POST HERE For Discussion About The DEATH OF OSAMA BIN LADEN (Updated)

You'd wade into the middle of a firefight, hoist him over your shoulders, carry him out and heroically "Get to the choppa'!"?

No, Summer, you wouldn't. You'd have been shot.

The fact he was in a room defended by God know's how many loyal supporters with firearms, and that they wouldn't exactly relinquish their spiritual leader to you lightly, doesn't exactly bode well for you.

That attack couldn't have lead to anything other then his death. He'd have shot himself or shot at them before being captured.

have you heard of rubber bullets? tear gas?

Im sure people like you would have been saying the same thing about Saddam before he got caught.

I think you guys dont give the US special forces the credit they deserve. If they wanted him alive, Im pretty sure they could have taken him alive. (And he wasnt in a room full of bodyguards. The only others to die were his son, 3 grandkids, a courier and a women. Looks like he chose to try and stay low rather than surround himself with his fighters.)

*cough* What if they didn't kill him... and do still have him alive... and he is dead to the world but alive to the Americans undergoing true revenge on a sickening scale for the mass atrocities he has committed?

So who is interested in more photo's?

long story short this osama bin laden is actually called tim osman he worked for the american cia.. and this 9/11 is all an act conducted by the american government to kill there own people and blame a muslim which would lead to a mad hate crime against muslims and terrorism because the americans are afraid they are going to dominate the world. oh yeh the american government conisists of zionist who hate muslims and islam..

The Americans saw it as a personal attack on every one of them. 9/11 became a national wound.

Image has already been posted in the Original/First Post.

The word "firefight" betrays the fact he did have numerous bodyguards.

Unless grandchildren Bin Laden picked up weaponry and shot back.

I give the US Special Forces every credit. The Navy Seals are one of the most superior special force units in the world. Even the SAS or the Royal Marine Commandos would fail to get him out of there alive.

Surely you are not this stupid. Surely.

Well i don't look at the first post.
Considering your first post has nothing of newer value in it anywayyssss

Really? Lets say you were in the special forces storming a bunker. You see a guy with a weapon and hes about to shoot. What do you do? Are you just going to stay still waiting for him to shoot or are you going to shoot him?

Osama didnt want to be captured, he fought untill he died, he wasnt going to give up. It was him dying or US special forces.

Or they could just kill him for real?



I've already said all this. My thoughts are that capturing him would open up a whole can of worms the US wouldnt want to be involved in, so they planned an assasination.

Hmm, do I believe you or the fact Al Qaeda have already confirmed his death, and soon you'll see them replacing him with their number two.

If he had bodyguards, they would be dead and accounted for.

The word firefight means nothing, mainly because they aren't going to claim an execution and make him a martyr.

They've had ten years to plan and train for exactly these situations in the event of locating him. To then suggest they still wouldnt have been able to take him alive is not giving them the credit they deserve. Its too late in the night and I've misplaced by armchair general hat, so I can't be bothered to argue this, but you can't seriously believe one of if not the best equiped, best trained, most experienced, most determined fighting force doesn't have it in them to be able to extract targets alive. How the hell do you think they extract hostages, who are probably heavily guarded and booby trapped?

Have you heard of X-number of supporters with AK-47s, AK-74Us and the myriad of other Soviet-Era weaponry left behind that fire real rounds that do kill?

Oh you go right ahead, you attack that compound with rubber rounds whilst they shoot back with live rounds. Oh and tear gas? Yeah, throw forty of those in, you may have time to fire thirty rounds of rubber at someone before the four-minute effect time wears off.

I have had a stun grenade used on me, so I know first hand how effective they are. Maybe tranquillizer darts are pushing it a bit, but they could at least have tried to stun Bin Laden and handcuff him.

your telling me the US special forces couldn't capture him?! if they sent enough men in, they'd have him eventually, like the resident evil films
