Why not let 5 or so independent journalists actually see the body and we could put the whole thing to rest? Because it's a fucking lie and if the WH does release images, it'll be shop'd.
And they burned the body out of respect for Islam? What a joke. How is stationing soldiers on the Arabian peninsula, their holy land and main grievance for 9/11, respecting Islam? Or having drone attacks on weddings and mosques? The U.S. gov doesn't give a fuck about Islam. You'd think messing up the burial rites is a little bit minor compared to murdering their families and friends.

They didn't burn the body. They dumped it in the sea to prevent a "Marty shrine" being established on land (And probably as an insult to any of his supporters)
Because the only good terrorist is one who makes good shark food, amirite?

Um they did... The press has to follow security rules also, other who have seen the prove your talking about include the senior member of the senate and house.
The problem is will it cause a backlash that can be prevented somehow... Like that idiot in Flordia that burned a book then a bunch of sand niggers killed a dozen Red Cross workers

Because the value of gold hasn't gone up 2000% over the last 10 years mirite? Guess that's a terrible investment, we should invest in worthless scam hedge funds and in houses which could be seized by government?

They saw the body? Have a source on that? That conflicts with this:
>All we know is what various senior officials said happened, not what actually happened. This is why it would be helpful for the administration to release documentation—images, video, audio, whatever—that can verify the official account of the raid. But so far, they're not even saying exactly how Obama and other White House officials tracked the operation's progress, only that they followed along in real time

The blog links to many external sources. Give me a good reason to believe the crap coming out of the mainstream press.

Hey did you guys know that studies show that when conspiracy theorist is prevented with evidence proving him wrong he doesn't abandon the illusion but rather digs in deeper and is somehow convinced of their beliefs to a greater degree?
This is because they have no interest in the truth, they have interest in being right. They will argue their point for years hoping someone will believe them.

Yeah I've noticed this on /new/. And they'll claim everyone who disagrees with them is brainwashed by the media, but most of their theories (such as Osama having kidney failure) are based on generally vague and speculative media reports.
I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just being skeptical.
Here's some facts:
1. They refuse to give any proof beyond their word. (Remember when Saddam was captured, they paraded him around? Why the disparity?)
2. The videos they have shown as proof of Osama's guilt are sketchy.
3. They mysteriously throw his body in the ocean based on respecting Islam when every ounce of the Gov's foreign policy has been the goal of ravaging the Islamic world with war and bombs.
4. Reports like >>12 and others claim he was in poor health.
5. It takes 10 years and 3 trillion dollars to find one guy?
1. I'll trust the seals, and the various senators, military and others(granted personal connections help) that have seen the photos.
2. Sketchy? 30 year old 3rd world VHS arent exact the newest high end blue-ray recorders. Also the 9/11 conspiracies have been debunked over and over and over...
3. I have to say, it was a bit odd. But I understand the reason for not wanting make it so people can worship him. Saddem went mad with power, OBL was just a mass murderer(and a spoiled one at that)
4. Apparently he wasnt in that poor health and he had enough contacts in pakistan to secure healthcare(even terrorist can get it, but not americans)
5. Well not 3 trillion, and it didn't help that Bush stopped caring 6 months after 9/11 to go invade iraq
Your not crazy but you do lack the information to make a proper conclusion...

Don't mind liberals, they have no concept of history. They think government acts "openly" or that PR is based on truth.

“Obviously, we’re going into the sovereign territory of another country and landing helicopters and conducting a military operation. And so if it turns out that it’s a wealthy, you know, prince from Dubai who’s in this compound, and, you know, we’ve spent Special Forces in — we’ve got problems,” Obama told 60 Minutes host Steve Kroft.
“At the end of the day, this was still a 55/45 situation. I mean, we could not say definitively that bin Laden was there. Had he not been there, then there would have been significant consequences,” the president added.
If bin laden were alive he would have made a video of himself watching obama claim he is dead on the news by now.

no he wouldn't, because he didn't make any of the videos that are already out there.

I think it's my duty to not believe everything the government says, but considering how they managed to fuck this operation up, crash a helicopter, shoot everyone when the only weapon they had was a sidearm and piss off the Pakistanis who should be our allies I think we can conclude that the highest offices of state were involved and Osama probably is dead.

I dont understand this country anymore. invading a muslim country for no reason was ok. filling the internet with videos of our helecopters accidentaly shooting civilians was ok. getting a hundred thousand people killed was ok. The torture, the renditions to egypt, the 30,000 detained most of whom were probly innocent. thats all ok but one dead nigger in abottabad is supposed to send the arab world into a tizzy?
The truth is, the military arm of this country no longer needs to even put up even the slightest facade in making their stories believable or consistent. Calling someone a "conspiracy theorist" is all it takes to discredit someone. Fuck everything about this.
