Just ask the families of the victims of 9/11

Oh please.....when are we going to stop playing the "families of the victims of 9/11" card....like they are the only people in history who have suffered a loss and thus their views on the subject are any way relevant.

That's why we have impartial juries.... (when it suits us)

Lucky he didn't want to be captured hey.

In reply to your earlier post on the legality of the operation within Pakistani borders without their permission, you have no idea of what permissions they had or required so I find it a little presumptuous to judge it until the Pakistani Authorities either confirm or deny such accusations.

That is what Sky and the BBC are reporting. Should we not believe that bit of the story because not doesn't paint America as the all conquering heroes.

Didnt deserve anything more than a bullet in the head. Got it.

Muzza1875 · 2 May 2011 at 09:26

Photoshopped?

not really suitable for the forums is it?

Danthus · 2 May 2011 at 09:27

As for 9/11 check out the FBI most wanted, 9/11 isn't listed as one of bin Laden's crimes.

He must have come out of his complex of massive hollowed out mountains up in Tora Bora which no-one could find. Then escaped with his kidney dialysis machine on horseback with the other three members of the dastardly group 'Al-Qaeda', which literally means "the database". Stop swallowing all the crap the corrupt media feeds you without chewing it first, you servile morons.

Drag your slider to 5.45 and listen to this utter claptrap. It is almost unbelievable that supposed intelligent people believe this psuedo science nonsense. They move you around like pointless pawns on a chess board.

Stop with your conspiracy theories.

See what I wrote

The experts on the news channels are saying they wont have been told, and are trying to save face.

I'm going to be feeling a bit jumpy on the tube for the next couple of weeks, as no doubt some Jihadi's are rubbing their hands at the prospect of 'revenge'.

It makes you wonder how long the Pakistan government new he was staying at that location. And would they have had the balls to do anything about it, if the US had not got involved.

Wow a lot of tinfoil hats being firmly nestled on noggings in here.

And also, who else is living in that country who need to be brought to justice.

again, not suitable...

Of course it's fake.

The image can be found on pages from last year, but shows how stupid some people are to not see glaring oddities in pictures.

Pakistan's Foreign Office has released a statement confirming the operation: "In an intelligence driven operation, Osama Bin Ladin was killed in the surroundings of Abbotabad in the early hours of this morning. This operation was conducted by the US forces in accordance with declared US policy that Osama Bin Ladin will be eliminated in a direct action by the US forces, wherever found in the world."

Doesn't sound much like their policy was to capture him...sounds closer to assassination to me

*Edit* - not that I care tbh they killed him, its just the hypocritical moral high ground BS that gets stuffed down our throats all the time, but which can be ignored and justified whenever it suits us.

Well I supose I'm in that camp.

Call me a cynic but I'd be less suspicious of this if they'd said they'd shot him as he drove down Dealey Plaza.

Ten thousand pieces of gold for the body of Ali-Baba and the destruction of the band of thieves.

There hasn't been any proof that Bin Laden has been alive for many years, aside from a few obviously fake videos of him. The whole Bin Laden and Al Qaeda mythology has been smoke and mirrors from start to finish. I don't know what the truth of this latest story is but of course most people will unquestioningly accept it at face value, they know that. Those of us who stop, think and question, can be dismissed as conspiracy theorist nuts.

WOW, he was living only a few hundred METERS from the main Pakistani military base in a big sealed off compound For shame Pakistan, for shame!.

Egg on the face of Pakistan and I bet the UK government are hopping mad about not being pre-warned.

What is interesting is that they've discarded the corpse as if it was trash (message #1). No chance for idolisation (#2) and no objection from Saudis or Pakistan (#3).

Seems that the Arab League, away from the public face, also wanted the thorn out of their side.
