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.

It might also be "reasonable to conclude" that "Finny" is a imbicile who couldn't find her/his/its ass in the dark with an extra set of hands.

I have YET to hear an explanation from anyone, and especially you two "genius" internet "warriors" about how either turning the body over to Pakistan, or burying it in the ground someone in the Arabian peninsula or Hindi Kush would be better than dumping the body at sea.

I have YET to hear anyone explain how desecrating in someway the body of a Muslim, no matter how vile that Muslim might be, would benefit the mission of the American service men & women operating in MUSLIM countries. But hey, if you two "geniuses" can think of something, I'm all ears.

You two morons are what gives thinking conservatives fits. That's my absolute conclusion.

BTW, HERE's the reason I don't believe MANC ever stepped foot in Iraq or Afghanistan - Anyone who has been there and has interacted with the native muslim population in an even ancillary way, would know that the bodies of martyrs in Islam are treated in a VERY different way than people who are NOT martyrs. What is one of those different ways. The bodies of martyrs, and even those Muslims who are killed in a battlefield ARE NOT washed. What is suppose to happen is their wounds are to be covered, then they're wrapped in white then buried. The DoD made a point of specifically mentioning on SEVERAL times that the body of Osama bin Laden WAS WASHED before burial. They did that SPECIFICALLY so his martyrdom would be denied. Of course, neither of you understand it. Not surprising. Not surprising AT ALL.

How does this swine deserve any religious deference?

Hopefully one of our Seals had the nuts to cut an ear off this pig for the Smithsonian, I'd like to see it.

All the griping about OBL’s burial, but don’t forget, we allowed Saddam Hussein to be buried with full Islamic customs in his own family mausoleum in Tikrit. How much consternation was expressed then?

Why are you less stupid in person? I don't find that likely at all.

I'll type more slowly, perhaps that will help.

Please, explain why the DoD did what it did was worse for US service members than the idiocy that you suggest.

DF, FRiend there is a difference, Saddam was an ass to his people, OBL was responsible for killing thousands of our people.

we have respected his religion the very same religion which started all of this crap and death.

Those idiots on the loony left saying this prayer service was good and that we should not piss off the enemy are just complete nuts but that is expected form the far left and their trolls.

I’ll meet with you and then we can go back and forth and then you can insult me, and then I can convince you.

Don;t do it on the internet but face to face seeing as you are in my state and I travel around here a lot I guarantee that I would be near your town within two weeks.

20 posts from you and still not a single one detailing why you think what the DoD did was wrong, and what would have been BETTER.

Instead, we're treated to more bravado and whatnot.

The only "mouthy" one here boy, is you.

All you and your big mouth have done this entire thread is babble about why burying Osama with some modicum of religious respect while we fight three wars in MUSLIM countries was some kind of "hippy" or "war protester", "code pink" kind of idea.

Then, when asked to provide some explanation about why this is, you become personally threatening and even more hostile. It's all the classic signs of a phony, no matter how "tough" you want to be, it's just not believable.

you believe what you want but there are people on here who will know me and back me up and who has met me or know what I am like.

BTW It is not just me but if you read this thread, read the posts to you off others and go around this site you will see you stand with obama and your views are not in line with site

So they washed him before dumping him into the ocean?

And boy did they do it quick! I think we would have kept Hitler's body for all to see.

correct we would have like we did with Saddam's sons giving him his religious burial and that religion was the cause of all this is disgusting. Imagine if we had the love fest fight a war but do not upset them mind frame back against Hitler we'd have never won for sure

Not sure what the Russians did with it.

I’ll look it up....

The Russians said they confirmed one of the charred bodies was Hitler via dental records - but they boxed up the bones and showed absolutely nobody and said they disposed of the bones - but others think they are still crated up somewhere in Moscow.
