Re: Osama Bin Laden Dead!
 
How people cannot see through the bullshit is truly staggering, the guy they have been supposedly hunting down for years and they dump him in the sea. Been dead for years but he has now served his purpose; and now of course his death means where all in greater danger due to revenge attacks. You have to give these guys credit they are great script-writers.

Channel 9 showed a photo of his mangled face for some reason. Then, my son noticed on facebook that it is probably a false photo. And yes, they buried him at sea. Why?? Surely the Obama administration should be aware that there will be suspicion about the timing or even the truthfulness of this assasination?? If this was all above board they would have been at pains to prove that this was in fact the body of Bin Laden. Whole thing stinks to me.

The US government has not released any photos at all. The one which is currently floating around the internet is a fake from 2009.

Its a shame that america and allies have killed 900,000 people since the war started to finally track down their man. Sure its good hes gone but the cost is just to high, he only killed 3000 in the september 11 attacks, a small drop in the ocean of dead killed in the war since then

No they haven't. Check www.iraqbodycount.org and you will find that the current death toll is 100,598 – 109,895. This includes all recorded deaths by any means. The overwhelming majority have been caused by terrorist attacks, tribal feuds and militant gangs.
