So Bin Laden is Dead, what now?

[CorruptedCow]

The worst possible outcome for the U.S. A live detainee to be put on trial, even if it would have been a show trial, would have been better than a Matyr. Even a live fugitive was better than a dead Matyr.

Let me ask you this, did that rebellious Jewish cult stop and disband when their leader was nailed to the cross by Romans?

Assuming that the man nailed to the cross told all his followers to kill everyone that went against them?

Side note: look up words in the dictionary before you decide to use them to look smart, i.e. "matyr", because it matters.

Eh, he was going to probably win anyway, all the Republican candidates suck.

Meh, no arguements there, but I guess I just had a small tear drop of hope =P

 

[B-Rye]

As if he ever mattered.

He did. HE was the guy who organized AlQuida and avoided death during the span of two and a half presidencies.
Now Al Quida knows that hes not invincible and that he wasn't the prophet he made himself to be. Sure they will call him a martyr but any Muslim with half a brain in his/her head doesn't have to worry about him soiling their religion and reputation.

I agree with this. Most of the muslims I know outright condemn him for his actions. You can bet that the majority of the Muslim world will be celebrating also.

 

[JWAN]

Great now republicans will want to see a long-form death certificate because there's no way he'd kill a fellow muslim

oh chill out already. The best news in years and already its turning into a political clusterfuck.

Obama said in his speech that he continued Bush's policies and expanded on them in order to pull this off and for once he made a great, neutral speech. Don't fuck this up for the rest of us.

 

[DoubleFlip]

I really doubt Osama had much of an input to Al-Queda these days anyway. the whole idea of a terrorist cell is that nobody knows anything except their particular mission, having a "mastermind" and delegates would be too dangerous for a terrorist organisation to maintain. today is a historic day, yes. but it is more a moral victory than a strategically important one.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

What makes you all think that he won't be replaced instantly? It's not like there is a shortage of Muslim religious extremists. But, fine, if you consider him the great villain whose death means that an era of peace and prosperity has begun, I won't get in the way of your celebration.

 

[TConti]

The world now waits for its next bogyman.

 

[Timmibal]

I hope it was slow and painful. I also hope the bullet was greased up with pork fat. If it wasn't we should claim it was.

Fucking this. Get it viral you fuckers! (RTFF if you don't know why a bullet dipped in pig grease is significant.)

Not to shit in the well deserved cereal, but I'm a little concerned regarding the fallout from this. Didn't one of bin Laden's butt-buddies say something about 5 years back about them keeping a nuke against the day he got pwnt?

Hope customs aren't hitting the champers too hard tonight, this could get messy.

 

[Derek Westlund]

someone said something about kicking a hornets' nest and i think that's about accurate

a guys with a bomb larger than said nest just kicked it as his patience ran out and he contemplated using his favorite patented "big boom device"

i personally hope the hornets make a bigger mistake and try to bomb us again so the politicians say "fuck it, bomb them out of existence"

yes lots of casualties but they were going to happen anyway this just gets it done sooner

apparently they have a body and have dna confirmation that its him. they also killed one of his sons and a woman that was taken hostage was killed in the firefight. 2 other women were injured and one of the choppers had to be abandoned due to mechanical issues. all i know so far

Fuck... Some production company is listening to all these developments with a rapidly swelling dick in hand and visions of SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER 2012 (Directed by Michael Bay) flashing before their eyes.

inb4 paramount pictures announces a bidding war.

 

[Blatherscythe]

Want to know something else? Adolf Hitler killed himself on the same day Osama Bin Laden was killed, May first. That or May first was when they announced Hitler was dead. Isn't it great what you can learn from your father of German descent?

On topic, I'm glad the bastard is dead and may the fundamentalist nutjob burn in hell for his actions. Too bad they couldn't get him alive, bullet to the brain is too good for his level of human trash.

 

[pope_of_larry]

I'm glad, but holy shit, there are so many people on Facebook (which I need to delete) who are going, "Who is Osama?" or "Who gives a shit? He didn't do anything."

And one girl thought Osama is our president...

I had someone post "i'd rather Obama be dead then osama"

 

[HHKelevra]

Word is he was taken out by a US Navy SEAL team.

Do I hear SOCOM 5?

 

[The Seldom Seen Kid]

As if he ever mattered.

Was pretty much my reaction.

It really doesn't change much, he's not the only terrorist, and there's certainly someone who will take his place.

Maybe, but those religious asshats don't have half the funds Osama had. Besides, they'll probably be in turmoil for a while, shock and all that.

 

[RicoGrey]

What will happen now?

Unfortunately I assume more terrorist attacks. probably some rather large and nasty ones. Still though, Bin Laden had to go.

I look up "matyr." I'm still not sure what the word means but it looks like it's got something to do with Ragnarok Online.

 

[eljawa]

Just saw the news, Bin Laden is dead, check any news channel, its true. So, what now, will the US pull out? or what?

All I see are rumors. Screenshot, or it didn't happen.

or you could just like...google it...and not be lazy.

but if we pull out now Osama will be used as a martyr and we run a risk of al queda reorganizing. if there is any way we can go and end the organization while promoting world wide acceptance of culture and lifestyle while helping the middle east to build governments less succeptable to harboring terrorism...THEN we will be ready to pull out


and wow people. Rather than being a dick about the facts people get off legit news sources, just use google and verify it yourself. I mean, idk, for some reason people asking for links and stuff today is pissing me off
