Re: Osama Bin Laden dead.

So I wonder if we'll be seeing these any longer...



He's dead, I can has my xbox now?

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead.

Yeah but it's also the death of a human being who is responsible for thousands of other's human beings' death. You honestly think he deserves to live after what he's responsible for? Shady bro...

Don't criticize people or isolate them on his side for having feelings, I knew this would happen. The one person that says they should've not killed him, going down to his standards, blah blah. I'm glad he's dead, but if someone comes here saying death is wrong they'd most likely defend you too. The more someone is hated the more influence it'll have over you.

Also, there was no way of dragging him out alive. It was a gun fight. As said before, they wanted justice and they wanted him, dead or alive. I actually think they would have loved to get him alive, and we wouldn't even know. Why? They'd interrogate him to death or use him to get the other terrosists to come out. The death had to happen, he would've killed himself like Hitler I'm sure.

tons of people go from throw obama out to hopping on the re-elect bandwagon.

Welcome to America.

Proved to be a Photoshop unfortunately.

lmfao i knew it

tho personally i don't think photographic evidence is in any way reliable since 1988

ps unless killing osama brought back even just 1 person he's responsible for killing, I don't see real cause for celebration here and it's kind of making me uncomfortable that some people do.

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead.

Its making you uncomfortable that people are celebrating the death of someone who is responsible for the death of thousands? Are you SERIOUS?

I suppose you think we should have wasted even more tax dollars keeping him detained for the rest of his pathetic existence, where he would undoubtedly continue to run his terrorist organization from behind bars, right?

Unbelievable.

This doesn't end any wars. The War on Terror isn't just about finding Osama. Everyone he killed is just as dead. We don't really benefit from this in any way. al Qaeda gets a new leader and probably keeps all their funding too, I find it hard to believe bin Laden wouldn't have contingency plans put into place after his death to keep his organization funded.

Don't get me wrong yo, I don't think killing him was morally wrong, especially since he died in a firefight. I'm just sad it was necessary.

He wouldn't have killed himself, he would have just kept on hiding, like he always has. Imo the only reason I think they would've wanted him alive is for torture, he deserves it, and quit saying he doesn't, because he does.


I still think Obama is giving himself too much credit for all of this, it's not like he went there and shot Osama in the face or anything, he didn't do half the work.

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead.

and quit saying he doesn't, because he does.

Where did I say this?

Also, he would have killed himself. He was cornered with a gun. Nowhere to run. He could either:

A) Shoot his way out and hope to escape

B) Get shot in crossfire and die

C) Realize he was outnumbered without getting hit and shoot himself, because he's smarter than to give himself up torture

I'm glad he's dead, but if someone comes here saying death is wrong they'd most likely defend you too

This means that you're attacking someone for saying that death is wrong. Not because it's Osama. I highly doubt this guy is going to think you'd deserve to die if he's complaining about the killing of the world's most wanted man. He doesn't like people killing other people. Period. Just to make sure though

I'm glad he's dead

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead.

Uhh didn't he use his wife as sort of a human shield to protect himself like Fidel Castro did in Black ops? That makes a lot of sense considering he was shot in the eye. I was just wanted to clarify this?

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead.

this is news, but it'll be more shocking when everyone realizes 9/11 was an inside job lol

It was some woman so far unidentified. (Probably a wife of someone) and someone else was using her as a human shield. Also killed was a courier who unknowingly lead CIA to the compound, his brother, and supposedly Osama's son.

NYT has a wonderful story on it.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/03/wo...agewanted=4&hp

One of Bin Laden’s wives identified his body, American officials said. A picture taken by a Seals commando and processed through facial recognition software suggested a 95 percent certainty that it was Bin Laden. Later, DNA tests comparing samples with relatives found a 99.9 percent match.....

....The Obama administration had already determined it would follow Islamic tradition of burial within 24 hours to avoid offending devout Muslims, yet concluded Bin Laden would have to be buried at sea, since no country would be willing to take the body. Moreover, they did not want to create a shrine for his followers.

So the Qaeda leader’s body was washed and placed in a white sheet in keeping with tradition. On the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, it was placed in a weighted bag as an officer read prepared religious remarks, which were translated into Arabic by a native speaker, according to the senior Pentagon official.

The body then was placed on a prepared flat board and eased into the sea. Only a small group of people watching from one of the large elevator platforms that move aircraft up to the flight deck were witness to the end of America’s most wanted fugitive.

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead.

Enforcing a no fly-zone and preventing another dictator from ruthlessly killing his own citizens

i guess it would only start more controversy to point out the dictators america has Put into other countries in the past, but - oops.

i am glad that du can do no more evil... but for real tho celebrating anyone's death is sick. all humans deserve to be alive. celebrating death in any form just seems wrong to me

[ddrxero64]

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead.

I'm glad they stopped him. If they could have taken him alive it would have been better. They did what they could. I'm not chanting USA though, just saying it's a step in the right direction

True

But, by the same logic, Osama didn't fly the planes during 911. He didn't do half the work...!


Which of course brings up the underlying issue; Al-Qaeda is still there, and can continue to function largely without the existence of Bin Laden.


Also, he has to be dead. The government would never risk him being alive and making this kind of announcement. Imagine what Osama would do when he heard? Something as simple as a video announcing the fact he is still alive would cripple the credibility of our government, not to mention piss off Al-Qaeda.

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead.

But all Obama did was say that the U.S was involved in an operation that killed Osama. He wasn't specifically stating that he did anything.
