Osama Bin Laden : Got Him!

Would think those 2 copters could not have just flown in without Pakistans knowledge. I'd like to know how the one helicopter went down. They say mech fail, but those copters were prolly checked 72 times before they lifted off.
Also it's interesting the mention of how the bad guys tried to use a female human shield.
Only heard of 5 deaths. Wouldn't there be a wack of guys there to protect BL? The more the merrier I like to say.

All in all, it's been a great day. BL dead and voted all before 10:30.

 

This one guy here was on Twitter and tweeting the operation as it happened, didn't realize what was going on until he heard about it on the news!

I understand why they buried him the way they did to a point. However, all these years people around the world have been telling us how he's not a true Muslim, and that he does not represent the vast majority of Muslims.

Therefore, who gives a **** about burying him like a dignified Muslim if he wasn't one?

Whatever, fall to the briney deep, just like Eichmann did, you scum!

 

NEW YORK CITY -- It took 3,519 days since September 11, 2001, for U.S. forces to finally kill Osama bin Laden, the chief architect of the terrorist attacks that define that date.

During that time period, two wars were launched in the Middle East, each with the stated purpose of fulfilling the objectives of a larger "war": that on terror. Bin Laden’s capture doesn’t halt those operations. But it does provide an end point to a chapter that was politically contentious, emotionally exhausting and quite costly.

How much money did the United States spend to capture bin Laden in the operation that took place Sunday? That precise a figure is difficult (perhaps impossible) to pinpoint. A much easier price tag, however, can be placed on the costs of foreign operations that were launched in response to the 9/11 attacks.

According to a March 29, 2011 Congressional Research Service report, Congress has approved a total of $1.283 trillion for "military operations, base security, reconstruction, foreign aid, embassy costs, and veterans’ health care for the three operations initiated since the 9/11 attacks." Those three operations include Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) Afghanistan; Operation Noble Eagle (ONE), providing enhanced security at military bases; and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).

Broken down individually, the government has spent $806 billion for Iraq, $444 billion for Afghanistan, $29 billion for enhanced security and $6 billion on "unallocated" items. The vast majority of all the money appropriated has gone to the Department of Defense, and of that money more and more is being spent on Operation & Maintenance (O&M) funding, which went from $42 billion in FY2004 to $79 billion in FY2008. Only $67 billion (or 5 percent) went to the State Department or USAID. Only $8 billion (or 1 percent) went to veterans' care, via the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Because U.S. troop presence will remain at relatively high levels in Afghanistan and, to a lesser extent, Iraq in the years ahead -- and because veteran health-care needs will likely only get worse -- the price will continue to rise. If Congress also approves the president’s FY2012 war-funding request, the cumulative cost of post-9/11 operations would reach $1.415 trillion. The Congressional Budget Office -- the nonpartisan accountant for lawmakers -- estimates that over the next ten years, total costs "could reach $1.8 trillion by FY2021."

Bin Laden, of course, was found in neither Iraq nor Afghanistan but in neighboring Pakistan. And he was killed not by army personnel but by a covert Navy SEALS unit aided by CIA intelligence. Budgets for those agencies and entities were not covered in the CRS report. However, the study did look at money spent on counter-insurgency funds for the government of Pakistan. Since 9/11 the United States has appropriated money for that purpose just once: a $400 million expenditure in FY2008. (FY=fiscal year)

From 9/11 To Osama Bin Laden's Death, Congress Spent $1.28 Trillion In War On Terror

 

a slight interesting concept the bin-boy was nearly popped on the date of the little Austrian stinkers back on 30 April 1945 in Berlin. seems like a total waste of funds to remove the body to bury at sea there was enough earth to have him 're-located' out of Pakistan without anyone's knowledge. pics have already been released .....

now for total misconceptions and myths to arise . . . .

 

Yes, but what about the poor shark that got indigestion? Peta will not be happy!

 

And the Muslim world (or part of it at least) is insulted by the method of burial according to the AP.


CAIRO (AP) -- Muslim clerics said Monday that Osama bin Laden's burial at sea was a violation of Islamic tradition that may further provoke militant calls for revenge attacks against American targets.

Although there appears to be some room for debate over the burial - as with many issues within the faith - a wide range of senior Islamic scholars interpreted it as a humiliating disregard for the standard Muslim practice of placing the body in a grave with the head pointed toward the holy city of Mecca.

Sea burials can be allowed, they said, but only in special cases where the death occurred aboard a ship.

News from The Associated Press

The ship is named in this AP article as well.

