GET OVER THE POLITICAL PC WITH OSAMA BIN LADEN DEATH

The killing of Osama bin Laden was a victory for our country. While strategically it will have virtually no affect in the war on terrorism other than a psychological affect with those who followed bin Laden, his death marks the end of a search for the an evil whose demise was well deserved and whose actions warranted the bullet to the head he received from our Navy Seals.

So why all of the back tracking and almost apologetic response by the wishy washy Obama administration? Many in the administration including Obama seem to have this ridiculous idea that showing the pictures of bin Laden's corpse shows a lack is sensitivity and it will stoke the fires of our enemy.

First, how much sensitivity did bin Laden show to the thousands he is responsible for killing especially those who perished on 9/11? Second anyone who will be angered by the release of the picture is ALREADY angry because we killed him. This PC run amok started with the traditional Muslim ceremony undeservedly given bin Laden when he was made fish bait off the USS Carl Vinson. Did the PC administration actually think that those who were angered by his death would change their minds because we gave him a Muslim ceremony?

Now word is coming out that the administration is considering releasing a statement of justification for killing bin Laden. GIVE ME A BREAK. Our justification for killing him took place on 9/11 and with every soldier who has fought and died defending our country from bin Laden and his evil minions. This apologetic attitude is not only wrong it portrays once again the weakness of Obama and those who work in his ridiculously PC administration.

Bin Laden's corpse should have been shown to the world within hours of his death and several methods of verification should have taken place even if it involved the Brits and other allies who would increase the credibility of a positive ID of the body. The burial at sea was a smart idea since it prevents any possibility of a shrine or pilgrimage spot but he should have been tossed like a sack of Navy potato peelings rather than a 40 minute ceremony he did not deserve and NOT within 24 hours.

Now the hesitation of releasing any pictures just adds fuel to the fire that we did not get bin Laden. Additionally this too shows a weakness because of the fear of retribution being expressed if pictures are released. Anyone who plans retribution for bin Laden's death is already planning and pictures will not stop them or change their minds whether released or not. So release the pictures and quit acting like scared little children.

As far as the sensitivity, who cares! Again bin Laden and his followers have shown no sensitivity to those they have killed and don't forget how they rejoiced and celebrated after the Towers fell. Every moment that the pictures are held actually stokes greater fires of doubt and conspiracy than any that might be stoked by our enemy if pictures are released. Tha damage in NOT releasing them is far greater than any possibly or perceived damage from showing them.

Bin Laden was an evil who deserved a violent death. We have nothing to explain nor apologize for in killing him or those who surrounded him and died as collateral damage. They knew the risks of being with the most wanted person in the world and they chose to take that risk. Bin Laden knew his day would come and he got what he deserved. Stop with the PC and release the evidence in pictures and proudly proclaim to the world without apology or hesitation that The United States of America and our elite Navy Seals eliminated the scourge of the Earth and we are glad we did.
