Lucky! White House Allows A Select Group Of Senators To See Bin Laden Death Photos

It’s the hottest ticket in town! Only a select few are getting to see some of the most highly anticipated pictures of the year while the rest of the world will have to wait, wait, wait. No, I’m not talking about today’s opening of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, I’m talking about the private showings of the dead Osama bin Laden photos open only to select senators.

Yesterday, members of the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence committees were told that they could view the private pictures and they’re already getting rave reviews! Sen. Joe Lieberman, invited as chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, was asked if they’d help bring closure and said they would “in a way.” Sounds like a winner!

However, not everyone’s a fan. Sen. John McCain has decided not to go to ritzy screening in Langley. When asked why, McCain responded, “I’ve seen enough dead people.” Uh oh! No one’s putting that quote on a poster!

Meanwhile, the media is still clamoring to get a sneak peek at the buzzed-about pictures. However, the White House isn’t budging, still arguing that the photos (which show (SPOILER WARNING) grizzly images of Bin Laden with bullet wounds to the face and, reportedly, brain tissue visible) might incite more violence.

Of course, all this writer is really interested in is hearing about the fancy, star-studded post-screening after parties. I hear those things get cur-razy!

I think Lieberman gets aroused by looking at these type of pictures.

I have seen a bootlegged, underground copy of the bin Laden death photo. It does not look like the familiar Osama photos. I believe the body that was buried at sea is a hoax and a phony. I suggest a foreign country (Russia, China, England, Germany, France, Australia, Canada, or Japan) take deep-sea divers, a one-man sub, an unmanned robotic sub, and sonar to the area that the Navy dumped Osama’s body, retrieve it, conduct a thorough autopsy on it, and take another DNA test. You will find that it is not OBL’s body.

I strongly suggest that a foreign country do it ASAP because the U.S. Navy, on command from the White House, will retrieve the body and incinerate it to destroy all evidence. The Navy has the exact coordinates of the body drop, so I suggest a foreign country do this immediately if not sooner. Additionally, foreign countries should keep surveillance on the aircraft carrier that dumped the body to see if it trolls the area of the ocean where it dumped the body. If the carrier loiters in that area, you know they are in the process of retrieving the body.

I don’t doubt this for one second…. see, there are some of us who have actually served in the military, unlike the loon biscuit liberals who visit this site. I know how far our military and our government will go to make Americans feel unsafe, so that they can invade other countries other the label “we have to defeat terrorism”. It’s sad that so many Americans took the bait given to them when Barry Soetoro declared “WE HAVE KILLED BIN LADEN”.

I think you may have not realized that Bush invaded Iraq and Afghanistan.

and the fact that al-Qaeda has confirmed bin Laden’s death means that ZOMG THEY’RE IN ON THE CONSPIRACY!!!! PRESERVE OUR ESSENCE! JACKBOOTED GOVERNMENT THUGS! FEMA CONCENTRATION CAMPS!

Why are oil companies charging so much for their oil? Main reason is, because they can. Why can they? Because all the oil companies formed a CARTEL, a Cartel is a group of companies joined together and cooperates to STOP COMPETETION, a sort of clever method of PRICE FIXING. There is abundance of Crude Oil and they continue to raise the price until a large number of buyers stop buying, they then lower the price again until they start buying again. “They call this what the market will bear”. The people using these barrels of oil are (captive customers) which makes the business men suppliers look like greedy hard core profiteers. This does maximize their profits but they are killing the bees that make the Honey. Do they also think; “there are plenty more bees where they came from”?
The Gasoline prices are pretty much the same. They raise the price of a gallon of gasoline until a large number of people quit buying, then they lower the price until everyone starts buying again. This is a sensible way of arriving at a price for products not related to the necessities of life. Price gouging on products produced for the necessities of life and economic stability and progress should be classed as a heinous act and unethical in all business. On the necessities of Life, people will buy till they go broke or die. That is no civilized way of setting prices.
The only thing greedy business men understand is legislation. Legislation is like a contract. Every business man will tell you, when doing business never work without a contract. New Legislation should be implemented and adjusted frequently to keep business fair and running smoother.