 

so I wonder if they would of been insulted by the way I suggested in an earlier posting. let us not forget the terrible cruelty during the Crusades from both sides. oh yes the modern world has come so much farther hasn't it in it's barbarity. Frankly I can almost say for fact the the US doesn't give a rats behind what is being said right now in the name of Osama bin.

side note and I will not post due to the graphicness but Obama looks as he did not even know what hit him. the shot was right above the left eyebrow which crushed his skull. . . . . .moderation please delete if this is of too graphic nature

 

Interesting as NPR this morning was making a point about celebrations in Dearborne as well as how well the news was recieved in Afghanistan. One of the interviewees pointed out that most of Ben Landen's victims were Moslem (which the interviewer hadn't realized).

At least now he's peforming a useful task. Feeding higher life forms .....

 

I imagine they wanted to make a very positive ID and perhaps there were some intel reasons. Buirial at sea also means no pilgrimages to his grave site consider those executed as a result of the Nuremburg trials were cremated and had their ashes scattered.

 

Im so giddy!

 

I'd like to apologise for any sentiments hurt during the following post in advance, i do not mean anything against the victims of terror

Anyone else feel that this sort of rejoicing is going a bit too far in the sense that we are giving more attention to him then he deserves?
i mean that we have done house cleaning, squashed a old rat, and now we are going all round the net posting about our achievement while the other rats are eating our cheese?

I'd say that we give this bugger the 30 seconds of infame he deserves and move on, he may be dead but his inglorious legacy still lives on,
if we relax our guard now, we may perhaps never awaken again, for waiting in the shadows, there are other young osama's in the making fueled by the martyrdom of their leader, who even in his last breath defied the west and humanity...

As far as i know, there are already marches being planned in extremist countries... do we really need to show him that he won? we are rejoicing at his death, a sure sign of fear that existed when he lived.. ? Isnt that what they want all along? recognition? whether dead or alive, he has become synonymous with jihad and terrorism..They know the fact, but do we need to compound its effects?

"I have never wished death of any person, but i have read a few obituaries with great pleasure"

Regards,

personally interested in what they found in the so called compound than anymore on this riff raff. evil will continue

 

I can see both sides of that. There's the fact that he is getting a fair amount of publicity. There's also the implied threat though .... i.e. pull something like this and we will get you. In some ways I hope the "extremist" do conduct their marches and/or other events. The lack of numbers both in venues and in attendence is likely to highlight just how far the Al Quada has fallen.

 

Congrats to this great step in the right directon! Well made boys!!!

Carl, that Slim-Fast stuff is nearly as dngerous as the bullet that hits Osama´s head!

 

Well i guess it's confirmed, Bin Laden was buried at sea. He got it a whole lot better than most of the people he killed. and he got a 24 hour funeral!


It's funny because he had no regard for the people he killed. Most of the victims killed on 9-11 were never found.. And for the families who were lucky enough to bury a loved one, had to wait months to find their loved one.

Seems like even in death the bastard got it good. Life is so unfair.


Ah oh well, I truly beieve that God has a special place in heaven for all the victims killed by terrorism. And God has also reserved a place for Bin Laden and his goons... right into the firery pits of hell.


Islamic Scholars Split Over Sea Burial for Bin Laden - NYTimes.com

 

As to be expected,the first attacks on the US and defence of OBL are appearing on the net ,by the moslim 5th column and by the nostalgians of the iron curtain .Within a few days,they will be joined by the cowards:some professor will argue that US must apologize for the liquidation of OBL.
Btw:when I heard the news,it still was early in the morning,and to early for beer,but for a bottle of champagne,it is never to early.

 

it's never too early for Weissbier und Weisswurst

Prosit !

 

Here is what I was sayin'.....Osama Bin Laden dead - will Al Qaeda detonate nuclear bomb now, as threatened? - International Business Times

 

While I believe that the "enhanced interrogation" (read torture) techniques gave us (America) little if any useful data or info at all, it is also untrue that the FBI was not involved at all. This morning Osama bin Laden was removed from first place on the "most wanted list" of the FBI, if they didn't care or look for him he wouldn't have been there for nine+ years.

BTW, that site seems to be a rather "odd" one for a couple of reasons. Learning to fly a Cessna is the only part needed if you have the data to input to the auto pilot of a Boeing 767, if one can do that the dang thing will "fly to the airport listed", it only has to be over-ridden (I suppose) in the final moments to divert the fly by wire computer plane into the towers by hand/eye (VFR) flight. Just a guess on the part of a guy who let his own private pilot's license expire a number of years ago. Flying is flying, and with the computer control auto-pilots of today those last few miles would be the only time in which "personal flight ability" would be needed.
