Title: bin Laden - Obama Credit and Blunder

In a dramatic late night announcement, President Obama went on national television last night and told the American people that a Navy Seal team killed Osama bin Laden.

The U.S. government announced that they sent bin Laden to his watery grave, probably somewhere in the Arabian Sea.

Bravo to Obama and CIA Chief Leon Panetta for brining bin Laden to justice.

However, the decisions surrounding the disposition of bin Laden's cold, dead body were not without controversy.

I'm not a conspiracy nut, but I wonder why the government didn't keep bin Laden's body around for independent verification.

Obama is from Chicago -- a town notorious for winning close elections within the margin of error coming from dead people voting from the grave. Those dead folks put Kennedy in office in 1960.

Yes, bin Laden is probably dead, but the Obama administration should have produced independent verification of bin Laden's death. They didn't.

The administration's mistakes around verification of bin Laden's death will result in bin Laden's demise joining Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy assassination in the chronicles of American conspiratorial political history.

It didn't have to be that way. But the administration's actions made it so.

What would satisfy you? How about pictures taken by the SEALS who killed him? Would that do?

They have pictures. They are debating whether or not to release them. They need to release them with whatever dental, DNA, etc evidence they have.

I believe they killed they killed bin Laden and I give Leon Panatta and Obama all of the credit in the world.

However, they dumped bin Laden's body overboard. It was a huge mistake. Long after we are dead there will be conspiracy theories about this.

Obama could have made this very clear. But he dumped his body in the ocean with no verification. That's the problem.

Well, I could go either way on that. I can see why they'd want to get rid of the body pronto, just like the Russians did with Hitler's body. You don't want to give the remaining crazies a relic to rally around.

On the other hand, you're right, there will be a huge conspiracy built up over this, just like with Hitler.

Independent verification of DNA. That would have put to rest any reasonable and rational challenges. But they dumped his body overboard instead. Why did they do this??? No answer.

It demonstrates how tone deaf they are.

I agree, but if you do dump the body there is a much larger set of crazies who will charge conspiracy.

I am for the truth. Lay the body out and let people pick away at it.

bin Laden had NO dignity, so lay his body out. Who cares?

Bravo to the Obama administration for killing the bastard. But they made a huge mistake dumping his body overboard.

Don't you seem to be arguing both sides? I think all the conspiracy crazies as you call them want is conclusive proof from a reputable source. The current White House is not such a source.

No image was released. So I don't know why you assume there is some evidence that was released that needs debunking. If it is released it is released via official agencies which are answerable to the people/freedom of information act.

Independent verification of DNA.

If you had not spent so much time in Republican crazy land you would have read that we have Bin Laden blood samples (donated it seems) to compare DNA against.

I love this comment mocking the American kook right:

pianobody at 5:26 PM May 02, 2011

Uh oh...this sounds an awful lot like "science" - which we all know is just high-falutin' nonsense put forward by godless elitists and libtards who hate America. This will go down as the Obama Regime's greatest con ever.

I won't believe bin Laden's dead until Donald Trump tells me himself. In person. How else could an uneducated, conspiracy-theory-prone voter like me really be sure?

I sure don't trust the media, that's for sure...well, except for Fox News...which was the ONLY network smart enough to not break into its Sunday night lineup to announce the alleged death of bin Laden. That tells me right there that this is all just hooey.
