US kills Osama bin Laden decade after 9/11 attacks
WASHINGTON (AP) - Osama bin Laden, the face of global terrorism and architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, was killed in a firefight with elite American forces Monday, then quickly buried at sea in a stunning finale to a furtive decade on the run.
Long believed to be hiding in caves, bin Laden was tracked down in a costly, custom-built hideout not far from a Pakistani military academy.
“Justice has been done,” President Barack Obama said in a dramatic announcement at the White House while a crowd cheered outside and hundreds more gathered at ground zero in Manhattan to celebrate the news.
The military operation took mere minutes.

US kills Osama bin Laden decade after 9/11 attacks
The important thing to remember is this, it’s NOT over.
And the below my friends, is the reason we must NEVER forget Sept. 11, 2001.
Official: Bin Laden buried at sea
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.

Official: Bin Laden buried at sea
Call me suspicious, call me HIGHLY skeptical, call me anything you like, but I do NOT trust Barack Hussein Obama and his EVIL administration, not in ANY way, and if the above is true, if Bin Laden’s body has been buried at sea, I am even MORE skeptical and in disbelief at this whole thing.
Think about it for a minute, Barack Hussein Obama’s poll numbers are in the tank, he is rapidly going down in history as the WORST President EVER, and all of a sudden there’s a supposedly REAL birth certificate for Barack Hussein Obama, and then, Osama bin Laden dead? All in one week?
Really? What’s next? Magic Fairy Dust? Unicorn farts? The Lucky Charms Leprechaun is going to fix the economy?
Americans were joyous last night. There was an impromptu gathering around the gates of the White House, people singing *God Bless America*, chanting USA, USA, USA. There were more impromptu gatherings at Ground Zero and in Times Square.
The joy is easily understandable, I was happy to hear the news too, and then reality hit me like a sack of cement.
From the original story:
The U.S. official who disclosed the burial at sea said it would have been difficult to find a country willing to accept the remains. Obama said the remains had been handled in accordance with Islamic custom, which requires speedy burial.
I’m sorry folks, but I have my doubts. This stinks like 3 day old fish, and it smell like a move made by a man that wants to get his poll numbers back up in a hurry.
Who cares about Islamic burial traditions and practices. He needs to be in a coffin encased in swine entrails.
To dispose of the body so fast brings a lot of suspicion. Something just doesn’t seem right.
Why isn’t Osama’s head displayed on a stake at ground zero??????
JDL
Remember the US Spec Forces killed and mutilated, burned and hung up in pieces 0n a bridge super structure?
I certainly do!!!
Obama Bin Laden should have been treated the same way.
If bin Laden was burried at sea, there better be pictures of the corpse on the internet today. Then we have the DNA confirmation; why get rid of the body when you don’t know the results of the test. Why the political correctness on the burial? Longstreet has it right; the guys head should be on a pike for all the world to see. Too much bullshit here for my liking. Only a billion more of these asshats to go.
The moment I heard about the sea burial I knew the whole thing was bs. After all the pain and suffering this guy caused and/or orchestrated, anything less then stuffed and mounted on a wall is just plain blasphemy. I call bs.
The American people, and especially those whose loved ones died on 9-11, deserve to see the bastard’s corpse.
He doesn’t deserve any respect normally accorded Muslims in death. As Glen Beck emailed Don Imus, his body should have been wrapped in bacon and buried under the 50 yard line of the Meadowlands.
But before that, parade his body around NYC, and give us the opportunity to spit on it.
Don’t know if this is related, or if anyone else put this together, but while waiting for the regular programming to return (since the Media was having an Obamagasm waiting for hi to address the country), I thought about the coincidence of the CoLB, and then bin Laden’s “death” - and, while waiting, and waiting, and waiting for His Residency to speak, I started wondering why it was taking him so long. Then it occurred - could he be trying to compose himself, since he’s just lost one of his role models and heroes?
I mean, think about it - O’Blivious wants to tear down this country - and Bin Laden managed to attack the very core of what the left believes to be the biggest problem with the US - the financial market, or at least the largest symbol OF the financial market.
Like many above, I am calling BS on this. Without an actual body, without cell phone or video images of the operation, it didn’t happen.
I have to go with everybody’s feelings on this especially James, and Mr Chuck.
This bastard should NOT get anything according to the islamic customs. Why did we have to use the PC card when dealing with this bastard. If they retaliate(you can bet on it)will they afford us the same rites? NO, (you can bet on that too)
I don’t believe that the United States Military would be involved in a scam just to improve Obama’s poll numbers.
They got him and I’m happy for that.
Borrowed your never forget graphic. From my post on the subject: “My preferences would have been to display the body, have any New Yorker or military person spit on the body, cremate him and then scatter his ashes from here to Afghanistan.”
I wouldn’t have spit on him, but I would have taken a couple of pounds of dog crap to dump on the body.
RP — No one knows, with 100% certainty, that the U.S. military did ANYTHING… All we have is the word of the Obama administration, and that WORD isn’t worth a bucket of warm piss…
You know, I have NO DOUBT Osama is dead. My question is more how, and why now? I have a theory that Osama’s whereabouts have been known for a very long time, perhaps back into the Bush years. As early as 2007, but I think our government was leery of taking him out as to not make him a martyr. I’m willing to bet Osama had a couple of winks and nods to stay where he was, surrounded by Paki Military and he wouldn’t be taken out…. That’s why he felt so secure there as to keep his family with him. Then Obama’s numbers tanked, his re-election looked doubtful… Okay Osama you gotta go.
Obama called GWB, “Hey GW, I had to shoot the rat in the cage, we’ll take our chances with retribution, but I need something good for the people, sorry”
OR it went down exactly as it’s being told by our government…. Um probably not, they have lost all trust because of their actions in the past. I don’t trust em at all.
Wishful thinking maybe??
I am still seeing NOTHING that totally convinces me.
Maybe it’s because I know the grand charades that the U.S. government is capable of, and has perpetrated in the past, maybe it’s because I’m a natural skeptic, maybe it’s because I just don’t believe Barack Hussein Obama had the BALLS to order such…
In any case, I am NOT convinced, and the reported death, the incredibly fast release of the supposed DNA match and almost immediate announcement that his body was *buried at sea*, the inconsistencies in the stories offered up, air strike, helicopter assault, all of it, has left me feeling like we were just fed a line of crap!
Never underestimate the power of the re-election…. Like I said man, something aint right. It’s got something to do with Obama being next to a Paki Military gives the appearance that Osama was ALLOWED residence there. It was a huge compound… It was almost like he was there “In case of emergency, break glass”…. Just my opinion
Killed by Navy Seals is confirmed. Burial at sea is fine for me. He just became Shark food. Neat and easy.
This war is far from over, just because
Obamaoops Osama is dead just means like a Hydra another will arise to take his place.I do believe that we took out bin Laden, although I found the burial at sea so quickly to be a little strange. But I do think that we knew where he was for a while and Obama waited for the perfect political timing before he did anything.
To Martin Vennard — I did NOT say I doubt that bin Laden is dead, I said I doubt the word of Obama, and the convenience of the way this all played out, the birth certificate AND bin Laden, all in one week…
I have long believed bin Laden dead, and I was suspect that Obama had drug some moldy cadaver out and used it to perpetrate a grand charade… It would NOT be beneath the bastard…
No, I will NOT send you my phone number, I don’t give a DAMN about being interviewed by a British news source or talk show program, I don’t give a DAMN about a British ANYTHING for that matter… Good day to you!
Fred, I think you are on to something here. OBL was kept in a glass container that says, Break When Need Of Re Election.
Good post Fred!
