Delighted. Justice has been served. Especially if it was a U.S. bomb that got him. Unfortunate that he couldn't have stood trial, and been made to observe the suffering he's inflicted on the planet. But satisfying nonetheless.



The best outcome would have been a trial and life in solitary confinement.

However, it is a great time. Finally, he is dead.

How come he's a martyr ?
From when did al-qaeada become some sort of caliphate.
:rolleyes:
/Thread


Caliphate would be the wrong expression to use, i don't buy into your analogy there even though it was in sarcasm.

It's more a weed that doesn't really need that relatively many resources to cause widespread devestation. Hence the reason why i emphasised the ideological basis.

So what does this change? Is Al-Qaeda automatically going to disarm themselves and disband? I don't think so. One man goes and another replaces him.
Reports are saying he was killed outside a mansion in Islamabad. Pakistan has some serious explaining to do.

CBS says President 'due to speak momentarily'.


Was 'meant to speak' about 45 minutes ago.

I myself have been watching the live stream for like 25 minutes now.

Am i weird? Maybe xD

I don't get it how come rooting off one man will lead to world peace :rolleyes:
Some of us do believe in sweet ending fairy tales.


Killing any al-Qaeda/al-Qaeda affiliate is a step in the right direction
Does that mean cheaper gas?


We should all celebrate even though gaddafi is still alive lol

No more weird than I. CBS saying delay in statement due to 'calibrations in the White House'.
I love how after so many years, when it is believed to be true, no one really cares, lol.

Also I love how like they love to state US killed him, for, you know, their HISTORYYYYYYY"!!!!!!111111.

According to AJE http://english.aljazeera.net/news/americas/2011/05/2011522132275789.html, the US have his body already, so it's likely that he's indeed recently dead.
Won't make any difference to the conflict though, aside from the US PR boost.

Anderson Cooper, along with other notable news personalities, have tweeted it.

I would laugh if Osama Bin Laden released new video footage reporting from a tropical island whilst wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses and drinking a cocktail; and saying that they have killed the wrong man.

CRAP your right, weve just opened the gate for revenge attacks :frown:


What the....?!?! If you really think about it, the number of people who wanted him gone FAR OUTWEIGHS anybody who supported him. Besides, with him gone, his power rangers don't really have a leader.

I've even read he's been dead for a week or so and that they have just been waiting on DNA results.

Dunno if that makes a difference.. and whether its true or would even need to be a lie or whatever, just thought i;d provide that input :rolleyes:
