Unbelievable. But, I hardly thought he had much relevance anymore as I didn't think the occupation of the middle east's primary intent was finding Bin Laden (or was it?), and if he is a figurehead for terrorism, does this mean the war is over? Unfortunately for all, I don't think it will be.

Of course not. The death of Hitler didn't signal the end of Nazism, either. But what a moral victory.

You know, this is something that hurt America for a long time. We'd always know that we were sucker punched and this coward had gotten away with it. Now we have closure. We got him. As a Nation, we can come together under that one thing-we got him.

Right, but, probably not true. That's the story the media will get. They can't give out a spot that he was buried, because it could become a shrine for idiots. However, I highly doubt he was really buried at sea so soon. Again, it's PR. Smart move on their part.

There will be a huge autopsy and such. I'm sure if and when they do get rid of the body, it may be at sea, but I don't believe that's going to happen anytime soon. Despite what the reports say. A lot of that is to appease Islamic groups.

Holy crap. This is what I get for going to bed early last night. I miss HUGE news.

I honestly figured the guy had been long dead.....from air raids or medical reasons but damn if we didn't get him!

I am generally not a person who believes that it is ok to carry out capital punishment....but if anyone deserved it Osama was it. It doesn't take away all the death in 9/11, all the troops that died in Afghanistan, and all the other al Quaeda terrorist acts....but somehow I feel this is justified....if for nothing else than the fact that he was living in a mansion after all the evil he caused.


HOORAY!

BubblyShell22

This is truly a joyous day for everyone here. I'm all for capital punishment and especially feel bin Laden deserved it after all he did to us. I really feel that justice has been done, and for it to be the U.S. who carried out the attack, that's awesome. I feel the same way I did when Saddam was captured and killed. Time to party everybody! He's dead.

I don't think the war will end soon because they'll have to make sure others don't fill his place. Plus, there's always the threat of retaliation to us, which they're prepared for. As for his burial, I heard on Today that he was buried within tweny-four hours according to Islamic law, but they didn't say that he was buried at sea.

Currently out of the country so I'm not too happy about this. Traveling is enough of a pain in the ass. Whatever though. I never saw the need to "get him". Anyone that truly thinks he was really behind 9/11 is looking for a face to blame. He was nothing more then a poster child used to throw us off from the real man or men responsible. A highly intelligent terrorist leader isn't going to make videos with his face all over it and send them to everyone.

I was watching the newest episode of "Game of Thrones" when I happened to take a peek at Twitter to see this news.

I'm torn about this. On the one hand I'm glad he's gone. The brutal acts he's funded have stripped him of all humanity in my eyes. Put him down like the rabid animal he was.

On the other, it's a shame that now we can't put him on trial for the world to see. Because let's face it, we've just martyred him to his followers. Where as the whole world being able sentence him...

Which bring me back to the first hand: there's no such thing as a fair trial. Especially when those on trial have the money.

So yeah, torn.

Bin Laden deserved it, regardless if he was or was not the "true orchestrator" of 9/11 he led Al Queda and caused many deaths in the process. I will not shed a tear nor will I exhalt in praise, but man it's good to finally get some closure on this.

I heard that it is law in the islamic relegion that a person's body has to be buried withen 48 hrs of the person death and the muslims would throw a huge fit if a muslim's relegous rights were vialated even it its a terrorist. So think it may be legit

Katie
05-02-2011, 05:51 PM
Actually, Islamic Law says a body should be disposed of ASAP and not longer than sundown on the day after death. Apparently no country would take the body for a land burial, and cremation is not permited under Islamic Law, so burial at sea was the conclusion.

His body would have been washed and dressed in white, words and prayers said in Arabic, then the body disposed.

Respecting the religion was right, whether this guy was a terrorist or not. We are not at war with Islam. We didn't stoop to disrespecting religious beliefs because the guy was an enemy.

I don't think this will be a turn at all. Honestly I think the guy was pretty irrelevant at this point. If he stuck his head out for too long someone would get him. Used the computer we'd probably trace that....he was caged already.....albeit in a million dollar mansion cage.

True enough that somehow this millionaire somehow was able to get poor uneducated young men (cause honestly that's what the vast majority of al Quaeda members are) to believe that he was one of them and felt their pain and was somehow consecrated by god to squash the "infidels". To those people he's a martyr......but so what?

Now...if some of the survivors/ family of survivors went out and lit candles at ground zero (or some sort of memorial) I could see that, but people were partying like their hometown team won the super bowl. I think we kinda lowered ourselves there. Just my opinion.

I see a lot of people chiding the revelers. The more I think about it, the more I can see their point.

However: when the most charitable nation on Earth dances in the street because you're dead, then you really deserved it.

Something just felt right about it. Then again, maybe I'm just a bad person.

Who says they really got him....this whole thing sounds like a conspiracy to me..no proof whatsoever...who buries someone a few hours after killing him??

I think they wanna get people mind off the gas prices and all the other f'd up B.S. before the elections come up

Oh Geez. The guy is dead. The reason they can't say the location of his for lack of a better word burial spot it so they won't have any memorials. Is it a good P.R. move, hell yeah. Is it a conspiracy? Hell no, a group of Navy Seals had a shootout, took out Bin Laden and that's that.
As for all of those celebrations, well it's fu**ed up but I can't say I'm too surprised.
But if I had lost someone near and dear to me in the 9/11 attacks I don't know how I would react hearin Bin Laden was dead.

I think if I'd lost someone in the terrorist attacks, I'd feel mixed emotions. Happy that he's dead, but sad that it would remind me of what happened that terrible day. I'm sure that's how people are feeling.

There was debate on whether bin Laden's picture should be shown to the public, but Obama refused to do so. I think that's a good call because I really don't want to see the picture of him being dead.

Showing the picture will not stop the conspiracy theorists from saying that he wasn't killed. They'll say the picture was photoshopped....or that it wasone of his doubles....or whatever.

I'm glad they aren't showing it. Mostly because i'd rather not be shown a graphic picture of someone who was shot in the forehead by a high power rifle. It can't be something good to look at. And you know if they released it there would be no avoiding it.

I remember when they killed Saddam Hussein's sons Uday and Qusay and put those pictures out. Horrifying.

It basically all comes down to whether or not you care to believe the government on this. I believe them. Why lie about it?

Apparently there's been photos circulating of the other men killed in the raid...as if that's somehow LESS Inflamatory than a picture of America's scapegoat.

Yes it's stupid and in poor taste....but also pretty funny to play with:
What's Osama bin watchin? (www.tomscott.com/osama/)

In case you don't recognise the picture....it's footage they got off one of the computers picked up in the raid.....Osama liked to watch himself on TV.

This really concerns me bc Obama doesn't have the best track record with "thrawting" terrorist attacks, Bush had a better track record than Obama... I am also afraid that Obama will get re-elected by Osama's death.....

Hey...not all of us are like that. I know I think "Birthers" are nuts, and that Osama's dead (though I think he might not have been pitched overboard.) and think if Obama says he's a Christian, he is and it's really none of my business how worships anyway...and I disagree with Obama on lots of stuff.

My only problem that I had with this is that he was pretty much a fake S.O.B through the whole incident. He took the entire credit for taking down Osama "I killed him, I took him down!" ect He wasn't on the ground he did come up with the plans for it, he didn't do jack. He simply said "Yeah lets go kill him!!"

the other thing he said God bless America about 5 times and he not even christian... He is pluralist from what I have been told. I have a problem with this bc he gives the appearence of a christian faith....

And I dont mind have a black president I cant wait till we have a good honest black president. I jst hate having an Arabic president with obvious muslim ties...

I also dont like the fact it took him 4 freakn years to show us a birth certificate! I wouldn't be surprised if he had that crap forged.

But I have no doubt that Osama is dead and I think that the leaders of our country should be in everyone's thoughts and prays, including Obama.

And see, this is cool. I respect that people have different philosophies. And I hate Move On.org as much as I hate extreme right wing activists. Extremism does nothing for anyone.

But there seem to be an awful lot of otherwise regular people who believe every single conspiracy theory that is presented to them and to me that just seems like they are looking for any other thing to latch on to to hate this particular president.....just because tthey don't want to be labled as a racist.

Anyway that's all I'm gonna say on this subject anymore.
