Typhoon Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Looks like Obama got Osama. It's about time, nearly 10 years after the World Trade Center tragedy. It's too bad they didn't take him alive. They may have got some useful information out of him. Tony
FenrisWlf Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I am glad they did not kill him with a drone or missile....We killed him face to face and he had time to feel fear. 2
NS13Jarhead Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 AP and NBC reported that he was using a woman as a human shield. I would have expected nothing less. They also reported that he's already been buried at sea. Any sailors out there should be familar with the term "pump and dump"
Flyby PC Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Well, you know what they say, once mass murdering terrorists move into your street, bang goes the neighbourhood. Well done US SEALs. I'd have preferred to see him taken alive, but in these austere times, a bullet in the head and burial at sea in a plastic bag sounds like excellent value for money.
Shiloh Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Finally the victims of 9-11 and their families may find some peace.
+Hasse Wind Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Good news. It would have been best if he had been caught alive and then forced to go before a court of law, but this is the next best thing.
JFM Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Personally, I prefer him dead than captured so I am quite happy. I hope they release the photos of his body because I need some new wallpaper.
+Hasse Wind Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I just wonder how long the Pakistani intelligence has known Osama's location, and what made them share that information with the Americans. Looking at the location of the house Osama was hiding in, it seems quite incredible that he could have stayed there for so long without any support from the Pakistani.

Looking at the location of the house Osama was hiding in, it seems quite incredible that he could have stayed there for so long without any support from the Pakistani. It's definitely a smoking gun against our "allies" the Pakistani's. I sometimes wonder what would have been for Pakistan if Benazir Bhutto hadn't been assassinated. She was hated by the Islamic hard liners. Edited May 2, 2011 by Lewie
UK_Widowmaker Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Well, not before time...the best thing is the loss of earnings for Al Queda. I dont think we can blame the Pakistanis..after all, they would have shared information with the CIA
Lewie Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Did anyone see a video, that Bin Laden is dead? Apparently some guy living in the immediate neighborhood next to OBL's compound, Tweeted about the attack.. IT consultant indavertantly Tweets Bin Laden's coupound attack
Parky Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 It's too bad they didn't take him alive. They may have got some useful information out of him. Yeah, like tourism advice or recommendations for any of the nicer 5 Star caves he's stayed in over the years. Cheers, Parky
UK_Widowmaker Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 They should have captured Bin Laden alive and made him continually go through airport security for the rest of his life...
Javito1986 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 As a researcher of Muslim studies at the school, this guy has done more harm to Muslims around the world than anyone else in recent memory. Hope he enjoys hell. Also as an American who knows people lost on the planes on 9/11 and soldiers lost in Afghanistan... again, hope he enjoys hell! Some people find it bad form to celebrate the death of someone. But those individuals have never left their safe Midwestern abodes. Speaking as a well traveled individual who's "seen some s***", I can safely say there are very bad people out there who deserve a good killing. UBL is at the top of the list. Cheers
Parky Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Well, Either he'll be going straight to Hell or he'll be going to sit at the right hand of Allah, as all good martyrs believe they will. If that turns out to be the case, according to Islam, he should also be presented with 72 virgins. I sincerely hope they're all men. Cheers, Parky
Javito1986 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 It's definitely hell. Qur'an has fun things to say about terrorists, not much positive. Also the 72 virgins thing is a myth brought about by mistranslation ;-) Point is, UBL = very dead. Whoot
Javito1986 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I was thinking that this has been a pretty crappy decade all around. I recognize it's not rational and there were many issues that plagued us, but in my mind the real "beginning" of this last decade's crappiness was 9/11. So part of me hopes this marks a symbolic end and we can start to move on. Wishful thinking?
+CrazyhorseB34 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 http://combatace.com/topic/64703-osama-bin-laden-is-dead/ Have you guys not seen this thread? Wonder why we need a separate OFF Osama is dead thread. One tribe ya'll.
Javito1986 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Yes yes that forum is all good, but we're BIPLANE pilots with silk scarves. We don't get along with those jet age chaps with their tinted visors and fancy pants g-forces.
+CrazyhorseB34 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Point taken and good points you made over there Javito.
UK_Widowmaker Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 you cannot have too many threads about him being eaten by the Fishes!
