With all the birther and socialist conspiracy theories surrounding this administration, was it wise to not produce a body? The distrust of the government in general is enough to warrant suspicion. The baby boomer generation grew up with Viet Nam and Johnson's lies and then there was tricky Dick Nixon with the Watergate. Let's not neglect the Regan Iran Contra affair to further the distrust. The ground has been well set for another round of conspiracy theories to counter this latest CIA affair. What happened to the transparency we were promised?

  There was nothiing to sell Obama hated Bush If Bin Laden was dead all this time He would have said so earlier to make Bush and the Repubs look bad. Not to mention I have a relative in Military Intellegence stationed In Germany that was involved in the real time gathering of intel. He has not and cannot tell me details except they got him. Why would he tell me? Because I was a NY firefighter and wanted Bin Laden Dead!!!!

  I didn't like this. I think it could lead to problems. Obviously it will feed conspiracy theorist. It may also inflame some Muslims who will see this as "dumping" the body. I don't understand why he wasn't returned to Saudi Arabia. I believe that was is Country of Origin. Its the norm for KIA's. I know that may not exactly apply here. In that case his body should have been returned to his family.

  I think it was a big blunder not to produce the body. It was all done very quickly and it's all too neat and tidy for me. We don't know who or what was tossed into the sea and we will never know for sure. This wouldn't be the first time a death was faked and just because there is a photograph or a video means nothing. We have photographs and videos of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster too. I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but seriously... talk is cheap, show me the body.

  And the ground is now well set for the pathetic likes of Lawrence O'Donnell to badger and berate and denigrate Condaleeza Rice and others. She has handled him like the champ she is, he is a pathetic liberal tool of MSNBC - a creep deluxe with every creeping day he is allowed to host his own show. This RaRa over Bin Laden's death seems to have emboldened two-bit and more mouth pieces for the liberal party. The fact is, if Bush had murdered him, in front of small children no less, and murdered many others in the effort-- Murderers! He had no trial! etc... would be screamed from the laptops, liberals would already have charges of murder pending, and you can take that to the bank.
  
  O'Donnell is a shriveled pinky toe compared to Condaleeza Rice's intellect and grace and strong character, he cannot use her as he wishes this night.
  
  UPDATE: 9:11PM The Ed Show on MSNBC is just as trite and sick and disgustingly liberal in his efforts to denigrate George Bush as any other -- in the very misguided effort to pump up Obama. Pathetic, and clearly shows enormous desperation on the part of the liberal sect of the Democratic Party.
  
  With the brain cells of the liberal media activated and fed what to say and do this evening -- we have a VERY sad day this evening for the United States of America. And HELLO, Obama didn't try to share any credit or take any high road, it was quite clear to all it was all about him and his re-election. His Ground Zero visit was just part of that whole scripted scenario.
  
  Can you believe the Florida creepo, Alan Grayson, is actually a highlighted guest for The Ed, or is it Mr. Ed? I know my horses are quite smarter than 'The Ed'. If you have to parlay Alan Grayson, a known sicko idiot -- games up and over.

  Don't think so. The liberals' issue, for the most part, was Iraq. Iraq was a fool's errand and remains a fool's errand. I haven't heard much "ra ra" out of the liberal camp over Bin Laden's death.
  Funny you cite how if this had happened under a Republican's watch, the liberals would be screaming murder - particularly because that is exactly what many of the Right and the Tea Party are doing now.
  Let's be serious - no one cares whether the guy was armed, shaving, or taking a crap when he was killed. He's dead -
  Rice got rattled because she was pinned down on a question that still remains very valid: Why did the Bush Administration apparently abandon Bin Laden and Al Quaeda and go after Iraq? In for a penny in for a pound.

  Condolezza got no more than she deserved. She tried to justify the unnecessary, ridiculous, costly invasion of Iraq by citing events that occurred before the war over Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. The Cheney gang fudged the intelligence by going around the CIA and Condolezza Rice. Moreover, even if Iraq had had WMD they weren't a threat to the US because there was no delivery capability and because Saddam Hussein wasn't crazy enough to launch WMD at the US. He surely knew that would be suicidal. He miscalulated how dumb Bush was and how malevolent and determined Cheney and the Neocons were to attack Iraq whaterver the truth was about WMD. Some of their claims were lucicrous, e.g., mobile germ warfare labs. Others were just outright lies. A prudent course would have been to exercise patience and allow the UN inspections and economic sanctions to run their course. The most outrageous lie was Cheney's repeated efforts to connect Iraq with the 9-11 bombing in NYC.

