Osama bin Laden is Dead.

Or is he?

I’m sure it would be in our best interests to seize his wealth, but I’d bet he’s made that pretty impossible or it probably would’ve been done already somehow.

yeah, that’s also a possibility. For some reason though, I doubt they’re making it up. They say they have the body – not that they’re going to put Osama’s dead body on television – but at least some people will be able to see and verify it.

As for Pakistan’s complicity in hiding/aiding bin Laden…yeah I do think it’s suspicious…I’m sure he had connections, but do you think the Pakistani government at-large was friendly toward him?

Another perspective on Pakistan:

They made him a martyr. Nice work! And now - round 2…

The terrorism inflicted on the world [and in particular Iraq and Afghanistan] by American foreign policy [which protects the interests of those who own and operate the global economy] makes anything Al Qaeda inflicted pale by comparison.

The military industrial complex is the true font of 9/11. It’s not for nothing that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were chosen as targets.

Osama bin Laden is dead. That is a good thing. He personified the mindlessness of God as the end justifying any means. But we live in the Bilderberg world. And until that world is dismantled there will be many, many more bin Ladens to follow.

ok so how about now the government gives us our freedoms back (via repealing Patriot Act, among other things) and brings the troops home?

NOT, you guys thought this would make a difference BUAHAHAHA.

Also, Osama more than likely died in 2001.

You guys are SUCH unbelievable suckers… :unamused: [-(

They dropped his body in the Ocean??? …geeezzz

when Che Guevera was killed, they flaunted that mother fucker’s body around for EVERYONE to see. Not really sensible to keep evidence of this guy’s death a secret…unless there isn’t any evidence.

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…

Fo’ shizzle. I’ve read that the US conducted this operation without informing the Pakistan government, quite a brazen move but they (US) obviously don’t trust them (Pakistan).

@XZC: :laughing: :sunglasses:

so, let’s assume it’s all true for a second anyway: it just came out that he was UNARMED when he was shot (if he was shot). they shot this mother fucker in cold blood. no trial for his crimes?

there’s not too many reasons to shoot an unarmed man. maybe he had information they didn’t want to leak? i don’t know, i can’t really think of any other good reasons to shoot an unarmed man. it’s a bit suspicious if you ask me. when they caught Charles Manson, they didn’t just shoot him. they gave him a trial. they didn’t just shoot the guy who allegedly killed JFK, they caught him, arrested him (and then somebody else shot him lol). they didn’t shoot Saddam when he was caught. why the change of procedure? what’s goin on here?

fuck, if they had caught hitler before he committed suicide, i’m sure they would have tried him

After 9/11 does the blood really get cold here?

I hear you, Humpty. Now, if they U.S. government is making this elaborate story up, why wouldn’t they have said bin Laden was armed and on the offensive? That would have been a less questionable scenario. ALSO, they reported that bin Laden’s wife, who stood in between him and the Seals, moved toward them in a potentially threatening manner (whatever that means).

I would have no problem believing the whole thing except for this: why did we conduct a “muslim burial” for him and drop him at sea? That makes no sense.

If OBL would have given himself up, he might have gotten a trial. :slight_smile:

I mean before he was approached by the Navy Seals. :slight_smile:

i was expecting a response like this.

that’s why i provided examples of people who have committed heinous crimes and were arrested and tried.

So we must follow precedence because we must follow precedence? Or… what is the reasoning?

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.
