Hmm, have no way to confirm …but I found a final Osama Pic: http://europeancourier.org/test/2011/05/02/photos...
He looks as if it hurt.
Good!
We now have the first 'Deather'. Cindy Sheehan is back! And now wants to see the death certificate of OBL.
they seem to be accurate; they show- conclusively- a double tap to the back of the head…
This was no firefight, he was awakened by several 9mm slugs and most likely had to make the trip to see Allah quite unprepared; one thinks he is sorting out his affairs in the afterlife with some difficulty…
there is no 'Cindy Sheehan'…
She is just a paid vessel for some of the more noxious leftist groups out there who write what she says and script what she does; she has not had an original thought since her first trip to Crawford, Tx. …
I feel a little less sane every time someone says torture doesn't work. Yes it works, you know it works, and there is no argument you can make without mental gymnastics worthy of Olympic competition to say otherwise.
Guess a band-aid and a peck to his forehead by his mama ain't gonna do much right now.
Dennis Miller had a brilliant comment the other day. He said Time magazine's Man of the Year should be waterboarding.
Am suspect …want to to bet the WH released these photos to the Pakistani Geo TV ???
if they're fakes they are good ones; it is him in the photo and those wounds are accurate representations of what a suppressed 9mm would do in the right circumstances. And releasing them on the sly to the Pakis makes sense as well; they can be 'laundered' by the arab media first.
This what takes place when you 'focus group' EVERY decision…
Gruesome? I find beheadings, stonings and lashings a bit more gruesome than a bullet to the head.
Waterboarding is much more humane than the tactics the Taliban and al Qaeda use…..
You are correct on the 'accuracy'. Well, we should know soon enough …in the next hour, 2?
OK now,……..let's see if I got this right:
The president tortures an enemy combatant,…..
and gets some vital information from prisoners that…….
are being detained at GITMO.
This president than employs the CIA to come up with a covert plan and,…..
than orders our military to go into a sovereign nation,…..
and finally gives the GREEN light to shoot and kill,…..
an unarmed man and woman.
We are, all of course, delighted at the out and,….
with Obama as president, we even have the MSM cheering.
Man it sure is a good thing we do not have Bush anymore.
Just wish we could use it on Soros
Is Hussein Obama going to give back that Nobel Peace Prize ?
That was what all the Middle Eastern media and European media was showing. Then bloggers revealed it is a fake photo. http://theintelhub.com/2011/05/02/fake-picture-us.... The whitehouse also said it was fake. Thought everyone knew this.;)
If left up to the Liberals in the United States of America, Osama bin Laden would be President of the United States of America….. for life.
Someone sent me a link via text and I searched it and came up with this site: http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/05/osa...
I also heard on Rush that F. Chuck Todd tweeted that the White House made the decision to NOT release the actual photo.
I work in Photoshop, and while I'm not the best at it, you can do some pretty amazing things with time, patience and an understanding of the workings of the software functions…….
Right now, we are living in a world of deception….in the truest sense of the term…..
Fake.

It's a shop.

I'D LOVE to waterboard a few LIBERAL politicians!
Nutsy Baloney and Liberals are nothing but lumps of dog poop. Ridding America of them would make us stronger and safer in a NY second.

Story changing look at this…
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2....
agreed.
Obama's message to the right wing is "How do you like me now… biitch".
Naw, he's probably halfway through his quota of virgins he gets to deflower and singing the praises of Allah.
"Allahu Akbar!"
Spoken like a true bagger f#ck. Unfortunately for you Bubba, we're not going anywhere.
Ahhhhhh can you prove it really was Osama? No.
Whatever happened to good ol' truth serum? Seems like a lot less hassle.
Here's something Glen Greenwald wrote:
"The fact that some piece of intelligence was obtained by some lawless Bush/Cheney War on Terror policy (whether it be torture or warrantless eavesdropping) proves nothing about whether that policy was effective or necessary.
And those causal issues are, of course, entirely independent of the legal and moral questions shunted to the side by this reignited "debate." There are many actions that the U.S. could take that would advance its interests that are nonetheless obviously wrong on moral and legal grounds. When Donald Trump recently suggested that we should simply take Libya's oil and that of any other country which we successfully invade and occupy, that suggestion prompted widespread mockery from the vast majority of people. That was the reaction despite the fact that stealing other countries' oil would in fact produce substantial benefits for the U.S. and advance our interests: it would help to lower gas prices, reduce our dependence on hostile oil-producing nations, and avoid having to degrade our own environment in order to drill domestically. Trump's proposal is morally reprehensible and flagrantly lawless despite how many benefits it would produce; therefore, no person of even minimal decency would embrace it no matter how many benefits it produces."
Oh please, don't pass on someone else's opinion as fact. That is pure conjecture shrouded in an ill-conceived moral argument. Legality and morality are irrelevant in terms of sovereign states, the whole argument is undermined by the first sentence "the fact that some piece of evidence was obtained," the rest is obfuscation and isn't even the same issue. Fact: intel was gathered, intel was used. Thanks for the laugh though.
Besides the subject is waterboarding. Greenwald was talking about forcing men to wear underwear on their heads.
My mom always used tincture of iodinie or a vitamin E. Then, one day Bactine was invented.
The only thing that would make OBL look any better if maggots were crawling out his pie hole.
It seems as though half his head would be held on with duct tape if he really took one in the eye, unless it was a full-jacket. Should have used hollowpoints…
Have you ever seen a virgin in the Middle East? Most are under 6 years old.
Why do you suppose they all covered their women from head to toe? It was so some warlord wouldn't take your pretty wife as his sex slave.
The only thing OBL is getting right now is a clean picking by some hagfish.
Because he happened to actually answer the three o'clock call and make the decision a ten year old could, my impression of the poser is the same. He still suckith.
I'd say you were second, but I doubt your citizenship.
whoosh…
hollowpoint ammunition is forbidden by Geneva convention; military carries fmj, ap or tracer only. That's why the SAS developed the 'double tap' to compensate for the 9mm round…
Not so much.
His message is ….."Bush was right"
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
But the truth is Imam Hussein Onama could not bring himself to go after Bin Laden,and after not being able to make a decision the general made it for him.
Obama is not a leader, he is a wimpy manchild .
