Best decision BO has made to date, no body no 2 week funeral procession across the middle east.
Body, what body?

[Phaedrus]

Actually, I was curious about the body. Islam requires burial within 24 hours. I wonder if he will be kept from burial and if this will become an issue.


The answer:

buried at sea today.

Quotes regarding Bin Laden's death:

Joe Biden, upon being woken up, " This is a big #$*$&^ deal!"

Was he actually awake for this speech?

I hear he's ticked they cut into the last ten minutes of Celebrity Apprentice, just when Ne Ne and Star were going at it.

They said thats exactly why they did it, no Elvis like shrines (that's my comment). I do think though they saved some of him for DNA for the doubters that come down the pike later.
