Bin Laden’s Skull Blown Apart by Navy SEALs
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, May 3, 2011, 5:06 AM
Osama bin Laden was shot over the left eye and part of his skull was blown apart.
CBS reported:
Osama bin Laden was shot above his left eye and the bullet blew away part of his skull, a U.S. official says. He was also shot in the chest.
The precision kill shot was delivered by a member of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six during a pre-dawn raid Monday on bin Laden’s hideout in Pakistan.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
Photos of bin Laden’s injuries were transmitted to Washington as proof that the mission was a success.
The administration is still weighing whether to release photos of bin Laden’s corpse and video of his swift burial at sea. Officials were reluctant to inflame Islamic sentiment by showing graphic images of the body. But they were also eager to address the mythology already building in Pakistan and beyond that bin Laden was somehow still alive.
The only information about what occurred inside the compound has come from American officials, much of it provided under condition of anonymity.
The Obama administration may release pictures today.
The White House wants to appease Muslims by releasing video of his funeral.

We are killing people we don’t want to offend?
Smart diplomacy.

You know, we see JFK’s skull blown apart by that Marxist idiot every other day depending on what channel your watching.
I don’t want just the pictures, I would love to see the helmet cams of this bozo and the moment his life ended in technicolor.
Calamity Jane commented:
I wonder what General “Blackjack” Pershing would have done?
Muffin commented:
I don’t want to see anything except Obama out of office. Everything he does and says exacerbates our situation. Now that Osama is gone and citizens feel like at least we got something of value out of this expensive, awful president, let’s CUT OUR LOSSES and move on.

All this build up to releasing photos is very suspicious, as is everything Obowma lies about.
Militant Conservative commented:
Obama succeeded due to adult policies left in place from the prior administration.
When successful policies have positive results the proper people need to get the credit.
Obama’s credit is not stopping rendition, waterboarding,Gitmo. You know adult policies.
Obama is trying to get a bump in the polls, the economy sucks, unemployment is still bad and gas prices are high. Give me a break, Obama is a joke.

nadadhimmi commented:
White House is now changing stories. It was or wasn’t Osama’s wife that was or wasn’t killed while she was or wasn’t being used as a human shield. Osama did or didn’t fire on the Seals.The chopper was or wasn’t shot down. Now Osama was buried at Sea, no body is available for autopsy or post mortem examination. I will assure you, the body will be “unrecognizable”. Obama’s word will be the only proof offered. Think about that: Only a print out of no longer existent DNA and Obama’s word will be required as proof. If this was any other President, the body would be available for confirmation of ID. We are being asked to believe a bigger public liar than Richard Nixon.

justasimplepatriot commented:
Obama is milking this for all it is worth. When you have one accomplishment in a full term of abject failure, he has no choice.
It is ironic that the intel, but not surprising, that made this possible came from Bush.
MAJ Mike commented:
Skull blown apart?
Guess we couldn’t display OBL’s head on a pike like I wanted. Damn. so many disappointments.
Somewhat Reasonable Voice commented:
Jim,
The body part we use to see is spelled “eye”.
I don’t want to see any body parts of this or any other violent death. He is dead, justice has been served, that is enough.
Midwestengr commented:
GO ahead! Release the photo, that way EVERY time I fry me up some bacon, I can use a printout of that picture right underneath my paper towel to help soak up the bacon grease.
Militant Conservative commented:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_long_does_it_take_for_DNA_test
minimum two weeks to 30 days for DNA testing.
Either the regime is lying about having the results or lying about when Osama was killed.
This regime is lying about something, WHY?????

