Osama Bin Laden is dead

[bodie]

there is a picture

fair enough.   can you see the headshot wound?

oh, i noticed it says fake on it, but the same one was on a bbc link 

  Eeeew    looks like they gouged his eyes out!

Maybe to keep as a trophy

It is fake.

Sure the second photo is a copied and edited version of the first one. Look at the photographer's angle of both pictures.
They're quite obviously exactly the same. (teeth, lips, nose and ears)

His last act was to cower behind his wife, and make sure she was killed.

He didn't need her, he's got virgins on tap now

I'm in two minds about this.

On one hand , I am glad he's dead , he did deserve to die plus it may weaken Al Quaida temporarily.

On the other , they shouldn't have killed him straight away , I mean they could have interrogated the guy and found out more about the Al Quaida operations THEN execute him if they must.

Idk I just thnk there was information to be obtained from his capture rather than the gratification of his death. 

I believe the orders were bring him in alive if possible.  The fact was that he resisted and there was a shoot out.  Better to have killed him while getting an opportunity
than risk him loose another ten years.  I wonder what will happen to the 25 million bounty that was on his head?  will that go to whoever fired the shot?

True , but I can't shake the feeling that someone was a tad trigger happy.

*whispers to squiddeh...Americano's - they never slow on the trigger?

We're talking about SEAL Team Six here. They're the very best of the best, the most professional of the professional.

If it was possible to take him alive, he'd be alive today.

would have thought there long journey home would be more fun with something to play with!

Haha~ On the bus today I heard a man going on about this. He was seriously going on about Osama being drunk because there was a whiskey bottle or something near him where he died...

Considering he's been missing for 10 years and was responsible for 9/11 , I doubt that anyone would be able to resist just murdering him.
(I'm not blaming them of course , it's only fair they'd feel that.)

Idk , I can see why they killed him but I still stand by that he would have been more useful alive , then they could execute him.

So proud to be an Amuricun

What a fucking idiot. 

Fuckwads like that are only egging on Al Quaida into making revenge attacks, absolutely stupid.

Imagine living like he has the last ten years never knowing when this was coming but knowing it could happen at any moment

   the best of the Americans?  Na, they were always gonna kill him.  And it would be silly keeping him alive anyway, we'd have his followers taking hostages, and demanding his release etc.