  The facts of Iraq and Saddam and 911 and WMD's are really not part of the issue of Osama Bin Laden in this day and time. I am quite aware that today there are lots of questions about the actions taken in Iraq subsequent to 911. That said, I am not so blessed with 20/20 hindsight, or personal knowledge, to know that a Democratic president would have acted any differently on the information at hand and the circumstances presented.
  
  It is really not pertinent to a discussion of the fate of Osama bin Laden.

  I think it was a smart move to have him buried at sea. If they didn't do that - you'd have a shrine popping up some place in Pakistan. As it is, the house where he was killed seems to have become some sort of tourist attraction. I guess the Pakistanis would blow up that house to prevent it from becoming a shrine for the Osama followers.
  
  I don't think any doubts persist about him having been killed. There were reports today about Al-Qaeda acknowledging his death, so it was a smart move indeed!

  I'm not sure if any country would have openly accepted his body, so his family would have had to gone out to sea to receive it if they had wanted it, and every indication was they didn't (with the possible exception being his wife and any children who were living in the compound with them, who may or may not at this point be considered "enemy combatants").
  
  I'm not sure if the United States would have been open to any scenario that didn't include Osama's corpse ending up at the bottom of the ocean in an undisclosed location, because they don't want any sort of memorial shrine to be built around his body.

  In a perfect scenario of trust I would agree with you but I have a hard time just accepting statements as fact from any government representative and especially something so important such as this. Remember the Pat Tillman mess and how the government held on to the very end that it was not friendly fire that killed him.
  If we are to have an air of trust for the administration there should be an effort on their part to present something that is above reproach and not left to any skepticism. Backing the story up with officials and such is just more of the same and does not remove the cloud that seems to continue.

  I feel exactly the same way. I don't completely believe ANY WH version of ANY story, Democrat or Republican. Obama is in a tight spot regarding the GWOT. Much of his campaign rhetoric was against it. Today his ideology regarding the GWOT has to be tempered by the cold hard facts. Facts that the general public will NEVER know. I would love to have seen his face during his initial DHS/CIA/FBI brief. It had to be a look of shear horror. Can you imagine? He probably knew more about the issue than you or I going into that briefing. However he probably realized that he didn't even come close to having a complete or clear picture. What's worse is that briefing was followed with: "So, Mr. President, how would you like me to proceed." I don't envy his position. I also don't appreciate attempts to politicise National Security Issues. Again, both have done it.
  
  My even bigger concern is our priorities. We keep getting wrapped around the axel regarding the details of this or that while congress continues to run amuck. So here we are discussing the details and possibilities of something that actually has no impact on our daily lives. In this scenario we are ignoring the fact that Pakistan is getting 3 billion a year to lie to us. We are paying Pakistan 3 billion a year so we can fly drones over their soil, killing people. It's nuts......

It's amusing how desperately wingnuts are searching for a cloud - any cloud- to obscure this silver lining. But I will pretend the OP was serious.

OBL identified the conflict - the war - he started. He was a legitimate target while alive wherever he was. We had a 'claim' on his life. Once dead, we had very little claim on the corpse. But the corpse had potential value to our enemies as a focal point, and a shrine.

If we had only a weak claim to keeping the corpse as a war trophy, and a political liability if we released it, it made good sense to put he body out of reach of everybody. Smart move.

  If the parties wish to act autonomously then the results will be less than appealing to the electorate.

"We warn the Americans not to harm the corpse of the sheikh or expose it to any indecent treatment or to harm any members of his family, living or dead, and to deliver the corpses to their families," it said."

I don't have a problem with burial at sea; we certainly don't want the body on American soil and I doubt that any other country does either.

I wonder, though, about the Muslim funeral. Would we have been better off by simply rolling the body off the edge of the ship rather than trying to follow muslim rites? Followed by a public statement that Osama was not a muslim (muslims don't go around killing little girls and innocent people as part of their faith). He did not deserve any religious observances at his death and received none.

Al Quaeda would not have been any madder than they already are and I really wonder if the rest of the Muslim world would not have applauded the action.

