So what would you have done if you were President after 9/11?


This response is exactly why the West will never understand or be liked by the Muslim world.

10 years, 2 wars, 919,967 deaths, and $1,188,263,000,000 later, managed to kill one person. Worth it?

Yes, it does look PhotoShop, but it was picked up on many official news sites, hmmm.

It's not really about just this one person. There's a lot more to it than this and the wars are by no means over.

As for the money spent, most of that goes straight into the US military-industrial economy.

Not that I implicitly agree with the wars.
YEEEEEES! Bin Laden is dead, yay that means no more terrorism ever! Right? Right??



oh, wrong. :frown:

ever heard of politics? it is fairly nasty business, you know. if bush hadn't retaliated in some way his ass would have been out of office. the same happens everywhere, not just for the west. i'm not justifying it, but lets be realistic here.

i don't think it's worth it. only extremists would think it's worth it. however, i'm still glad he is gone. plus, it was never to just "kill one person". there was more at stake than just that.
Oh well he's dead, someone else will take his place and is probably already planning some kind of retaliatory act

Thats the photo that is being shown on the news as being "new" and proof that he is dead.I agree it certainly does look shopped.Wonder whats going on........seems a bit strange to me.

This is how it happened;


The drug addicts and vermin who work for the BBC are up to their usual tricks,
running a sympathetic obituary, ending with the statement that 'his ideas live on' intoned over a photograph of him smiling into the camera like a happy, bearded uncle.

They just needed a sunset picture with the themsong highway to heaven and a puppy photoshopped in place of Bin Ladens AK.


They must have unpaid interns from the socialist party running things at the moment until the adults come in later. Remember it was a BBC reporter who wept and howled at the funeral at another murdering bastard , Arafat. Right now they are handwringing about how the goat fukers and boy bummers will take their revenge.

They should all be locked up in lunatic asylums.

Let's have a party.
I don't even get that^.
The US knew where he was hiding all this time. You're tellin me it took 10 years to track him down when they've got some of the most advanced tracking systems in the world?
They killed him now for a specific reason...
By killing him they made him a martyr... They should have arrested him and brought him to The Hague so that he can be held responsible and be judged for all the things he did... In my opinion by killing him the US made a big mistake because now they gave the Al-Quaeda a "reason" to be angry and have revenge bombings, however if he was judged by The Hague the situation would have been different...

I don't think we really need to be worried about revenge attacks because:

1) The only people who are going to consider Osama a martyr are the crazies who already were members/ supporters of Al-Qaeda. I doubt their base of support is going to increase because of this, so they're not going to gain any more resources.

2) Al-Qaeda have presumably been trying their best against the US all along (why wouldn't they?), and mostly just failing. Without some extra resources, they're not suddenly going to be capable of pulling off a serious revenge attack, no matter how much they want to.

Very interesting news indeed.
Just waiting for pictures to confirm this.

Not too sure about the ones available on the internet at this current time.

I'm not sure I agree with that. The US would have loved nothing better than to kill him as soon as possible.
The spotlight will soon be turned onto the Pakistanis, it's pretty obvious that there's been some inside assistance, and I expect some heads will soon be rolling.
