Osama bin Laden is Dead.

[WW_III_ANGRY]

well, the fact is that with the state, there is no reasoning...or if there is, the reason's gotta be kept secret.

I really don't think Bin Laden was viewed as worthy of a trial... In the states eyes. Our nations ideology only looks good on paper. But then again, that ideology only can go so far... When push comes to shove. I applaud cutting through the red tape that so many times has binded us, harmed us, and defeated us.

i think a televised trial would have been pretty cool, i think it would have been very worth-while. the money the government could have made from televising the trial would have massively outweighed the cost of the trial, so to say it's not "worth while"...well you certainly don't mean it's not worth while economically. i think it would have been a much bigger historical event: the trial of a terrorist. the murder of a terrorist...i don't know, that doesn't really have the level of significance that a trial would. a trial would have been nice.

[WW_III_ANGRY]

I think a trial for that reason (money) makes it become a huge joke. I even think that to come up with that idea to begin with leads me to question your state of mind on the matter as a hole as well as your entire world view, even if it is not serious.

Next issue: Was the "Muslim ceremony" the right thing to do? Apparently his burial took place aboard an aircraft carrier in which a naval officer read traditional muslim burial rites that were translated into Arabic, with bin laden wrapped in white sheets in a ceremony that took approximately 45 minutes?

[Humpty]

it is a huge fucking joke, are you outta ur mind?

[WW_III_ANGRY]

I agree that it would be a joke but not in the same sense or severity of the term as if it was done for money as opposed to ideology, which could be seen as virtuous. I personally think virtue has it's time and place, but it wasn't nor should it have been the time or place with this raid on bin laden

The Muslim burial isn't a question of morality to me... it sure as hell wasn't done for any moral reasons by the U.S. military/government. There must have been a practical reason to do it (or make it up). I just can't see it...

the burial at sea is specifically against the Islamic religion lol

there's not too many reasons to shoot an unarmed man.

Him being the world's most wanted terrorist is a pretty good one.

The burial at sea makes sense, he has no grave, no point at which the hordes of loonies can make a pilgrimage, or dig him up, or whatever mad shit looney terrorists do. They're probably necrophiliacs too. Anyway, fuck the guy.

Here's one reason I think the hit was actual: In the aftermath Pakistan has a whole load of shit to answer for, a lot of international pressure and suspicion has come their way. If the hit was a fake wouldn't they have chosen some remote cave on the Afghan/Pakistan (or Iran) border rather than a million pound apartment? Unless there's a political reason to smear Pakistan...

If there were no more sin, what would be the purpose of priests? If there were no more disease, what would be the purpose of doctors? If there were no more enemies, what would be the purpose of army? People need to be afraid of something - in such a way that they need saviours and champions all the time... Can there be better form of control? The US goverment knew that killing Osama won't change the overall picture, and that it will probably make things worse - which will result in more terrorist attacks - which leads to stricter laws and greater invasion of privacy, loss of more civil rights, semi-military state and The Patriot Act 2.0... Over 99% possible...

Bingo!

They don't dispose of one false flag until they have already setup the next one.

The question now is, how many people will they murder in order to present the world with their new arch enemy?

No need for a new false flag operation when you have FEMA CAMPS SET UP TO ENSLAVE US ALL, ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES!!!

Yes but so was killing Bin Laden.. perhaps? Not entirely... there is some truth to that though. Now as far as the burial at sea, right... Was that the right thing to do also?

[Humpty]

guess you missed the point of what i said...

[WW_III_ANGRY]

guess you missed the point of what i said...

No, I didn't. I didn't say the ceremony was an entirely traditional and entirely founded in Muslim burial rites.

[Humpty]

the post that preceded mine was talking about burying him at sea for moral reasons. i was commenting on that. it was claimed, in the news, to have been done in keeping with muslim traditions. none of your response has anything to do with what i was talking about. that's why i say you missed the point. cuz you're talkin bout some random shit.

So it was in concordance with muslim tradition except for the burial at sea... And?

[Humpty]

and that was it, what the fuck do you mean "and?" get outta here

[WW_III_ANGRY]

and that was it, what the fuck do you mean "and?" get outta here

How could you proclaim that I missed your point if there's nothing more to what you already stated? I asked if the burial at sea was the right thing to do. You said I missed your point. WTF?

[Humpty]

you said "also" you asked if it was the right thing to do "also."
that part confused the shit outta me. your whole post was like...i have no clue what you're trying to say. speak english man.

I said exactly what I was trying to say. You can answer the question anyway you want. I don't see how its confusing at all. I'm not trying to trick you.

[Humpty]

i'm not answering the question. the also implies that something else IS right already...i don't know what that is. i personally couldn't care less where he's buried, they could have fed his corpse to hyenas for all I care, the point is that they claimed it was done in keeping with islamic tradition in order to appease muslims who might be outraged by how they disposed of the body, but the way they disposed of the body is against islamic tradition anyway.

Or I was just asking a second question on the burial.

[Humpty]

ah, i see, in that case the also should be placed in front. if it's at the end like that...my misunderstanding was pretty understandable.

Is that a Grammatical rule? I'm not sure.. do you know?

"Was that the right thing to do also?" -- the also is in the context of there being another right thing to do.
"Also, was that the right thing to do?" -- the also is to denote a new, separate question.
