I would if they offered us any evidence whatsoever that they got him. First rule of the internet is pics/video or it didn't happen. There are no pics. There is no video. Nothing happened. My guess is they finally found conclusive evidence that he died of natural causes 5+ years ago and wanted to take credit for it.

I guess your right, but you gotta admit, Osama good at being a coward, he must have been a total bro at hide'n'seek as a kidspectrenihlus said:
I don't think it really changes anything. He hasn't been the actual leader of Al'Qaeda fo a while and now he's seen as a martyr.
If it gives any relief to the friends and families of people affected by 9/11 that is great but I think that is the only thing that could come from it even remotely to our advantage. He is just one person from millions that hate us personally for the choices of our political leaders, the prosperity we have and the lives we lead. There is no way we can make them like us and I think our only other choice is to keep them hiding in disorganized fear.
He's dead; and maybe it was for the best, maybe not, but I'm not really happy about it like everyone that surrounds me is. He's dead, woo, but that doesn't change the foul acts he has committed. If anything, it could only encourage more people to try and take his place, which could make matters worse.
I'm not exactly ecstatic, but I still care about what's going on.

Nah i don't care... Also you can't really say "justice has been done" until he's been on trial and convicted... Yeah good luck with that
I am glad that bin Ladn is finally dead, but at the same time I wonder if it will change anything in the long run. That's something quite unsettling to think about.
Bleeding heart? Those are cold statistics, not some "think of the children" type whinge. End of the day, thousands of people are dead, and you don't give a shit? Says loads about you really... I think there are a load of people have have a pretty strong opinion on folk like thatKingsman said:
he's dead, that's a good thing, he was an extremist and an all round terrible, hate filled person, and the only reason I feel bad about his death is that now he will never be held accountable for the atrocities he had a hand in. but all in all, good riddance.
however I not naive enough to assume this changes anything, he was not the sole cause of islamic extremism and it will continue without him.

I dont really care if hes dead cause it is more of a moral victory for the US than an actual victory over terrorism.
He hasn't been relevant in years, so it changes absolutely nothing. Still, I suppose he's better off dead than not dead.
From what i heard he went down shooting, but he also went down using his wives a living body armour. hardly sounds like a martyr to be but hay, someone at some point will make everyone think he was and then were really gonna be up creek without a paddle.gellert1984 said:
He didn't even really commit 9/11, he just organized it. I believe the 19 people responsible died almost 10 years ago. Credit where credit is due, people.
Just like Hitler wasn't actually responsible for the holocaust because he just organized it. By your logic no leader is actually accountable for anything.zelda2fanboy said:
OT: I am thrilled, straight-up. Over two-thirds of my life has been spent watching bin Laden rise to power as his attacks got more and more vicious. When I was little a group of terrorists would hijack a plane and take people hostage as collateral for political demands; all this suicide bombing and murder for murder's sake is just plain mad.
