Waiting for the pic of the century
Looks like the White House may release at least one photo of dead bin Laden and perhaps more pics and video of the raid.
Take everything bungling deputy national security adviser John Brennan says with a grain of salt, of course — but here are the latest details via ABC News:
“We are looking at releasing additional information, details about the raid as well as any other types of material, possibly including photos. We want to understand exactly what the possible reaction might be to the release of this information,” said White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan on “Good Morning America.”
Also up for consideration is the release of video from the “helmet cams” of the Navy SEALS who went after bin Laden. The SEALS captured the mission on tape by wearing helmet cameras.
“Any types of material related to the raid, we need to make sure that we make the right decisions. What we don’t want to do is to compromise potential future operations by releasing certain things, so we’re looking at all of this and making the right decisions,” Brennan said.
As I said yesterday about the tired old concerns that photos/video might “enflame” the Muslim world, when is it not enflamed?

Of course Osama had to be killed.
One of Obama’s first executive orders, signed January 22, 2009, was that Gitmo would be closed within a year. Campaign promise broken, executive order ignored.
If Osama had been taken alive, his presence in Guantanamo, and a visit before the military tribunals that Obama and Holder cancelled (hence the scheduling of a Khalid Sheikh Mohammad trial in Manhattan)before they uncancelled them when they realized even fellow travellers like Chuckie Schumer didn’t want the September 11th mastermind in a court room within sight of ground zero, well, an alive Osama would not have been good politically for Obama, and the traitor in chief does nothing first and foremost for the benefit of this country.
I’m sure Obama is of mixed feelings. He shares some of the disgust and distaste for the US founded on Judeo-Christian values his mentors terror bomber Bill Ayers and cop killer Bernadine Dohrn had, he probably agreed with Ward Churchill on the “Little Eichmanns” comment, killing Osama was good politically, but they shared so much in common philosophically.
I have mass quantities of such useless trivia stuck in my cranium. I wish it paid my bills.

Anyone wishing to venture over to the dark side on the OLB issue should have a look Here

OBL, not OLB
Good for that. Could be a limited theater release for award qualification, and then straight to PPV and DVD. I’d be going the DVD route myself. I don’t like going to theatres any more.
Well, one culture’s slum is another one’s upscale neighborhood. It’s all a matter of perspective.
Besides, the way the dollar is losing value, this may be similar to what you’ll be calling a million dollar property in the USA soon.
I dunno… if al Qaeda wanted to keep their data secure from this administration, they would be using Windows PCs… cause all this boutique administration can barely handle is iOS (or, when pressed, OSX).
If they really wanted to be secure, they’d have used Linux boxes.
Obama: Linux? ain’t that the kid on Peanuts with the blankie?
Now that’s funny!
I know of your posts and that is why I was surprised at the other one. But perhaps you said it in jest. My apologies if I was too harsh.
No problem, I was merely commenting on how the dialogue was now saying OBL was unarmed, so I knew the unwashed muslim masses would surely be pitching a fit over it. I was trying to be sarcastic but failed, as yours was not the first to imply I was being squishy about the manner of OBL’s demise.
Yeah I figured it would be “pron” or something even more perverted. You forgot the camel vids though…
That is amazing! Exactly as I pictured him! How did they do that?
That was my first impression of you, Cheddar, and I haven’t changed my mind! (J/K)!
Here is a sneak peak at Part II. The production values may have suffered a bit, but considering how the first movie did, it was the only way they could make a dime.
Rogue Cheddar is prescient!

your back is thoroughly covered bub, good sarc includes truth
They’d better release a picture to nip future Osama worship in the bud. Kids in Pakistan are laughing and dancing outside the compound saying Osama is not dead. Even Cindy Sheehan said it’s a hoax.
Sammy Bin Laddie: I have my rights!
(BOOM)
SEAL: You are dead. You have the right to remain dead. If you choose to give up that right, you’ll still be dead. Do you understand these rights as I’ve explained them to you?
Sammy BL: (splash)
SEAL: Verry well.
If I didn’t believe in the integrity of the SEALs and the U.S. Navy, I’d be a “deather” too. The way the WH has handled this (changing stories, quickie burial at sea, no pictures or any kind of proof) creates too much doubt and suspicion.
No worries mate. In about 3 years Obamatoro will release Osammy’s long form death certificate. It’s just how he rolls.

As coroner I must aver I thoroughly examined him – and he’s not only merely dead, he’s really most sincerely dead.

The house inside the compound just looks like half the better homes in Puerto Rico. It looks like stucco over hollow tile construction.
I know some navy SEALs that can loosen that up!
IMHO, there’s no such thing as trivia, except when you’re talking sports.
If you ask people in a crowded room which Junior High School some ball player attended before he entered the majors, and what his principal’s name was, some schmuck will go “OOOH, OOOH, I know! I know!” and then tell you.
Have any of you seen a flock of agitated turkeys? Rage boy looks a turkey in a flock of agitated turkeys. The next time you see a mob of Islamists, see if they remind you of that flock of agitated turkeys.
When you look at how the other 80% live in that part of the world, that is a mansion.

I am quite confused as to why the administration would have even mentioned that they recovered any additional information in any form. Why would they specifically mention they recovered laptops and hard drives, etc.? It would have made a great deal more sense to say nothing about this as once they KNOW we have recovered certain types of intel they can begin to implement changes to reduce the potential damage. Better to keep them guessing than to tell them what we may have found.
We may have pre-compromised future operations by telling them what we found.
I just don’t get it.

Well, I see we are making progress. No open links the the kos or huffpo.
Insults and lies, yes, but at least your focus is now on this site.
We’ll make a constitutional conservative of you yet.
I agree with WarEagle82, why does anyone outside the administration and the military know that we snuffed (meaning Seal Team 6)OBL. Put him on ice and use the intel in his lair to orchestrate multiple hits on his network around the world. Then defrost him for the press conference with all his iced buddies.Tactically stupid and politically stupid.
