Osama Bin Laden Dead?

Re: The US killed Bin Laden

wow, great news for decent human beings. Hopefully theres 4 billion people worldwide celebrating tonight. Might be time to invest in firecrackers and beer stocks.

President Obama has confirmed they did a joint operation from Pakistani intelligence and got him, killed him and have possession of the body.

He was cornered in a compound just off Kecheri Rd. in Abbottabad.

Hide and Seek world champion is dead, sad day for that sport.

Donald Trump wants to see the Death Certificate :D
 
Well looks like the Worlds greatest military planner is dead , but don’t worry there will be another one to take his place and it will go on as if nothing had happened.
Has been for 2,000 yrs.

He caused the depression and ended up with more than he could had ever dreamed of , after 9/11 the Greenspam dropped interest rates so the World went on a spending spree spending money they didn’t have ,to buy thing they didn't’ ,need to impress people they didn’t like.
Then the feds spent money on security at airports and were able to catch a man with a bomb in his shoe and the only reason the bomb didn’t go off was because he was held over by French police who thought it was odd he was going to USA on a 1 way ticket and he looked like a mad man so they let him go to USA and his shoe lace absorbed moisture in the police cell and would not burn,
The other had a bomb in his undies and was over powered by passengers as he tried to give himself a cheap vasectomy.
The experts decided to retro fit security door to the cockpit but worked out it would be to expensive.
So have to give him credit.
Until the next one comes along.

Those who went short on Bin Lined yrs ago will get a pay out.

GG know that street well there is Mud hut on the corner where the lights use to be and bombed out car in the middle of the road , use to be a night club there with dancing girls in full Burka's.

Was the upmarket part of town.
Con grats on the scoop.
Now it we can stop the yank celebrating all should be ok
so move a long nothing to see.
 
Massive boost of morale to the old US of A after this. Possible sentiment changer on Obama as well
 
He's been dead for more than three days so he is obviously not the messiah.:)

Well one big tick for US and Obama. Certainly won't hurt general sentiment about his Presidency and determination to chase and "catch" Osama. (I don't think anyone seriously thought Osama woud be taken back alive to face any sort of messy trial.)

It will be interesting to see how the President handles the question of burial. He wouldn't want to be too publicly disrespectful. It's also worth realising that a hundred Al Quada cells will be busting their boilers to create some sort of vengance for Osama Bin Ladens killing. If some are successful it could create havoc around the world and on stock markets. :2twocents
 
Heard a whisper he has already been buried at sea?? Sounds a bit suss

Yea CNN is not reporting this, i find it very sus but i believe he died a few years back anyway.

This is the guy they have been searching for for over 10 years and they go on about having to bury him straight away to conform with Islamic rules... oh please.
 
Bin Laden's mission in life was to cause America as much grief as possible. As he relaxes in the arms of 69 virgins and checks his score card, I don't think he will be too disappointed.

I think he'll be disappointed on the other side
 
Until I see a photo of the body, I am skeptical.

SOP for EKIA in this war is to take a photo of them dead.

Dumping the body at sea looks like a good way of avoiding public scrutiny.

Where is the photo?

:cautious:

No conspiracy theory here, just proof of death required.

I didn't think decent people celebrate another persons murder/assassination, some victims of his excepted perhaps.

That's the correct spelling of his name.
 
Clever exercise to immediately "bury Osama at sea" within 24 hours "in accordance with Islamic customs". Immediately stops all the conversations about what to do with the body!

Of course the US is absolutely correct when it says it would have been very difficult to find a country that would take Osama Bin Laden for burial. Particularly when it would have been made absolutely, crystal xxxxing clear that such a country would be deemed to be a terrorist sympathiser of the worst sort in the USA's books. Anyone want to step up to that plate ? Good ! Let's go.

Ohh!
So you're saying the FBI was looking for the right guy!
It was just the other 8 billion people who were looking for the wrong guy!
 
At the risk of contributing to a conspiracy theory; he was found, shot and buried all within 24 hours? That's very convenient, isn't it?

As for checking his DNA; what DNA are they checking? They couldn't find him for the last 10 years let alone get his DNA for comparisson.

If it's all true, then I'm glad. Didn't need all that stuff going on. Maybe this is the point where things start to take a turn for the better. Hope so.
 
Went home for lunch and saw the broadcasts, while I am glad Bin Laden has been terminated, I dont think there is much value in keep broadcasting the 'celebrations' outside the whitehouse like it was some 'world cup' win. It would only antogonise the next loosehead to start reacting in retaliation.

I hope this goes some way to relieve the pain of those who lost loved ones in the collective acts of terror.
