Are Americans Really Buying Osama bin Laden Was Killed?

Photos are popping up proving images are fake. News agencies can't seem to get their stories straight. Heck, even CNN stated that they allegedly gave Osama bin Laden a 1 hour service, wrapped him in a white sheet before tossing him overboard out of respect for his religion.

So, I'd like to hear what you've heard and I'd like to know if YOU are buying this whole thing. The Donald Trump name has created quite a stir, forcing Obama to produce an alleged birth certificate many are still challenging. Is this a ploy to take attention away from from Obama?

So, lets hear what you have to say. Are you a believer, or not?

From CNN: "The disposal of -- the burial of bin Laden's remains was done in strict conformance with Islamic precepts and practices. It was prepared in accordance with the Islamic requirements,"

"We early on made provisions for that type of burial and we wanted to make sure that it was going to be done, again, in strictest conformance."

The religious rites were conducted on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson in the Arabian Sea, with the ceremony starting at 1:10 a.m. and finishing at 2:10 a.m. ET, according to a senior Defense official.

"The body was washed and placed in a white sheet. A military official read prepared remarks, which were then translated into Arabic by a native speaker, The body of Osama bin Laden was placed on a flat board, which was then tipped up, and allowed to slide into the sea," the official said.

I want to believe but this administration has not given me any reason to think they are honest. Too many lies.

The whole bit of wrapping him up out of respect for his religion is hypocritical at best and being a cynic it points the finger even more at deceit.

I'll keep an open mind while sorting through the news stories and see how I feel in a week or so. Keep the post up Joe as I for one will be interested in what others post and link to.

The BS meter is off the hook here! I WISH that what we have been told was/is the truth, but as Joe says, there is some inconsistency to this matter. I need real proof, not just someone stating it is so....

look closly at the center photo. the nose and cheek bone structure is not the same as the first and last photo. the brows and forehead look about the same. the hair looks about the same. something is odd here.
as far as this government is concerned i don't have an ounce of trust in them.....

And I have officially lost all respect. Are you really going to jump on this? Next thing you know that idiot Trump will be asking for death certificates.

This is dumber than the Birther conspiracy but luckily not quite as dumb as the 9/11 inside job conspiracy.

anonymous 8:16, like it or not, MOST Americans don't seem to be buying it.

Obama didn't freely offer his alleged birth cirtificate. It took millions of dollars, a multitude of challenges and then, God Forbid Donald Trump challenge him as well and everyone seems to forget all of the politicians and citizens who challenged him as well, he finally delivered a supposed birth cirtificate.

NOW, it has been reported by ALL media that the US HAS PHOTOS and are waiting to decide if they'll release them of Osama bin Laden. SOUND FAMILIAR??????

This is America, where we have the right to challenge such matters. Yeah, everyone is crazy to not believe what they're being told.

They showed pics of Saddam and sons dead, You saw it was them. This guy has terrorized the US and its people far worse, and there is not a real proof picture? We even observed his religion? Come on here, We are all stupid to believe this is true, Just a ploy to get re-elected I hear!
After so many peoples lives were touched by 911, HOW can the gov even do this for real?
Gotta be a relection thingy
Anyway I hope that crazy fool is dead!
Thaks to GOD screw Obama

Joe, Most Americans are buying it, as evidenced by celebrations all over the country. I am no Obama fan, but anyone who pulls the crap you are pulling is either fishing for hits or is really off their rocker.

8:10 - This is a prime example of Adobe Photoshop at work. They took the cheekline down from the Osama pic and above the cheekline from the center pic and combined them. If you look at the 3rd pic, in the middle of the bridge, they intentionall blurred the pic so the seam could not be seen. In addition, whoever did the cropping of the Osama pic accidentally cut off the lower section of his earlobe. If you blow the 3rd picture up, you will also show pixelation differences which mean that they are 2 different photos. And yes, I personally use PhotoShop and am a graphic designer.

Joseph Albero said...

Brett, get a life Dude.

First of all, I don't need hits, I alfready have more than anyone out there.

Secondly, look at the comments. You seem to be the minority here.

I simply challenged the situation, now I'm off my rocker? This is America, right?????

