank you for that unrelated point that I am very well aware of. Read my post again and join me in asking again how the murdered Americans bodies were treated ON 9/11/2001.

As we will both agree, scattering bodies and parts of bodies in the streets, on the roofs, and all over Lower Manhattan and elsewhere is something less than respectful. And so in turn, those murdering animals don't deserve one shred of respect either.

I’m not saying we didn’t get him (I’m not in the tinfoil crowd) but people who say we didn’t get him aren’t saying the SEALs are lying. You haven’t seen any SEALs on TV claiming they got him, have you? If, hypothetically, this was a load of crap, it would just be Obama and certain Obama cronies claiming they sent SEALs to do something.

Did they give him a 21 urine stream salute before dumping his ass out to sea?

wondering how respectful the bodies were treated of the many victims trapped in the World Trade Center and on the planes and in the Pentagon on 9/11/2001.

.....mentioning as well our soldiers whose BODIES they set on fire dragging them thru their dusty dirty streets, and then strung them up on a bridge while they celebrated. And thereafter posted them all over the internet for all to see via video and photos.

Actually, the fact that they removed his clothes and washed the body means we were saying he was no martyr. He got the same treatment under islamic law that a guy who had a heart attack while running his flower shop would get. Martyrs are buried in the clothes they died in.

That said, I prefer the bacon treatment. Any Muslims who freaked out because we put pig fat on a guy who murdered 3,000+ innocent people (don’t forget USS Cole, Tanzania, etc.) is the type of Muslim who likes terrorism anyway.

I understood it was a Muslim who performed these rites.

Nah, a properly weighted body would be well below the ship by the time the props came by.

Oh we are happy.
The thought that Obama demanded that this Mass MURDERER get a “proper” burial is what is to much to stomach.
