Obama Not Releasing Photo of bin Laden's Corpse!

[Baasha]

So apparently Obama decided not to release the photo of bin Laden's body to confirm his death with the public.

His reason is that it could incite more violence against America and its interests. That may be true but not releasing it isn't exactly going to make those douchebag terrorists sit down for tea with Americans anyway.

I think this is silly because now we will have a 100 conspiracy theories saying that bin Laden was already dead, or he was never killed, or the US didn't kill him etc. etc.

I think Obama would get more support if he posted the photos and also had a HD feed to that video the DevGru took (helmet cams?) while taking out that lanky bastard!

If he releases the photo, what reason would he be able to give for not showing the video of Osama getting shot while unarmed and his wife being shot in the leg?

And the video especially would serve as propaganda for Al Qaeda and every other Muslim extremist group.

 

[OCGuy]

He is right, the doubters are just going to say it is a photoshop anyway.

If Osama was alive, he could easily release a video holding up a copy of the paper announcing he was killed


I have a feeling they will leak out. I would be filing a FIA suit right away if I had the ability.

 

[Martin]

Maybe he doesn't wanna release it to try and get the Deather conspiracy theory going. Maybe let republicans talk about it for a year, get the retarded quarter (or is it half?) riled up, then release the photos and embarrass them?

 

[bfdd]

If I was Obama, I'd release the photos with a National Shoop that bin Laden contest.

 

[SlickSnake]

And who is surprised they won't be released? A video recording would be more definitive, but not released weeks or months later after they had time to send it to Pixar to be altered and edited.

Tomorrow's Headline: Bin Laden Photo Leaked!

I think they waited a few days before making this decision to see if it was really necessary to release the pics. Looks like they decided it wasn't, and given the possible negative consequences I'm OK with not releasing them.

IMO, you either believe them (and Ussama is dead), you don't or you merely doubt it. In any case I don't see how pics or dna would change anybody's mind. Pics can be photoshopped, Ussama has like a bazillion brothers and sisters so I don't see how dna helps, plus who among us can confirm the dna results?

How could it incite anyone? I though Osama was not representative of Muslims. An aberration, a pariah. Least that's what Obama said.

Yep, right before the election

He's waiting to release them sep '12 or he doesn't want to offend his muslim brothers. Which is it? We shouldn't one bit how this would offend muslims or terrorists. This president disgusts me. It's not like they want to kill Americans as it is.

Notice how when given the choice, he always sides with the muslims/terrorists.

Luckily for Spidey President Obama approved the release of this video, which was taken directly during the SEAL Team Assault against Bin Laden.

Yep because those are the only two conclusions that could possibly exist.

And just in case you weren't sure, you're the example they cited of why releasing it is pointless anyway.

This statement brought to you by the Most Transparent Administration Ever™.

What possible reason would he have for not releasing them then? You want your enemies to FEAR you, you don't bow down to their wishes or sensitivities. Imagine if a president pulled this kind of shit in WWII, vietnam or korea?

Oh, we might insight retribution, we're so scared.

If this offends peaceful muslims then I question just how peaceful they may be. The terrorists already want to kill us so why not show them what meets them if they oppose us?

I say again, pay attention to this president. When given the choice he sides with the muslims/terrorists. This is not the first time.

Yes those are examples of other valid reasons that non-crazy people are aware exist. Thank you for seeing the light.

Are you really that dense???
Is the process of reasoning that you supposedly possess so screwed up that you cannot think straight?
To release the pictures would incite Muslims in that part of the world to possibly kill Americans or take Americans prisoner.......
Plus to publish the picture would also make it so the Muslims who did believe in Osama`s cause would carry out retribution and possibly even erect a monument to the poor Bastard....

The negative aspects of publishing the picture easily outweighs the positive!!

Unless of course you are Spidey07...............

To his faithful Bin Laden is worse than dead right now. There is no body, there is no grave build a memorial to a martyr. Bin Laden is a wisp, a memory, with not a single thing with which to rally around.

So let's give them pictures and inspire them.

Sure don't see anyone who looks like OBL in those pics. The first pic kinda looks like him, but not really. Looks more like a relative of his. Like a son maybe, or a brother, uncle or cousin. There is a resemblance there, but that's not him. And a DNA test done on a close relative might show it was a match, when in fact, it was not him.

Fear? Hate trumps fear every time.

Ummmm the article spells out that it's not him and didnt see any claims they were. Just injecting some apparently much sought after gore and violence direct from Abbottabad.

In the waiting of leaked photos, here one
showing how the US brought democracy in Iraq..
Hope this help the blood thirsty endure the waiting...

I can also see that point.

I think the statements from the two family members left alive will quell a lot of the doubters in the muslim world at least, since they were there when it happened. From what I know the beloved patriot's have debriefed them.

As for the pics, I would not be surprised to see them surface on liveleaks someday in the near future. That way Obama can claim the high road, and the corpsers get their pics.