Warthog commented:
As has been stated, Obama is drawing this out. Don’t worry, though, the second his polls start to dip again (and they will, oh they will) he’ll release another nugget of info. The funeral video (I can’t wait for the U-Tube parodies), the still shots of Osama bleeding all over the nice rug (my new computer desktop), the video from SEAL helmit cams (Call of Duty – special edition: Get Osama). It will all slowly come out in the hopes he can stay on a glide-slope to a safe re-election landing.
Just to run this metaphore into the ground, he will crash and burn. He’s got three engines on fire and the fourth is pouring smoke. One favorable tail wind not be enough to save.
(And he only missed the landing strip by five miles…)
Thingamajig commented:
#9 yep, the ungracious f’k will try to milk this thing in his usual shameful fashion; but believe me when I say that if he plays politics with something so intrinsically apolitical to try and be re-elected, even the sheeple will see right through that and hate him for it.
Dave-O commented:
President zippy reportedly knew of the existence of Obama’s hideout since August of last year – yet dithered continually over what to do about it. Rather than simply hit it with a Predator missile or other ordnance – he risked the lives of some 30 of America’s most elite fighting forces to reduce collateral damage and in order to appease the neighbors. Now he can’t decide what to do with the photos and videos that he and his security team get to watch by themselves. Why? Again, for fear of offending Mooselimb feelings! WTF? If any mooselimbs are offended by pictures of a very dead OBL, then those are not the mooselimbs we need to be appeasing. The so-called “moderate” mooselimbs – of which there are reportedly millions yet they continue to live and exist in total anonymity – ought to be relieved that this man who Urkel constantly is saying has “hijacked” their religion is finally dead and gone.
we are being fed a line of BS like no other from this Administration. What was a precise surgical strike by our military elite has been turned into a political disaster by the Master of Disaster himself. The White House is quickly turning this episode into SNAFU.

They have to lie. If they told the whole truth and nothing but the truth just once, they’d lose every supporter they have on the left.
Dave-O commented:
#16 – OSama’s hideout – sorry.

I thought they were watching this live? You mean they didn’t see what was happening?
I want to see that live feed.
Carlos commented:
Do not believe anything that emits from the fetid mouth of barry hussein…for everything is a LIE.
Where are the photos of Osama? Oh, right, they could easily be photoshopped.
I want to hear from one of the Seal team.
Big coincidence…we just happen to nail Osama during barky’s kerfuffle with The Donald.
Something really, really stinks about this.
Andreas K. commented:
Damn it!
I wanted his skull as paper weight!
Carlos, the strike team can’t just go on the air and say “Hello America, we did it”.
The DNA test is no issue. This sample didn’t go to your average crime lab or “who’s your daddy” clinic. This was a top priority sample. That testing can be done within hours. Waiting times for DNA tests are usually so long because labs don’t just deal with one sample. They deal with hundreds.
As for this coming because of Donald T Rump… Give me a break. Donald is irrelevant. He’s already out of momentum. The guy will sceam about wanting to see Obama’s phone bill from 20 years ago next. It doesn’t take Osama to distract away from Trump. All it takes for that is waiting 20 minutes.
You’re all getting your panties into a twist over a guy who was essentially Corporal Himmelstoss. Osama was not Hitler, he wasn’t even Heydrich. He was just one ring leader.
As I was saying, this isn’t nearly as tectonic as Lepanto or Vienna. But it’s a start into the right direction.
We need to kill every jihadi. Period.
It’s 5+ billion “infidels” vs 1.5+ billion mohammedans
It’s us against islam and this has been going for roughly 1,400 years.
Insufficiently Sensitive commented:
Funeral photos as a peace offering? That’s not appeasment, it’s another “I won”.
DMartyr commented:
Poor virgins. Not only will they be subjected to perpetual rape, they’ll have to look at his blown away skull.
It must suck being a virgin in Islamic paradise.
Mitch Rapp commented:
I’d rather see him buried with an arm load of Bacon!
Terry Gain commented:
Releasing a photo of a head which has been blown apart is challenging and will require Photoshop expertise, however this is a skill which the Obama administration is developing.
dwd commented:
Release the photo with a black box covering the gaping wound but leaving the rest of the face visible… if people want to see the uncensored version, they can click to remove the black box. That’s possible with webpages, and there’s no way the uncensored photo would get printed in a newspaper.
As for the funeral video, that’s insanity. DON’T RELEASE IT. There will be millions of Muslims who will watch it frame-by-frame looking for a reason to get pissed off and go on a killing and bombing spree, and Obama wants to give them 40 minutes to search through. Craziness.
jorgen commented:
Hunter S. Thompson about Nixon’s funeral as inspiration to how Osama should have been buried:
“If the right people had been in charge of Nixon’s funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin.”

