So, no Osama but Gadhafi?!

[Xno Kappa]

I'm pretty shocked too that it was somehow easier too keep a group of navy seals/the defense department from releasing a picture than it was a bunch of random libiyans...

/thread

Move along now people.

EDIT: Thread sounds like a dumbass talking point fox news would bring up lol.

[Judai]

Let's see how hard this is to understand;

US kills Osama.
US Government DOES NOT RELEASE PICTURES to the media.
Media has nothing to show but talks about it non-stop.

Libya kills Gadhafi.
Libya RELEASES PICTURES to the media.
Media airs pictures and talks about it non-stop.

Hopefully you feel better using all caps. My point, however, isn't how it happens but rather why. It makes me curious as to why they didn't want to release the pictures of Bin Laden. I love that the anonymity of the internet allows people to verbally go for broke over something that means almost nothing.

[Xno Kappa]

Are you for real? lol

[Silenka]

Probably been said in many forms already, but the US parading around pictures of Osama's body and guffawing to itself about what a good job the army did is really not the best way to avoid engendering revenge plots and needlessly incensing the people who hate the US.

yeah, releasing osama pictures would not be in our best interest, it would just breed resentment from those who mean to hurt us. foreign nation takes care of their own problems and releases pictures. no harm to them from doing so really

Who cares, what are they going to do? We occupy all their countries in one way or the other + have all the 'good' dictators on our side. There is no evidence in our culture (not just political) for that kind of restraint.

I'm glad you took the time to survey everyone in caves to make sure they didn't care. I'm sure you're well versed in the mentality of these kind of individuals. What with google telling you and all.

Osama is dead, Al Qaeda confirmed it, absolutely no benefit is to be gained by releasing the pictures. End of story.

EDIT: lol

Wha?

Isn't 'who cares' a common idiom? I wouldn't know being from the foreign land of Ohio. You should GOOGLE it though.

I'm sure those people care. My point is that WE don't care, derp.

[Dimmauk]

What is this thread about? Conspiracy? Butt hurt over pics? WTF is this shit?

[Egon]

Sounds like someone wants to start a conspiracy theory. Gonna have to take Obama's side on this one. Yes, Osama is dead.

[Anton]

Dude, isn't this a bit late for Osama conspiracies? Considering the dude isn't releasing home vidyas anymore?

Did anyone actually see Tupac get shot? I certainly didn't. And yet, Tupac keeps releasing albums. My brain has drawn the connection, I felt I'd share it with BG

So I assume you have an alternative theory as to why dead Osama pics weren't released, since the obvious answer is clearly false to you?

I don't think the guy is alive. I just don't think we give a shit about the possible blowback since our wars and occupation make this a drop in the ocean, no pun intended.

It's a socialist conspiracy propagated by the Jewish banksters and Barack Hussein Obama to repair the nation's fractured global image so that they can unconstitutionally siphon more oil from the Middle East in exchange for worthless pieces of fiat currency. The greedy corporations, run by Hitler, will lobby for a flat tax on the American people so the money can be set aside for the First Holocaust (the first alleged Holocaust never happened so this one is for serious). After the rapture, the aliens will abduct everyone left behind and bring them back in time to Teegeack, where Xenu will stack them in volcanoes and destroy them with lethal nuclear power plants. Unfortunately, before the power plants can explode, global warming will kick in and melt the global ice caps, turning the world as we know it into Atlantis.
