Bin Laden dead :0

http://www.ajc.com/news/reports-bin-laden-dead-931726.html

they dont know many details right now though. Apparently hes been dead for days but they needed to verify that it was him using DNA matches

roflll im polish mackman. gotta cut me some slack when it comes to these things!

They should string him up and tie his dead corpse by his balls (if he has any) over the 9/11 site.

unfortunately hes already been given a proper burial and his body was lowered into the sea...

Lowered into the sea!? they shoulda threw him overboard in a garbage bag.

Something that bugs me is that it took 11 years to find and kill him and it only took 24 hours to BURY him.
I smell a conspiracy theory coming.

Im sure if he was buried someone would try and get the body or something like that and I believe cremation is forbidden. Its also quite amazing that pakistan supposedly did not have knowledge of him hiding there. yeahhhh righhttt

Why would the United States lie about Bin Laden's death when his closest advisors could either confirm or deny the fact?

Why would the United States want to infuriate more Muslims by disrespecting his body and throwing it into a garbage bag?

It blows my mind that my fellow citizens are shocked to learn that the United States once funded the Afghan insurgents against the Soviets. The South Park episode in which Bin Laden helped the town of South Park fend off the Jersey Shore stereotypes was very accurate.

"Very accurate" isn't the best term. "Appropriate" is more like it.

oooo big bad osama used his wife as a shield. what a big man he is!
oh and anyone have insight into how involved he still was with al-quaida? Didnt the compound have zero phone lines? Maybe we just killed someone who has just become a symbol of terrorism rather than someone that is currently masterminding attacks...idk

Yea, same here. This is boring.

After September 11, 2001, Bin Laden became more of a ghost of terrorism rather than a symbol. If he didn't have any contact with the outside world, it sounds like his terrorist buddies thought to themselves "This guy is as good as dead. Let's just stick him in a mansion so he can live out the rest of his life not in a hole like Saddam."

EDIT: I really need to read the news before I post things on the internet:

"Al-Qaeda is not a person, it is an institution," Aboud al-Zumur, a friend of al-Zawahiri and founding member of Egypt's Islamic Jihad, told AFP news agency.
Echoing a similar tone, a Pakistani lawmaker associated with a hardline Islamic group warned, "Osama was the name of an ideology and an ideology does not die with the death of a person."

Word.

According to two sources at the briefing Tuesday, CIA Director Leon Panetta told lawmakers that Pakistani officials either "were involved or incompetent. Neither place is a good place to be."

I asked my mom what she thought about it she said; "He got what he deserved." Nuff said.

As long as the United States continues to use brute force as its primary means of diplomacy, it cannot be assumed that all opposition to the US and its allies will ever be eradicated from the face of the Earth. This does not imply that all efforts to set boundaries to combat terrorism will be wasted.

Vortex, you are correct. Bin Laden had become a shell of a human being, a face of an ethos that glorifies violence in the name of a higher power. It would be naive to think that Al-Qaeda is going to stand around with their hands in their pockets while all of this is going on. The United States would do itself a favor by remaining vigilant and not getting drunk in the streets over some dead 50 year old man.

EDIT: My bad, Mackman. My second paragraph repeats what you said in your third.

And Vortex is right. E is privy to this sort of thing. FFS, E, say something. You're the one complaining about there not being enough posts in this thread.

Now I'm watching CNN and they seem to be leaning towards a conspiracy theory because "Waahhh, we wanna see a body". Do these people still believe the Earth is flat?

Got that from someone. who knows
