WASHINGTON – A U.S. official says Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea.

After bin Laden was killed in a raid by U.S. forces in Pakistan, senior administration officials said the body would be handled according to Islamic practice and tradition. That practice calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours, the official said. Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said. So the U.S. decided to bury him at sea.

The official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters, did not immediately say where that occurred.

Really? Why not bathe him in pigs blood and tie him to a gay dude who died of aids...

Why do we have to be sensitive to anyone? Like it will matter?

He got his martyr death. We will have to deal with it.

That s not true..
I m not a specialist on the matters but seems to me that
islam require being buried in a ground grave with no other
clothes than a white veil as a body bag...

Somewhat strange to conceal what is in judicial terms
a material evidence...
One can suppose that given his old links with the CIA,
capturing him would have been embarassing..

They got the pictures, they got whatever other evidence they wanted, and fed him to sharks.

What did you expect, a state funeral. He was a wanted war criminal. Not some suspect you read Miranda rights to.

Meh they should have burned him. It's not like he was a true Muslim right? We don't need an OBL zombie coming back from the deep.

Who the hell knows what they really did with the body. If they said they burned it the whole Muslim world might be offended. According to his religion he was supposed to be buried in the ground. Saying they fed him to the sharks is a good compromise.

I like how after shooting him in the face is perfectly respectful of Islam, but we don't DARE violate him once he dies. LOL.

I just don't get this. We have been trying to get the guy for 10 yrs and all of a sudden Obama says we got him, we're just supposed to take his word for it?

If I told you guys last week I climbed Mount Everest, would you just take my word for it? Or would you ask to see the pics?

Maybe, just maybe, most of the world is bright enough to realize the administration has probably figured out that if they just claimed he was dead it wouldn't take long for bin Laden to show up in a video, holding todays paper proclaiming his death, and laughing his ass off.

Unfortunately, the scores of people now questioning the validity of this are bat shit insane so rational thought probably isn't high upon their list of priorities.

As I said in the other thread I suspect one reason not to bury him on land is to avoid giving him a shrine. I like the idea of him getting chucked into the cold sea thousands of miles away from Mecca.

:thumbsup:

Great move to burry him quickly at sea IMO, shows reverence to the Muslim relegion yet eliminates the possibility of creating a terrorist shrine. And I'm pretty certain they accumulated enough proof of his demise to satisfy all but the true conspiracy nuts who would never believe any way.

To answer the OP, yes there will be those fringe whackos (as witnessed in this thread) who will question OBL's death, and they will be vocal here in the beginning. But I doubt very seriously that the idea will gain any traction with any serious political contenders and they will be looking to distance themselves from the lunatic fringe on this one. I don't think even Trump is stupid enough to jump on this crazy train.

To stop some wackos from beheading an innocent person x 1000 like when that pastor burned the Quran.

The immediate burial at sea thing makes a lot of sense - don't leave any sort of marked grave out there to be used as a symbol. But I hope that they first took thorough photographic and video evidence, and maybe even kept a hand or foot to bring back to the U.S. for the DNA match.

Can't argue that. If he was alive he would tell the world. I must say the world would realize it IF. You can show proof that OBL was alive last year or the year befor that and before that. When is the last time anyone has proof he was alive . IF he was dead along time ago.and Arabs didn't talk . They sure cann't say he was dead along time ago if they insisted he was alive all this time . and the burial at sea is pure BS. That body should have been put on display for the world to see. I believe he is dead . But not recently dead .
Getting rid of body is wrong way to prove he just died/.

The sheepo will follow whatever our government says. complete retards.

Jesus his most recent authenticated tapes were a couple of months ago in relation to the French hostages being held. And as I type this I realize there is really no value in pointing that out as I'm sure you will find another reason to discredit this action without any actual merit.

You call the POTUS a liar yet you offer no proof of your claims, and you demand proof to debunk your unsubstantiated claim. The only thing you have to back up your claim is an irrational distrust of the government and an obvious hatred for our president. Sorry but you sir are the complete retard.
