Pres. Obama has decided NOT to release any photos.

It’s easier to deceive our Senate than the American people.

This is why we will not see the fake photo.

Great example!

Go back 20+ years from that: What about the pictures (and news reels) of the decomposing corpses of Mussolini and his mistress Clara Petacci strung up from a gas station in Milan? Those are damn gruesome.

Hell, they scared Hitler into committing suicide, so they had an effect as well.

>>> For a while - I had as my tagline:

Only Obama could screw up the death of Osama bin Laden. <<<

:-(

How true! Fortunately it was not up to him, Navy SEALs took care of that.

In 2003, al Jazeera published footage and photographs of American servicemen captured and killed in Iraq. Those images are still in the internet. I’m not going to post them. Their faces are identifiable.

It's the same thing that was released way back when...it's the COLB. It's not the Long Form.

That all said....I personally think it's a moot point now. The water is so muddy now...it won't ever clear.

[angelcindy]

These terrorists will kill americans ...photo or not..Obama is just trying to appease his muslim brothers...the harm was already done when he announced Osama was dead.so show the photo!!!!

[AmericanInTokyo]

I suggest a massive chain letter writing campaign by the mothers, fathers, sons, husbands, wives of servicepeople killed in Afghanistan GOING AFTER OSAMA, directly to the President, and copied to the local media, stating that in remembrance of "my son' (or daughter's) sacrifice, I sir would in fact like to see those photos to bring this to closure for me." BHO wants to politicize this thing? It goes both ways, and many, many American families can be turned on him. I say, light a national prairie fire under his ass. From sea to shining sea.

(sarc on)
Admit it..
It’s not because the pics won’t be released, and the Arab world will have no proof that he’s finally dead, it’s because you hate the President because he’s BLACK, right?
(Sarc off)

[GnL]

This is how he keeps the story alive until closer to the election, then he releases the photo to make naysayers look like fools.

[NavyCanDo]

“he’ll most likely have the photo leaked so he won’t be blamed for looking like the responsible party”

I was thinking the same thing.

Lamest POTUS ever.

[HIDEK6]

When we got Queasy and Greasy, we were told that it is Muslim culture to show the bodies of dead potentates to prove that they are dead.

It's a common thing with them. No sensitivity issues.

[EternalVigilance]

This is further proof that Ubama can screw up a free lunch.

Let me be the first to say: The pictures WILL be seen by the world. They’ve been shown to members of Congress, and there isn’t a leakier cesspool in the world.

And if he was dumped from a ship, something will get out. There are no secrets on ships.

[EternalVigilance]

The uprising has already begun.

The emotion behind it is going to shock them.

[greyfoxx39]

Seen on Twitter: “The reason Obama’s not releasing photo is that Sandy Berger already swiped it & shoved it in his pants.”

[eak3]

Please, let’s not have any “we don’t know Osama’s dead because we didn’t see the photo” loonies.

Please, lets not have any "I trust my govt to tell me the truth" loonies.

[Responsibility2nd]

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

But this is just too much?!?

__________________________________________

No, but the picture of Saddam in his underpants WAS too much.

My life was never the same after eye-balling that.
