Breaking news - Osama Bin Laden has been found Dead

[Bully]

people out the front of white house crying over this celebrating

[auto]

To be honest im a little sceptical, im just not sure whether to believe the USA or not.
Unless we get to see the body etc, how do you really know? Maybe they just decided the charade had gone on long enough and gave up looking, saying he was dead?
What happens now in Afghanistan etc? Do they start pulling troops?

He's dead mate...As for Afghanistan they wont start pulling troops, Osamas only a figurehead not the brains.

So now we just sit back and wait for the revenge attacks now...

Not just Facebook offical, now it's Obama offical

Rumours mounting that Osama will spend the next million years being forced to listen to Altiyan Childs' album

1 lunatic gone only to be replaced by another.
Whether the next one is better or worse will remain to be seen !!!!

Unfortunately, nothing will change.

http://www.crikey.com.au/2011/05/02/bin-ladens-death-will-change-nothing-especially-among-the-youth-of-the-middle-east/

His death, however, won’t change the amorphous “war on terror” – a phrase abandoned as inconvenient during the Blair years – which embraces the minutiae of what you can take onto planes, western indulgence of Middle Eastern dictators, the increasingly pointless western presence in Afghanistan, and the systematic abrogation of basic civil liberties not merely for Muslims unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but for westerners as well.

There’ll be no repeal of the violations of civil liberties embedded in the criminal codes of western countries, no expedited withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan, no US shift to support democracy in the Middle East at the expense of its client dictators. The war goes on, and governments won’t relinquish the wartime powers they’ve accrued, however much they may exploit the death of Bin Laden.

Interesting he was picked up in Pakistan.
What does that mean for the US/Pakistan relationship?
Did Pakistan give them a tip off?
Be interesting to see what the official word on that is.

[overloaded]

the americans are celebrating big time . this will fire up the terrorists!

[Dog_ger]

Let the next one step up.

Amazing coincidence that the US find him, right when Obama needed a miracle to get a 2nd presidential term...

It's all politics.

It's all bullsh!t.

[cripple]

interesting news. would have rather seen him rot away in a cell for the rest of his life as a punishment then escape through death. guess it is the second best result in my eyes

[mighty_tiger_79]

there are people i know who insist Osama has been dead for years

but it dont matter if he has or hasnt been dead, as others have mentioned there will be another nutter that will take over

Which is still a year away.
Dont' jump to a cynical conclusion, the first Gulf War didn't save the first Bush President.

It probably would have if they got Saddam at that time.

fk yeah

[Bully]

apparently they have beried his body at sea to stop follows creating a 'shrine' at his grave

[Punk Rooster]

rumours are that he died of old age

my beliefs are (based on nothing but my own opinion)
- OBL had an agreement. Allowed to live without fear of capture, as long as when he died of natural causes, the US were allowed to claim a "moral victory", & present him as being captured
- OBL has been dead for years anyway, but not allowed to become a Martyr. Would Jim Morrison be a legend if died of old age in a nursing home?

I've never believed the US's story on 9/11- yes buildings exploded & innocent people died, but the rest of it contained a bit of "journalistic licence".

Let's face it, we'll never rid ourselves of the real terrorists (the Illuminati)!

Barack Obama is a marvellous orator, however the timing makes you wonder.

FWIW, they said that Pakistan helped them.
