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

[zot]

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.

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!!!"
