One of my close friends is skeptical about the news. He thinks it might be a made up scam because Obama was running behind in his reelection campaign, and this "event" will help boost him for reelection. The timing of this event was suspicious to my friend.
Tell your friend, don't think so.

You know Uncle Joe, anything Obama says is suspicious to me! Why? Because there is record after record of his lies. Now the Coolaide drinking lefties won't even stop to count. Anything their little god says is true as far as they are concerned.
Now as far as respect for the office of president I believe in it! I wish Obama did!
Obama seems to be able to bypass everybody in Washington and do as he pleases. Signing executive orders out the gazoo... sending money to Brazil to drill for oil when he won't let us drill here. Who did he ask about sending the money?
Asking everybody else to conserve, and yet he flies Airforce One across town to get a hamburger! (An exaggeration.... before you liberal-lefties start hollering.) I dare you to check out his travel expense in comparison to other presidents... if you can get him to reveal it....Remember he's the "transparent president" ha ha!
The next president will have his hands full straightening out the mess that Obama has made. He or she may really be able to "blame it on Obama"!

As difficult as it would be , I think the one thing you might have to give the President credit for is his consistent stance that we should stop focusing on Iraq. That is the one element of his approach that I whole heartedly agree with. Iraq was a distraction from the real war on terror. Pulling some out of Iraq and focusing on Afghanistan and Pakistan has paid off IMO...that's IF Osama is dead L0L
Of course, I'm always sorry to disagree, but Iraq has never been irrelevant.

Quote:
So here they come to annihilate what is left of this people and to humiliate their Muslim neighbors. Third, if the Americans' aims behind these wars are religious and economic, the aim is also to serve the Jews' petty state and divert attention from its occupation of Jerusalem and murder of Muslims there. The best proof of this is their eagerness to destroy Iraq, the strongest neighboring Arab state, and their endeavor to fragment all the states of the region such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Sudan into paper statelets and through their disunion and weakness to guarantee Israel's survival and the continuation of the brutal crusade occupation of the Peninsula.
This is as detailed an explanation as I have read! Seem to know what they are talking about. I just don't understand again what makes Obama think he has to rush the body away so quick. Who is he trying to please, the American people, or Islamic and Muslims leaders? His own actions have caused me to doubt him. And I won't go through the litany of things again! Hurry up 2012 before I go nuts!
And to save some the time and trouble to post... "Yea, maybe I'm already nuts! Who knows?" I guess Obama could run a "fast test" on me!

I'm sorry, but it should have never become such a focal point in my opinion. The war on terror (those who attacked us) has always been primarily about Al-quaeda and their strongholds in Afghanistan/Pakistan. Iraq was becoming a distraction (in addition to being basically unwinnable)

Don't you think it would cause some serious problems to keep his body around? Zealots trying to steal it or bomb areas where it might be?
And also, there's a possibility that they are just saying that they buried him at sea to prevent that very thing. (While actually keeping the body somewhere.) I would suspect them of lying about that.
