Osama Bin Laden is dead.

[Longsight-memories]

Was watching this last night on the telly.. in my opinion the yanks have done this totally wrong..
If they had him in sight they should have just taken him out without the publicity, this has been done to give Obama a PR coup..problems i see ahead are many..You can guarantee the Pakistanis knew where he was and are involved with him..that brings in a nightmare scenario of a nuke going off in
Some western country just hope its not the UK

I agree with some of this. I think this is a huge PR moment for Obama, and he is milking it for all it is worth. He's off to Ground Zero today to make sure he gets every single bit of air time he can. There was too much use of the 'I' word in his speech when announcing it - it just doesn't feel right. The worst thing I can say about the bloke is that he reminds me of Bliar.

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

Yes, I am. In fact, I'm not just suggesting it, I'm outright stating it as my frank opinion. There's nothing that I've ever seen to suggest that 9/11 was planned, directly funded, organised or executed by Bin Laden in any way, shape or form. I have seen a admitted forged video in which a double took responsibility, and I've seen some quotes from a US mouthpiece terrorist.

I apologise if I'm unwilling to take a terrorist at his word. Please provide any evidence of his involvement apart from those two I've mentioned.

Do you have any better evidence to prove that Hitler was responsible for the Holocaust?

What are your thoughts on people who suggest that perhaps the Holocaust was an inside job by the Jews?

As someone who has lost someone because of Al Qaeda, I find your posts extremely insensitive.

See what I mean?

"The 'V' signs being displayed". Unfortunate turn of phrase, or lost in translation, I wonder. Disgusting scenes.

That's really opened my eyes.

Why? If Ian Huntley was killed by a vigilante mob I'd expect to see people cheering. I wouldn't have expected to see people cheering when he killed those innocent girls though. There is a world of difference here, and if you can't see it, you're blind.

Someone, please, go on Google Maps and type in "Osama Bin Laden's Hideout Compound".

I have an open mind.. how many did Dust Bin kill at the most 10000 ?

And how many did Bush Jnr kill a million+ and fucked up two or 3 countries along the way..who is the bigger terrorist?

I know.

But it's just... opened my eyed to how scary that is. I have my suspicions about whether the Pakistani government actually knew Bin Laden was in their country. How could he go unnoticed for so long?
