Better response in that thread, but holy hell.... At least can and will be said from this but I do feel good for the families, friends and loved ones of all the thousands and thousands killed. All innocent people, from many different regions. Not just from 9/11 but all the terrorist attacks conducted under Bin Laden's watch. All those who have suffered, all those who have sacrificed can at least feel it was for something. Coupled with the current wave hitting the Arab World...I hope to any and everything a new, good decade is ahead of us. |

Exactly Drew, it's silly to think he's been the "head" for a while now. Obviously he's not been, and anyone who honestly think "terrorism over" "we won" or "it's over without him" is...unintelligent. I already am fearing the uber pro American sentiment that will flood but I can't believe how many are already going on about Obama's second term, leave the middle east, and coming up with conspiracy theories. There will be time for all that, and we do need to leave the Middle East NOW, but jesus christ.....for one day let's feel something good. Because until this moment...what the f**k have we had to feel good about? |

Like I said, it is largely symbolic and it's known I don't go for that but I am only human Pat..an unimaginable amount of hell has come over the last 9 and a half years.

Well...Obama claims he had some knowledge for months now and it was his orders that eventually resulted in this. Considering he was shot in the head, that would make sense. I mean how impossible is it to find a man with ungodly resources to hide? If anything a missile or bomb would get him. An actual person getting him, being able to verify it was him? Sounds like we must've known something and was actively seeking him. ...... Well, that would be a second term for Obama. |

Obama said some tips about a year ago pointed to Pakistan and Bin Laden being holed up in a compound there.Took quite a few months to verify all the intel and then a small team was sent in to take him out,probably the Joint Spec Ops Group.I really don't think he was killed in the firefight,I think he was executed,which is fine by me. ------------- |

So that's this "JSOP" that the news keeps talking about. Yeah, they've been saying we're going to hear that acronym a lot very soon. Pretty much Jody, this was not a firefight obviously. It was a search and kill. Great for all the families affected that can feel some closure, but if Osama was killed in a firefight well OK....what are you going to do? Now that it seems this was a specific operation targeted to get him, I really wish he was captured, brought here, tried and forced to rot in jail for the rest of his life. Those that are dedicated to terrorism will use this for their own purpose as well. Instead of a martyr I'd like him to be a coward, sitting in isolation and wallowing in his failure. |

But if you captured him alive and held him for trial what do you think would happen? Al Qaeda would plan something terrible(a massive bombing,maybe threaten to release some tasty anthrax or smallpox spores on an unsuspecting city) unless we released him.He might be a martyr in death,but I think it was better than taking him alive.
And I got the acronym wrong,it's JSOC(Joint Spec Ops Command).Pretty much takes all the best spec ops units and personnel and they work together on highly classified activities. ------------- |

Ah it was JSOC! I thought what you said sounded off but figured you were probably correct over the moronic air heads we call the media I don't know, it's the greatest damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. Me personally, I wish he was captured alive since it seems that may have been possible, and as for retaliation? I can't see his being killed/captured alive having an impact on that. also remember, it's more than Al Qaeda. There are more out there than we can know, most operating outside of Al Qaeda completely. |

Yeah, it's terrorism. It can't be defeated. You can defeat an army, a country. You can completely overrun it and set up a new government. But you can't defeat an idea. Only possible way that can change is through a long, long natural process. Anyway, I hope to this can be the beginning of the end. Start leaving Afghanistan and Iraq now. Leave the whole Middle East, and let the natural albeit painful process finally begin. Edit: Also wonder when, if it all, we'll get details about it. It happened in Pakistan...meaning either the government knew we were doing so, or we just snuck in and did so. We hear about how Pakistan has been more and more helpful in aiding the US, wonder if they knew about this little operation. Or did we go Sam Fischer on them? |

Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't wait till October of next year to announce this.
The Military Industrial Complex has to keep on churning, after all. There's too much money moving around to stop now.
Not only are we still fighting that war but we still have Iraq to worry about and a brand spanking new war in Libya that is even more senseless and difficult. This should grab the attention away from NATO killing one of Gaddafi's civilian sons and several grandchildren.
Maybe after the hoopla has died down American's will really start demanding an end to the bloodshed, though, considering this is why the majority of American's think we're still over there. ------------- Time always wins. |

Like I said, you can't defeat an idea and it will never go away. But the healing process can't even start while we are there, if anything made the situation worse. I am crossing every finger that we will indeed leave both our wars and hopefully, pull all our bases and let the process begin. People in the Arab World want the change, this would be a perfect time for the US to do something right. On the flip side, we don't know officially yet but it sounds like Pakistan did not know about this operation... |

They didn't,and it doesn't matter,because no border would stop us from going into another country and getting him.
Now there is speculation that Pakistani military and intelligence leaders not only knew where he was,but also sheltered him from us.I don't doubt it,the compound is in a town that has a military academy and is home to 3 Pakistani army regiments and thousands of military personnel.

