Osama Bin Laden is DEAD!!!

[SamuraiBigEd]

Obama is a little too concerned with Islamic tradition, Bin Laden didn't deserve courtesy.

"The U.S. official who disclosed the burial at sea said it would have been difficult to find a country willing to accept the remains. Obama said the remains had been handled in accordance with Islamic custom, which requires speedy burial."

Conspiracy types already saying they won't believe it until they see the body. Body reportedly already buried at sea. Let the crazies out of the woodwork now.

Explain why it was dumped at sea.

Thank you I was about to counter that comment before with this, but you took care of it for me.

There are two Counter-terrorist SMU (Special Mission Units) in the United States, Delta Force and Navy DEVGRU (Development Group), formerly SEAL Team 6.

If it was a SEAL team it was a DEVGRU platoon. They are all under JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) of the overall SOCOM (Special Operations Command), but they have a bit more leeway with their orders and where they can operate. CIA SAD (Special Activities Division (Black Ops stuff to the core) was probably involved as well.

There is a LOT of line bluring now a days though between the various service Spec OPS units and a lot of cross work being done. If the group was like the Task Force 21's and 22's of the past then it probably included a nice mix of SEAL's, Green Beret's, Delta, Combat Controller's and even some CIA assets.

Oh, and;

Needed boost for America! WTG Troops!!

Explain why it was dumped at sea.

Two reasons:

1. No country really wanted it.
2. They didn't want his grave either desecrated or turned into a shrine.

having a burial spot would have been a mecca/rally point for the Bin Laden supporters/fanatics/terrorists.

I have a feeling there will be many more *random* searches now at the airports.....if they dont shut down all together.

[ElasticNinja]

Yep. So much for hiding in holes and caves.

You're going to probably live the rest of your life not believing it then. Have fun!

That would have been nice .All terrorists at one spot.Perfect for Ambush.

So, you think terrorists are stupid enough to go and pay their respects?

That's would be every intelligence agencies wet dream!

There is no reason that they couldn't have conserved the body and then thrown it into a furnace at Langley, at a later point; maybe after hanging it from the Statue of Liberty, for example!

 

[VoidedSaint]

great photo!

 

[Knewz]

I'm sure they took pictures. Give it a few hours, there will be leaks of dead Osama.

"Superstitions"??

 

[karandpr]

"Superstitions"??

If we compare his tomb to a shrine and terrorism as a fanatic religion,paying respect to a shrine can be labelled as a superstition.

I am sorry, but the surge of ignorant nationalism scares me (not yours specifically...yours was toned down, but the shit I have been seeing around my liberal college campus scares me). We killed one man behind 9/11. Al Quaeda is still alive. How many problems do we have here in the U.S. that get minuscule amount of funding, yet we spent billions of dollars to kill one man and secure our stake in the oil fields of the Middle East. I am glad that he has finally got what was coming to him, but have we ever considered what 9/11 was actually about?

There is always at least one of you, even though this is a public forum and you're entitled to your opinion, I am as well. Also I'm glad I served in the military to continue to allow people in this country to have the freedom to speak their mind (not talking about here in this forum but in life).

Your welcome! lol

Fools, didn't the US gov't learn anything from Transformers. You can't throw him in the ocean...he'll be back...he'll be back.

I have the utmost respect for all of the men and women who have served to protect the country and I. However, I do not see the point in celebrating the death of an individual. I am happy that the families of victims, soldiers, and fallen soldiers alike can finally have closure. However, the celebrating that went on last night was ignorant, in my opinion. Al Quaeda will live on and terrorism will continue. There is not a simple solution to this problem. Osama Bin Laden's death may give closure to a country and especially to the those directly affected by 9/11, but it doesn't get to the root of everything. I am sorry if I offended you in anyway.

Thank you for your service as I have thanked many of my friends who have gone and protected me also. I was not attacking your bravery.

Maybe he'll float back to the middle east.

That is what we are celebrating...

Thanks to anyone who helped in any way protect and serve this great country!
