Osama Bin Laden : Got Him!

Hi Clementine, my sentiments exactly towards our leaders and the success of this operation.

 

Hi E, my sentiments exactly and ESPECIALLY toward the pakistanis.

 

The BBC are reporting that Bin Laden actually used his WIFE as a 'human shield'.....what a coward!

All sorts of difficult questions have been raised about exactly what knowledge the Pakistani government/military possessed regarding the presence of Osama in their country.

Afghani authorities are calling on militant elements to "Learn from the fate of OBL and lay down your weapons now."

 

Hi Jeff, heh heh, funny you should mention that because, that was almost exactly what I said in my original post before I edited it. I didnt want to seem like the only one here with that exact sentiment ;-))

 

Ive seen the pix and Ray I think was the one who posted it under the osama death thread on histomil. The pix on the left is the death pix, the one on the right is the living death pix. Personally, I think the pix on the left shwoing the bullethole in its forehead-made it look much much better than when it was alive.

 

Sadly, thats what happens when your pres is nothing but a pc correct Bowing Johann.

 

Heh heh, so is eating at CHUYS but im not going to admit that :lol;:lol:

 

though I would love to propose Lou and his daughters thoughts, sin has taken over the world and with that, death. bin was offered to surrender, he refused and suffered the consequences

 

"WE" better HOPE not? This Country has been badly damaged and the rot needs to stop.

Heh. Thought this was appropriate: YouTube - Hitler reacts to the news that Osama bin Laden was killed

 

2001 article? Ahh I have to learn to look at the date before I post some link...

 

I personally think America is making an error in celebrating this man's death like we had won a hockey game at the Olympics or something, dancing in the streets and waving the Stars and Stripes. Remember how angered we were when news shots showed anti-American demonstrations on the tube with radical Muslims dancing in the street after the towers fell.

This may well be counter-productive.

 

This article from AP disagrees.
Phone Call by Kuwaiti Courier Led to Bin Laden - ABC News

 

I have also seen that the courier was first identified at three different camps, so it is up in the air to my mind. Torture usually gathers what the interrogating team wants to hear, not what is actually fact. I've seen reports that the courier was i.d.ed in Eastern Europe CIA camps, at Gitmo, and even one in Egypt. I don't really care where the information came from, or how it was obtained, I was simply pointing out that torture rarely reveals a "truth".

Just as a "fun" list, here is the bin Laden hunt "by the numbers".

I got a kick out of the last entry. One dog.

 

I could say it takes a dog to catch a dog, but comparing OBL to a dog would be insulting to dogs everywhere.
