Forums Forums National News Osama Bin Laden is dead

Is it just me or is the thought of a load of people chanting 'USA USA!' just as disturbing as someone chanting 'Allah aqaba!'

Seems ok that a superpower can order a person's death...what happened to holding a trial?

I think he must have been killed whilst they attempted the the arrest

...and Ive read today that that pic is fake....

Like I said, I guess the only way to tell will be if troops pull out, and terrorist activity is reduced.

Get out of bed the Wong side today did we. My vews like you have yours
The u,s have knowing were he was for 2 years now, were was bush. Then

.

Trust me Jase, if they'd known where he was then they would have had him, used to be in the Int game myself and it's not George W or Obama doing the job they are only the figurehead the same as Osama. And look at missguided asking about a trial, bloody hell. Not much real politik around sometimes. I'll get over it. I'm just chuffed that they have wasted him and I know he is going to be pissed off when he finds out there's no paradise and no virgins for him, but of course he can't be pissed off because he's gone. At times you sometimes wish there is a sort of brief afterlife just so you can see what a prat you've been, that would be poetic justice.

If he is truly dead, I cannot see why they would suddenly pull troops out of Afghanistan. The Taliban is still alive and well - a separate entity from which Bin Laden loosely fell out of...

Plus terrorist activity will surely increase, since Bin Laden can only be seen now as a 'martyr' in the eyes of all that follow that belief system and 'regime'.

Omg listen to you all?
You have no idea feeble humans, no idea at all

C'mon Ste, it's an occasion that is worthy of comment even if you are from different sides of the spectrum. We know there will be some pay back but he couldn't just be allowed to carry on as though nothing had happened. I believe in Capital Punishment too, there's always got to be retribution and justice for the victims. It also acts as a deterrent in most cases. Justice has been served in this instance, in my opinion of course.

Wasn't it 2007 he was also 'captured' and it turned out to be a lookalike?

Scapegoat springs to mind, that's all I have to say on the matter.

Well said ste, thats what im angling at

..comes in threes....

....Ted Lowe, Henry Cooper and now Bin Laden.

Been a right weekend of deaths!

That's a god awful picture for 2011, looks like someone took this pic from a 10 year old camera phone. I read that they buried his corpse at sea as well, mighty odd for a country that went to the effort of displaying the corpses (and majority of the autopsies) of both of Saddam's sons.

I'll call bullshit until a decent picture is shown.
