Scott,
Only one problem.
Just imagine as he bobs left, then right, then left more than the first time, then back a bit again.
As he does this, he will likely be sounding something like this:
"Ahh.....I see Mecca. Wait, crap, where's Mecca? Ahh, there's Mecca again. Crap, Mecca has been gone for a while again."
And so on.
They have to be buried facing Mecca.

This is what I will be laughing about today.

One man's "buried at sea" is another man's "fed to the sharks".

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.

Someone will be doing a bin Laden version soon, I'm sure.

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

"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."

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.

Crap, I was off by 1730 yards.

I personally would not like to see the SEALS who did it have their pictures and faces all over. It would be a threat to them and their families.

Let's just say they'll go to sleep at night with a clean conscience knowing they did the right thing and that we are forever in debt to them.

I'm sure they'll receive their accolades behind closed doors amongst themselves.

Good Day....Good Day

Exactly. SpecOps guys aren't known to be quiet professionals for nothing.
