Couldn't get Dale Earnhardt's pics. I wouldn't bet on it.

WaltzingMathilda		2012-01-31 09:28:33 PM

they will lose. the national security case is too strong. keep dreaming bloodthirstymitter.

AverageAmericanGuy		2012-01-31 09:35:46 PM

Such pics do not exist. The raid was a charade.

Vodka Zombie		2012-01-31 09:42:22 PM

Dammit. And here I was just writing a story for WND about how bin Laden is actually alive, in American custody, and in a cell deep inside Cheyenne Mountain. He's receiving free medical care, but the US is torturing him like crazy. They just wanted Al Qaeda to think he was killed, but he's spilling the beans on his old buddies so Obama can make huge advances in the war on terror to keep people from looking into his birth certificate.

Releasing the pictures is going to make things a little difficult.

Gulper Eel		2012-01-31 09:46:00 PM

The CIA has argued that such a disclosure would "trigger violence" around the globe

Whatever. A cartoon sets off the nutters, too. A slab of bacon, an uncovered leg, a song...shiat, I hope the whole world not only sees the corpse, but also finds out that SEAL who plugged Crazy Sammy is as gay as an Easter bonnet at an Erasure show in Provincetown on Oscar Wilde's birthday.

It would have been better planned for this year in that case.

Obama has shown no compunction in using the military to stage elaborate attention diverting operations at politically expedient times.

An October Surprise is certainly in the works.

Yeah, he's alive and well and living in Somalia making a living abduct.. eh? Oh. crap. Never mind. He's toast.

Not sure that "spiffy" tag and "Backlash" headline make for a coherent pair.

Which SEAL team killed Dale?

They may lose. I dont think national security is a valid reason. We killed the guy responsible, so suck it retaliators; bring your worst if you think you can handle it.

I disagree with the tag 'bloodthirstymitter' though. I think it has more to do with proof and closure which Americans are owed considering the price paid.

Looks like SEAL Team 36

It wont matter.

Those Conspiracy theorists will claim the pictures are doctored in every way.

There is no winning these paranoid idiots over.

Really. How can photographic, even video footage be solid evidence of anything anymore when anyone with intermediate PhotoShop or AfterEffects experience can whip up anything they want?

RodneyToady		2012-01-31 11:32:59 PM

Personally, I'm hoping "dead Osama" becomes the new "sad Keanu."

Of course, Judicial Watch's motives are in the best interest of the American people. Uh huh. Yup.

Right Wing response to pics not being released:
What are you hiding? Why don't you want us to see bin Laden after death? Is he really dead? Why do you hate America?

Right Wing response to pics being released:
Why the hell did you release those? Now you're enabling our enemies! You've handed them new membership on a silver platter! Those photos are gruesome, what if a child saw that?!?! Won't somebody please think of the children? Why do you hate America?

Lefty loonie response is funny. Glad we got it.

Cyberluddite		2012-02-01 12:41:26 AM

I don't really need to see them, and I'm not sure I see what good it would do to release them. There probably is a legitimate legal/contitutionsl right to demand their public release, but this is another example of a situation where just because you have the right to demand something, it doesn't mean it's a good idea to demand it.

BFD. This is useful only for ghouls You either accept that OBL is dead - thus no pictures are needed - or you don't - in which case nothing will ever change your mind because you're fkn insane.

Who thinks OBL isn't dead? Most rational people accepted his death. In 2006.

It was mostly tongue in cheek...but google it, they are out there. I doubt they accept Obama's birth certificate, too.

You did say "rational," I'll give you that, but there are a large number of irrational people around here, and what they think matters (unfortunately)

Christ.

I dislike Taxbongo. I dislike him a lot.

But he is the farking President. He made this decision after weighing the pro's and con's of such. Its not like he is withholding information about a massacre of civilians at a refugee camp. Its a picture of a farking corpse.

Jesus farking Christ, people.

Osama is dead. He was killed in May of last year. How do I know that? Because no one in their right farking mind would commit such an easily refutable case of fraud. Hell, even Al Qeada admitted it.

Because if he was still alive all he would have to do is release a tape

Sure, but you're assuming that cyberzombie William Casey, DCI, isn't ussing the orders from the tunnels linking the Veep's underground bunker to Arlington.

I won't make that assumption.

Can you provide a source or poll or anything that shows most people accepted his death in 2006?

Exactly, there are no eggshells to be walked upon around these nuts, they'd act like savages just watching Strawberry Shortcake while eating fruit rollups.
