White House Will Not Release Osama bin Laden Photo: Is This a Smart Move?

Every decision made by this administration is based on perceived political gain.

And you need to take a laxative if you belive that.

I agree with keegan there. Last year we had to hear all about squirting a little water up a terrorists nose to make him think he's drowing, horrible that was and how the US is better than that...blah, blah, blah and hear "it's torture". Visit, ABC.com and read about unarmed Bin Laden being killed in front of his wife and kids. Nobody cares about about Bin Laden. He got what he deserved. We just tortured his kids (mentally). He didn't just man-up overnight and authorize a bullet in an unarmed man's head. That's not Obama's style. Something is wrong here.

Everybody is all up in arms because Osama was unarmed will you guy's ever let up?

I'm not up in arms about it. I said being "gangsta" isn't Obama's style. I don't believe you can go from "waterboarding a terrorist is bad" and then coordinate an assassination. Nobody flips the script in a year. If I hate you as much as everybody hated Bin Laden, torture is exactly what I would do. Not toss you in the ocean because the bad guys have a tradition. Hell, they were hiding him from your a$$. That is really dumb.

why would they hide him from my AZZ?

aw lawd......

Why would Obama do what the Pakistani's asked (as far as getting rid of the body in 24 hours due to their religion) if they were the one's hiding Bin Laden in the first place?

LOL...Did you ask him?

It would be quite impressive if I could. Don't you think?

Obama should show them because he works for the American people and most of the American people want to see them. Obama works for American people not muslims, terrorists, or muslim terrorists. they want to see them and so do I.

Well I thinkn he has his reasons for not showing those horrible pictures and I for one doesn't want to see them.

because first off, he is muslim, and it is against their "religious" beliefs, second its like them building the mosque on ground zero...it's flaunting a war trophy, and thirdly, it will increas the jihad terrorist hatred towards us, and I guarantee, with obama allowing the muslim brotherhood (the ones that have started and/or finance most terrorist groups in the world) to be in America, we will open a very big case of whoop ass against the US, and with over 30 US grown terrorist training camps in the US that obama and holder refuse to take care...we will hurt bad

Obama isn't a muslim. I don't like the guy, but he is not muslim.

If he's such a muslim, why isn't his wife and girls covered up?

okay, war trophy, terrorist, killed our people, hid him for years. I mean who gives a monkey's backside? We shot him in the head (unarmed) in front of his family. We hunted him down and then took DNA. When we cheered on live television that he was dead we looked like them. We were able and willing to watch Saddam hang. My goodness they're giving us a blow by blow already. It should not be that big of a freakin' deal. I don't personally care to see them. But, we have a bunch of chanters cheering his death. Feed 'em and lets move on.

Obama made a great point, that conspiracy theorists will say it's doctored anyway..and that it would be used in anti american propaganda/inciting terrorism

I don't beleive it's UBL,they are covering something up !!!

Specially if Osama was already dead a long time ago...

Regarding your picture Obama is responsible for Osama swimming with the fishes!

Is he? Why is he afraid to sho the pictures is the question. Focus.

I feel like President Obama is trying to hide the fact that Osama Bin Laden isn't really dead. If he wanted to prove to everyone that he's dead, Obama would release the photos, whether he wanted to or not, whether he liked it or not, and all the rumors would be put to rest - just like the whole "birther" thing.

Bin Laden has to be dead. If he wasn't he would of sent out a video or something. It is bad that they are not showing the public the pictures, but at the same time the pictures are probably gruesome and not fit for everyone in the world to see. Would you want 5 year olds seeing a bloody body with a bullet hole in bin ladens head.

He can release those pictures all day and you would say they are false, so what difference does it make?

I'm sorry, I don't trust the government that much. And no, it's not just Obama I don't trust... I don't trust ANYONE in the government.

The last real presedent,watch the stock market,Isreal and Chicago !!!!

Israel and Chicago?

Yes, it's a smart move.

It would do nothing but enrage the Muslim world, and it would do little to convince die-hard doubters of Osama Bin Laden's death. Much like the long-form birth-certificate, people will bitch to no end that they NEED to see evidence of Bin Laden's death, but if presented with proof will find excuses to disregard said evidence.

And the mere killing of Usama didn't enrage them?

God forbid the sheet-heads should be enraged when they come to cut our throats!

I'm sure terrorists are currently enraged -- what's new there? -- but no need to enrage the entire Muslim populace by parading around photos of a dead Muslim man.

I think that hearing the testimony of the Navy SEALS would do a lot more good than showing photos of Osama with a bullet wound through his skull. Maybe that's just me.

You mean that forged birth certificate that the Chicago street thug released last week is a GOOD forgery? Coulda fooled me.

That's exactly what I was talking about. People like you will bitch about Obama no matter what... so why should he bother trying to please you?

Showing you his birth certificate did nothing to remove sand from your vagina. Showing you pictures of Osama dead won't do much either.

I don't think the majority need to see the photos for proof. They just need for the saga to be complete. This is the trophy of defeat for some. I personally don't want to cheer or see photos. But, I know too many that need it for a total picture.

The birth certificate thingy. Well, he just should have stuck with his guns and not produced anything. I do graphics and I think a good old fashion .jpg would have shut everyone up.

Now, sand and vaginas?

Haha... sandy vaginas. XD That's only directed at the person above us.

I celebrated. Not too proud that I won't admit that. I don't need to see photos and even if *some* people think Obama and his administration would lie about this, I don't think that a team of Navy SEALS would. That, in my mind, is the best solution: don't release photos, but do allow the involved Navy SEALS to discuss what happened in their own words.

LOL I knew if was for the earlier comment. I just don't think I could come up with such creativity!

I doubt that the Navy Seals will ever be allowed to discuss this. I don't know if anyone is lying about the accounts. I find a lot about what happened a bit strange. I mean we orchestrated an assasination in a country that hid the very man that cost us trillions over the past 10 years to find. The last thing I would really care about are their feelings or customs. They could have brought him here within 24 hours and buried him under a rock well beneath the twin towers. I mean Obama wanted Bush in jail for waterboarding. We shot the bastard in the head in front of his kids. Where is all of the sensitivity coming from?

you know what a 5.56x 45 at close range can do to a persons head !!!! don't drink this bull crap !!!!

You have proven yourself to be a typically offensive LWNJ and now you can join your friends in the pool. Step this way:

So true, I guess they will like us now. Whew that was close. I thought for a minute there they might get mad at us.
