Osama Bin Laden Dead

[SpeedKills]

God bless America, and the troops that served during Bin Laden's reign. I won't say I'm glad he's dead, but it's a relief. I have friends overseas.

Well, he's now a Martyr and we are no less safe. Next scumbag up. Stay on your toes, folks.
[/quote]

IMO, those who will martyr him are insignificant. We've been systematically decapitating Al Queada for years. Their leadership has to be questioning their willingness to lead any further. I heard Bin Laden shielded himself with a woman. Doesn't sound like a man as willing to die as he had claimed. Besides, I doubt they have much of a budget anymore.

Something to think about from @EricFidler:

[i]Remember on Sept 12, 2001, when you saw people in some places abroad celebrating death? Exactly. Don't be like that.[/i]

This whole statement is a joke in its entirety.

1: So if one person who considers Bin Laden a martyr kills just one person, thats insignificant?

2: You can never kill as many terrorists in a day than are being created that same day. I can promise you, four were killed in this firefight and hundreds, if not thousands now hate us more than ever.

3: You really think religious zealot leaders question their willingness to lead a holy war?

4: Who knows what really happened. If it makes it easier to digest that he dies a coward, so be it. He lived like a coward as well. Moot point. Those who follow him will dismiss this information nugget.

5: Really, you think theres any shortage of money in the world to fund actions intended to harm America? Really? Sorry, thats the dumbest thing Ive heard in months.

Nice job U.S. Navy Seals!!!

I don't. It's just going to give conspiracy theorists a reason to believe the government is evil and that Osama really isn't dead...

The smart move would to have shown pictures of his dead remains. If we can stomach watching people fall from the twin towers, then I think we can watch that [i]<person's>[/i] dead face.

OUTSTANDING news! Props to our SEALs! Props all around!

Now, after going through numerous articles, I have a question. Where does this leave Pakistan? I mean, yes, President Obama did say that we had the cooperation of President Asif Zardari, but did we really? To have a million dollar hideout set up so close to a Pakistani military base... someone must've known [i]something[/i], right?

Totally and completely agree. How do we just dump his body at sea? I told my wife last night his dead face would be all over the news this morning and she didnt understand. I said the American people would demand proof of his death. Oh well. Guess we just have to trust our government, HA!

[Wacko4Zacko]

Wait why do we fear next leader?

Do governnment have pictures?

The only thing I can think of to explain that is that what happened to the Twin Towers was extremely public which is an extreme contrast to the covert operations of what went down last night.

When thousands of people witness something, it's kinda hard to block it from the media.

[Hjulmann]

I've got a weird feeling about all this mumbo jumbo.. Feels like we are kinda celebrating too much and too early...

Sidenote: I want to go to Afghanistan to fight

There will be photos. And I could care less about conspiracy theorists. They live in their own world, not ours.

A burial at sea leaves NO place to visit him. He's gone and that's the best we could have hoped for: No trial, no monologues, no burial site.

Excuse me?? You need to do your homework before you attempt engage me in a debate. They have not successfully attacked us in 10 years. You can start with that. And you're right, I only know what was reported, but it was reported that he was using a woman as a human shield. I guess you can list yourself as conspiracy theorist #1 on this issue.

I didn't say there was a shortage of money in the world, but now that we're reestablished our personal intelligence community, that money will be traced and anyone with a means of funding terrorism against, will have to consider the consequences. Those who are not concerned about the consequences do not have the funds to attack us on any grand scale.

If one Bin Laden lover kills one American, then that is a tragedy, but are you going to compare that to what happened on 9/11 or on the USS Cole, or at our embassy's in Africa, etc??? Because THAT is about the dumbest thing I can think of.

So you ARE one of the Sheeple. No, I study history and I keep up on current events. I also manage to think for myself without being a conspiracy theorist.

Um.....no. I cant make sense of anything you're saying. While I dont subscribe to conspiracy theories much, I would think that by definition, they think for themselves more than most people.....

Anywho...I'm glad I attained the title "Mr." though, thanks!

I am happy he's dead. I believe he's dead. I'd just, along with many others, love some physical proof. Thats not paranoia, just good detective work.

[Wacko4Zacko]

I want proof he is dead. I really just want to see pictures of him so i can feel 100% safe. I am only about 95% sure he is dead, but pictures would make it 100 for me.

I would use the term "think" loosely there. I'm glad he's dead too. I almost wish we could have eliminated him quietly, but as soon as you think about it, there's really no gratification in that. But I love the choice to deny his followers (and him) any place to go to mourn his death. I could care less what any waste-of-skin conspiracy theorist says, and neither should you.

Osama bin Laden's body was taken out to sea and dumped in the North Arabian Sea from the deck of the USS Carl Vinson (pictured above) ... officials have confirmed.
The Pentagon claims bin Laden's body went through traditional Islamic procedures before it was sent down to Davy Jones' locker -- procedures which included a washing of the corpse.

See? We can agree on something! This I agree with from beginning to end.

I've thought he's been dead for some time. There were reports quite some time back that he was hurt seriously and with the size of the bombs we were dropping back then, he could have been vaporized for all we knew.

I love the fact they say they "dumped" his body overboard. Like refuse. Love it.

I would really love to know exactly how it all went down. Sounds like something out of a Clancy novel. All those SEALS have wallets out of Pulp Fiction, the ones that say Bad Mother(trucker).

If we as American or just citizens of earth can gut pictures/videos of JFK assassination, Princess diana death, Saddam hanging, Katrina disaster.

Then we should be able to gut photos of dead Osama.
