Re: Usama bin Laden is dead
Who gives a fuck? You really think he was pulling the strings anymore? FFS he was more like royalty in Britain, he was a figurehead, not the trigger puller like he used to be, too old and sick to do it anymore. I really aint gonna give it another thought, because that is more press he doesnt need. Let it lie, worry more about whats in store for our boys and girls over the big pond
I dont give a shit about my safety, someone comes into my house uninvited and they get their arteries cut and neck broken. Simple. My dad prefers the two in the chest one in the head method, but I think a more personal touch to show you care can sometimes go a long way in preventing further incidents

Thank you. Let's just hope that we're not awash with political cock-waving and dumb rejoicing.
When the medics are fighting cancer they don't have a party every time they kill a cancerous cell.

What more is there to say? I hate Repubs. Black man becomes President and all they whine about since day one is proof of citizenship and claim he is Muslim. This is unheard of in U.S. Presidencies.
Back on subject: JOKES
1) BOOM HEADSHOT
2) Bin Laden just got a new body peircing: A 5.56mm steel bullet in the face.
3) I can’t wait for the video game to come out. "SOCOM 5: US Navy SEALs: Pakistan"
4) Let’s poke as much fun at his death as that bullet poked into his head.

I'm far enough away that I don't actively hate US republicans, but I do despise them for tying themselves in knots to come up with ways to undermine Obama without having to say they simply don't like having a black man as president.
Just to give you a giggle, Kaiti, I'm actually a uk republican, but before you get me in your sights, that just means that I'd rather live in a country that doesn't have a monarchy at the head!

I meant U.S. Repubs. I don't know much about UK political parties. I do agree, time to lose the Queen. Welcome to the 21st century.

Re: Usama bin Laden is dead
I'm a Republican and black, so I'll take two scoops of the "hate" please... And this despite the fact that I never gave a rat's ass about Obama's birth certificate. BTW, he's biracial, not black. You're right though in that we don't want him as president.

That's an entirely reasonable position. Why should a republican want a Democratic President? And glad you're not a Birther either - those guys managed to make themselves look utterly ridiculous to everyone but themselves. Over here, we just shake our heads.
I can't help thinking that the general state of your country would only be improved by a return to some level of mutual courtesy in political discourse.
-
Re: Usama bin Laden is dead
You're 100% correct. However, as I've said before, when you have people who assume everyone who identifies with one party or the other takes the party position on every matter, mutual courtesy becomes impossible. Then again, this is America, where despite being born with a brain, you are rarely if ever required to us it. The UK is looking better all the time, my friend.

Re: Usama bin Laden is dead
I'm still trying to understand the racial connection to a birth certificate. If he has one (albeit taking 3 years to find it) then he's an african american. If he only has a newspaper clipping, he's african ____an?
-
Re: Usama bin Laden is dead
Can someone please explain to me how he is an African American? I've been trying to understand that for years. His mother was a white woman, his father was a black African... You know, I suppose that does make him an African American actually, but if that's the case then we need to find another name for everyone else currently called an African American. I'm just going to call myself a Black American from now on so that there's no confusion.
-
Re: Usama bin Laden is dead
As both a veteran of the US Army and someone who was in Manhattan on 9/11, I hope you'll forgive me if I do away with all the partisan rhetoric and feel a slight sense of closure now that Bin Laden is gone.
If nothing else maybe all the Americans that died that day and all the people around the world (Muslims included) that Al Qaeda murdered with Bin Laden in charge rest a little easier.
No it's not over... but it's better than nothing.

Re: Usama bin Laden is dead
You know when Fox News is singing President Obama's praises something serious has gone right in America. I mean, everybody else on every single news channel was saying that Obama -- in concert with our heroic military troops who carried out a daring attack -- pulled off one of the gutsiest, bravest operations in years.
But Fox News?
They were actually saying the same thing.
I half expected Fox News to blame Obama for not killing Bin Laden twice. Or not killing him with the right weapon. But no, Fox News actually gave the president credit.
I know, scary stuff. The anti-Obama network used words like "historic" and a "very great success," which has my head spinning.
You know, maybe the Fox spinmeisters didn't show up to work on Sunday -- maybe they'll arrive at work on Monday morning and say, "Wait a second, we gave Obama an ounce of credit?! Who authorized that?"
Then, get this, at 1:38 a.m. they actually quoted NPR -- in a positive manner.
The world has been turned on its head.
spoke to soon
In the rush to report the news of Osama Bin Laden's death, a FOX News affiliate in Sacramento should have taken a moment to check its spelling.
Running along the bottom of FOX40's report on the event, the chyron read: "Reports: Obama Bin Laden Dead."
Apparently, some people issued complaints and accusations that it did it on purpose. After all, FOX News has some obvious conservative leanings in its coverage with Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly over at the mother ship.
FOX40 issued an apology (kind of), but not before they defended its mistake by pointing out how easily it could be made and that other news organizations made similar mistakes, including CNN and the Modesto Bee newspaper.
They even threw a fellow FOX affiliate in San Diego under the bus for its anchor actually saying "President Obama" instead of "Osama Bin Laden" was dead.

