Could have buried Osama Bin Laden at Gitmo

Quick thought - Rather than the burial at sea, they could have buried Osama Bin Laden at Gitmo. Anyone who wanted to visit such a, "Shrine," could simply be checked in and questioned.

Perhaps President Obama missed that history lesson.

I was so sad and disappointed, but sadly not surprised, that President Obama, speaking at the UN today referred to Israel as occupiers.  The 1967 War against Israel by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq was won by Israel.  In the course of Israel defending its life, Israel captured the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the West Bank from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria. These details are summarized well by the Six-Day War Wikipedia entry. 

Capture in self-defense is not occupation.  Such careless and offensive language can be expected by Kadafi or Ahmadinejad the questionable dictatorial leaders of terrorist countries.  When such language is uttered by the President of the United States on an international stage, it is devastating and indeed a very sad day for democracy.