Reg commented:
Do muslims consider Osama bin Laden to be one of them? I thought they opposed what he was doing? I don’t understand any concern for Osama’s religious rights in this context. To treat him like every other muslim is to label all of them the same. What am I missing here?
By the way, it may not be a compliment if you get an invitation to the White House. Don’t be surprised if they’re just collecting DNA samples.

re: [Do muslims consider Osama bin Laden to be one of them?]
the majority do not..
American Muslim organization applauds US
effort to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice
["This evening's announcement by President Obama that the United States had carried out an operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan that resulted in the death of Osama Bin Laden is a victory for the United States of America against the face of Islamist terror and the man who perpetrated war crimes against our nation on September 11, 2001. Most importantly this will allow the American people and especially the 9/11 families to begin to get a degree of closure.
This operation is a testament to the dedication and steadfastness of the United States military, our homeland security, and intelligence community. There is no finer force than the men and women of the United States military who defend and secure our freedom every day.
The death of Osama Bin Laden is significant because it closes a chapter in our war against Islamist extremists. But make no mistake this war is far from over. Bin Laden was but one head on the Hydra that is the Islamist movement. It is our hope that Bin Laden's death will serve as a means to transition this war from a reactionary approach to quell violence to a proactive war of ideas against the ideology that breeds the extremism.
We will not be free of terror until we openly confront the ideology of political Islam which is the underlying fuel for the militant Islamism of groups like Al Qaeda. To deliver true national security we must demonstrate the same dedication and steadfastness in creating a liberty narrative within the Muslim conscience as we did in hunting Bin Laden."]
much more here..
but as with everything in the US, the minority
seems to get all the “positive” /s/ attention..

The bugger never felt a thing, but all those people beheaded by muslims sure did. Osama was fortunate his end came so quickly.
AuntieMadder commented:

If the Islamic sentiment to which this refers is the Islamic sentiment that danced in the streets on 9/11, women screeching “leeleeeleeeleeeleee” into the cameras – and I’m sure that is the Islamic sentiment they’re talking about because the so-called Moderate Muslims weren’t represented by bin Laden, who was only making their Religion of Peace look bad – then I say:
F@ck that and f@ck them. After witnessing, via live news feeds, a commercial jet crash nose first into the North tower of WTC as the south tower was already burning; the falling, live bodies of men and women who chose that death over being burnt to death; the collapse of the towers and the shroud of ash over New York City they caused; the hole in the ground of that field in Pennsylvania; the hole in the Pentagon, I was stunned and sad. When I saw the news clips of the street parties these images inspired in the Islamic world, my sentiments were inflamed.
F@ck that and f@ck them.

unfortunately for US/West & majority of Muslims, their
minority is quite a majority in comparison to others..

Rachelle commented:
The only thing I regret about his death was that we can’t torture him.
The only thing I regret about his funeral is that his body should have been fed to pigs.
Stuart commented:
Skull blown apart? Yes thats pretty par for the course with head shots. Having seen more than one during my Viet Nam days, I can assure you that a head shot is a good deal uglier than the gore served up to the public via Hollywood SFX. That said, I can’t get at all worked up about it.
The head shot was a good deal quicker than a flaming dive off of a 110 story building. Bin Laden was trash. So SKROOOem.
Obama commented:
I am wish I could have been the guy that shot him. I don’t get why people still are thinking that it is a fake. If we lied about this our country would be screwed. People need to think before they say that it is a fake. Say we did fake it our Allies that we have right now would get pissed off at us if we were lying about killing Osama. I don’t agree though on the whole burial at sea. We should have just thrown him in the ocean or brought him back to the U.S. I find it cool how all the sports in the United States chanted USA sunday night and monday night. It shows how patriotic our country can be.

@ #36 Stuart: “The head shot was a good deal quicker than a flaming dive off of a 110 story building. Bin Laden was trash. ”
No doubt. If this is true, then bin Laden got off easy: almost a decade more of life and a quick death. I’d say it was a painless death but it probably hurt like hell…for about a second.
AuntieMadder commented:
@ #38 – Barky hasn’t shrunk yet from angering our allies. However, if, by “allies,” you’re still referring to the ME Islamic nations, get this through your thick skull: It doesn’t matter what we do or don’t do. They hate us and want us dead. Always have. Always will.
ausonius commented:
That is the end result of a close quarter, high-energy rifle round upon entering the cranial vault.
Obama commented:
@#40 – You seriously don’t know how to read. Here is the definition of allies “allies are people, groups, or nations that have joined together in an association for mutual benefit or to achieve some common purpose, whether or not explicit agreement has been worked out between them. When the term is used in the context of war or armed struggle, such associations may also be called Allied Powers”. That means Great Britian, France etc. Not Islamic countries. You seriously need to read what I say and think about it before you write back. Because everytime I say allies you always talk about the Islamic countries. READ IT RIGHT!!!
