I don't doubt Osama Bin Laden is dead but is this really White House transparency regarding raid and killing?

First we were told that Obama made the decision to green light the raid > Now a White House insider says that the Obama Administration changed their decision and wanted to abort the mission but the military overrode it and forced them to green light the mission. Hillary Clinton and CIA Director Panetta sided with the military while the rest of the White House was conflicted.

First we were told they watched the raid via live feed > Now Leon Panetta admits that the live feed was blacked out for 25 minutes and they missed the crucial part of the raid but made statements before confirming the entire story.

The White House doesn't want to release the photos because it would "offend sensitivities in the muslim world" but I thought liberals said that not all muslims are terrorists? So are they now admitting that muslims are terrorists and if not then why would "peaceful" muslims be offended if they aren't terrorists? How quick they forget that when our soldiers are captured if they don't convert, their heads are cut off. We already did the worst possible thing to OBL, we killed him, how is showing a picture of him dead going to make anything worse?

Where is the transparency and accuracy of the before and after? This is a total lack of leadership.

    Like most liberals, they say one thing and do another. This was supposed to be the ultimate in transparent administrations, yet they constantly do things behind closed doors (like Obamacare) and refuse to tell the public what is going on.

    Why did Mr. Transparency fight so hard against releasing his birth certificate? Don't we have a right to know that our Commander in Chief meets the basic requirements of the job?

    I think Bin Laden was captured years ago. They extracted as much info as they could from him, had him make a few videos and tapes for future reference and/or for a disinformation campaign to terrorists cells around the world, and then executed him before Bush left office. The recent raid in Pakistan was faked, probably for both political reasons to help Obama's poll numbers (they were about to drop below 40% approval prior to the raid because Obama was/is losing the political discussions on the economy, national debt, Libya, gas prices, heathcare, etc.) and strategic reason to acquire very helpful intelligence.

    Think about it. This explains why bin Laden was supposedly buried at sea, why Obama, Clinton, and Panetta cant get there stories straight in the days following the Navy SEALS raid, and why no photos of a dead bin Laden are being released.

    Also, does anyone really believe we were unable to find bin Laden in this small area of the world for 10 years with the full force of our miltary and intellience agencies looking for him? Seriously.

    In the end however it makes no difference. Its only a distraction from the real issue, which is the Chinese implementing the defeat of America from within via an economic collapse. Remember, it was Sun Tzu that said the greatest general is the one that can defeat his enemy without fighting a battle. Besides, since we live in a nuclear age now, everyone knows that a traditional war between superpowers would mean a nuclear holocaust and disaster for both sides of a war as well as everyone around the world.

    No. The photographs are too gross for common intake. the persons who lost better half and toddlers on 911 now have closure. they do no longer want the photographs. in spite of if the photographs have been released, many might question their authenticity, like Obama's start certificates.
