Nope... They can't... he's the wrong color to be approved by NeoCons.

Where are the "truthers" today? The left wing nut jobs including Rosie O who said Bush was the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks and OBL was a mere fall guy. Thankfully, Obama never got around to closing Gitmo as he promised. That's where the leads were generated. Obama stated on the campaign that he didn't want to kill OBL.
Now Obama should move onto Mideast peace? What a laugh. With who Syria? Too busy machine gunning mourners. Hamas praised OBL-maybe if they stop firing mortars into Israel a day.
Well Mr. Salami, I suggest you listen to the very Republican Zbibniew Brezinski who also stated that this a.m. on one of the news shows that his daughter hosts. You Reps nee to get on board.
When did he pull the reverse ANG? Let me take a wild guess that this show was on National Palestinian Radio. What Obama should do is approve the same treatment for Gaddafi. It's a great day but if you think this will last until next November-think again. It lasts until you pull into a gas station and bump into Obama's energy policy.
It was easy to 'keep him alive' all this time to use as a scapegoat/diversion for all those in elected positions....very very very easy.....'killing him' means NOTHING....it wouldn't matter if he was alive.....if not having a grave for pilgrims to visit means anything, it doesn't....remember JESUS? where's his grave?
yeah....let's not build the memorial and stop this crap now....
we were TOLD he was our enemy by something that mainly affected the economy/oil......were there deaths--sure....that's what humans do
muslim custom IS NOT burial at sea unless on a ship.....so who's ship was he stuck on?
our choices for our leaders:
1. they are inept 2. liars/cheats
so,,,,do we all feel safer now?
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
they never had to 'kill' him.....everyone was lining up nicely for their CT scans and feel-ups.....and getting used to it all.....the problem is that with multiple quick media the stories have to change quicker to keep them shaded....especially for the next gen.....who are all being taught the commune way.....
feel safe and free yet?
never trust anyone over 30 because they want your underwear too.
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

Box A Rox Because people question certain things does not make them right wing Nut Doubters. Allthough Donald Trump would fit that category : )
The events of the past week do leave me with questions. We or Nato bomb Ghadaffi's son's home and kill his youngest son and grandchildren. Ghadaffi and wife are in the home. I just thought we meaning the United States are not supposed to assassinate any leader without a trial?
And with Bin Laden, the DNA test done in less than 24 hours and verified ? Then how come when someone is murdered in the US it sometimes takes weeks to get DNA results? I know dental records can be done right away.
And this :
By Jim Garamone, American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Osama bin Laden received a Muslim ceremony as he was buried at sea, a senior defense official said in Washington, D.C., May 2.
The religious rites were performed aboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) in the North Arabian Sea and occurred within 24 hours of the terrorist leader's death, said the official.
"Preparations for at-sea [burial] began at 1:10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time and were completed at 2 a.m.," said the official.
The burial followed traditional Muslim burial customs, and bin Laden's body was washed and placed in a white sheet, said the official.
"The body was placed in a weighted bag. A military officer read prepared religious remarks, which were translated into Arabic by a native speaker," the official added.
Afterward, bin Laden's body was placed onto a flat board, which was then elevated upward on one side and the body slid off into the sea.
The deceased terrorist was buried at sea because no country would accept bin Laden's remains, a senior defense official said.
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Defense Department officials are sure it was the body of bin Laden. CIA specialists compared photos of the body with known photos of bin Laden and said with 95-percent certainty it was the terrorist leader, a senior intelligence official said.
In addition, bin Laden's wife identified the al-Qaida leader by name while the strike team was still in the compound, said the intelligence official.
CIA and other specialists in the intelligence community "performed the initial DNA analysis matching a virtually 100-percent DNA match of the body against the DNA of several of bin Laden's family members," the official added.
Why in the hel* would they give the person who is responsible for 9/11 religious rites when he is responsible for thousands of US civilian and military deaths?
I'm not questioning that he is dead, I just wonder how this all could occur in 24 hrs.
Brezinski was on Morning Joe, a Rep show. I saw him too. He did state now was the time to work on the Palestinian/Israeli issue. That is correct. I am very unhappy with the killing of Gaddafi's grandchildren. Can't convince me that that is ok.
I also think the Brits were given this information Friday night--and that is why the royal couple postponed their honeymoon. I am sure they were told to stay put. Glad the US didn't do this operation Friday--would have ruined the wedding coverage.

Do you remember the American contractors who were killed in Iraq, their bodies burned and then hung from a bridge??? We could have done similar things to BinLaden... and it would have accomplished nothing except to prove that we are as dumb as they are.
The smart thing to do is to show Muslims that we respect all religions and that we are at war with terrorists... not at war with Muslims.
A minor thing like respecting Muslim burial rights could pay off in a large way down the road.

24 hours??? The report I heard on MSNBC this morning was the raid took place Sunday at 3:30pm EST and Obama's press conference was Sunday at 10:30pm EST. The compound was invaded, Bin Laden was killed, his identity was verified by DNA, and he was buried at sea all in 7 hours. And during the seven hours, the Obama Admin called every country on earth to see if they would provide a place of burial.

Every Country on Earth??? I doubt the list of possible countries numbered more than 5 or 6.

Says a lot if muslims actually give a crap what is done with Osama's body, here is a guy that had his hand in thousands of deaths including muslims. Are we to believe peaceful muslims consider Osama worthy of a respectful burial? Not that it matters any ways many are already bitching that we didn't do it right, pretty much if he didn't die on a ship it isn't respectful to bury him at sea. It is a no win situation with these people, more proof as why we should stay out of their countries and have nothing to do with them.

How do you say such contradictory things? If he is just a terrorist, why would you respect a Muslim religious tradition? Wouldn't that just reaffirm that terrorists are Muslims? I think by treating him like a homicidal maniac mass murderer and removing any religious aspect and lore would have separated him from being "A Muslim Terrorist". The fact that they respected his religion reminds the world that Muslims are the terrorists.
