I think they are bringing his head and body back to the USA, or atleast what is left of it. Hopefully, they will mount what is left of him at the World Trade Center for you and everybody to see.....Quote:

I wish this forum allowed us to give "positive rep" to members for posts. Because with that, I could give you some longer lasting praise. Short of that, I can just take my hat off to you for that timely (and damn witty) reply! I'm sure there are some tighty righties who are busy trying to find fault with this. And let me be the first to turn the tables and tell any of them that do: America, love it or leave it, biatches!!! :p :Quote:

I'm glad he's been killed, but what you're stating is disgusting. Conduct an autopsy on the ****er, document all evidence, and bury Osama. The sooner the better, so America can move forward and deal with the war in Afghanistan.Quote:

drawn and quartered, as the real brits used to do it, slow and painful. :s mokin:Quote:

But prepare yourselves; if you thought that burning a koran would set off the savages, i would guess they will be jumping around all over the place after croaking Osama, like a bunch of cockroaches when you turn on the lights
they need to burn the body, turn it to ashes, and spread it in the wind

A European nutter and Obama hater (actually just an average racist) is claiming that it's not really Osama and if it is, Obama had the body hidden and is just now rolling it out in a staged event. I tell ya what, the Deathers and the Birthers can dream up the most elaborate conspiracy theories I've ever seen. It alarms me to think that many of these people have probably reproduced... and their spawn may affect our futures.Quote:

My view is this is also in part a result of Obama's sweettalking the Pakistanis better than his predecessor did. What say you roaming bobs ? :p
Is it just me or does this coverage not sound as euphoric as I would have expected after Public Enemy #1 is finally nabbed ?

Justice served although it would have been a lot better to get him alive but that obviously wasn't possible.
Bob can't come to the phone right now, DonKey. I can't see too well from here. But there's something going on at his house that involves an ambulance, two cars full of cops, a straight jacket, some guys with a net and one holding a tranquilizer gun.Quote:

Pakistan has a lot to answer for here.
Pretty stoked. :D
Indeed, his compound was only 100 metres from a Pakistani military academy. Dubious.Quote:

Questions that will be answered in the following days and months, no doubt.
Nonetheless, for the next few days people should simply be relieved at this moment in history. :up:
They certainly doQuote:

Trust an Indian person to blame Pakistan.....
Reportedly, the large, off-the-grid compound was just 100 metres from a Pakistani military base.Quote:

That's my own opinion anyway, I'm not speaking for anyone else.
I'm sorry, but he probably looks like a loads of other Muslim men.
The immediate area around a military compound is probably the best place for a wanted man to hide.
Should he have hidden in a cave?
daniel it boils down to the fact that the CIA took 4+ years after the first lead to find an unusual man in an unusual place but found him in the end: you mean to say the ISI hadn't a clue who lived in this big fat bunker built 6 years ago in the middle of a peaceful neighbourhood ? If they didn't, they have a lot to answer for... if they did, go figure !
end of trollfeed :p
I simply don't see the logic in that statement. Do the ISI know who lives in every building in Pakistan? Do the CIA know who lives in every building in the US? The fact that Ozzy seemingly spent a lot of time in this place, yet the US spent most of its time looking for him in the mountains of Afghanistan and the tribal areas of Pakistan says it all. There is practically nothing that would have stopped Ozzy from crossing the border into India or into Bangladesh or wherever. But logic dictates that he would stay where his support base is strongest. Lets say for a moment that he had been in India? Would we then have accused India of supporting him? By this same logic, the US supported the people who flew the aircraft into the twin towers on the basis that they lived AND trained in the USA. No one would suggest that because of course it is in fact ridiculous.Quote:

For those who think Pakistan was happy to have Ozzy there because he was found near a military base, this might make some good reading for you :) http://www.wtc7.net/ :)
There's something really fishy about this guy being buried at sea .
Did he fall out of the plane or something ? That happens all the time .
They "took custody" of his body .
And , then dropped it the ocean ?
Fishy , fishy , fishy .
What's going on here ?

Nothing is going on. It's really simple: they don't want his followers to have a place to go to honour his memory. Muslims need to be buried within 24 hours of their death and Americans, very wisely, honoured that since the mission is accomplished, no need to make his followers/other muslims any more angry.Quote:

Buried or unburied, for fundamentalists the guy will become a martir anyway. The wise move would have been to catch him alive and to send him to court.
Been there. Done that. What was his name again? Sadam someone or other.Quote:
