2. No doubt copies of this will go out with the next RNC donation requests.

And likely the next communication from President and First Lady Bush on White House stationery. Just a token of thanks to donors and supporters.

3. Kinda looks like a Sotheby's auction....

Auctioneer: "And here we have one dead infamous terrorist leader. Who will buy this marvelous prize?"

Bush: "I'll bid a trillion dollars and 3,000 American lives!"

Auctioneer: "Sold!"

There needs to be an investigation to find out if the informant was tortured.

29. Only a trillion dollars for a war trophy like this? Such a bargain!

But for you, Uncle Sam, because we're such good friends, I'll make it a trillion five. And I'll throw in a pound Nova Lox and a dozen bagels. Let me tell you, Ainkel Shmuel, for lox this good, I'd even schtup that Nazi shikseh Ann Coulter.

How much are Iranian leaders' heads going for these days?

I also sometimes wonder -- wistfully -- how much of the war's price tag is hidden in the Black Budget, also known as the Presidential Parental Love Restoration Budget.

It only goes to prove that there are some things money can't buy. Unless it's really, really, really a lot of money.

8. It don't think that's what it is.

Looks like a poster board with a frame. The poster is just tacked on, probably right off the printer.

Not that they won't get morbid. Didn't they have dead Uday and Qusay action figures?

16. The picture is tacked to a piece of wood.

You can see the bottom left corner curling up. It's NOT a frame.

9. Are they going to give him the taxidermy treatment so

the chimp can hang his head on a wall in Crawford, or will the framed portrait suffice?

Who the hell would think to frame such a thing, anyway? These nutcases are all beyond help.

11. looks pretty good for a guy...

who was killed by (2) 500 lb bombs and whose house was blown apart into tiny little pieces.

...maybe a little too much rouge on the cheeks...

19. My thoughts exactly!

How does a person come out so perfectly together AND dead from 2 huge bombs? Furthermore, how lucky is it that they could actually find this guy THE GUY entact that they have been after, after the bombs like that?

12. So they release a picture of a picture

Amazing how much he healed after got killed.

13. Isn't this a violation of the Geneva Conventions?

Not that violations would bother the Junta, but I seem to recall out of the Abu Graib scandal that the use of photographs of dead or wounded "enemy" for propaganda purposes was forbidden.

26. I believe the Geneva Convention only applies to POWs.

Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 02:15 PM by D__S

I'm not 100% certain.

Could be why the Abu Graib pictures were considered a violation?

Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 04:58 PM by TechBear_Seattle

Flipping channels and I caught Faux news discussing exactly this question: Is releasing the photos of a deal al-Zarqawi a violation of the Geneva Conventions? Even Faux "news" commentators agree that it is, but then go on to make excuses and justification about how it isn't really.

14. It's the civilized version of...

head on a pike. What a morbid display. He's obviously dead on the ground, lying on his side, but someone with a non-artistic eye decided to make it look like a portrait. I wonder who picked out the gilded frame? (Laura?) Is Bush going to display it along with Saddam Hussein's gun in the White House?

24. Can anyone say "culture of death?"

I suppose I understand that they need to prove they got him, so weak is this administration's credibility. But to frame it in gold is obscene.
