I sure hope the sharks don't choke.
Here's hoping that "Buried at Sea" means they took what pictures they needed before tossing him out of the door of their Blackhawk on the way back to the ship.

I appreciate that osama was a scumbag of the highest order and deserved nothing but a painful death, congratulations to your forces. But this will be like a red rag to a bul for fundamentalists around the world, they will regroup and redouble their efforts.

In one of the many stories I read it was mentioned that "burial at sea" is not approved of by Islam.
whoops.

I find the whole thing strange that they buried him at sea, so quick, Gone.
News Here reporting..
"Ahmed Quraishi, Senior Research Fellow at a Pakistani think-tank, says Osama's death has provided the U.S. with a way to save face and withdraw from Afghanistan."
[Reply]
Sorry Ahmed....now we go to work on finding out just why he slept there night after night near a major city
and you still claimed not to know where he was. This is going to make it very difficult for the Pakis to get
things done. I have a feeling we are going to breathing down their necks for some time to come. It's cool, tho,
they love it. If any one has to scramble to save face, it will be the pakis. But at least they have many faces
to choose from. pakistani Think Tank.....Jumbo shrimp......Military Intelligence

I'd love to see the pictures of the SEALS with the body after the kill.
It seems like they made a quick exit after blowing up the downed helicopter, but my curiosity has me wondering if they grabbed a souvenier on the way out.
After the shot directly to a Somali pirate's head from a mile away on a bobbing sea, I thought my respect was at an all time high for the SEALS, but this just raised it another notch.

This isn't a knock on the SEALs in any way, but if you are referring to the incident with Captain Phillips being held hostage, those shots were actually taken at a distance of about 30 yards - still an exceptionally difficult shot in rolling seas.

So what's new? muslim terrorists have yet another excuse to murder innocent people?
If we don't kill him, he sits around for years ordering new attacks. If we do kill him, his followers want revenge and order new attacks. If we take him prisoner, other muslim terrorists use that as an excuse to kill innocent people.
It sounds like a no win scenario, but it's not. They know we got him, they also know that his own people gave us the info that led to him. They also know that we will go anywhere, anytime to get them and there is no 'Put your hands up, you're under arrest' mentality when it comes to people like themselves.
If anything, they are scared. They will look at each other now and wonder if anyone can be trusted.
