That was my first thought... "what... is there an election coming up or some news they are looking to drown out, wag the dog style".. After 10 years I figured that he was either an asset or they were keeping him alive just to have a boogey-man/poster child to keep selling those outrageous military budgets to the American people..
And I don't buy the "burial at sea" story either.. Odds are that they cut him into little pieces for some type of satanic ritual, disected his brain, and sent the skull to Yale to sit next to Geronimo's..
Personally I respected Osama.. He had a very peaceful demeanor and look, which I have found to be the case with true holy men. If what they say is true about him, he was living a life dedicated to serving God.. Might seem like a distorted view of what that means to you and me, but serving God none the less.. He walked away from a family fortune to go live in a cave, and put his life on the line fighting for what he believed was right. That type of sacrafice to live according to one's personal values is admirable.
Compare that to 43, who used his daddy's connections to shirk military duty, was a drunk and cokehead, that made his money by raising taxes to build a private baseball stadium with public money, whilst professing free market capitalism, started a war with falsified intelligence for personal reasons... a war that caused the death of near 1 million civilians, started a international policy of pre-emptive war, instituted torture as a tool of the state, etc etc.. Osama is a saint compared to that!

It's good to see that our military forces are highly trained and are highly capable of doing their job efficiently. For the men and women of the armed forces I saw job well done and keep up the good work. For Obama it's a slight of hand. Here we got Bin Laden... look at this while I steal every penny from you in taxes and do nothing ot help with the fuel prices.
