Personally, I believe they did kill OBL but do not want to release the photos because it will upset the muslims ... and you KNOW we cannot do that.

I think he is dead also. For me, it was the almost immediate threat of reprisals from terrorists. If one thinks,"reprisals" for what, the answer is obvious. Reprisal is a word that entails revenge.

As for the other issues, Zero is consistent. The Seals did their jobs with great courage, and Zero is botching the aftermath, something he is quite good at.

It may not be a proper strawman, but maybe his cousin. It doesn't appear too far removed from Obama's usual "there are those who say x" strawmen statements that he always pitches in his speeches. We have not yet seen a photograph and had a preponderance of people refute its veracity - so while maybe not a true "strawman" at the very least your statement is highly speculative.

I personally don't believe that OBL survived Tora Bora as all we've seen of him since then were some scratchy copy-of-copies audio cassettes. A good pic of him with an extra eye-hole might convince me otherwise, or at least some post 2003 pics of him wandering his compound - surely they gathered some kind of photographic intel before popping in and shooting up his "mansion".

Amazing isn't it (NOT) that there is always at least ONE, Republi-tard, willing to give the Demo-Rats and Dear Leader cover on whatever they/he do/does?

A-Holes like Rogers, disgust me!

Oh, and the Wuss, Weeper of the House, stated he didn't need to see the photos.

Sheeeesh, still looking for ONE (male) R who has a pair!

The killing of bin Laden happened on his watch. Years of intelligence went into bin Laden's discovery. Personally, my opinion has not changed; if anything, it has decreased.

Imagine if Zero knew and did nothing. Clinton got away with it, I don't think Zero doesn't have the raw manipulative skills Clinton had.

Zero is an opportunist who stopped, for a moment, his world apology tour for cynical, self-serving reasons.

It is. Get back to me if and when the photos are released and we'll see if folks accept them, or write them off as fakes.

” CBS News national security correspondent David Martin has been told the photographs are “very gruesome”
and won’t be for the “squeamish.”

“I’ve had it described to me and it does sound very gruesome,” he said. “

Geez. Toughen up.
It’s a photograph.
