Osama Bin Laden is dead.

[Cheesy]

This whole thing just completely stinks to me. A man who the U.S Government "searched for" for 9 years and wasted hundreds of billions of tax-payers money on is just killed and disposed of without a single picture? Not a chance. I've never really gone for the conspiracy theories up to this point but just out of curiosity i researched a bit. It doesn't seam completely unfeasible (to me) that Al Qaeda is just a creation. Before 9/11 no one knew who this bloke was, yet immediately after it we're told it was most definately him who organized this entire thing. Or am i missing something? We were told Al Qaeda had thousands of followers but forgive me if im mistaken. The only images we have seen are of no more than 20 guys running around with guns pretending to be "training". I could have set that up with all the farmers who have rifles around here. What has happened to the others killed in this "operation"? Why is there no evidence of damage to a helicopter? Im unwilling to just accept what we're being told without some concrete evidence. This man has never been proven guilty of anything, no one has proven he exists. Yet he can be killed on the spot? Without a "fair trial".

There's a lot of inaccuracies in your post. Al Qaeda was formed in the late 80's (if 'formed' is the right word onthis case). They were responsible for attacks starting in 1992 in Yemen and and already previously tried to blow up the WTC in 1993. Just because many people hadn't heard of the organisation before 9/11 doesn't mean it didn't exist. This is more down to ignorance rather than anything else.

Never has it been claimed that Al Qaeda had thousands of members. Sympathisers maybe, but as with most terrorist organisations, the actual number of active members is fairly small.

The helicopter crashed apparently due to mechanical failuire. Standard procedure would be to destroy it after something like this.

I think I'll just pass on your opinion that bin Laden has never actually existed :-S

People need to seriously fucking think before they post.

"Justice was done."?

Justice?!

If you think that this was justice, you have no concept of the word. This was vengeance, plain and simple, justice never had a look in.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, It all depends on your concept of justice, too many people justice was done, the guy had the blood of 1000's on his hands, and he admitted it, in many respects justice and vengeance are interchangeable, I must say I would have preferred him to stand trial, just like Eichmann who the Israelis could have easily assassinated.

No he didn't.

Anyone who thinks there is a conspiracy amongst all this should watch this film:

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.zeitgeistthefilm.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.zeitgeistthefilm.com/</a>

Its split into 3 parts; the first is about religon, the second is about 9/11 and is very convincing and part 3 is about the illuminati

Give it your time, its a top film and is even pretty scary in parts.

Damocles, you seem to be suggesting that Osama Bin Laden may not have been responsible for the September 11 attacks?

When I woke this morning to the news that the most hated man the world had died, my first thought was, 'who the hell is going to manage Man U****d now?'

 

[Fame Monster]

Yeah, that sea burial thing seems incredibly suspicious to me.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Yanks had tortured him or he had killed himself, and they were reluctant to tell of the actual events so disposed of the body in a way in which it could never be recovered. Either way, it doesn't really matter because I'm 99.9% certain he's dead. The U.S couldn't fake his death in case he started giving it out again in front of the cameras.

As for justice, if he was guilty of the crimes which I strongly suspect he was, I think his life ending short is the closest you'll get if we're not talking justice in a legal sense.

In an ideal world, he would have faced trial like Goering, Eichmann, Hess and all the other idiots. But if what's transpired is true, taking him out seems to have bin (pun definitely intended) the only option.

Btw, with those two fellas who tried to reform the Blasphemy Law being executed by police officers and now this, Pakistan looks close to being a failed state. We keep being told of this silent majority but too many in power seem to view it as Islam against the world. Not surprising really when you consider that Islam is a religion of conquest. All we need now is for one of them to get charge of the nuclear weapon. That would really fuck up the race for fourth.
