One wonders if some prankster may have sneaked a few pounds of bacon into the late Mister Bin Laden shortly before burial.

General Pershing had some Muslim problems in the Phillapines during the Moro Insurrection around the turn of the last century.

He captured some Muslems, shot most of them, had their bodies wrapped in pig skins, turned the Muslim witnesses he’d kept alive loose to go tell their leaders what had happened, and there was very little “Moro Insurrection” to deal with after that.

I might have not gotten this story completely right but gGen. Pershink knew how to deal with the bastards.

Even if true, they could have stuffed his brain bucket with Spam and pieced it back together for a quick photo.

reminds me of the scars on Obamas head...

General “Black” Jack Pershing. He knew how to demoralize and defeat the mussies, didn't he?

Thank you for the reminder.

Can you imagine his tactics being carried out today? They'd slow roast HIM on a spit and let the mussies free.

Yes, I’d like Kirk’s head on a pike, too.

You’ve got that right. Thanks for your previous ping. That reminded me of the Pershing story.

I’d have liked a feeding of the carcass to a pen of pigs or the cast of “The View” (minus E.H. of course). But I repeat myself.


I like the way you think.

>> [Kirk] said the White House owed Americans and the foreign media some proof he was dead. “They should release a photo or two,” said Kirk on Monday at a news conference at O’Hare. “While grisly, it will confirm he’s dead. <<

Kirk said something I agree with? Well I suppose even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time. This the one part of the operation I think they handled poorly, getting rid of the body ASAP after they gave Osama a dirt nap. We've already had months of truthers and birthers, now we're going to end up with a new crop of "deathers" who claim Osama is still breathing and the government faked his execution. That lunatic Cindy Sheehan is already fanning the flames. Should have shown his body to the U.S. public so they'd have more to go on than just Obama and the media's word. It would have been therapeutic for the 9/11 victims to see for themselves that this evil bastard got his just desserts.

>> U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk supported Osama bin Laden’s burial at sea <<

Dang, I knew Kirk would have to throw something in there I don't agree with! There's always a "But..." added into his speech when Kirk says something decent. No way should we have buried him at sea. Now there's NO body, so even with the most accurate photographs you're going to have some tin foil hats say it was photoshopped. And since when was burial at sea typical of Islamic funerals if you're burying him according to "Islamic law"? Muslims follow the same abrahamic rules found in Christianity: they want to be buried in the ground so their bodies can be resurrected physically for the second coming. Islam tradition says they should be buried in a grave, aligned perpendicular to face Mecca. The body is placed in the grave without a casket, lying on its right side. As in Christianity, burial at sea is only done if the Muslim dies aboard a ship on the ocean, and there is a fear of the decay of the body. This was stupid and raises questions about why the government wanted to get rid of the body so quickly. Furthermore, this scumbag deserved NO respect to have a "proper" Muslim burial with being washed, wrapped in a sheet, and given a prayer service. WTH? It's not like they were going to hand him over to one of his 50 siblings so they could have a family funeral service. Osama bin Laden is a evil criminal who commited genocide against thousands, he doesn't deserve a dignified burial anymore than Hitler does.

Expanding on my earlier thoughts...

We're quibbling over the release of photos of a dead man when Daniel Pearl was beheaded on video and seen all over the world through the Internet.

Unbelievable!

I can see it now: the administration releases a photo, with the face “blurred out” to save us from seeing the gruesome wounds. “See? That’s him. Trust us”.

“Well I suppose even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time.”

*That goes for Kenyans, RINOs and Rats.

“It’s not like they were going to hand him over to one of his 50 siblings so they could have a family funeral service.”

*Makes wiping them out that much easier - economy of scale, so to speak.

Ha, I didn’t even think of that, “He’s not dead” conspirators.

He and Elvis will be spotted together at Dairy Queen’s in rural Wisconsin.

He still should have been drawn and quartered.

They should have captured him then give him a sex change operation!
