Cost of a helicopter gunship raid - millions of dollars

Cost to train Navy Seal personnel that participated - billions of dollars

Cost of the 7.62 round of ammunition that killed Osama bin Laden - PRICELESS

I hope this is some bizarre attempt to be tongue-in-cheek. Otherwise, get your head checked.

Osama Bin Laden Body Headed for Burial at Sea, Officials Say

Quote:
Now that bin Laden has been killed and his body has been positively identified, what is to be done with his remains?

U.S. officials tell me the last thing they want is for his burial place to become a terrorist shrine.

To avoid that, an informed source tells me, the intention is the bury his body at sea -- leaving no definitive location for the final resting place of his body.

A senior administration official tells my colleague Jake Tapper this about the body: "We are ensuring it is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition. It's something we take seriously and therefore it's being handled in an appropriate manner.‬"

Under Islamic tradition, ABC's Zunaira Zaki reports, the body would be washed by Muslim men and buried as soon as possible, usually by the next prayer (Muslims pray five times a day), although there may be delays under certain circumstances (for autopsies, for example). The body is usually buried in a simple white sheet -- whether buried in the ground, or at sea.

Buried at sea...really? I call bullshit. I want to see a picture of this guy we spent thousands of American lives and trillions of dollars of dollars to catch. A DNA sample sounds like a black-op to me Mr. X.

I guess they should have let him go so we wouldn't provoke an attack? I thought some of your previous posts were pretty bizarre, but this one goes to the top of the list for foolishness.

I was always a bit queasy about playing in the annual death pool, but am pleased I had Bin Laden on my list for 2011.

BTW can we change Nitti's screen name to "Nutti?"

Great vibe in the city this morning. I thought that after so many years people would be looking at this as sort of anti-climactic, but I was wrong. New Yorkers (and all Americans, I want to believe) seem to be very proud this morning, without getting too jingoistic about the whole thing. It's a nice balance.

PB,

That "vibe" is echoing here in California as well (and everywhere in the U.S.). Our local radio station is taking calls on the best celebratory song to play. Everyone is upbeat. smile

I know info is still coming out and I don't know where they got this particular tidbit but the radio announcer said the OBL was given an opportunity to surrender but didn't. Does that mean, I wonder, he pulled a gun and they shot or what? confused Just wondering how it went down.

I guess "legally" under normal circumstances, you'd get an chance to surrender but for some reason I just picture them going into it with guns blazing.

I want to celebrate, but his death doesn't heal any wounds. The wounds are too deep. There is no justice for what he did, but this is what we have. It's the closest thing there is.

I pray that this may bring some comfort to the families of those lost that wretched day. God bless their souls, and let's not forget the courage of the first responders, especially those that are suffering the ill effects to this day.

Nice to hear, Tis.

I'm glad he's dead, but part of me wanted to see the rat bastard taken alive and jailed for life on American soil, where he would be forced to watch our news media every day, depicting a way of life that he loathed and envied so much he killed over three thousand people for.

Let's just hope and pray that we don't get complacent enough to believe that no one's waiting in the wings to take his place, because someone most certainly is.
