Osama bin Laden is dead

[calculatingInfinity 1,443]

This will never, ever happen. It will just entice and aggravate the extremists even more. We'll be lucky to even see a photo, until we do see a photo mind you I don't believe it's true.

A photo will convince you? Honestly with the amount of very talented photoshoppers out there I bet the white house could get a few and do a very good photoshop if they had really lied about this.

Well he said so himself in one of his tapes. But as I said before I agree with you that celebrating his death is a bit disgusting, especially all the "Obama 1- Osama 0" shit but there is a pretty huge fucking difference from a soldier accidentally killing a innocent to someone aiming to kill innocent.

What about the soldiers who went into Afghan villages and raped the women and children? Or the soldiers in places like Abu Ghraib who tortured their prisoners? (btw, I'm not saying we should kill soldiers. Just using for an example sake)

Also, in regards to the tape, why are there at least 5 other tapes/recording prior to this of him clearly denying any involvement in 9/11, to suddenly turn around and admit it was him in the end? I find this very strange considering he has taken credit for other bombing like Dar Es Salaam & Nairobi

I'm very unsure that this actually happened at the moment. There is always going to be doubt, whether it be a photo or a video but it will definitely give me more confidence that it is true.

The soldiers who raped (or killed for the fun of it) should be sent to prison for a long long time. As I already said I don't agree with shooting him on the place if he didn't fight back but according to the US he did and they are the only source we got. Not sure about Abu Ghraib though, soldiers are there to take orders and do what they are told and if they were really told to torture them it should be whoever ordered them to do that who should go to prison which has of course already happened.

Why Bin Laden at first denied involvement I dont know, but he certainly did take credit for it later on and did so a couple of times.

I must stress, I do hope my views do not offend anyone. I'm against taking any life, evil or good. Nor am I promoting the death of soldiers or anything else like that.

Now as for the actual issue of Bin Laden's death. I still question the lack of evidence we're being provided. I find it very strange and suspicious his body was just dumped in the sea as has been said. There is no logical sense in this.

I read earlier on that they dumped it in the sea because they didn't want it being a shrine to extremists. Which is understandable, although they could've buried it in an unmarked grave and not told the location.

Yeah I understand that, but it's they must realise the whole world would ask questions about the authenticity of this operation. And by delaying to produce a photograph it just makes the doubters even more sus.

If he is dead. Then ok. I've made my point about not celebrating.

However this does not end "the war on terror". Till we're out of Iraq, Afghanistan & Libya it will not be over. Till we save Palestine it will not be over. Till the propaganda media of America.. Murdoch's empire, is broken up.

[Fulham Broadway 16,858]

Its one beardy rich twat for fucks sake who used to be George Bushs mate. If people are stupid enough to celebrate that they need their heads examined

The US media have made him into Freddy Kruger/ Bogey man and theres not one shred of evidence he had anything to do with 9/11. He just made a few propaganda videos and had ainfluence because he came from a millionaire Saudi family. Dick Cheney, fat wanker, still believes Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11.

Until the US stops bombing the fuck out of other countries-which by the way always seems to be those brown people, desperados will continue to strap explosives to themselves.

PS The US killed twice as many people by bombing Afghanistan in the 3 months after 9/11, than were killed in the twin towers. People who had no television, no internet, who didnt even know about 9/11

If Osama is not dead, all he has to do is make another video. Not only would that destroy Brack Obama's politcal career and image but the consequences for the whole of the USA would be disastrous on a scale never seen before.

Even if they did realse a picture of his corpse, it wont stop nutters like Alex Jones and other paranoid Conspiracy theorist from claiming its fake. Not to mention news channels like Russia Today showing crap news items on the suppose lie of Osama Bin Laden.

Bin Laden 'unarmed' when shot

Bin Laden 'unarmed' when shot

To be fair if I was a soldier and had the chance to shoot him between the eyes, armed or not, I would.

You being Chelsea's George Galloway won't like that, but I would!

Haha fair enough, I can understand why mate.

Bin Laden's death will cause a chain reaction of threats from al-Qaeda, and will put his 'image' as a matyr. No matter who is killed, or captured, there will always been another fanatic with similiar views that will step up to take over. From what i have read, bin Laden wasn't the 'brains' of the organistaion anyway.

[Henrique 9,133]

Bit of perspective needed I feel

Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are a product of US foregn policy.

The US corporations and government spend more on weapons than every country in the world combined.

Since World War 2 the US has intervened in over 200 foreign countries supporting right wing death squads and despots, and been involved in 20 wars killing over 9 million people. This makes Bin Laden look like a choirboy.

Just one example would be the sanctions on Iraq when it laid claim to Kuwait (which does belong to Iraq but the British drew a straight line in the sand in the 1920s to create this artificial country). Anyway, the sanctions on Iraq killed ovre 600 000 children and babies under 5 years old. Madeleine Albright, the US secretary of State at the time said ''It was a price worth paying.'' The US now own 80% of the oil wells in Kuwait and Iraq.

It is no wonder that through the millions it has slaughtered that you get people like Osama Bin Laden fighting back.

So you can say that Hitler was a product of UK and France because of the sanctions that were imposed to Germany after the Great War...

Bin Laden is a product of the human ignorance and of the religious extremism, any kind of extremism is bad, but religious extremism is really bad. The world would be a better place when guys like Bin Laden vanish forever.

"I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy."

I don't know about you guys. But in this lifetime, I've seen enough death. Be it Gadaffi's son, Bin Laden, Saddam Hussien. Enough. Justice does not equal death.

This.

Think there is a number 2, an Egyptian Doctor I believe, Ayman al-Zawahiri

He was meant to be bin Laden's mentor and pushed for him to cause many bombings.
