You can kill one man but what of his followers and do they have the capability to carry on in his name?

It is very unlikely that Osama has been in charge for years, due to his notoriety and price on his head. For years he has just be a figure head and public face. This wont really change anything.

They did not allow the hanging to be filmed. How can you not see that.

Yup you are right, there was a gun fight and the Americans were overpowered.

Just like the 'we best not keep his body incase the terrorists kick the American military bases door through and take it' comment from the other guy

Doesn't sound like some suicidal hard case...

Theres two sorts of suicide you know?

One where you do it to yourself, and one where you force an opponent (police/Army etc) to kill you

The first doesn't make sense.

As for the 2nd, As you say I didn't say that, so why bother saying anything about it?
why keep the bodie? Why keep it at a military base.

They missed a trick. Could have pulled a Weekend at Bernies on the corpse. Got some guy using Osama like a puppet and ordering the rest of the terrorists to turn themselves in.

I'd like to say you're right but I think it will just lead to more needless death.

Obama - "Justice has been done."

Really? All the soldiers that have died over one guy is justice?

Abbotabad District Council are planning to fine Barack Obama $125 for taking out a Bin on a bank holiday.......

Although it is obviously a good thing that he has been found and killed - I fear for the retaliation

introverts and extroverts
willing and unwilling
emos and goths

ok you lost me....no wait i get it.
wrist slitting and sticking a gun in your mouth.
but what about jumpers , would't that make 3 ?

give me a day or two and i'll get it...still quicker than the Yanks though, took them 10 years.

He retired as the world champion of hide and seek

Sadly as much as id like to believe this...i call shens until i see a pic of his face and his body...yes i know that will never happen...all we will get is a body bag with the US saying its him but call me pessimistic but i dont think its him...its just a smokescreen tbh, one that we have been force fed over the past 10 yrs or so.

Id like to be proven wrong so will wait to make my final decision but you have to wonder that if this is true, with all the tech we have at our disposal..why on gods earth its taken the Allied forces or the US namely such a long time to find bin Laden and be done with him??...personally i think he died a while back and this fella they killed is probably someone else.

But like i said im waiting to be proved wrong

No, theres doing it yourself by pulling a trigger etc.

or forcing a marksman/spec ops/police to kill you.

actually.

So Osama did commit suicide.

there is a technical term for this suicide.
