White House: 'Categorical' Decision Not to Release Bin Laden Photo

So, just because obama says bin laden is dead, we are just supposed to take his word? He is a compulsive liar, so that's really not going to work. With no pictures or video and no body how is the world supposed to know for sure?

I wouldn't doubt the word of a SEAL team member, but we won't be allowed to hear anything out of them, so we are left with taking the word of obama and his gang of thugs.

"We don't trot this stuff out as trophies..." Then what is the trip to Ground Zero going to be? It's not going to be a victory lap? Don't you think that is going to spark some outrage amongst the muslims? The difference is a picture or video of bin laden's dead carcass isn't plastering obama's stupid face all over the TV screen. It's campaign season for him, and anything that takes away from his ability to get on TV is a bad thing, in his mind.

I'm sick to death of seeing his mug. And it wouldn't matter to me if he directed the killing of every terrorist on the planet, I'm still not voting for his socialist ass...

From FoxNews

President Obama has made a "categorical" decision not to release any photos of Usama bin Laden's body, according to the White House, citing concern that doing so could inflame sentiment against Americans.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday that the president consulted his national security team and ultimately decided it would be too risky to release any images of the body. Obama also determined the administration already had proved bin Laden is dead, he said.

"It is not in our national security interest to allow those images ... to become icons to rally opinion against the United States," Carney said. "There is no question at all that Usama bin Laden is dead. He will not walk this earth again."

Carney added that the decision not to release was "a majority opinion."

The president first revealed his decision during an interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes." Reading an excerpt from the interview, Carney said the president cautioned that such images could be used to incite violence or as a propaganda tool.

"We don't trot out this stuff as trophies. ... We don't need to spike the football," Obama said, according to Carney.

The announcement follows a charged debate, inside the administration and on Capitol Hill, on whether the risk might outweigh the benefit if any images or video are released showing bin Laden after he was fatally shot by U.S. forces.

Details emerging about the image suggest that it is, as the White House claimed, "gruesome." Fox News has learned that the image shows a large, open gunshot wound on bin Laden's forehead, revealing brain matter. A senior U.S. official who has had access to the images said one of bin Laden's eyes is open while the other is "completely gone."

Though CIA Director Leon Panetta predicted Tuesday that the Obama administration would "ultimately" release a photo, the pros and cons were still being weighed and the president apparently decided it would be too risky.

What's up with craigslist ads?

I love to browse the ads on craigslist. I stick pretty much to the cars/trucks and parts ads. There are some things I have noticed and that kind of puzzle me a little bit.

1. Dude, wash your nasty ass car before you list it. What the hell is wrong with you. I'm not suggesting a $100 dollar detail job, but a little soap and water would go a long way.


2. Maybe vacuum the car before you take the pictures? At least pick up the stray cheetos or something. If you don't have access to an actual vacuum cleaner, at least use a broom to sweep out the big stuff.



3. Take your pictures during the day. These evening/night time pictures are pretty damn worthless. I guess if you a selling a piece of crap you can hide most of it with pictures in the dark. If you are serious about selling your ride, wait till the next day and take a decent picture.


4. Turn your pictures before you post them. These neck crickers are a pain in the ass. If you don't know how to use a photo editing software, take the pictures right side up. Maybe it's just me, but I refuse to look at an ad with sideways or upside down pictures.


5. Holy shit. Camaro is NOT spelled with an "e". It's written on the car in like 10 places. Dude, wtf?
