OSAMA BIN LADEN PROOF DENIED

From the beginning of the reports about the brave, dangerous and extremely successful mission performed by the Navy Seals in killing Osama bin Laden, The White House has been building up Barack Obama as a brilliant strategist for over ruling military commanders who wanted to take out the compound with a missile strike or a bombing run and choosing rather to send in the Navy Seals in order to have the body of OBL as proof the we had actually killed him.

Now I do not doubt that this mission took place nor do I doubt that our best and bravest performed magnificently and killed bin Laded. I also believe that OBL was brought to the USS Carl Vinson and dropped over board making bin Laden fish bait. But to deny our citizens and a very skeptical world the evidence that all of this did take place and bin Laden is dead is beyond comprehension.

If the entire purpose for sending in and risking the lives of Americas best and bravest was to have absolute proof that bin Laden was dead and then deny the release of that proof using the excuse that releasing pictures, etc. would inflame the situation is not only ridiculous but creates a firestorm of denial especially by those who supported bin Laden that we killed him and the entire mission was not a farce or that who we killed was NOT bin Laden.

If gathering proof had no intention of presenting that proof then why risk the lives of our Navy Seals? Why not use a missile or bomb and send in a team of investigators later to sift through the remains and find a DNA match which is nothing different than what we have been told exists and has been released to the public now?

Releasing the pictures will not inflame those who followed bin Laden any more than the knowledge that we killed him. Releasing the proof denies their ability to create a mythical figure who can be used to recruit and expand Al Qaeda influence pretending he is still alive and living the life of a recluse in some hidden location. It would not surprise me if using advanced filming techniques that a video of bin Laded is released in the near future claiming he is still alive.

To deny the release of the proof to our country and a world who already have little or no trust in Obama or his administration does,in my opinion,fan the flames of Jihad and conspiracy much more than showing without a doubt that we did kill Osama bin Laden and we had the body as the absolute proof of his death.
