Osama bin Laden is dead

[MiniDoom]

what war are you referring to?

Sorry, the "military conflict" in Libya.

Sorry, the "military conflict" in Libya.

oh, that's obama's idea. gotcha

 

[Ns1]

America fuck yeah

 

[MiniDoom]

oh, that's obama's idea. gotcha

We're paying the bill...

 

[BoomerD]

I have my doubts. Why would they just toss him in the ocean after spending the better part of a decade and over a trillion dollars looking for him? Who gives a shit about muslim customs. The guy was a mass murderer... any muslim who thinks he deserved a traditional muslim burial should be on the terrorist watch list.

They should have brought the body back for independent analysis.

conspiracy theories here we come.

Unfortunately, by dumping the body in the ocean, the administration has set themselves up for the conspiracy theories. No one outside a select few has actually seen the body...and we're just supposed to take their word for it?
Fuck that...and fuck Muslim tradition. His body should have been hung on the White House fence for a week...Let the families of those who died in his attacks come beat it with a stick, throw rocks at it, and finally, set it on fire. Osama Bin Forgotten deserved NO respect, NO "proper burial per his religious customs," and the Muslim community SHOULD get that. OBL brought down more than just the WTT. He also brought down relations between the Muslim world and the rest of the world. They'll always be looked at like a bunch of terrorists...just because of the actions of this one man and his group of followers.

Regarding his body being dumped in the sea

 

[manlymatt83]

So is it safe to fly still?

So is it safe to fly still?

you won't take our advice.

We're paying the bill...

we're paying our bill, for our participation in the western world's support of rebels trying to get rid of a tyrant. we're not paying for anyone else's participation, nor are we sending soldiers like france and italy are.

if you see a picture will you believe?

See, there are always going to be people who think our government is lying. So there will always be these wack job theorists out there trying to cast doubt upon everything and anything. Even a picture won't satisfy them.

fixed.

No. I'm not subscribing to Boomer's news letter other that hanging the body on the WH's gates.

Edit: On 2nd thought, I might just.

Pretty sure we're above that petty shit. Besides, by dumping the body, the bin Laden family can't get it back and use it to recruit. As for the conspiracy theorists, doubt they actually believe it was Osama even if they did keep the body so fuck 'em.

If pictures couldn't be so easily faked, then I'd agree....

Boomer's first paragraph sums it up for me. It just doesn't make sense why they did it that way. Doesn't mean I believe in that conspiracy though. Just don't get their actions.

It's been explained why. I guess you aren't open to any explanations.

If we hadn't killed OBL and disposed of the body it is quite likely that terrorists would take hostages in an attempt to trade for him.

So, offing him and dumping him in the ocean was the smart move.

 

[SAWYER]

The 24 hour excuse is bs, and besides that pos didn't deserve it, he should have been thrown to the pigs

 

[Farmer]

Or, they could view him as a martyr and convince a younger generation to avenge his death by furthering jihad against America.

Hey, as long as we're rampantly speculating. We can continue claiming he's dead. They can continue claiming he's alive or whatever the hell they like to do. OBL is a symbol to both sides, whether he's actually alive or not ain't that important, just what you think.

Exactly

It was damn near perfect.

(My only complaint is I didn't get to piss on his dead carcass )

 

[highland145]

Nope. I think they got him. I'm saying that our gubment, no matter who is in charge, will not give the facts if it's not in their best interest. And then, only the ones that are.

 

[Murloc]

I heard that the plan was to kill him. If it was possible to get him alive, why not?
maybe it would have been too dangerous for the team, then okay go ahead.
But then don't bury the body in the ocean the same day.
now it looks like they have something to hide or didn't want him to speak. I'm no conspirationist but a public trial would have been better.

I'm neutral about the fact that they found him. It's a personal vendetta for americans, but it's not going to change the scenario that much. It's just another head that goes down.
Even if he was an important mind of the movement there sure are plenty of others, like unknown people who can actually travel without getting busted if they step out of their house.

 

[JimmiG]

Bin Laden is going to get really pissed off when he hears what happened to Bin...


ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[mugs]

There is no doubt in my mind that Osama is dead. Why would the government lie about that when it could so easily be disproven?

The only thing you can really question is how he died. But we couldn't lie about that either without having his body in our possession. So really there are two possibilities:
1. We killed him and dumped his body in the ocean
2. We stole his already-dead body, dumped it in the ocean, and lied about killing him

Believe what you want.

Considering the seal team had helmet cams, the facts are recorded. Youtube, most likely, won't be getting a copy.
