This entire story doesn't pass the "smell test"!

Obama (a proven liar) says that Osama Bin Laden has been killed. Great, but something doesn't smell right about the details of this story.

So they gave Bin Laden a "burial at sea" in keeping with Islamic tradition only hours after they killed him? Give me a break!

Can we please have some indisputable forensic proof that the person who was killed was actually Osama Bin Laden, and not some body double?

Obama is not a liar. He has ever showed himself to be an honorable man. Former Presidents G.W. Bush and Bill Clinton both took our President at his word. If that isn't good enough for you, the problem is you.

There is indeed a very strong smell of rotten fish, not just "fishy". Uncle Osama might be sitting pretty in a cave laughing his turban off. I think this is just another ploy by Obama to gain popularity. (comment from South Africa) 156.8.251.250 (talk) 14:14, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Surely this would be a very transparent ploy if bin Laden turned up on YouTube with a copy of todays newspaper; I don't think that conspiracy theories are going to be needed here. The DNA evidence probably sin't actually conclusively verified yet, I doubt it can be done so rapidly, although this is a special case. The very rapid burial at sea was probably to avoid hoards of people coming to either a burial site or storage facitlity to sing his praises or piss on it and cause a massive riot.

The newspapers are all in with Obama anyway, so I bet that wouldn't prove anything.

The GOP (all time champions at lying) are now saying that the President made it up. I guess those NAVY seals are lying too? Go grow a pair GOP time to man up!

In the United States, we try to respect others' religions. Also another reason we put him at sea, other than being closer to hell, no one could go there and honor him.

Do you honestly think that Bush would have given him a bath and proper Muslim burial? No way! This was one Muslim to another!! They should of tied his a-- to the back of the ship and pulled his a-- all the way to America! If there was anything left after the critters. Then give him a proper Godfather burial mix some concrete with piss and let him sleep with the fishes! Burn in hell Osama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one has the right to do wrong - Viktor Frankl.

Doing wrong includes not respecting death and death wills. I think it is wrong to enjoy the death of anyone, whoever it may be. Even in the case of Bin Laden, there is no happiness in dying.

However, the end of an icon of terrorism is to be celebrated, not as the death of a human being, but exactly the end of an icon. Two extremely different concepts.

I would hope the Bush administration would have respected the Muslim funeral traditions. But in my view, Bush is such an incompetent, liar, puppet and overall just dumb, that he would have requested, just like you have 156.99.114.117, to tie his a-- to the back of the ship and pulled his a-- all the way to America! . Such a process is disrespectful and plain wrong.

I agree, but I'll let the Americans have this one I guess if it pleases them. The way that I 'celebrated' was to give no overly significant recognition to the death of a man who loved to bring attention to his cause. I'm not a fish who bites at maggots

Clearly my friend DNA test verifies that thing

He is dead.

When the Twin Towers fell on 9/11, some people thought it was a conspiracy by the government. When Osama bin Laden is reported dead, some people think it is another conspiracy by the government. Since when did everything have to be a conspiracy theory?

There has always been people to create rumors and to suspect people with more authority to try to screw the people. As this may have been true in the past, it is less and less applicable in today's world.
