Obama Decides Not to Release OBL Death Photos

Along with BeerNuts's post, stmadeveloper made some solid points here and here.

Note that some of us are not saying, "POTUS IS LYING. OSAMA IS ALIVE. OSAMA WAS KILLED IN 2003!"

We're saying (to the administration), "Yeah, we heard you. But you guys have lied to us so many times, we'd be pretty stupid to believe things at face value. You say OBL got dead in a certain way at a certain time? Fine. I can't trust you to tell the truth, but... fine."


Not only that, but their reasoning makes no sense at all. They don't want to produce propaganda, and yet leave bodies in the compound? And if they weren't going to take and release photos, then why risk Navy seals to go in at all? Why not just bomb the place and scrape DNA off of the rubble?

I never gave 2 shits about a birth-certificate, but this is straight up BS.
 


lmfao Bin laden was definitely a good comic book villain, but I suppose Gaddafi will do in taking that place.. for now.

what's your guys views on this?:

here are some FACTS:

Osama was on dialysis for serious kidney disease all the way back in 2001, he was being treated in a Pakistani hospital in serious condition.. this was even reported by French newspapers but yet there was no attempt to apprehend him.

His kidney disease was so severe he needed to buy a portable dialysis machine

In about 2004 it looked like he aged 25 years in 3 years, his beard was almost completely grey (was dying quickly)

-My guess is he died soon after that video-

Next set of videos he looks like he's perfectly fine again, his beard is black without any greys and he admits to all the 9/11 attacks in which he had always previously denied. Many speculate these videos are fake for many reasons.

Now we have the official death of Bin Laden:

-Photos were released in several news agencies of his corpse. proven fakes, now blamed on conspiracy theorists.

-Whitehouse claims they still have the official death photos but wont release them

-All soldiers have cameras in their helmet which would have recorded video of Osamas death, also not released or ever spoken of.

-Osamas corpse was thrown out to sea within 24 hours of death to supposedly respect Islamic traditions (but yet Muslim scholars have said the dead are strictly to be buried unless no country will accept the body)

--

Obama takes credit for the death of Bin Laden right in time for election season! Americans gather outside whitehouse and chant USA USA!! Team America Fuck YEA!

Sorry people, I'm calling bullshit.
 
We searched for years for Suddam Hussein as well. And when we hung Saddam Hussein, there was almost no talk of conspiracy. Why? Because they released video of him hanging, and then put out a photo. All of it could have easily been faked, but the quick release of the media helped to squelch any conspiracy theories.

Now I'm not one calling BS on the death of OBL - I believe that he's dead. I'm just saying that the handling of it afterwards is total juvenile Bullshit.
 
The usual Wickedfire idiocy. It's sounding more and more like he sent some SEALS in, pissed Pakistan off, shot a bunch of unarmed dudes, then made up some absurd story. Hilarious to see the usual WF moronic sheeple ignorantly calling others sheeple. Oh, the irony.

I previously thought it absurd that so many people could be involved in an op like this and NOT kill OBL, but who knows now. This pan-Leninist doesn't give a fuck about the American people, he staged this whole thing to defibrillate his flatlining popularity and now plays games with the grief of an entire generation. People were rejoicing like idiots when they heard this news, I realized Obama simply went against every fiber of his being and actually did the right thing for once - but for what purpose? Now I'm wondering if he even did that.

I suppose it would be a beautiful symmetry if he staged this whole thing. Evil, diabolical, deceitful and dangerous, yes, but it would absolutely fit Obama's style. The man is nothing but a highly accomplished, professional liar.
 
^ If there was a conspiracy, people within the CIA and such could pull it off without Obama being involved, whereas there is no way he can stage something like this without help from them. A conspiracy here (or with 9/11) would go way beyond your usual left vs. right idiocy, which we all know is the angle you are viewing it from.



Not only that, but their reasoning makes no sense at all. They don't want to produce propaganda, and yet leave bodies in the compound? And if they weren't going to take and release photos, then why risk Navy seals to go in at all? Why not just bomb the place and scrape DNA off of the rubble?

They are reporting 9 women and 23 children in the compound. Even if there hadn't been, looking for DNA among the rubble would have been a complicated operation and the US didn't have permission to be in the country.

The story is that the raid also allowed them to get out computers and such. The helicopter crash supposedly made it so they couldn't even fit Osama's youngest wife on, and she would have been a bigger priority than the dead bodies.

I say supposedly because the NY Times says there were 79 people on the assault team. They would already have been counting on having extra space to bring stuff back, so even with one helicopter down, I would think they could manage to go from 79 people to 80. It's not like going from 2 people on a bike to 3. Though I imagine her being hysterical and bleeding made things a lot more complicated.
 
wtf is all this 'we hate conspirtards' bullshit, this is a entire message board of marketers and manipulators. All of us are collectively the sharks that sell shit to the sheep. This is what we do, this is what they do. How can you just accept everything they say as fact and blindly follow so easily. Do you also buy shit from your own landers?

