Much like the pics of G Worst Bush's Abu Ghraib prisoners, pics of Bin Laden's dead body would only hurt US interests.
So you are suggesting pictures of Abu Gharib should have never been made public? Why did democrats exploit it if it hurt national interests? A political agenda?
Your post leads me to believe that I'm right about you... this is agenda driven, not fact driven.
Of course Al Qaeda needs no excuse to attack us... (your bogus point), but Al Qaeda DOES need support from the region to survive. The more inflamed the populace of Muslim countries, the more support for Terrorists... and you know it. Saudi Arabia walks a fine line between supporting terror and supporting US interests. Pics of Bin Laden's dead bloody body would make it more difficult for any Muslim country to support the US.

BS Abu Ghraib was completely different then showing a dead body, middle eastern countries show deaths caused by our military everyday so your theory holds no water.

Yes they show death for a purpose... they show bloody kids for political agenda, and they show their govt officials kissing babies for the same reason. I know you understand Propaganda... you're a RP Groupie... you exist on it.

They show pictures because it is news, it might be a political agenda behind it but those incidents did take place. So what you are saying is the media shouldn't have aired 9/11 or the Boston bombings because some might use it for a agenda...please.

Funny watching straw man after straw man appear in response to my post. (NOTE: if they had a real argument, they would have used it)!
Posting pics of a dead Bin Laden would likely harm relation with countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
Posting pics of a dead Bin Laden would do no good for the US Govt or America.
Other than to disappoint the 6% of Conspiracy Crazies... what good would it do to post the pics. (The Conspiracy Crazies would not accept any pics anyway, just as they didn't accept Obama's Birth Certificate)
So what is to gain and what is to lose???

Posting a picture of the worlds #1 terrorist would harm relations with governments but bombing their countries is not, an argument of a fool.

Selective drone strikes on Al Qaeda... the US gains. Posting pics of Bin Laden dead... We gain nothing. Both may damage US relations in the Muslim world. One for no gain, the other for major gain.

What's the major gain of drone strikes, we kill 1 terrorist and create hundreds to take their place over our policies, you can't bomb terrorism away. How many terrorist attacks took place before we invaded Iraq, how many have taken place during and after our invasion.

I really don't understand your question. I think you didn't think this one through
George Worst Bush invaded Iraq, for OIL. His excuse was WMD's and that a veiled statement that he was fighting Al Qaeda in Iraq. (there were almost no Al Qaeda in Iraq under Saddam's Iraq)
The US Invading Iraq had no effect on eliminating Al Qaeda (since there were none there) but was a huge recruiting poster for terrorism. The Muslim world saw first hand that the USA under Bush would invade a Muslim country to get at it's oil.

Straw man after straw man, in response to your straw men.
The only FACT that we can definiately say is a FACT, is that they allegedly dumped Bin Laden's body in the ocean and showed no PROOF to the American public. That's the ONLY FACT. Box's facts are from an Al Qaeda website and a staged photo-op of Obama and staff in the situation room. Anybody else that doesn't except that evidence as FACT are conspiracy theorists. Or AKA-logical thinkers because they understand they have never been presented with key evidence(the dead body), and this administration openly denied releasing that evidence.
That would be like being charged with murder, but the prosecutor refusing to let the defense see the dead body. If box was on that jury, he would convict the person charged with murder on just the word of the state.
How do you know this to be FACT? Isn't that a bit conspiratorial? Do you have evidence of this?
I know, you just hate Bush because he's a white Christian, and you will oppose anything a white Christian does because you are a racist. If Obama did this, you would support it.LOL
