Osama Bin Laden's dead... supposedly...
« on: May 02, 2011, 06:21:34 PM »
The word is Osama Bin Laden has been under surveillance for about 4 months and was finally taken out.   He was not captured, but killed, and then rather quickly buried at sea.   Buried at SEA!!??!!??   Other reports say he was killed over a week ago...  Its frustrating when the media cant get the facts straight... or the government cant get the facts straight... take your pick.  Now I'm hesitant to believe either story and you know the conspiracy theories will abound in short order...   God only knows what really happened.

Instead of a burial at sea, if he is in fact dead, we should have buried him face down on a freshly slaughtered pig with a six pack of Bud and a couple of Hustler magazines (I wouldnt waste Playboy on him).  See if Allah will let him into Heaven now...   :(

I take it you are not Muslim. They attempted to give him an acceptable Muslim burial. According to Islamic teachings, the highest honor to be bestowed on the dead is giving the deceased a swift burial, preferably before sunset. Better that then having all the fundamentalist Muslims rising up because of an improper burial(which they still might because the sea burial might have not been acceptable).

I would be interested to see where you read that he was killed over a week ago as I have not seen that. And I would argue God has no idea what happened. :)


ps; It's about frickin time they get this guy.

No I'm not...  and I try to stay out of religious or political conversations - guess I've failed miserably this time (twice)...   :-[

There wont be any appeasing of the fundamentalists because he's DEAD...  One of the TV stations "suggested" the operation MAY actually have happened last week...  See, if you say it MAY HAVE happened last week (which means it may not have happened) and never divulge your sources there is no one to BLAME for not checking your facts...  It also creates conflict and we all LOVE conflicting stories - gets us to tune in more often...

Double tap to the head was too merciful in my opinion!
