If you will recall, the official position for any high level kills was that the body would be prominently photographed and the body put on display so that the bad guy’s followers and the common people would be able to see that the bad guy was dead and would never bother them again. Only after this would the body be disposed of.
They did this with Saddam’s sons and torture buddies; they did this with al-Zarkawi, why not Osama?
This is too convenient, and, comes at a time that Obama needs a boost in the polls to deflect the birthers, the economy and the daily sky rocketing oil prices.
Give me a break. Buried at sea? And before the official announcement? This just reeks of HOAX.
Yes, Uday Husssein and Qusay Hussein and al-Zarkawi were on prominent photo-display despite fake “outrage” from the press and Islamic “community”.
This handling may open bigger can of worms than LFBC, unless it’s well documented.

It’s all about jurisdiction over the body. The Iraqi government had jurisdiction over bodies killed in Iraq and did as they chose with them. OBL’s body was technically the jurisdiction of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Dumping the body before notification of the death removes all diplomatic obligations to those nations.
It’s that old diplomatic phrase: diplomacy first; when all else fails use force. It’s what makes diplomacy legitimate.

You’re right, but gas prices are still climbing, the economy is still being sabotaged and the federal government is still being managed by the three stooges. This will hardly count next November.