I believe Osama is dead and I also believe Obama is a Kenyan, not a US citizen. I don't think the SEALS/Spec Ops vets would put up with a hoax. I wish they'd draped him in a barka (or whatever they're called) and dumped him as he was to the sharks after chumming up the water. And took a video of all of it for a movie coming this summer near you. I'm sorry but he did not deserve the muslim washing, etc. Maybe Obama said the prayers and gave him a kiss too. Obama needs to shut up and give the intelligence & soldiers Kudos. He's such a joke!! You did hear Obama's wife changed her status on facebook? She's now single.

I find it odd that the most wanted man in the world would be given burial rights when his victims around the world were not. He should have been wrapped in bacon and left for the insects in the desert.

Anonymous said...

No Joe....I believe he is dead but I believe it happened some time ago. I belive that Obama saved this situation in order to use it as political capital should he need it. Then Trump beat his a$$ with the birth certificate thing and forced him into a corner. He had to either admit he was not a citizen or produce what everyone belived was a real birth certificate. He needed to use the political capital to divert attention from the birth certificate thing and gain some approval. Hopefully everyone will recognize it for what it is. Now he will say that he will bring everyone home because we have achieved our objective of capturing or killing Bin Laden. This will bring his approval rating as everyone forgets about the economy crashing as it continues it's downward spiral. But waver not folks. Keep your eyes open. Missouri is in dire straits as the government prepares to flood 130,000 acres by blowing up 2 miles of a levee system. But no one is watching.

At least have some respect for soldier who risked their lives before you publish this nonsense. Put politics aside and enjoy a day without stirring the BS

I may be way off base but I'm wondering if it wasn't Gaddafi who didn't supply the US with the intelligence of Bin Laden's whereabouts. He hated him as much as we did and has blamed him for the recent unrest in Libya.

The scumbag had released a video within a week every time he was reported to be either sick or "surronded". If a week goes by and there is no word from the loser, he is dead. I can understand why there is little or no trust for this (or most) administrations, but seriously people, enough with all the conspiracy theories.... and for the record, I am most definately no Obama fan..

I think the troops should have brought him back alive and hung him at the world trade center until be died and went to HELL.

The majority of America is buying it! He is right about all the celebrations!! People want to belive

Anonymous said...

Exactly what I thought when I heard the news-a diversion from the birth certificate issue. Whether or not they really got him will never be proven because they "disposed of the body in accordance with islamic tradition". If they did kill him, that is wonderful, but the timing is suspicious. It should and could have been done years ago. The regime must be sweating about something because they played their ace in the hole.

thank you 8:55. that was my point. i know the picture was wasn't right but i didn't know the "ins and outs" on how to do it.

Anonymous said...

I never got excited when the "news" of his death came about, because I don't buy it. Then the reports are so all over the place of when it happened and how it happened. One station said Osama's (reported as Usama) wife when asked if that was Osama simply said yes. If they were laying in bed together like is reported why would they ask her and not ask Laden directly? In every video or photo of Osama there is a small army of men carrying weapons to protect the bunghole yet there was no shoot out or resistance during the "operation"...doesn't make sense. None of it makes sense. I told my husband last night that I don't believe it. Obama cannot in his right mind think he is going to be reelected and I wouldn't doubt if his muslim loving self isn't putting Osama up somewhere and will work in cahoots to attack America again....I don't trust the lying cheating stealing crook.
I wouldn't trust a rabid dog with my baby, I wouldn't trust a thief with my valuables, I wouldn't trust a rapist with my children and I don't trust Obama with my future.

And why should I believe that they photoshopped the middle photo to be the Osama photo on the right?

For all I know, the photo on the right is untouched and the middle photo is some servant photoshopped to look dead so someone can make it look like they photoshopped it to be Osama.

Or maybe neither one is photoshopped and two different photos were laid side by side and I should just swallow hook, line and sinker that one was photoshopped to look like the other. Maybe the Osama was on right is real, then photoshopped to be the one in the middle.

Helllllooooo, see how stupid this argument is? You can't trust photos provided by the U.S. government, but you should believe without question photos stuck up on the internet by a variety of media sources that borrowed from each other.

More comedy from the wacko fringe. So instead of actually trying to bend, twist, and stretch the truth, why don't you guys just admit that you have an absolute hate for the president that has less to do with the man or his policies, and more to do with your own percieved failures in life.