I lost one friend on 7/7 and another's daughter was maimed for life. Quiet satisfaction, but no thirst for further revenge, which is what I suspect their families will feel.
As I said right at the start of this thread, his passing won't fundamentally change anything. This isn't a conventional war by any means, and until our leaders grasp that fact and start acting accordingly, we are going to lose more and more innocent lives on both sides of the conflict in Afghanistan, just as we did previously in Iraq, and for no discernible effect or purpose.

Bin Laden shot in the head - US official
Bin Laden shot in the head - US official
Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was killed with a bullet to the head in an fight that lasted less than 40 minutes, a US official says.
The operation was watched real-time by intelligence officials in a conference room at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, the official, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters.
It was reported that applause followed the news that the operation in north Pakistan earlier today was a success.
The US strike force was reportedly on the ground for under 40 minutes and that the attack took place at a mansion with security gates, high walls with barbed wire but that there was no internet running into the property.
September 11 mastermind bin Laden, who was said to have shown resistance during a gun battle, was shot in the head. The official also said that DNA testing of bin Laden had been undertaken.
Bin Laden's adult was believed to have also been killed.
President Barack Obama made the announcement of bin Laden's death this afternoon.
He said bin Laden, 54, was killed in Abbottabad, a town about two hours' drive north of Islamabad and that his body had been "taken into custody".
Obama said he authorised the operation last week and that it was undertaken today in cooperation with Pakistan.
"Justice has been done"

My experience with you, is that you are the one that makes the assumption that any criticism of Republican policies is an attack on every single person, identified with that party.
Despite my overwhelming support of Obama, I disagreed with him continuing the policy of drone attacks, within Pakistan. I think it creates more enemies than it killed. However, in the case of Bin Laden, I think it was the right choice. I notice Obama did say that taking innocent lives was minimized. That says then, there were, possibly bystanders killed. This is the one case, I think was worth it, but not in the cases of other unrecognized names, who could be more easily replaced.
One additional thing, I noticed he did not say that Bin Laden planned 9/11. He said that he was the leader of the organiztion that carried out 9/11. Even on official government wnated posters of him, he was not accused of masterminding 9/11. It spoke directlly of the embassy bombings in Africa, and said, 'various other attacks'.

Re: Usama bin Laden is dead
The manner in which Osama bin Laden has died will suit him most of all, after 9/11 he was most commonly photographed holding a gun, not the Qu'ran, and made it known he would 'never be taken alive' -to his fanatical supporters, he died as he lived, fighting the Americans to his last breath. It would have been better had he been arrested in his pyjamas, not for the public humiliation, but as evidence of the man's vulnerability, just as the 'invincible' Saddam Hussein was arrested in a hole in the ground and looked defeated notwithstanding his dishevelled hair and appearance. Fanatics will be preparing their 'revenge', and most likely in Pakistan where they live and breathe, and possibly using targets in India in the medium-term.
The death of bin Laden does not shut down as-Qaeda, but it does burst the balloon of invincibility, and it comes at a time when, across the Arab world, ordinary people are fighting against the same kind of one-eyed, one-party politics that produced bin Laden. Since 1918, the Arabs have been defeated on the battlefield, even Suez was merely a hollow victory because the British left the field rather than being beaten. The Arabs have had enough of family firms, brutal dictators, false promises, fixed economies, fanatical dead-end politics: if bin Laden's death is well-timed, one hopes that for the majority of Arabs, it is one more step towards a different kind of politics, and one that we should support.
My thoughts are with the victims, 'thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears'...