It is good when America recognizes other religions than Christianity (it is part of what makes us Americans) but to call the murderous actions of that mad dog "religious" is simply stupid on our part. It does nothing but formalize terrorism as a valid and respected religion.

In my opinion, they should have brought his body here without telling anyone, then suddenly ''THIS IS A <insert TV news> SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT''...followed immediately by a picture of of bin Laden and comparison photos. Then disposed of his body right afterwards.
That would have at least gave a bit of credibility to this whole mess.
I believe it is all fake and he died several years ago. There are plenty of high-ranking officials that have said for years they knew he was dead, but you can't continue the US War of Terror on the world without the Boogeyman. Now that he is gone, I suspect another false flag attack like 9/11 or someone else to make a video threatenin Americuh.

  Personally I would have liked to see him wrapped in bacon and nailed upside down to a cross planted in Times Square where the rats would nightly feed ob his rotting corpse and have a 24 video feed transmitted to the islamic extremists website so they could watch in real time his transformation into a pile of bleached white bones... ah but I can only dream.

  Freedom comes at a price. Someday they may come to realize the sacrifice was worth it... or maybe they'll always allow themselves to be dominated by ruthless corrupt warlords... but at least we gave them a chance to be free.

  No, they used Bin-Laden as the fall guy. Much like Sirhan Sirhan, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Mark David Chapman.

  That is so very sad, and you think what you think is funny?, even sadder, it can almost make an American shake their head in hopelessness, and wish to move....but darn, America is still the land of the free, and lots more wingnuts are spouting off in other countries than in the USA, so still the best place to live in the whole of the world!

  So are you saying that
  a) Buschco had no involvement or prior knowledge of the "Pearl Harborlike" event that was 9/11?
  b) Osama bin Laden and al Quaeda had no involvement with 9/11?
  and/or
  c) That Bushco did have involvement but did not plan 9/11 with OBL
  and/or
  d) That OBL pulled the trigger on 9/11 but not in complicity with Bushco
  and/or
  e)None of the above
  and/or

  I am serious. I honestly do not know what you believe about 9/11.
  I find it very interesting that some people will believe some conspiracy theories and other people will believe some conspiracy theories but not the same ones.
  So who perpetrated 9/11?

Doesn't really matter to me , listen , we no longer live in ,and never will again , the kind of world where we can ignore the other nations and their leaders who are a huge threat to the rest of the world ,and or , they're own people ! Anyone who believes we can decide to just turn our heads the other way is nuts. I would love it if surgical strikes and missles could do all of the worlds police work, but it can't be done by machines. As to those of you who "choose" to be pacifists or refuse to hold the rest of the world as accountable as you do this nation : All I can say is you are fortunate to still breath with your heads buried so deeply in the sand, And don't give me this Free speech crap , someone else won that right for you , certainly you can admit that. Pacifists are the among the first refuges to abandon a nation without fighting and run towards the light of freedom elsewhere , I would ask where you stand for your country but I'm sure you stand near the border ready to flee to another protector , when America comes under fire ,by terrorism or worse ,again.

Ok people , here's the honest to gods truth, Bin Ladin is actually George Bush seniors first son by another woman, He was threatening in private circles to out Big George to us all so ! , Barbara went to Little George and and said to him , "listen W , If all this comes out everyones going to find out that you and Condi Rice are actauly brother and sister. So in order to keep peace in the oil fields , You must kill OBL......if the bottom drops out of the crude oil price we are done for" So there's the proof W and OBL are brothers and Condi is thier sister. :-}

My guess is that our government didn't want him dug up by his "homies", I can imagine how THAT might spark more problems with terrorist attacks.

"Bin Laden's Burial at sea, a huge blunder?"

Personally, I would have tossed him someplace where vultures are known to hangout.

  I certainly wouldn't have planned ahead for a traditional burial service, Osama damn sure didn't for the Americans who died on 911 and afterwards, I found that disturbing, the clear pre-planning for an Osama Muslim burial rite. So, yeah, if you go to the effort to shoot him down unarmed, why not take a pic and leave him for the vultures? Would make more sense to me.

I'm sure the US Navy dumped his body in shark infested waters. I like Jon Stewart's idea of encasing his body in carbonite (like Darth Vader did to Han Solo in the Empire Strikes Back) and hang him in the West Wing of the White House. Lol
