    I just noticed Osama and Obama sound similar lol

    Well here is a little fun fact, Osama is really like this, 'Usama', but after 9/11, due to propaganda and sensitivity issues, the media changed the spelling to 'Osama', as Usama (with the USAma) was too similar to the famous and well written American chant of "USA USA USA" (repeated as many times as you like)

    But, but, but.....he didn't get the right to a fair trial. Innocent until proven guilty right?
    His killing was barbaric wasn't it?

    If you remember my thread about the child sex offender the other day you will know what I am on about....
    .i would like to see bill landen get caught,put him in trial and make them told us,who give him money all this years,who help me hiding,why they couldnt find him all this years...

    where did you here that?

    there is no way they have done anything with the body yet in the way of disposing it. they will be doing test on this thing for weeks to prove to the world and the Muslim community it is who they say it is.

    under the heading of "handling the body" or something to that affect.


    I just heard on the news here they plan to bury him at see, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

    They said that on CNN...that he has already been buried at sea.

    Whilst it would seem the US dance in the street at the news of Bin Laden's death thinking all is well now, he was just a 'figurehead' for the different american administrations - someone to point the finger at. Bush administration decided straight away after 9/11 that he was the culprit with no 'research', no proof, no nothing (as we may all recall, he had a personal 'vendetta' against Bin Laden).

    Bin Laden's death won't change anything at all. How many lives were lost because of this vendetta against one man (who, it would seem, no longer held that much weight in the controlling his part of the organisation)? And he was found in a mansion? After all these years intelligence thinking he was hiding in caves?

    Al Qaeda is strong. It's structure is such that it's not a 'unified' group but various groups with looser or tighter ties (or even no association whatever) between the groups. Bin Laden's group was just one of them. 'We' are not safer now that Bin Laden is dead, but I guess it can make the americans feel better as that's why they went to Afghanistan to start with.

    Wow how quickly the conspiracies and jaded Debbie downers come out.

    We got that MFer. Period. Figurehead or not we finally got him. This is awesome. Shot in the head like the pig that he was.

    Just thought I'd check this thread and am not surprised at the childish and also downright evil things people have to say.

    When I see people dancing and singing in the streets celebrating someone's death, I think we look no different than the people in the middle east doing similar things.

    Yeah because everyone will light a candle on the streets and reflect on the loss of Osama.
    What world do you live in?
    The guy was a mass murderer.

    Saying people singing and dancing and celebrating in the streets is wrong is not saying that we should light a candle. You live in a black and white only world, huh? I guess things are simpler that way.

    Not really I have grey areas to.
    You honestly do not expect people not to celebrate after all these years of hell.
    Fuck this monster ruined my life and everyone in my generations life growing up.
    The world went shit after that 9/11, most of my youth was spent worrying about if my city will be hit next, police stopped a cell here in Melbourne from carrying out an attack.
    All we had was fear on TV.
    Good riddance, If I was in the USA I'd be celebrating.

    I wasn't questioning if he was buried at sea. I totally understand why it happened.

    I think the "yeah right" is what is crazy. We will get the proof. No doubt about it.

    Again, you do not read the words I write. You read what you want to and add your own spin.

    I didn't say I didn't expect them to celebrate. People are people and most of them do lots of things that I don't like.

    What I said was they look just like the people (middle easterners) that they oppose.

    So far you've made two posts that put words in my mouth (figuratively).

    It is hard not to form that opinion when you mention that about celebrating making people in the USA look like middle easterners. It seems like you are not happy with the celebrating, just the vibe I get when I read that.

    Well take it at face value and don't try and interpret it for anything other than what it is.

    For that matter, I didn't even say it was a bad thing. Just that the celebrations look to me much like the celebrations that are shown on video of middle easterners celebrating someone's death. I stand by that statement.

    People in the middle east fire guns into the air, do these sounds (cannot explain it here) and burn things.
    All I saw on the news were people chanting U.S.A and jumping up and down.

    I was honestly waiting to see someone burning an afghan or iraq flag, but being Americans they probably didn't know what they looked like.

    so let me get this straight...

    did I hear?....

    he was hiding in plain sight in a mansion not far from Pakistan?

    not one of our forces were injured in a 40 minute gun battle?

    and the body was disposed of immediately ... tossed in the ocean??

    just saying.... proof?

    And I would rather he was taken alive and tried for his crimes... no celebrating here for me.

    Same here. I do not condone Bin Laden in any way, shape or form, but I also never find happiness in anyone's death.

    The poster child is gone, eh?

    Well, I definitely hope someone (and maybe many) who was directly affected by the acts of 9/11 find some type of closure through the death of this cog. The feelings associated to this figure range from the lowest to the highest of emotions, some good & some bad, but at the end of the day the world (we know) is a better place without him.

    Yeah he was in a mansion - a compound with a wall and barbed wire and guards-
    in a town just north of the capital
    and they landed in there, shot and killed him, his son, a woman (who was apparently used as a human shield) and two other messengers or something

    they took the body to afghanistan and then buried it in the sea after asking Saudi Arabia who refused to take it

    I too would have preferred a trial - as many others would, just to get some info from him
    and proof but at the same time
    But what's done has been done and now I'm worried for the future, for those who will seek revenge

    Yep - it's sad that the cycle of revenge never stops. It will never end until one side decides not to seek revenge....or one side is gone completely. It's sad.

    I've found that my life is a lot better after I decided not to worry about things I can't control and ESPECIALLY things that haven't happened and are VERY LIKELY not to happen.

    What happens, will happen. NO amount of worry will change it. It will only be precious time on earth that you lost worrying for no reason.
