Obama announces that Osama Bin Laden is dead

[Shum]

Pics or didn't happen.

Ten years, trillions of dollars, thousands of American lives, countless innocent civilians, and the verge of global economic collapse for one guy. Makes sense.

I think it's safe to say Osama succeeded.

maybe mcdonalds will give out some free cheeseburgers tomorrow

The predator drones played Skrillex over the moutains... he gave himself up.

they'll probably publish pics at some point in the middle-east. We used to get photos to show villagers of dead figureheads to prove they were dead.

As someone who served in the military during this war, stoked this bastard is done with. Sadly he's just the poster child for a larger entity.

On the plus side this will likely ease a lot of tension between us and pakistan.... afghanistan, helps a little bit.... iraq means nothing. They don't care about osama in iraq (big picture).

One very bad dude gone.... a decade later osama had been phased out of the leadership a long time ago.

This has gotta gut the republicans tho lololol

Exactly. The US responded to 9/11 EXACTLY how Bin Laden wanted them to.

Timing feels weird. I'm sure there are a lot of people celebrating though.

if it was bush it would have been a month before his term was over.

They want the death certificate with the raised seal.


Seriously though, call me cynical but I'm not going to believe something just because someone announced it on TV.
Then again they've always told the truth before, haven't they?

I don't think they would lie about it in that manner. There's a possiblity he was already dead before, or maybe he's been captured, but I don't think they're going to say he's dead while he's still out there. Just imagine the shit storm if he releases a new tape...

"Oh hey guys, I'm not really dead, your government lied to you"

[pkay]

Conspiracy theories already kicking in, nice.

If you're going to be that guy at least say that it wasn't him.... instead of implying they knew where he was at all this time and just now decided to kill him.

By all means question our country, but don't shit on people who were directly effected by 9-11. People from New York, DC, and military members have a right to be happy this fucktard is dead.... I'm sure a lot of people who were effected by Al Qaeda around the globe are going to wake up slightly happy today.

wasn't just for him... but you already knew that...


anyway... what the FUCK happened to his wikipedia? even the thing i linked earlier in this thread has disappeared and been replaced by this "official" bullshit..


for fucks sake...

even the stuff about the tactical team for finding him getting called off in 2005.... geez i hate wikipedia sometimes

[knell]

they say they have his body, so there's that, too

[AllNightDayDream]

So petty. Why can't we set aside politics and celebrate as americans? Regardless the guy was a fuckin turd, and he's gone now. Good riddance.

most people on this forum were teenagers... young teenagers 10 years ago, let alone 20 years ago when osama started bullshit against the us.

They can't make the direct connection that the stupid shit that happened on 9-11 toppled a domino that started all the bad shit we're going through today in our country. Lifted the veil on the american dream for a few generations of people. When they became adults shit was already fucked up they don't remember what it was like when everything was kinda peaceful for us.

No dillusions that this solves everything but hopefully it can serve as a symbolic first step in the right direction.

That's true but let's also not forget about stuff like Operation Cyclone in the 80s.
