You know, I was just considering Photoshopping my own pic of Osama, with the caption” “Why they REALLY won’t release the photos” - the pic would have Binny’s body, sporting womens’ panties on it’s head, being summarily dumped into the ocean.

I hated it when the muzzie terrorists paraded the dead bodies of our servicemen around in Somalia or when the iraqi terrorists burned the contractors and left their bodies hanging on that bridge.

There is no comparison whatsoever between Osama bin Laden and our servicemen, nor between Osama bin Laden and those contractors.

This one’s going to be much much worse. The One is riding a wave of positive public sentiment over the death of OBL.

For about another twenty minutes after this announcement, and the clock is ticking.

Then, if the polls begin to show there’s blowback, BAM! release the proof

You really think re-releasing the COLB...was proof?

” “Imagine how the American people would react if Al Qaeda killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the internet,” Rogers continued.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I can imagine how I would react because they’ve already done it!

Post the damn pictures. Advertise them every day. Demoralize the enemy. Let them know and understand that if we can get their golden boy, we can get any one of those *(@#%’s.

But I’m just a dumb girl, what do I know about war.”

First off, I’m a girl, too, but there is far more strength and toughness in my pinkie finger than Obama has ever been able to harness in his life. He is weaker than a wet noodle. We girls are NOT weak.

About the photos —

Release the photo, print it into a poster to send across the world with these words: “This is what our military will do to the enemies of the United States.”

And for me, I have NO problem with treating Osama like a trophy. I do not care how Muslims feel about it, I don’t care how liberals feel about it, and I sure as hell don’t feel any shame in saying I am GLAD HE’S DEAD.

Incredible. No matter what the situation is, you can always count on Obama and Co. to make the wrong decision every single time.

“The One will drag this out as long as possible”

I think you nailed it. Barry will drag this out to keep the focus off the economy. Also this attack fits in with the tea partiers/republicans are kooks and untrustworthy meme they have been working on for a long time.

this white house has always appeased islam and muslims, when I got told that he ordered that Bin laden be given a respectful islamic ceremony and do it to islamic traditions I thought the guy was joking around and this went on for about an hour . I had to check it out for myself and I nearly threw the computer into the wall, it was B/S infact the more I think about it the more pissed off I get so I'm off. One thing is for sure I will not be watching this clown stand at GZ for the very FIRST TIME, using the selected families used as a back drop for his campaign platform and speech FIRST TIME TO GZ sickening and all the times he went there to NY city for money but never felt the need to go there before, well except when his fat arse hypocritical wife and friends from Chicago flew over NY City when first in power

MSNBC CORRECTING... but Obama still said Osama not a trophy.

______________________________________________________________

*** UPDATE *** Here is what President Obama told Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes” about his decision. The interview will air on Sunday.

“The risks of release outweigh the benefits,” he said. “Conspiracy theorists around the world will just claim the photos are doctored anyway, and there is a real risk that releasing the photos will only serve to inflame public opinion in the Middle East.”

“Imagine how the American people would react if Al Qaida killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the internet,” he continued. “Osama bin Laden is not a trophy - he is dead and let’s now focus on continuing the fight until Al Qaida has been eliminated.”

*** CORRECTION *** Those quotes above are from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, not President Obama. (It’s unclear why CBS decided not to release quotes from the president in its story about the news.)

Here is what Obama told “60 Minutes,” per White House Press Secretary Jay Carney: “We’ve done DNA sampling and testing. There is no doubt we killed Osama bin Laden.” Obama went on to say that releasing the photos could incite violence and run contray to America’s values. “We don’t trot out this stuff as trophies... We don’t need to spike the football.”

“The Middle East loons will have a field day:”

By next week, the Middle-East news mags will have pics of Osama driving a cab in New York City.

This is NOT a smart move by our “Incredibly smart (Just ask him, he’ll tell ya) Dear Reader...

The Obama administration feels they shouldn’t put out any Bin Laden pictures because it will offend Muslims and put our troops at risk. Sure don’t recall them feeling that way about the Abu Ghraib photos.

So we can see photos of Mussolini hanging upside down, and Saddam being hanged.

But this is just too much?!?

Right after Obama’s Jan 2009 coronation, he invited DC insiders / punditry (both left and right) to WH for a cozy chit-chat, to which Dr Kraut was one of the party. I remember Dr. K saying Obama was very charming, and charismatic.

Ever since Krauthammer’s criticism of O rarely had the usual bite.
