Bin Laden dead? What?

Bin Laden got off easy. It's a lot more humane to put a bullet in his head than to lock him up in this tiny box for the rest of his worthless life.

I just don't believe in killing people to prove a point. Good or bad aside.

I do.

My whole school and classes were talking about it all day. Heres some info. He was in a house w/ 17ft walls all around it. The guy who shot bin ladded(aka that peach), got 25million dollars. He blew his face off. They burred him how the Muslims do it, throw them in the ocean. I also heard that they took his sister's brain and is doing a DNA test on it. RIP peach!

A murder? We didn't just run in guns ablazing killing anyone and everyone. We wanted him alive just like with Sadam. They fired at our troops and we fired back. If youre ignorant enough to believe that we found him and decided to shoot him up just because, then wow.

I'll requote this because I just noticed that this actually was a kill operation:

Weird.

Totally Relevant

Ahahahaaaa I lol'ed so hard

Congrats for Americans, you've had your revenge.

I somehow feel Osama's successor will launch an attack on Hoover dam to revenge this too. Endless cycle, come to think of it.

Makes you wonder why they didnt want him alive. Perhaps they didn't want the hassle of going through a trial?

Only Americans are enough stupid to even come up with such theories in the first place. lolRepublicans

Only the finns take Memes totally srs.

Finland cannot into space i heard.

I have a few likely scenarios:

If Al Qaeda was aware that we had Osama Bin Laden, the chances of them acting more and more radical to get him back would increase. They could do mass public beheadings of Allied troops, or abduct innocent American citizens abroad to put pressure on the Americans to release Osama. That would put America in a massive bind - a lose-lose situation. Keeping Osama in any way, shape, or form would be a massive security risk to American forces already stationed in Pakistan.

Do you honestly think a person who gave up a life of business and economics to bring the world to its knees on Sharia law would say anything worthwhile to American intelligence especially when his main method of terrorism was blowing oneself up with bombs? Also consider that his life's pursuit was to destroy the West. I sincerely doubt he'd say a damn thing.

Not to mention that America wishes to "restore order" (define that how you wish) in the region, and no matter how the inevitable trial would go no one would think it was a fair trial. This is not a good way to unite a region to accept democracy (or any kind of government for that matter) as the unfair trial would divide and not unite them. Also, the chance of Osama coming out of that trial with anything less than a death sentence is absurd. Might as well kill him now and be done with it than have to deal with the pomp and circumstance.

Osama is worth more to America dead than alive. It's too much risk to keep him alive and really not worth what we could ever hope to receive from him.

I do.

I don't understand why you felt the need to say so. It was obvious.

Apparently both Bin Laden and Hitler were declared dead on May Day:

Do you think that his human rights were violated by doing so? Also, do you think it is okay to "sacrifice" a person because there is a too great risk by saving them/catching them/keeping them "hostages"?

He lost any rights when he chose his way of life.

You find a wanted man worth 25million dollars to have rights?

What human rights? He was a worldwide criminal -_-

Don't forget the fact he used a woman as a human shield.

I'm also worried we might have kicked the hypothetical hornet's nest here. Even Homeland Security picked up on that.

The Taiwanese CGI treatment. Wow.

That was waay overdone. O_O

It's good that he is dead, since the only good terrorist is a dead terrorist. I would have to agree with Fiel in that capturing him would have greater consequences than killing him.


"Administration officials are now trying to decide whether to release photos of bin Laden's corpse. Releasing the photos would prove that the terror leader is dead, but some officials fear the gruesome nature of the pictures could fan anti-American sentiment."

Uh, he shot at us, and we killed him in self-defense. The killing shot just happened to be a head shot. Just show us the dam picture so everyone can rest easy.