"They got him" it said on the News. And then we sat and watched Us President Barack giving the official speech.
There were many images of Americans celebrating and I guess I can understand that. Lets hope Bin Laden doesnt become a martyr because as he went down in a blaze of glory it appears to be scripted to perfection. How will they dispose of the body? And will we ever see a 9/11 ever again?

That all makes sense... thanks!
My thoughts are:
Bin Laden was the face of evil so who will replace him? He bombed Tanzania locales all those years. Then the massive 9/11 operation of course made him a household name.
His death is a symbolic blow but the catalyst for a new wave of terrorist attacks unfortunately. The AQ may want to show the world they are still a force to be reckoned with. AQ is now a franchise with offshoots worldwide under different pseudonyms especially AQ in the Arabian Peninsula.
He can be replaced by the Egyptian born surgeon that worked for him. This is the scenario on the news anyway.

They already seem to know who #2 is (and I suppose the heir to AQ now) Edit: Agi has presented the name. Yes, it is more than 9/11 and the US. Bin Laden is responsible for killing many across the world, going back for years. AQ has become disjointed, but that actually makes it even more difficult. Like a tapeworm, it broke up but each piece continued to live and can operate on it's own. Now AQ is decentralized! Which is always more difficult to deal with. |

Also, all this makes me question these wars more. Apparently this
operation was based off many months of intelligence gathering and tip
offs, and obviously didn't require the US army. We seem to know who's next in line to lead AQ. For years various US agencies were piecing together the puzzle, in the months before 9/11 the FAA got a bunch of warnings of terrorist attacks, there was the infamous memo to George W Bush a month before about planes probably being used in a terrorist attack! Which he didn't read. Not to mention numerous tip offs from various countries about AQ and a large attack. We even caught Ramzi Yousef and KSM once and uncovered a plot to hijack planes (7 I think) and fly them into buildings all over the US! The intelligence that can be gathered is amazing! Using that, I don't see the need for wars. The world can pull its resources and hurt these organizations in secret, but without elite forces sneaking around. |

So we spent over half a trillion dollars, and nearly 10 years looking for the guy? Well, it's about f*cking time.

Ok I'm just hearing about this.  He'd been out there for so long he was about to die of old age. But at least it's knocked the royal wedding out of the coverage. Even if he really was the one behind the 9/11 and other terrorist attacks, something pretty much none of us can actually know personally, that he wasn't apprehended or killed shortly after those attacks made him just a little bit of a recruiting tool for Al Q. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

He doesn't need to be replaced. As far as the day-to-day running of the terrorist organisation is concerned, I don't know if he's had much to do with that in the last few years.
As a poster boy for suicidal terrorists he's much more attractive now. He's gone from Mr Hide-in-a-cave to Mr Died-for-the-cause. ------------- "The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar.... Now, that's my idea of a good time." |

Oh well, at least we now know why the royal blissfully married couple didn't take a foreign honeymoon Second term secured for Obama, potentially masses of trouble in retribution for the martyr, but, in truth, it is very difficult to feel sorry for such a mass murderer. Also, how the hell did he manage to hide so close to the Pakistani authorities?? ------------- Enhance your life.

Not quite. Sadly all that time and money spent on the War in Afghanistan was largely unrelated. This came from 7 years of intel gathering, resulting with a single specific campaign called for by Obama, using a special force almost outside the military. It supposedly took 40 minutes. Unfortunately, all that proves how pointless the war was. |

Also, everyone on the internet who's not American (and some who are) can get off their damn moral high horse about not celebrating a person's death, which has been the argument raging across the entire fricking internet. I've lived almost half my life in the shadow of this man, give us one day of America F*CK YEAH before you condemn us as monsters with no empathy (as if the people in your countries are more than human and don't feel anger or revenge). I wasn't even really celebrating (to be honest I was never afraid of terrorism), but I am normally enthusiastic about pissing on people's parades.