Anonymous said...

This from a crowd that still doesn't believe the man is a citizen of the US. LOL

Anywho, don't you think that is Osama was still alive, the first thing he would do would be to put out a video to disprove the US, embarass us on the world stage, and rally his followers.

Anonymous said...

In my opinion: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American soldier, who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did. Obama just happened to be the one in office when our soldiers finally found OBL and took him out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!!

11:42 - You should believe because the middle pic was actually released over 2 years ago and is available as an open source picture. I know you probably have no idea what that means.

I think that Osama is dead, however I do not believe the propaganda we are being fed in reguards to the current circumstances. The reason propaganda works is because of the many mindless sheep that fail to think for themselves.

Obama is a liar and he has proven that. Remember when he promised open door healthcare bill meetings in his campaign? Remember the first thing he did was to lock the media out of all the meetings on the healthcare bill? Why should we actually believe him now? I am sorry, but once you lie, all credibility is lost and your actions are subject to question.

On one news report on CNN yesterday morning it was stated this happened a week ago.

They said they were waiting the week it takes to get the DNA a results back before letting the world know it happened.

the CIA has known he was there since last August,
Obama had held off as long as possible hoping someone would tip his buddy off and he'd clear out.
so the Best Obama could do is order Osama a nice funeral.

Truth behind the Navy Seal operation said...

Thanks to George Bush the water-boarding resulted in key evidence to his location and compound
The chopper the Seals flew into the compound had mechanical problems on its approach, but they landed the chopper in his compound anyway;not knowing if they were going home. The special forces arrived to evacuate the SEAL team and blow up the problem chopper before they left; SEAL TEAM in the compound for more than 45 minutes gathering computer hardware and evidence. (Two shots were fired 7.62 rounds to kill Osama). USA all the way and great job NAVY SEALS. By the way I am not an Obama supporter and think the job he does SUCKS, but Obama did order DNA evidence to be taken to confirm the identity of Osama.

the pictures do not match up correctly. the middle picture the face structure is different, the last picture the beard is too dark. i do not believe all this went down the way it has been portrayed. i do not believe obama would ever agree to this mission, these are his people. bin laden may be dead, but not on obama's instructions.

You have to love the eastern shore. Official photos have not even been released yet. You people make me feel like Einstein!

lastword said...

Well I heard there was a 40 minute firefight with 20 or 40 ( i forget which) enemy.

Those pictures look like the same ones (except the middle with a short beard) that were released years ago and proven fraud, with images flipped to show left eye shot out instead of right eye as before.

The time to trust anything that comes out of governments (obama) moouth has long passed.

He signed legislation that ended the very methods that enabled us to find bin laden in the first place. Any credit due obammy is minimal. He just happened to be president at the time.

Him and that comedian made jokes and insulted the Donald to shut him up and make him look the fool to take suspicion off him. That's fine. But let's not forget how long it took him to produce a document, that is still being doubted.

At this point, I don't care if he was born in pgh in Salisbury, he is poison to this country. Trouble is, he has company in washington.

Even some on here are trying to shut Joe up. Like," He said it so it must be true. Don't question it."

Wrong attitude. Question everything. If it's the truth, it won't mind. It will still be there.

I believe the bastard is dead. The photos being circulated are not from the "scene", distributed by our government. They are composites from the media that want to sell newspapapers. Everyone can see that the pics produced are photochopped.

The U.S. "buried" bin Laden in accordance to Islam religion to minimize the tensions to the Islamic world, which we are still a target of terrorism. If we had buried the S.O.B., "They" would have made a shrine about it.

He was history anyway. It's the crazy freaking followers we have to worry about.

Every religion has its radicals... even Bible carrying whatever they call themselves. They blow up abortion clinice "In Gods Name".

Religion and Politics... Far left and Far Right... who benifits from the carnage?

Anyway... I'm happy the bastard is dead. However, he was a cancer and the cancer keeps growing. There are a dozen waiting to be the next.

Just my opinion.

I find it hard to believe, only because they never showed photo's. I agree with a comment above they bragged about Sadam. There is something just not right about this one. As far as Obama goes. My mother always taught me if u got nothing nice to say don't say nothing at all. My lips are sealed.
