I don't even have words.
My love and prayers for all those who have suffered, both dead and alive.

Part of me feels it's good that the government and military took the high road related to his corpse, if in fact they did, and if, in fact, that Muslim tradition requires the dead to be buried within 24 hours.
I'm doing my best to remember that Middle Eastern people suffered and died under his hand just as we did. If it is meaningful for them to show the body mercy because it brings them peace, then so be it, I suppose. Personally I'm in the "Osama's head on a stake planted in front of the Washington Monument" camp.
"Vengeance is mine, I will repay" sayeth the Lord. Romans 12:19
Ultimately, I know I should trust that my Father will take care. I'm guessing He won't need my help with this one. :tu

Scott,
Only one problem.
Just imagine as he bobs left, then right, then left more than the first time, then back a bit again.
As he does this, he will likely be sounding something like this:
"Ahh.....I see Mecca. Wait, crap, where's Mecca? Ahh, there's Mecca again. Crap, Mecca has been gone for a while again."
And so on.
They have to be buried facing Mecca.

One man's "buried at sea" is another man's "fed to the sharks".

I sure hope the sharks don't choke.

Fantastic NEWS!

There was no honor for Bin Laden in death. He chose to run and hide for years, the Coward. There is no glory for him, only shame.

I am betting they buried something at sea, likey the bag full of piles of turds that were crapped
on the corpse. You can bet they have that body on ice somewhere.

Here's hoping that "Buried at Sea" means they took what pictures they needed before tossing him out of the door of their Blackhawk on the way back to the ship.

In one of the many stories I read it was mentioned that "burial at sea" is not approved of by Islam.

News Here reporting..


"Ahmed Quraishi, Senior Research Fellow at a Pakistani think-tank, says Osama's death has provided the U.S. with a way to save face and withdraw from Afghanistan."

Re: Breaking News! Bin Laden reported dead
 
Sorry Ahmed....now we go to work on finding out just why he slept there night after night near a major city
and you still claimed not to know where he was. This is going to make it very difficult for the Pakis to get
things done. I have a feeling we are going to breathing down their necks for some time to come. It's cool, tho,
they love it. If any one has to scramble to save face, it will be the pakis. But at least they have many faces
to choose from. pakistani Think Tank.....Jumbo shrimp......Military Intelligence

I'd love to see the pictures of the SEALS with the body after the kill.

It seems like they made a quick exit after blowing up the downed helicopter, but my curiosity has me wondering if they grabbed a souvenier on the way out.

After the shot directly to a Somali pirate's head from a mile away on a bobbing sea, I thought my respect was at an all time high for the SEALS, but this just raised it another notch.:gn

This isn't a knock on the SEALs in any way, but if you are referring to the incident with Captain Phillips being held hostage, those shots were actually taken at a distance of about 30 yards - still an exceptionally difficult shot in rolling seas.

So what's new? muslim terrorists have yet another excuse to murder innocent people?
If we don't kill him, he sits around for years ordering new attacks. If we do kill him, his followers want revenge and order new attacks. If we take him prisoner, other muslim terrorists use that as an excuse to kill innocent people.

It sounds like a no win scenario, but it's not. They know we got him, they also know that his own people gave us the info that led to him. They also know that we will go anywhere, anytime to get them and there is no 'Put your hands up, you're under arrest' mentality when it comes to people like themselves.

If anything, they are scared. They will look at each other now and wonder if anyone can be trusted.

I appreciate what your saying and i think you have misread or misunderstood my post as i wasnt condemning the swoop which resulted in his death. it was spot on
There will be a new offensive against america, no doubt about that, the actions today just help start a new generation of terrorists.

I dont think osama was in command anymore, a ageing man in a bunker with no comms who relied on a paperboy who probably gave him up in the end.
Al-Qaeda is an idea, not a structured organisation so in operational terms I doubt his death will have much of an effect

Sorry to cut the quote down so far, but I agree with a lot of this. Obviously it's a damned if you do sitcho,
but they would be smart to shut up and sit down. Putting their stupid heads up now is just gonna get em
a ringside seat to the next burial at sea. One can only hope.

As for Irish' prediction of a new generation of terrorists, I am not so sure. Sure, there is always that chance,
but I think the youth would be wise to get on this new "Let's take our country back" bandwagon that seems to be
spreading through the region like Arab-AIDS. This might be the perfect thing at the perfect time, and I am not so
sure that this is not taking place at a time and place of the administration in Washinton's choosing, within operational
reason.

I personally would not like to see the SEALS who did it have their pictures and faces all over. It would be a threat to them and their families.

Let's just say they'll go to sleep at night with a clean conscience knowing they did the right thing and that we are forever in debt to them.:2

I'm sure they'll receive their accolades behind closed doors amongst themselves.

Last night I was at a theater watching Fast Five (dont judge me!) and someone texted me the news. I almost stood up and shouted out the news to everyone.

In regard to Team 6 that conducted the raid, I hope the don't show their faces either because that will end their career.

Also, I don't believe that he was totally buried at sea. Even the KGB kept Hilter's skull ;)
