Michael Yon - Bin Laden already Buried at Sea

Major mistake. OBL was/is a powerful cult figure who has vanished with no "death certificate." His body should have been displayed. The only thing more powerful than a living cult leader is one who disappears off the face of the earth. Making his body disappear was a deadly blunder that plays straight into the hero myth. Joseph Campbell couldn't have written a more terrible ending.


Of course. Anybody who understands anything about the Middle East is saying the same. Unfortunately, this is merely proof #5,327 that nobody in the Obama White House understands a damn thing about the Middle East.

At least he ordered the Navy Seals to kill Obama instead of wasting the chance like Clinton did in 1998. Gotta give him that. If the attack had gone badly and killed civilians it would have been a horrible mess, 75 mi from Islamabad and without the Pakistani authorities being notified. Whatever Obama is saying about their cooperation, it's an obvious lie. If they had a clue, Osama bin Laden would have been tipped off.
