Pictures or it didn't happen.
And another part of the White House story on bin Laden changes once again, which after promising repeatedly through Panetta to release pictures of a dead bin Laden, has instead decided not to reveal the death pics. We wonder how the administration for which this whole affair is rapidly shifting from a rally around the flag affair to one of losing credibility will then explain the following statement by Leon Panetta: "I don't think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public. We got bin Laden and I think we have to reveal to the rest of the world the fact that we were able to get him and kill him."
In the meantime, BBC provides the following info on what would have been seen:
Gruesome details of photographs showing Osama bin Laden's corpse have been revealed by US officials.
The pictures of the Qaeda leader reportedly show an open gun shot wound to his head, part of the skull missing and visible brain matter.
One of bin Laden's eyes is reportedly open in the images, while the other is "completely gone".
It comes as the White House and the CIA appear to be at loggerheads over whether to release the graphic pictures.
Senior figures in US President Barack Obama's administration are locked in talks about the publication of a post-mortem photos.
It is believed the President has concerns that producing the most identifiable picture of the terrorist chief could provoke a backlash.
He fears doing so may prompt a similar response to that seen after images of Saddam Hussein's dead sons were published in 2003.
And what was that response: validation of a potential lie, because as we all know the administration never lies? We can't wait for the conspiracy crew to go to town on this one.
It is about time for Donald Trump to demand if not the death cetificate, then at least the death pic, and make the farce complete.
So is reading the comments of folks who are far too trusting and believe whatever the government and the media tell them.
Yep. Remember this one? Classic made for Hollywood.
Media Myth-Making in the Iraq War Project for Excellence in Journalism, June 23, 2003
The story of Jessica Lynch's rescue was one of the most covered story lines during the war in Iraq. The young soldier from West Virginia was held up as an icon of the strength and spirit of the American volunteer soldier. Her rescue mission was called a daring, made-for-Hollywood story. In recent weeks, however, the stories about Lynch's capture, her time spent captive, and her rescue have been questioned. Many claim that the original reports were filled with inaccuracies that benefited the US government by creating positive feelings about the war. Below is a detailed chronology of the major stories in the evolution of the Lynch saga.

So reports of Osama Bin Laden being dead for years. Then no photos and seriously, burial at sea a few hours after blowing his face off.
And the stories keep changing. First it was a big bullet to the head. Then a double tap to the head. Then a shot to the head followed by shot to the chest. First he was armed and fighting, now they say he wasn't armed. And that part where they say he hid behind one of his wives. That's pure Hollywood.
Give me a fucking break. He can't produce more than a very bad fake birth certicate for years. Then you get the photoshopped layered "mockument" last week. His approval ratings were tanking.
Then BLAM! Osama is killed by Obama. Face blown off so no pictures? Proper burial at sea? That's rich. It's a sheeple story for the sleeping sheeple.
And btw, Lazy buttocks, my extremely liberal husband also recalls reading these reports and seeing them on the news. He also calls bullshit on this story. As a matter of fact, he called bullshit before I did. I'll be sure to let him know that you think we just pulled the stories out of our ass.
Correct. They've reported him dead over and over again since years ago.
French intelligence: He's dead, 2006:
Here is Pakistani PM Bhutto telling Al Jazeera that he had been killed by Omar Sheikh. 2007:

2009. Paki Prez says American Intelligence hasn't heard from him in 7 years and "I don't think he's alive."

Maybe they "buried" him at sea so no one could see the freezer burn.
An autopsy on the body would have revealed the time of death.
They are already changing their story (above).
The smell of false flag is in the air.
But you know what they can't propagandize away? $5 gasoline, a $6 for a loaf of bread, double digit unemployment, and foreclosed ghost neighborhoods.
White House Quietly Changing Story On Bin Laden
“The White House backed away Monday evening from key details in its narrative about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, including claims by senior U.S. officials that the Al Qaeda leader had a weapon and may have fired it during a gun battle with U.S. forces. . . . In another discrepancy, Brennan said during his on-the-record briefing that bin Laden’s son Khalid was killed in the attack. However, the official White House transcript had the counterterrorism adviser saying it was another son, Hamza, who perished in the raid.”

Remember that Senator Obama voted against funding the war. Now, he's taking credit for something started under Bush. KSM and another Gitmo detainee (under enhanced interrogation) gave the name of the courier that led the US to bin Laden. If Obama and the Democrats had their way, Gitmo would have been closed years ago,there would have been no enhanced interrogations, and Bush would have been tried for war crimes. I'm not going to let Obama have this victory for himself, because if it hadn't been for Bush, Obama would have nothing to gloat about today.
I also find it insanely bizarre that with something this critical going down, that Obama went and played golf yesterday. He proved once again that he is no commander in chief.
........
So let's see, the Democrats criticized Guantanamo Bay prison, criticized enhanced interrogations techniques, criticized Bush for initiating the hunt for bin laden, Obama's first executive order was to shutdown Guantanamo Bay, the Democrats continue to bash the military, call them stormtroopers and terrorists, yet the Democrats are the ones trying to grab credit for this just because they happen to occupy the white house? Classless.
You want 1984?
How much you want to bet that the liberals would be taking the opposite tack had this happened under Bush?
Targeted assassinations in sovereign countries is against international law!
Now?
Is there any tactic used to get Osama that the liberals did not completely disapprove of and try to dismantle?The lefties love to make partisan attacks when it is a Republican president when something like this happens. But they will gladly use the info gained and claim full credit for the results when it is on their watch. Shameless.
Liberals are joining America's fastes growing faith: born-again waterboarders.
Let Me Say Something About Bush and Cheney: For the last four years, they have known they broke KSM and this other high value target and got the names of Osama's couriers.
They have only stated elliptically, without specifics, that "important information was learned."
They were called liars every time they said this.
At any time, they could have exposed their critics as the anti-American, terrorist-coddling hyperpartisans they were, by revealing this crown jewel of American intelligence.
But they didn't.
They allowed their names to be slurred on a daily basis in order to preserve the secret. To allow Obama to capitalize on the information they procured.
Well.
The secret is out now.
It's time for credit to be taken and apologies to be granted -- or apologies to beforced and shamed out of people.
I hope this is a little clearer.
What's clear is that anything to do with criticism of a black president will make you play the race card. Racist.
We just killed their leader, their hero. How we handle the body in an Islamic tradition is going to make a difference to them? They already hate us for the infidels we are. So we buried OBL in their tradition. Big deal.
So we can bomb, shoot and burn them to our hearts content....but if we don't dump them in the Indian ocean within 24 hours, they get offended.
