Obama authorized it so it's not murder. It's like banning trolls.
So have USA realy bravely murdered one more person?
im happy he is dead but this is not the end of the war he has someone to take over for him. Oh yeah and the anti muslim comments all over the internet are really annoying for someone with muslim family members like me.
Maybe, maybe not...
He might enjoy the pinacoladas at some CIA safe house, for all we know.
Being a CIA agent, retirement perks ought to be substantional.
BBC Radio reports Osama Bin Laden was killed "by US Personnel" by "an American Asset" in a mansion near Islamabad (Pakistan), so there may be issues of toe-stepping. If it wasn't a drone, and it wasn't sanctioned by the Pakistantis, then it could be considered an Act of War.It is true that the U.S. is claiming to have Osama bin Laden's body, which would seem to indicate it's not just a drone.
Wasn't he friend of Bush-family?
True, there is lot more out there and more will come after him... It's a long way to go, if done wrong way...
Osaba Bin Laden has been killed?
Wasn't he friend of Bush-family?There are connections between Bush and the larger Bin-Laden family, yes .. That family is one of the richest and most influential families in Saudi-Arabia.
There are linguists who claim that the Quran was actually written in a dialect of Arabic that was heavily influenced by Arameic. Their reasoning is that there are certain passages in the Quran that don't make perfect sense in pure arabic .. but which are perfectly reasonable when certain words are interpreted as Arameic.Show Image(http://canv.as/ugc/processed/5a2a825d013a195cc16951d1444aba2a46c8b27f.jpeg)
Well...they finally got him without an expensive trial.
Anyway, I suspect they knew were he was for quite a while. The final conclusion was probably timed to produce the maximum political impact.I don't belive that. Osama has slipped the net before and I belive that when they knew his whereabouts they hitted as soon as possible.

i love how christians rag on islam when their religion is no more substantiated :lol:
That's bull****. Do you ever hear of "radical christians" suicide bombing hundred of people? Didn't think so.Nah, they just bomb abortion clinics, persecute homosexuals and commit the occasional genocide
P.S. I dunno about anyone else but I'm in doubt that this actually happened...They must believe they got Bin Laden (not a body double) in order to make the statement, even the stupidest politician will realise that they will look very stupid if Bin Laden appears on Al Jazeera in a day or two holding up a current newspaper or something to prove that he is still alive
Nah, they just bomb abortion clinics, persecute homosexuals and commit the occasional genocideI agree, now we go after the crazy christians and terrorism will finally be over!
Anyway, I suspect they knew were he was for quite a while. The final conclusion was probably timed to produce the maximum political impact.So they made sure that the Canadian politicians would have to wait an extra day before commenting on it?
Oh yeah and the anti muslim comments all over the internet are really annoying for someone with muslim family members like me.Think of how Obama must feel.
Edit: I think it's funny how Ekaros criticizes USA foreign policy regarding terrorism, yet lives in a country that no terrorist would EVER want to attack. Why? Because it's too f***ing cold!!!
All the dumbass Christianity haters in this thread can get ****ed. Your intolerance of religion is the root of terrorism.
People who commit acts of terror are not true Christians so don't blame the religion, dumbass.
nah I think people taking religion too seriously is the root of terrorism
People who commit acts of terror are not true ChristiansAnd perhaps they're not true Muslims either.
to absolve your sins by initiating a crusade 6x over (how many were there?)Apparently, there were nine principal crusades, plus the crusade against the Albigensians, which had nothing to do with the Muslim world, and the ineffective Children's Crusade.
Still, has those christians ever realy followed what Jesus did say? Don't think so...
As we are all humans, not a single one of us is perfect. Good Christians try to follow Christ's example as best they can.
As we are all humans, not a single one of us is perfect. Good Christians try to follow Christ's example as best they can.
Yeah, true Christians call people dumbasses and tell them to get ****ed.
You better read your Bible again. I think somewhere in there it says something like "... and Jesus said, 'He that believeth in me, though he were a dumbass, yet shall he not get ****ed.'"
I don't belive that. Osama has slipped the net before and I belive that when they knew his whereabouts they hitted as soon as possible.
For Obama the political risks of delaying an operation for short time political gains would have been to great.
If Obama had postponed an operation and Osama had got away it's absolutley certain that someone in intelligence would have leaked that info to the press. Goodbye to re re-election would have been a minor set-back in Obamas agenda.
Nice how these threads bring out the best in casual racism, jingoism and conspiracy theories :lol:

Team Six FTW
doesn't tom clancy write about these guys or something?
Yep. The navy seals are pretty leet.
One of my wife's friends was married to a Navy Seal. Would tell us stories about jumping out of helicopter into the sea at night. Unfortunately a bit of a sad story of a vet having trouble adjusting to the homeland and alcoholism though - that marriage didn't last.
Never happens. The french one always runs away or surrenders first.

