    I'm sure they took pictures and all that gruesome crap.

    I saw a photo earlier; it had not been verified as authentic, but photos already are on-line. Disclaimer, as I am not someone who goes around looking for such evidence: Andrew Sullivan posted a link to the photo early this morning as part of his coverage, without warning/explanation of what the link contained.

    I saw this one out there, I don't think it was photoshopped at all :lol:

    Anyway, good riddance!!!! Now maybe we can get our troops out of those countries over there!!! Plus I saw the "real" photo online, BRUTAL....looks authentic to me!

    It will be a long time before troops leave. Oh and the 'real' photo is not real.

    Pakistan is totally corrupt so yes, I imagine many people knew and were paid off...

    You know, he may be dead but his iconic status and idealogies are not.... with all the jumping about outside the whitehouse being beemed around the world, those idealogies will be strengthened. Today is good for the families of those he killed, but not good for the world in general.

    Islamic terrorists are not now going to shrug their shoulders and think "well, thats that over with then".

    Al-Zawiri: stil alive
    Abu al-libi: still alive
    Khald al-habib: still alive
    adnan el shukrijumah: still alive
    saif al-adel: still alive

    the list goes on......

    Yeah, Pakistan has some explaining to do I think.

    I agree with you about his iconic status.

    The only difference between those guys and bin Laden is, bin Laden had the unique ability to rally people around his cause and create a global following. When people join al Qaeda they pledge personal oaths of loyalty to bin Laden. He was charismatic. He had skins on the wall. The image he built for himself as defender of Islam against Soviet aggression in the 80s and against the US in the 2000s was a point of inspiration amongst his followers and that will not be easy to replicate.

    Terrorism existed long before bin Laden and will exist long after, but this man put a face on it. He changed "normal" for everyone around the world. Those guys you listed are dangerous men to be sure. And there are many more just like them. But they are small potatoes compared to bin Laden. I think it will be very difficult for someone else to just step in and take his place.

    All that said, congrats and thanks to the US troops and intelligence community that made this happen. And a prayer for the victims of 9/11 and all who have suffered as a result over the years.

    And SolarWorld emerging from his parent's basement to call us slaves and give some recommendations on conspiracy movies.

    We are all slaves. It's called the monetary system. Each person is worth 9.5 million dollars to the government, look it up.
    As Ed said in Uniondale: USA! USA! USA! That's my take!

    100 to 1 Ed is NOT chanting USA USA USA this morning. This very mentality is one of the main reasons I see myself leaving this country in the future. It's embarrassing. Thank god for dual citizenship.

    I like when people speak for Ed who don't know a fucking thing about him. It's refreshing to know so much about a man I admire through the thoughts of what others perception of him to be. If Ed were like any other American, and I believe him to be (not speaking FOR him), he's pleased that Osama is off the face of the earth.

    It's more important to me. It's great that they caught Bin Laden....but it's not like I was doing cartwheels over it like I would over a PJ20 announcement.

    Not really, he was concerned with flying to the U.S.

    It's understandable. I had a trip to the U.S booked for late November, then 9/11 happened, so I postponed my trip til the following year, not knowing what this would bring and mean for the following months. And this was one of the 1st things I discussed with my wife/then girlfriend who was going to the U.S with me. There was a lot of uncertainty.

    Maybe not so much now, but this still raises conserns and the Australian government has issued travel warnings here in the hours following the news, as there is a now increased chance of terrorist attacks.

    as i post in the other thread,,fear is the first feeling i felt watching the news after 9/11...
    and so many people i talk and see,they feel the same feeling..and you know what..how many of us,didnt feel fear,or weird,or strange,or unsafe when u saw an dark guy look muslim at the same flight with yours???