I want to know what went down, the truth. I don't need to see a single photo that could be from any date or even photo shopped. I want to know why he was not taken alive if he was unarmed, dibetic, and on dialysis. He had no guards, was in the room with only his wife vs. 24 navy seals. The story they are spitting out is bullshit, it makes no fucking sense at all. Why are you guys all so quick to believe it and call anyone to questions this crap a conspiracy nut.

Isn't it funny to watch our President and Government fuck with the minds of its citizens. I for one would rather the President of the worlds most powerful country not act like a 10 year old, playing mind games with the citizens regardless of how few in number they are.

I was never a 'birther' but as more and more news came out and reports that over 30% of the population called it into question I wonder why the President didn't just fucking show the thing and end it. It would only take one fucking phone call, and 5mins of his time to end MONTHS of negative news. Haha, he sure played us all like idiots.

I would rather not have a person like this in power. I guess you are fine with it.

Edit: fuck you guys made 7 more posts while i wrote my rant. comment still stands.

I nominate this dude as leader of us "Conspiritards"... hopefully he can cut his own meat.
 
Obama had NOTHING to do with any of this OBL situation. Obama is a fucking CIA creation. His family is assholes deep in the CIA in one way or another going back three generations. Look into Project Monarch and MK Ultra.

More to the point: America's GDP is WAR! We are in the business of killing and regime change, or "spreading democracy" as they white wash.

Al-Qaeda is a CIA creation. Al-Qaeda means repository/list in Arabic aka database.
Al-Qaeda is what CIA recruiters referred (and still do) to a list or database of mercenaries spanning the Mid-East.

Al-Qaeda is the perfect Bogeyman and excuse to continue the oxymoronic "War against Terror".

The supposed killing of OBL is cover for the Mid-Easts outrage of our , America's campaign of Terror. Any opposition that arises due to our recent meddling in Libya or SOON TO BE MEDDLING in Pakistan will be blamed on Al-Qaeda insurgents retaliating over the murder of their beloved leader.

OBL... CIA straw man and product of Zbigniew Brzezinski:

i can understand those who support the govt version and don't question it. they simply don't want it. they want to protect themselves from the thought if I admit that all my govt is full of psycho pedos then why I'm so "let it be ..i don't give a fuchk anyway. for me it's ok now. i feel comfortable"
 
This debate is so stupid, it's just a photo. It's the only thing they have been talking about on the news like all day.

I think the photo should be released, but I don't care really if the president doesn't want to, it's not a big deal.

Just look at what Reuters released of the other people in the compound. It would look like that, only it would look like Osama. END OF STORY.

I don't get why people are going crazy and having a huge debate about the photo.


edit: sweet, top of page 2. also, somebody been had bin ladens in here?
 
I think it is very well done that they a) buried him at sea and b) will not release the pictures.

As for b - We are dealing with extremists who are still out to kill someone for a pretty lame cartoon that was published years ago. Publish a death picture of one of their leaders? Nonono, no, just no. Dumb move.

As for a - this was also done with the remains of the Nazi regime's leading fugures. They were cremated and dumped into a river somewhere in Germany. The reasoning behind this is to make it impossible for any place to become a shrine or pilgrimage place for their followers later.

Just my $.02

stop making fucking sense, obviously the govt is lying to you
 
Personally I did not at all believe they would release them, would be kind of morbid for the "president"/u.s government to release pictures of a guy who has been shot in the head, regardless of the circumstances, and its not like pictures prove anything regardless.

That was done in 1970. The remains were first buried in a forest in Germany, then reburied at a Russian base in Germany.

If the shrine thing was really that important to them, why would they first offer Osama's body to Saudi Arabia and other countries?

But what about when the extremists check out those Reuters pics that are scattered all over the web?!

That's the dumbest excuse of them all. Like these people that already want to kill us are going to be like "hey, they didn't release the photo, I guess we can have tea together now!" - LOL Get real.

And besides, what's a photo of their hero going to stir up, that a bullet to his face hasn't already stirred up? That excuse is pure lame! But it's not surprising. It fits right in with his character of appeasing other Countries before his own.

I mean who cares really that this guy turned many of his victims into dust, without even a trace of DNA to bring some small form of closure to their families. I honestly don't care if I ever see the photos, but those families should have the right to see it if they so choose.
 
I hope that bitch is still alive.

And strapped to a chair with a cattle prod up his ass and a few hundred micrograms of lsd in his system. That be a pretty good start for the first couple of weeks of his interogation.

That's how I'd roll if I was calling this fucking game. Sadly, I doubt Obama has the political balls for that type of move.