I thought even Laden himself was not making it a religious fight. From what I understand (and please correct me if I'm wrong) Laden's goal was to retaliate against US oppression.
The religion was only accessory by mean of endorsement.

lol ***** ain't gonna get in the way of double-tapping osama.
it's acceptable collateral damage imo.sound familiar, terrorists?
it's acceptable collateral damage imo.
At least we won't have to put up with a smirking video when the 10th anniversary of his best-known atrocity comes around.
To me it seems more like an episode of "24".
No pics of Dead Osama.I wish Obama had made the other decision, but I fully understand his reasons not to be seen as in any way responsible for provoking the murderous attacks that are sure to come from the terrorists in the future in any event.
I like pics.
Edit: Whoops - the woman was killed.What the confusion was, is that initial reports said that one of Osama's wives was killed. In fact, it was another woman who was killed instead. At least, that's how I understood the succession of news reports.
EU has good lawyers. We have the Navy Seals.
Meanwhile the EU is proving very good at issuing warrants at Libyan henchmen.
That's bull****. Do you ever hear of "radical christians" ....
There are radicals in all religions, denying this fact is to be naive.Right now, though, the radical Christians who go around killing people are only found in a few places... like Uganda. Although they seem to have had encouragement from the U.S.. Of course, there's that Phelps guy, and Mike Huckabee mused about repealing the First Amendment.
Religion is usually just a catalyzer for the violence, the fuel is economy.
Gold, diamonds, petrol, food and water.
The fact is that we, westerners, are living consuming the 80% of the resources of the planet and the rest of the people are living with the rest.
Religion or not this is a major problem, and the condition of the poorer populations is the problem.
Religions are just the spark to made this discomfort evident.
We have a BIG problem, and the problem is not one or another kind of religion, is the unevenness of the conditions trough the different nations.
Until this will not solved (or at least understood) catching a single "terrorist" will solve nothing.
I still belive that USA's own actions are the reason for terrorism...
We wore a short skirt, so it's ok to rape us?

Yet another abysmally stupid Ekaros quote.
Do you think that ANY action taken by the US would satisfy Islamic terrorists? What *concrete* actions could be taken to help the terrorists decide that the US is a pretty groovy place?
Bomb Israel? Round up the Jews and poison gas them all? Convert the entire world to Islam at the barrel of a gun? Replace the Statue of Liberty with a statue of Ahmadinejad?
Please, enlighten us on the proper path.
Not much anymore... USA shouldn't have done some stuff in first place... Circle of revenge, works both ways...

I still belive that USA's own actions are the reason for terrorism...What did the Byzantine Empire ever do to Umar ibn al-Khattab?
In 1947, because Jews who legally and peacefully settled in the British Mandate of Palestine were being subjected to acts of violence -
What was the Arab population of what is now Israel in 1940?
....Israel in 1940? Anyone? What nation controlled that land? How many "Palestinian" Arabs were violently driven out of "Palestine" by Allied Troops or Jews? How many Arabs were slaughtered in this supposed "theft"?How can you be so sure it is real ?
Read the real historical accounts,....5 minutes of CNN CliffsNotes.
I like how most of the posters in this thread are foreigners from wussy ass countries that hide behind the Hague and the Geneva Convention.

We have more atomic bombs than anybody else.
Especially the Italians. After WW2 nobody STILL trusts them to be competent enough to even build a nuclear plant.
Jews in palestine were just 80000 in 1922 v.s. 4 millions of arabs, if that percentage of people gives a title to made that territory their state, I think that Irish or Italians can take control of US, right ?It certainly is true that many in the Arab world perceive the creation of the State of Israel as unfair for this kind of reason.
No matter how look at the question that was a theft, a not justifiable theft, and US (most of the western countries) are still paying for this.
If I break the Ripster's car and someone decide that Ripster can take your car as refund how do you call it ? Justice ?
This is exactly what happened in palestine
It doesn't change the fact, that N millions of Arabs doesn't have a Nation, because two or three countries equipped with the atomic bomb have decided elsewhere.The trouble is that the Islamic world started it.
That's the only form of international right applied here.
You should also explain why an arab organization that want to impose it's form of religion is evil, while US when killed (directly or indirectly) thousands of people in latin america, central america and so on, are not.
If you want respect from someone, Arab people included, you have to start acting as you pretend the others do
It doesn't change the fact, that N millions of Arabs doesn't have a Nation, because two or three countries equipped with the atomic bomb have decided elsewhere.Actually, that isn't how it happened.
Yes, one could criticize Britain for being colonialist in allowing Jews to settle in Palestine. But the problems faced by Palestinians today are the result of the attempt of the Arab world to resolve the matter with force.
This video WILL be offensive to foreigners.
What does that have to do with the topic which is taking out Osama?
Actually that big step thing was a misquote. Damn that used to bug me.
We simply should accept that using the force to solve something is always wrong, or is always right.If we say it is always wrong, then those who use force to create injustices are left to get away with doing what they want. If we say it is always right, then people are always fighting over everything.
In America real men go to barbers.
Part of what makes this country great.
The trouble is that the Islamic world started it.
There was violence against Jews before the partition of 1947. That's why the partition took place. Further losses of territory came about because the Arab world didn't cut its losses, but instead resorted to further attacks.
Well actually...I'm astonished. I would have been sure that Canada was behind the United States in this vital statistic, because our larger proportion of Inuit (see "Man, the Peculiar Animal") would be bringing down our average - while your average would be improved by those tall, slim basketball players you have.
I would have been sure that Canada was behind the United States.
