Osama bin Laden is dead - no graphic/violent images.

[Azza]

Waheyyy, well done BBC.

 

[Metalface Mark]

Good. He didn't deserve his beliefs being respected. I would have disposed of his body in a local sewage works myself.

Everyone deserves a decent send off, sausage rolls should also be mandatory.

 

[anuraj]

LOL obama bin laden is dead

Waheyyy, well done BBC.

 

[BringTheRain]

Cant make it out, dont think the picture is bigger enough!

 

[Evilsod]

Did you really have to quote the image?

I can't blame them, its not going to be the first or the last time Osama and Obama gets typod ><

But surely as the worlds moral compass the west should upholding the rights of the individual and showing these barbaric eastern people how to be respectful.

A guest on the BBC now is calling the disposal of the body an un-Islamic.

Even better if you ask me, doesn't deserve a proper send off.

 

[=VTA=MANFACE]

Anyway, it's a gorgeous day for a B-B-Q and some booze. Another thing on my mind is to decide whether to X-fire my 6970 ?

Ed Milliband, "the world is a safer place"

I don't get how Pakistan is somehow being accused of knowing he was there all along. 60 miles doesn't mean a thing if you aren't drawing attention to yourself. If he had large quantities of arms and people travelling to him then perhaps but I don't get how they could've known.

Its all to do with india and afghanistan, it was all explained on the news this morning.

basically pakistan is and has been scared of invasion by india, so they would need to fall back too afghanistan and re group, there are still people in the pakistan government that are friendly with al quada/taliban to allow this to happen.

Ed Milliband, "the world is a safer place now Labour isn't in government"

Fixed.

Shoould secure another 4 years for Obama! I agree that he has got to be dead otherwise he could just release another video and the Obama would become a laughing stock!

 

[Margaret]

Prime Minister David Cameron hailed the death as "a great success"

 

[stulid]

You can only bury a body at sea if it dies at sea, that is a islamic tradition.

 

[Evilsod]

The problem with that theory is just how ridiculously fragile such a secret would have been. All it would've taken is 1 person not friendly with Al Qaeda/Taliban to have learned the truth and to have informed the US about his location. Hell no-one would've even had to know that Pakistan was involved just to avoid reprisals.

The whole buried at sea thing though... honestly its a lose-lose situation. They disrespect there traditions by burying him at sea (though frankly he's not shown himself to be deserving of any of them in the first place) and Al Qaeda start a **** storm over it. They bury him ANYWHERE and his gravesite becomes a shrine to the fundamentalists and they still start a **** storm because he's dead. Honestly though it makes no difference, they will react at his death anyway, all it will change is HOW they react.

It must be true - otherwise Bin Laden himself could simply release another video which would have devestating effects on the US.

You wouldnt make this sort of claim unless you were certain that wouldnt happen.

I suspect the only credible other theory is that he has been captured alive..

True, but claims made these days have no repercussions. People turn a blind eye as they cannot do much about them.
