Yes, I do. That is why, since Post 10, I have been saying that Obama was an idiot to dispose of the body in the ocean instead of displaying it to the news media and anybody else that wanted to see it like the Bolivians did in the case of Che Guevara's body.
One photo or a dozen photos taken by U.S. Government photographers = Plausible to claim a fake.
Thousands of photos taken by dozens of different photographers from countries all over the World = Not plausible at all to claim they are all fakes.
You are arguing against your own points.
You do understand, don’t you, that Bin Laden had become increasingly isolated and didn’t hold much influence over al qaeda anyway?
Yes, that is why I have stated, repeatedly in this thread, that Osama's value was as a SYMBOL to inspire the Arab Street against America.
Again, you are arguing against your own points.
You do understand, don’t you, that the Taliban has done just fine recruiting in Afghanistan without any input from Bin Laden?
Yes, and, unlike you, I know that there are many degrees of success that are higher than "just fine". Osama bin Ladin spurred recruiting ALL OVER THE WORLD AND VERY SUCCESSFULLY.
Now you are arguing that "Osama did not matter, so why bother one way or the other".
You do understand, don’t you, that there are more terrorists who are not affiliated with al qaeda or Bin Laden who seek to destroy Westerners as well as other muslims?
Nooooo???? Reeeeaaaaly????? I never knew that!
By that strange logic, why bother fighting the Mafia when the Bloods & and the Crips produce other criminals?
By that strange logic, why bother fighting Breast Cancer when Colon Cancer also kills people?
By that strange logic, why bother fighting Hitler when Tojo has all of Japan fighting against the U.S.?
Logic does not seem to be your strong suit.
The bottom line is that Barack Obama was an idiot for throwing away the body in the current Age of Photoshop.
Unless al Qaeda proclaims Osama bin Ladin a Martyr, Obama will have allowed al Qaeda to retain a powerful SYMBOL that millions of America's enemies will continue to believe is still alive.
