Donald Trump first Birth Certificate, then School Records, Now Osama's Dead Body

Donald Trump, like me, doesn't seem convinced of Osama Bin Ladin's death now celebrated by Barack Obama. With Obama's approval numbers in the basement, it would be easy to play Wag the Dog with this story, especially with reports that Osama Bin Ladin died four years ago and Bin Ladin's more youthful appearance in death despite ten years of being stressed and on the run. Even the death photo of Bin Ladin appears to be fake.

It seems convenient for Barack Obama to tell the nation he honored Islamic tradition and ordered a sea burial for Bin Ladin--very convenient. Donald Trump isn't buying it.

“If, as the White House claims, U.S. forces were successful in killing Osama Bin Ladena, Obama needs to show us the body,” said Trump early Monday.

I agree. It would be too easy to fabricate this story for Obama's needed political gain with the election right around the corner topped off by a burial at sea. It would be much tougher to bring the body home and prove Osama is truly dead. Why did the United States government produce proof? Why didn't they try to bring Osama alive back to the US for trial or at least bring his body home?

The White House responded Trumps comments were “inappropriate and insensitive.” They felt it is uncalled for that Obama “parade Bin Laden’s body around like it was a trophy.” Of course, there was a $25 million reward for the trophy to begin with. So this White House rhetoric isn't consistent with the rhetoric directed towards Bin Ladin in the past.
