Islamic law calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours of death. In an effort to appease Muslims and avoid outrage, the military washed him and clothed him in the appropriate manner before performing a full Islamic ceremony prior to burying the body at sea.
Plus nobody wanted his body. The Saudis certainly didn't.
Ahhh. OK.

Can you hang on I just need to e-mail the Parrallax corporation and arrange a quickie assassination.
Ok Bin Laden is living in a compound next to Pakistan's elite military academy. e.g. it's most loyal and least Islamised forces.
It's a noticably large compound, one suspect very easy to keep an eye on. Not only that but in a country like Pakistan there are checkpoints and patrols all the time (especially near such a large base). No way is a sick man getting out of there in a car boot or what not.
That's no base of operations, it's a best an open prison.
More likely a fridge.
Why were they letting him live for so long? Seriously what the f**k was going on?
Sounds like a job for Dr Sodomicus.

Wasn't I supposed to reveal that you're still alive, or was it the dropping the 'j' thing?
Are you bating me? Beware I am the master of bating.

Don't worry it's all taken care of. They've got Micheal Barrymoore on their books.
Why do the US media call him Usama, yet we in the UK call him Osama?
Same for Gaddaffi.....why do they call him Qaddaffi?
TB's silly question number 23.
Both are Arabic names and there's no clear phonetic translation.

Phonetic spellings of words in a different language with a different alphabet. Remember when Mumbai was Bombay and Beijing was Peking?
Sure, but why the difference between two English-speaking nations?
A whole city peeking? What a bunch of pervos!
EDIT: Posted at the same time.

There's lots of diferences between US and UK English.

Has this got anything to do with me being invited to his next pool party?

Yes, we're right and they're wrong.
