Does anyone feel cheated that we have not been able to see the death photos of the one that is responsible for the biggest attack on US soil? The White House deems the photos as being too graphic or they fear it would inspire another attack if the pictures are released.
But every year on 911 our tvs are filled with videos and pictures from that horrific day in 2001. We are privy to watching the planes full of American's as they are flown into the towers, we watch as American's suffer hanging out the windows with rags trying to signal for help then as they are forced to leap instead of burn as the fire rages on, we watch as Firefighters and Police Officers run into the building attempting to shepherd people to safety and never return. How are these pictures and videos any less graphic? With Obama threatening to bomb Syria how doesn't that inspire more attacks? |

Who says he's dead? He's at a CIA debriefing center in Virginia until all the info is gotten from him. Since he is cooperating the gov't will set him up with a 7-11 franchise when the debrief is complete.

I don't know if "cheated" is the right word, but yeah, it pisses me off that "we the people" are told by this administration that we just need to trust them on this.
Personally, I don't trust them at all and I would like to be given indisputable evidence that one of the most evil enemies of the United States has been killed. |

Just watch some of the thousands of FSA videos out there and use your imagination to place obl's face on any FSA going to a snackbar.
|

I reserve the right to not believe we actually got him in absence of photographic evidence and that bullshit "burial at sea."
|

Conspiracy theories aside. Yes its bullshit. They should have realsed pics of the corpse. If nothing else just to shut the tin foil crew up. (Well until they started the "looks like a chop to me")

He's dead. He died at "our" hand.
That's really all I care about. Quoted:

As long as he's dead, I don't need to see the photos. And my tinfoil is not so tight that I think he's still alive. Elvis is most certainly alive, but OBL is dead as a door nail

|
Personally...no. Doesn't matter to me, all that much.
Should they have been released? Yes. |

I think I may have seen one of the pics. A drunk intel officer at a sporting event showed me a pic on his cell phone that I had never seen before. (I have seen all of the chops. This is not a picture I have ever seen or seen since.) I didn't believe it at first because the beard on the guy in the picture was jet black with no grey. A couple of weeks later I read 'No Easy Day' which said that UBL dyed his beard and they found a box of the dye in his room. The camo pattern of the sleeve in the picture (someone was holding the head in place for the pic) matched the SEALs camo pattern from the book as well. The wound was also as it was described in the book. I posted a thread on here about it and it was nuked. The drunk guy in question also showed me pictures of himself with some very high ranking military officials and politicians. He described his job as "someone who analyzes satellite pictures and tries to guess what is inside buildings and boxes". Something tells me that the picture was real. It looked EXACTLY like who it was supposed to except for the beard being jet black. |

I could'nt give less of a fuck.
the deal is done, move on. one less piece of shit breathing our air. The sun shines a little bit brighter today..... |

Impossible to know if legit, but British media had pics of a dead muj with a bullet hole above his left eye and subsequent back half of skull missing. The face/head looked inflated, like a balloon. Like I said: impossible to know for sure, but it sure as shit looked like him

I feel cheated...When W captured terrorists (dead or alive) their faces were broadcast everywhere. Back then it was used as a "proof" that we got them and were willing to show them off. The SMU's that got both of Saddam's sons had no problems showing them off, same with Saddam (even though he was taken alive). Al-Zaqari was another one that was used as a proof. UBL's photos need to be released.
|
|
Yes I wuld like to see them.
I do want to believe the author who was involved. If he says dead, then I will take him at his word. |
|
I still wonder if we have UBL in a cooler somewhere and when needed we can put him on display somewhere.
|
|
He was already dead for years....
Besides he was a CIA asset hired by Zbigniew Brzezinski. |
|
|
He can't be shown because the safety of our soldiers and Marines. The Islamic terrorist would go all "Durka Durka Islamic Jihad " on them if we did.

I'd love to have seen real time video of the raid............just to see the "Oh Crap" look on OBL's face before he got popped

"We can't show you the photo, because the leader of Islamic radicals would be made into an important person, and the photo would make the people who want to kill us, want to kill us more"
That's pretty much the logic behind it all. |
|
Trust but verify. This is the US gov. and we are supposed to believe what they say?!

Thoughts on my post anyone? Think it can be possible? I am really convince that it was the real deal.

Without proof, I will not believe that Liar in the White House.

Like OP said, we get to see videos of 9/11 every year. The Hajis will kill our people, drag them through the streets, then hang their bodies from bridges while burning American flags. The pictures of OBL should be released the world over. |
|
They will be released right around the same time the Sandy Hook surveillance camera footage of Adam Lanza.

Yup, that would be WAY more satisfying to me than another corpse picture.
A helmet cam image of sheer surprise (and hopefully terror) on his face right before getting zapped would be infinitely more satisfying. Maybe our great great great grand kids will get to see it in a hundred and fifty years or so when it's on the history channel. Quoted:

I don't, I wish I'd saved it. Then again, maybe best that I didn't (insert tinfoil hat smilie here) it was at least a year ago IIRC As far as the fakes go... yes, I've seen those too. Those were/are pretty bad, and obviously so. The pics I referred to (Brits) were different. That nose... unmistakable... Not to beat a dead horse, and impossible to verify, but I'll be damned if it wasn't him |

If it is real the guy in question should be fucking fired for have classified content on his fucking cell phone. I am thinking that the picture was an original from one of the teams guys and has made the rounds. It was fucking eerie when I read the information in NED and it matched the picture. The cockles on my neck stood on end and I got goosebumps. Some of the other pics this guy had were pretty remarkable too. For some reason he though I was .mil even though I told him I wasn't. I was hanging out with some of my .mil buddies and have been told I carry myself as a servicemember. I went to military school which would explain it. I told him many times that I was not a veteran/military and he kept asking me: "C'mon who do you work for". I told him I was a .gov employee and he wouldn't let it go thinking I was some super secret squirrel. Really weird guy. |

Somewhere there's a cellphone with pictures of a Seal tea bagging OBL.

He could have been killed in one of the bombings. Who the fuck knows. I just know if Bush had been in office when he was killed and all this no photo stuff and burial at sea had happened the libs would have been all over themselves screaming fake/distraction/bullshit/whatever. Hell, I probably would have questioned it under Bush if it had gone down the same way, too. At least we know we got Saddam. |
