I have no doubt that you are correct about the application of psyops techniques in the WOT, but the subject of this article is not part of any official psyops effort. He's promoting his gun oil by claiming it was used in killing OBL—a claim which remains unsubstantiated. This is pure and simple bravado, and it is in my opinion obnoxious. And I am not saying one shouldn't engage Muslims in theological arguments pointing out Islam's spiritual inconsistencies. I am an evangelical Christian, so I have strong theological differences with Islam, and I believe that its practitioners are spiritually deceived. BUT.... I have missionary friends in foreign lands specifically ministering to Muslims, and they will tell you that the fastest way to shut the door on any chance your ministry has of influencing them for Christ is to disrespect their faith. The best way to bring Muslims into the family of Christ is to model Christ to them. That is the door opener.

The makers of Silver Bullet Gun Oil are specifically disrespectful to the Muslim faith. Therefore, whether you view this as spiritual warfare as I do, or purely secular psyops as you mentioned, their advertising does more harm than good—not to mention that they offer no proof that their product was actually used in killing OBL. That makes them dishonest too.

I'm with SlickTX. Also, despite all the bravado about wrapping the bodies of terrorists in pigskin, etc., etc., I don't think there is much to be gained by such "in your face" provocations which are insulting to anybody's religion.

OBL committed enough heinous acts in life without repentance that a just God would not embrace him in death. OBL lived in squalor, forced his family to live in squalor, deceived disaffected people into blowing themselves up, and yet he maintained an elaborate and florid pornography collection—all in the name of Allah.

He is dead. Our people killed him. That should be enough.
