Osama bin Laden dead, nearly 10 years after 9/11 terrorist attacks

very nice!

"Hey George, it's Barack. Mission Accomplished! For real this time!"

When I think of "archenemy", I think of someone constantly trying to attack, and bring about destruction of his enemy (US). My first reaction to this is, "Yeah! They shot and killed an old, sick man who has been irrelevant for the past decade".

Well... Done.

megabyteme, with all due respect, I must ask... are you suggesting that he should have gone unpunished for his role in 9/11/01? are you also suggesting that 9/11 occurred less than 10 years ago?

I'm glad the son of a bitch is dead. god bless america.

Let the conspiracy theories commence. I can already see 911 conspiracy documentaries in the making. <3

@eyekey
You shouldn't believe all that the news tells you

Good News!

I do not think so

AbyBeats, Especially if this would be true "Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea, a U.S. official says.". I already see people claiming that it was not Osame bin Laden and that Obama just needed this victory.

I doubt in the end really matters much whatever he is dead or not. I mean it is good that such a person is removed from that organisation, he was afterall a key figure and clearly know how to provoke people in doing what he wanted and know how to orginised these attacks, but at the end you just killed the queen and the other bees are now mad at you ready to sting you.

megabyteme, Because Al Qaeda has been angels since 9/11. There have been attacks after 9/11 and I am pretty sure that he has had his hand in some of them. Beside that what made you think he was sick or even old? He was clearly a healthy man who could still hold a weapon and use an other person as a shield.

He has been dead for a while. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to read better sources of news.

Just one dead man wont make much difference imo but its about time he was dead.
only a few million others to eliminate.

Why did he get buried at sea. he should have been dragged through the streets for the world to see.

The sad thing is "nothing will change" and people will continue to die.

Getting Usama may have been a strategic mistake.

Now it will be hard to justify the continued military occupation of Afghanistan -- just as it was for the Soviets.

@eyekey
If u had brain u would have known it was gov who executed 9/11.
U know few hundred lives were needed to be taken to rage a war and ensure Fuel Supply for Other Millions people

To clarify my earlier post... Yes, it is probably good that he is no longer a mythical rebel evading the all mighty US. However, he was not nearly as key as he has been made out to be. He has been on kidney dialysis, and hiding in caves for years. With poor health, and rough conditions- yet alone the constant pressure of being found and executed could not have been an easy decade.

I am against this war, the lies told to get us in, and the countless lives (both American soldiers, and innocent civilians of a sovereign sandpit hell hole nation) that have been needlessly ended.

Was he part of it, yes. At this point, I am so tired of the pointless, expensive, ineffective, justified-under-false-pretenses, murderous war that I cannot say I am "happy" to hear of another death- regardless of who it is, or his part in 9/11.

Now that we are "celebrating", and announcing this across the world, I am certain this will bring about "terrorist" attacks, and certain civilian deaths. Yeah.

Just count me out of the celebration.

'Bout time they got him

You are making it sound like he's the victim here, & that's bullshit. I don't care if he was on chemo for cancer, he was still an active terrorist, & if you believe otherwise you have your head in the sand.

And regardless how you feel about the US military, they don't generally go out of their way to kill innocent civilians, while terrorists are just the opposite....Innocent civilians are their main target.

I'm never happy to hear someone died...But that doesn't mean he didn't deserve what he got. He was responsible for many other deaths over the years, not just the people on 9/11.

my 1.000th post is to ben laden lol
you MUST SEE LOOSE CHANGE 2 befor talk about "ben laden" and 11/09 , and if you are smart engouth you must know its not true what obama say , there is two possibility :
1- ben laden is dead long time ago now (the last true viedo is 10years old) .... and usa just comfirmed that he is dead and said they killed him recently

2- ben laden is still alive and he realy dont care about what they says


just watch loose change (the non-autorised documentary in the usa) and you can understand more.

The symbolic factor is more important than the actual consequences for the organisation of world wide terrorism. He had become a symbol of 'resistance' in certain extremist cirlces and now that symbol is gone. The psychologic effect is not to be underestimated, as it proves to the rest that every one of them can be caught or killed. While most terrorists are fanatics who accept that threat as part of their fate, some are not and could be 'convinced' to cooperate now.

Whatever though, as long as mankind exists, there will always be people willing to kill for political or religious reasons. Terrorism can not be defeated entirely, especially when states use terror as a means to enforce their interests, it can only be contained.

I am not making sound like a victim. He's another death (among thousands), but at least his was not entirely senseless. I'm just worn out on this. I cannot get "excited" to hear of anyone dying. I mentioed his poor health because someone else (an uninformed, earlier poster) questioned how I knew he was old (uhmmm, his birth date of 1957) and his poor health (news reports discussing his poor health and how he would be able to receive dialysis in caves). As I said, rough decade. My body aches after a weekend of camping with a tent...

I'm completely sick of this war. One does not even need to be a "conspiracy nut" to now we went in to the wrong country, and have been mowing down "terrorists" with small arms who became "terrorists" only after we invaded their country with Apache helicopters with night vision and 1000 round per second machine guns.

I ask you this, pro-war, dead Bin Laden celebrators: if another country invaded yours and flew over your homes with helicopters, and roamed your streets with armed military personnel, would you not become "terrorists" and protect your homes, and your sovereignty? I sure as fuck would.

I'll repeat: we are in the wrong country if we are hunting down those responsible for 9/11. Hint: the terrorists responsible were almost all from Saudi Arabia... As for "terrorist training camps", any of those would have been obliterated in the past decade. All we have forming are those who are now pissed off that we won't leave.

I do imagine this will be a well-celebrated day in communities with pick-up trucks, gun racks, cheap beer, and a lack of accurate, in-depth news sources. For those among us, feel free to C&P this, it will save you the misspelling: "Yeah America, we got that son of a bitch! Now Satan can punish him in Hell!!!"

Finally they took him down.

As someone who masterminded and sanctioned the killing of thousands of innocents, he had to be hunted down until the day he died.
That only happened 10 years later, and at the cost of many lives, but it sends a clear signal to all the terrorist organizations who may want to attack another sovereign nation: we will go after you, no matter how long it takes.

Basically, it's the same retaliation policy Israel has been doing for decades.
