Osama bin Laden killed, confirmed.

[Eternal]

Hard to believe it's been nearly a decade since 9/11, eh?

It's about time, although I doubt this will have any major effect on terrorist activities by AL-Qaeda, unfortunately.

[MysticKnightFF5]

Nor did he even cause 9/11, that was another terrorist. He didn't plan it, organize it, or even want it. He was planning something entirely different.
Also, if you look at the evidence they presented, it feels like the USA is bullshitting us hardcore.
"So, where's the body?"
"Where nobody will ever find it! Dead, in the sea, probably with his head blown off. Did I mention in the sea?"
"Any pictures?"
"HELL NO, You think pictures grow on trees or something?"
"...umm...then what do you have?"
"Our word, and these soldiers' words."
"...."
"REST EASY AMURICA, WE DID IT!"

Actually, I heard that the CIA kept Bin Laden's sister's brain to check dna when we supposedly finally kill him, and that the dna between the brain and Bin Laden's body (supposedly in Washington DC) was a match.

Then again, this is all on the word of the US government, which I'm not so sure I trust anymore. After all, it wouldn't be the first time that they either lied to us, or got it wrong.

For once Magitek says something that makes sense!

[RandMuadDib]

There's no way they could have gotten a DNA match so quickly. Shit takes days.

[Melancthon]

How stupid would it be to fake-kill Bin Ladin?  All it would take would be for him to show up in a new video with a newspaper proving the date and everyone would know the government lied about it.  Nobody is that stupid.

[MysticKnightFF5]

...The government HAS done this before, you know.

This photo that circulated a lot through the media these days made me lol so much:

That's shooped from a long time ago, they havent released anything.

I disagree. Bin-Laden is the figurehead of Al-Qaeda; he's the face of the organization. It's a hard blow to terrorists' inspirations. They no longer have anyone to rally around.

[MysticKnightFF5]

Besides the several tacticians, you mean?

[GeneralStrife]

Who gives a @#$@#$? The bastard that claimed the responsibility of the lives of thousands of innocents on 9/11 is GONE.

[MagiusRerecros]

According to the U.S. government. They "dumped the body in the sea". They could very well be lying to us; wouldn't be the first time.

[MysticKnightFF5]

Actually, he wasn't behind 9/11 or claiming to be the organizer of that. That was one of his tacticians I mentioned.

Well, that's your right to disagree, even though you are wrong.  He's now a martyr to them; a victim of the "great Satan", America.  Fighting a group like Al-Qaeda is akin to fighting a hydra, you cut off one head, and another springs forth.  This isn't a game where you kill the general and woo-hoo you've won the game!  No, there is a radical ideology that must  be addressed.  Killing bin-Laden, especially considering the circumstances, will only strengthen the resolve of others within the organization.  Remember, this is a group that uses kamikaze-style tactics, they do not fear death.  To them, death holds a great reward, and they truly believe that they are fulfilling the will of Allah, not bin-Laden.

[VampragonLord]

see, youre not supposed to kill him, then he is a martyr, youre supposed to bring him back alive, and throw him in the deepest darkest pit so everyone just forgets about him.

[Pickle Girl Fanboy]

I wonder what the chans were like when the deed went public?
