Osama is really not a tactical player anymore, just a figurehead. We may see a rise in terror, but the fact is the group is spread and multilayered now. Anytime you shut down the owner, all the managers go into business for themselves. They're always planning attacks, him dead doesn't change anything except they may try some sooner, but that will also expose other top leaders.

We should do like biblical days, cut his head off and run it up a flag pole at the World Trade Center site

Indeed. Bin Laden's heir apparent, Ayman al-Zawahri, is a harsh, divisive figure who lacks the mystique that bin Laden used to hold together Al-Qaida's various factions. So, probably the greatest terrorist threat to the U.S. is now the newer and more energetic Al-Qaida franchise in Yemen, far from their current core in Pakistan. Like Hamas and Hezbollah they will keep morphing.

But I'll still enjoy the moment.

The news just said Osama was buried at sea, not sure why and I have my doubts... Seems a lil early.

If so, guess fish gotta eat same as worms... Either way, fish shiat is as good as worm shiat...

Pisces is certainly blessed by the Al-Qaeda or any other religious sect pro ... It's best to strike while the iron is hot..

I couldn't care less to be honest.

Some part of me feels he should have been on trial for what he did.

Another part of me is sad he won't get the chance to enjoy the 'room service' at Guantanamo Bay.

But both parts of me don't want to see him becomming a martyr because of it.

So for once, both of these fishes agree and are happy and with the Status Quo.

Salute to the forces involved!

"Another part of me is sad he won't get the chance to enjoy the 'room service' at Guantanamo Bay" there had been a good idea.My previous post about the fish was a "joke" which I still think you understand,

I can think of two reasons. 1st people of his religion believe they should be returned to the earth when they die. Secondly nobody can dig him up.

Without a doubt, there will be more brainwashed scum wanting to step into Bin Ladin's shoes, and more attacks by terrorists in days to come...

... and today's events will, without a doubt be debated until we all draw our last breath...

... and the tree of freedom will no doubt be further nourished with the blood of brave soldiers and citizens...

HOWEVER, Bin Ladin did not escape. Today, good prevailed over evil.

To all men and women who serve the cause of freedom, and their communities, THANK YOU!

TODAY... IS A GOOD DAY!!!

Executing Bin Laden was the right thing to do... and even that doesn't BEGIN to make up for what he did.

You know right from wrong.

What he did? killed few thousand americans, and how many civilians have died in iraq etc... because of american army? TENS OF THOUSANDS! and who remembers them? There is no good and evil just kill, kill, kill!! Over and over again.
Wait,hold on now,Bin Laden was and will be an icon for all the terrorist groups that are, or call it the "cells" that are built up and out attacks around the world.Regarding what happened with Iraq, one can not blame neither the U.S. Army over what went on, or going on about it to be rhetorical really, now it's been well documented since long back on the withstand stress the country has suffered and which includes the days before Saddams time,and it is not about killing, in this case it was really a tactical move that has advantages and disadvantages like everything when it comes to what to do, and now they have succeeded in the primary, which is important, but the mix not enter the second piece of this, it has its own ongoing story, certainly not too distant but at the moment is not relevant in this context, let us distinguish it .. and see a world without B laden, and future triumphs of that is important.

It's not a matter of good and evil, we have knowledge. Knowledge in itself isn't good or evil, but what we choose to do with it certainly can make it good or evil.

Well said, Todd. Well said.

And don't get sucked into a debate with some sour ass fools* who see so many shades of grey they're virtually blind to reality.


*Not pointed at anyone in particular.

Yeah, the message is that we don't ever stop. You will be hunted as long as it takes to kill you. Next in line steps up... he's next.

They should put all their heads on spikes (near the low tide mark if it's the Navy again )
