Bin Laden is dead

You and half the world. I've been reading comments left at foreign news outlets and most are incredulous that the US would dump the body with no proof.
It makes sense however. They treated the body with respect according to Islam to show that this was not about a war against Islam. Dumping the body at sea prevents followers from setting up a shrine to worship and martyr bin Laden. It eliminates a rallying point so to speak.
That said, if you think the US doesn't have copious amounts of pictures and documentation proving that it was indeed bin Laden, give it a few days. They'll need to provide a picture to stop all of the rumours. Remember Uday Hussein? After 3 days of speculation the US finally released the pics of his carcass.

Why would pictures change anything?
Remember the birthers?
I suspect Donald Trump will now irritate people nonstop for the next few months demanding proof.

Plus it gives the crustaceans something to eat.
I was thinking more like dousing the body with pig's blood so the sharks would take care of it.
I wonder if Bin Laden was the weasel who tried to use the woman as a human shield - - reports are that he did resist...
It's an incredible accomplishment. Aside from feeling happy and relieved that we're rid of Bin Laden, I'm thrilled the operation was executed with little or no collateral damages taking place.

LOL, using a poor woman as a human shield. What a hero.
If I were a Muslim, nothing would bring me closer to their mission of world dominance than this story. Using a woman as a human shield.
Definitely someone I want to follow.
What a loser.
Anyone else find it interesting that Hitler's death was announced on the same day 66 years ago?

Bin laden being buried at sea doesn't make question if the US really got him. it does, however, make me question if he is really dead or being interrogated in some sub somewhere. I think it's entirely possible that he was really taken alive, will be questioned using extreme measures, and then tossed overboard when he is no longer any intelligence value.
Not saying that I believe this is what happened, or if this is even likely. But if someone wants to start a conspiracy theory based on the US not producing the body, this is probably more likely than the whole thing being a hoax.

Yeah that's why I didn't type anything when I posted that link. I'll let them sort things out for a few days. I wouldn't buy their initial war stories though, they never seem to be accurate....no matter if we are talking Pat Tillman or Osama Bin Laden. People are already clamoring for when the book is going to come out.

Some media actually ran this? Troutbum could've made a better fake in paint.

Meet The 'Seal Team 6', The Bad-Asses Who Killed Osama Bin Laden
Robert W. Johnson | May 2, 2011, 7:43 AM | 159,630 | comment 100
The military team that killed Osama Bin Laden is an elite special forces group unofficially called Seal Team 6.
Officially, the team's name is classified and not available to the public, technically there is no team 6. A Tier-One counter-terrorism force similar to the Army's elusive Delta group, Team 6's mission rarely make it to paper much less the newspaper.
It shows how important the publicity about Bin Laden's killing is to the U.S. that this morning, Team 6 is front pages news.
The members of Team 6 are all "black" operatives. They exist outside military protocol, engage in operations that are at the highest level of classification and often outside the boundaries of international law. To maintain plausible deniability in case they are caught, records of black operations are rarely, if ever, kept.
The development of SEAL Team 6 was in direct response to the 1980 attempt to rescue the American hostages held in Iran. The mission was a terrific failure that fell apart at many points and illustrated the need for a dedicated counter-terrorist team capable of operating with the utmost secrecy.
The Team was labeled 6 at the time to confuse Soviet intelligence about the number of SEAL teams in operation at the time. There were only two others.
Team 6 poached the top operatives from other SEAL units and trained them even more intensely from there. Even among proven SEAL's the attrition rate for Team 6 is reported to be nearly half.
There are no names available for current Team 6 members, but the CIA does recruit heavily from their numbers for their Special Operations Group, so it makes sense that they were chosen to work with the CIA on this mission.
Team 6 is normally devoted to missions with maritime authority: ship rescues, oil rigs, naval bases or land bases accessible by water. There are no waterways near Bin Laden's compound.
When a former Navy SEAL was called for a comment about this article all he could say was: "You know I'd love to help you man, but I can't say a word about Team 6. There is no Team 6."
