Osama bin Laden

Snokio · May 04, 2011, 06:48:22 PM

Now we all know he is no longer breathing (Thank goodness!) but the details are somewhat shady :g:

Was he unarmed?, did he use his wife as a shield? Double tap death? etc etc, Not so much who, what and when, but all these inaccuracies will cause people to disbelieve or question whether he is actually dead.

I think they will now need to release pictures, not just for those disbelievers, but to show Al Qaida that their leader is dead, but would it actually help stop terrorists activities? or just fuel them on?

Patiently waiting for facts to emerge from the speculation, before forming an opinion

Seems wrong to me that they didn't try to take him alive, but like I said... we don't know what happened yet, perhaps we never will.

This probably ought to be in the Seriously section...

Good call, so now it is.

That confused me, I tried to move it from here to er....here.

Anyway, if anyone wants to here my Bin laden joke, I'll be on Arma later this week. It's worth it.

I don't think we should give Bin Laden any more of our time. The guy was a mass-murdering-dirtbag.. He got what he deserved.

I'm also glad they chucked him in the sea (if that is indeed what they did).

Move on.. Nothing to see here.

Was listening to radio 1 this morning USA Have updated their story of what happen to in their words the "correct events that happend" - and trust me its different to the original story completly, while Obama says he doesnt want the image of bin laden to be released the head of the CIA Said it will be.

Somthings funny going on to undermine the president anyway...the world needs to see the proof that the horrible man is really dead.

Perhaps Im just a little too gullible but I think he's dead, no way the yanks would bluff this. Imagine what would happen if he turned up in years to come.

Personally I hope they knelt him down and executed him in front of his wife.

Counter-terrorists win!

I don't believe in any images these days. I'm getting quite good at Photoshop myself.

Funniest thing I heard recently was Victoria Derbyshire on Radio5 on Monday.
Talking to a Pakistani Correspondent, she asked, "tell us a bit about Abbottabad"
I spluffed coffee out of my nose:roflmao:

Well it's better than having some knob head say 'yea, he's dead, we got him, just take my word for it and you can thank me later'.

A friend linked me to that and I tend to share its viewpoint. Just another election tool and a crap one at that.

I think he's dead. I just don't buy the situation one bit. No matter what he may or may not have done he should not have been executed without trial. He may have claimed responsibility for several crimes, but without a proper trial we'll not hear his side of the story. It wouldn't be the first time someone has taken credit for something they didn't do. If I said I did it, should I be executed?

I suspect either they've known where he has been for a while, or they've had conclusive proof that he's dead and they've just been waiting for the right time to either Kill or announce he's dead.

It would have been better if he went to trail and be ultimatly found guilty should of let him rot in jail
