Osama Bin Laden confirmed Dead! - Page 3

*Storm Wolf* · 05-02-2011, 01:25 AM

Gobo I like this one better....

Anyways...Didn't think this would affect me so strongly. I know it sounds stupid but I was at work when they announced and was watching the news station with a coworker. we both looked at each other and said "Why are my eyes burning?"

I know this won't end our war and he probably has someone just waiting to fill his sandals but hell it feels a lot better knowing we have a bit of resolution.

That mean they're gonna 'flush' him? O_o

It's to prevent any monuments or whatever by terrorists. Chances are they won't really bury him at sea anyway. They're not going to let the real details out about what happens to him. I'm sure he's going to be sliced and diced six ways from Sunday.

That's how the FBI spells it.

seems to be many versions of his name due to the Arabic to English/non-Arabic spelling.

About time he took a dive

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.

*Katie* · 05-02-2011, 06:50 AM

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* · 05-02-2011, 07:17 AM

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.

*ToTheNines* · 05-02-2011, 07:40 AM

Great news, but I wonder who gets all of his money.

*ZariusTwo* · 05-02-2011, 08:30 AM

Good, now when does Bush get his?

*discordiatookie* · 05-02-2011, 09:27 AM

Good times! Tut tut on the "violation of Pakistan's borders', but I must say that i'm glad that it was US troops that caught the b*st*rd.

*Eiko* · 05-02-2011, 09:30 AM

Was so very happy when i heard the news of his death.

*Spitfire* · 05-02-2011, 09:49 AM

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.

*That Matt Guy* · 05-02-2011, 10:46 AM

So are there any pictures of his corpse? If not, let the conspiracy theories begin!

*Spitfire* · 05-02-2011, 10:49 AM

Yeah there is I woke up to one this morning. It was disturbing. I assume some army guy took it with his cell phone.

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.

*Andrew NDB* · 05-02-2011, 11:56 AM

I've heard it's a little sketchy about the head-shotting. i.e., possibly that his bodyguards had instructions that if it was looking likely he was about to be captured, they were to kill Osama before this could take place.

*BubblyShell22* · 05-02-2011, 12:03 PM

I just heard on the news that he was indeed buried at sea. Plastron, I get what you're saying about the whole martyr thing, but even if he had a fair trial and was sentenced to death then, he'd still be a martyr among those who supported him. As for me, I'm just glad that b*stard is dead and gone.
