:sarcasm:

Shouldn't we piss them off just a little more by showing them the picture of Usama Bin Laden with a hole in his head?

After all, what is more important? That I can see the gruesome photo or that we incite someone in the Middle East to do something deadly toward a lot of people? Can't they get their priorities straight and let us see the photo?

Who cares what they are feeling in the Middle East?

Seriously, they're not kidding this time.

For real.

4. My only concern, really, is transparency
I'm not really in favor of showing the photos for the sake of showing them, or for the conspiracy nutjobs, or for Ann Coulter's bloodlust (she was on Fox saying "we paid for them, we should get to see them!) but I'm kind of a purist in the sense that there has to be a very good reason for anything classified to be classified.

The DNA test is enough. Maybe we shouldn't have taken photos.

5. Yes, let`s show them
And remind them that if they cross America, THIS is what they`ll get. Their brains splattered across the room.

They`re barbarians and only understand violence, right?

Are you for real?

6. And all is well with the world.
As long as they are not burning flags with the Made In The USA label that is.

10. I've read your posts here for ten years, and this one I don't understand.
But you've never responded to a single post of mine, either.

This is strange.

13. I was being facetious...
Edited on Fri May-06-11 08:21 PM by kentuck
I think they should show the photo but right now may not be the right time? Maybe the person that said they only understand violence so maybe we should show it to them is right?

I think they have the photo. Unlike some birthers who still did not believe the birth certificate was real even after it was shown, I'm sure there will be many that will say the photo is fake after it is shown? You either believe it or not. But I think it will be shown in due time. Just not right now when emotions are so high. It would not be wise, in my opinion.

14. So?
They do that on a regular basis. Piss them off more: laugh at them. I love laughing at angry jerks.

15. You may be right?
I think this is a time for cooler heads to prevail.

As the President said, there is no need to spike the football.

19. I think the visit to Fort Campbell today, televised worldwide, accompanied by the VP
Was tantamount to spiking the football.

I'm ready for it all to be over.

18. That would freak out the teabaggers so much the republicans would want
a full force ground troop invasion.

20. Isn't it a little too laughably late to ask that question?
Like a photograph of some guy no one has ever met is going to do more damage than the people that got killed today.

21. Why do you think that they are so out of control that if they are offended they will kill innocents
and do you realize the statement you make when you say that?
