    Default Breaking News - Bin Laden Dead?

    Obama about to give breaking news within the next 10 minutes. CNN says we have 100% proof we have Bin Laden's body.

    imo nothing will change as far as terrorism goes

    bin laden was a major threat because of is cash, the cash hasn't disappeared and will be handled by a new man with the same goals and aspirations

    It will be interesting to see if there's a major influx in terrorist attacks in the next few weeks. Hope not

    well its sort of like the americans have a trophy now for being at war with whoever it is they are at war with these days (I pay no attention to this stuff) because they haven't really had much to show for it (as far as I know?) aside from soldiers (Canadian ones too) dying and billions (?) of tax dollars being flushed away into military stuff.

    just my speculation..

    You know why you should watch The Young Turks? Because two years ago Cenk examined Obama's policy change on terrorist cell search and predicted that we would get Bin Laden within a couple years
  17. #17
    Oh and nothing about terrorism will be neutralized. The big money and big politics interests need it, and it will only get bigger over the years.

    This is symbolic and will help Barry get reelected

    The genius of Bin Laden was his ability to unite disparate groups of loons, losers, castoffs in the Muslim world ready to kill themselves with deep-pocketed sympathizers, criminal arms dealers and strategists. Regardless of how much influence he still had over direct terrorist operations, removing him is a pretty huge blow to AQ simply because of his symbolic value as the guy who was living free as the most wanted man in the world.

    Interesting that the statement was a very verbose standard speech, Barry's properly taking ownership of this.

    I stopped thinking about Osama ~2 years ago, so he's been dead to me for a long time.

    or

    If a Muslim dies in the desert and no one is around does he make a sound?

    Just listened to Obama's press conference. He was keen to take ownership of that one, "I" this and "under my" etc etc. Made me like him a little less, I would have thought this would have been a time for humility.

    Admittedly I pay little attention, but for the first time I got the feeling today that, to use a 24 analogy, Obama is more president Logan than President Palmer.

    Does this mean the *war* is over? Does this mean everybody gets to go home? Does this mean no more innocents are going to die to make a statement?

    If so I'm happy. If not I couldn't care less.

    This is my hope. That Obama can just brush his hands off and say, "Good war fellas. Let's wrap it up."

    As long as there is a desolate, rocky, barren, worthless piece of land for goat-loving men to fight over, then the fighting will go on. I think we should add some uranium fallout to their precious part of the world.

    Symbolically it's cool I guess just for the people who still harbor some anger about 9/11 but in the end it really doesn't change a single thing. The occupation of the middle east isn't ending any time soon.

    It won't be ending with gas prices at $5 a damn gallon.

    According to the 'lamestream media,' we're more susceptible to terrorist attacks NOW more than ever.
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    Yup. Turn the whole godforsaken place into a glass parking lot. The only thing that bothers me about Osama's death is that I'm not the one that pulled the trigger.

    Believe it or not, his name is from an entirely different language. I don't think his parents considered the confusion in translating when they named him.

    Best quote I've read: "A man is killed.

    And the politicians will say "behold the bad guy, dead by our righteous hands." And the good hearted people will rejoice and sleep in their beds and know justice exists in this world. And the few will lord over the many. And the wars will continue. And bombs will still fall. And people will still die. And one day a McDonalds will stand where once a missile struck like lightning. And an orphan will super-size your meal for an extra dinar."

    getting reemed by fee hikes, ca
    lololol at anyone thinking this changes anything/ makes shit any better.
    blows my goddamn mind how stoked everyone is about this/lol at all the DC bros in front of the whitehouse making goddamn fools out of themselves.
    imean ffs i understand if ones bitter about a family member being killed on 9/11 or whatever, but fuck, killing osama for "revenge" or "justice" is just fucking retarded.
    also, no way in hell this means the war is "over" or our troops come home now, despite what halfwits on fb are posting as their status'
    /rant

    that being said, the guy who shot osama is prob so shithoused right now.

    I wonder what the story is... like how it all went down. You would think that the goal would be to get him alive.

    Also, it should be pretty clear to people that a martyr was just made. Former Bin Laden followers are not going to suddenly be like, "Oh snap, the big hancho is dead!... well I guess America isn't so bad.. maybe I'll immigrate and drive a taxi in NYC or summfin..."

    Of course Rush Limbaugh has to be a sarcastic douche about all this:

    “Ladies and gentlemen, we need to open the program today by congratulating President Obama,” Rush began his show today (via Entertainment Weekly). “In fact, it may be that President Obama single-handedly came up with the technique in order to pull this off.… Thank God for President Obama. If he had not been there, who knows what would have happened.”

    “Not a single intelligence adviser, not a single national security adviser or military adviser came up with the idea. Not one of them — not one of them, according to Obama — had the ability to understand the need to get DNA. This was Obama’s message last night. He said, quote, ‘I assembled the team.’ He refused to give the team the green light for the last three months, ’cause the team wanted to go in and create mayhem, and Obama alone — Barack Obama alone — knew the right way to do this.”
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    Right or wrong are entirely without meaning when you're talking about who should be taking credit for this.

    Everyone knows that it doesn't fall to one person. Everyone knows Obama is best situated to put the accolades in his pocket and back-patting on his back. So it goes.

    It's just like how empty Obama ending his speech with all that God crap is. It's just an aside to the meat of the fun. Usama is dead.

    best article I've found so far:

    Clues Gradually Led to the Location of Osama bin Laden - NYTimes.com

    you can skip the dramafun to the subheading "Filling in the Gaps"

    who took these pictures? do they have one oober secretive, completely-sworn-to-secrecy press rep at these meetings (oxymoron, no?), or does one of the cia guys have an iphone and is like, "imma snap a pic of this shit"

    the pics on cnn are really cool. i've never seen such highly classified meetings get documented like this (then again, i'm young and am not a huge press junkie).

    also, i like how the general at the head of the table is like, "watchin this shit gives me the hankerin to play counterstrike. i wonder if anyone would notice if i snuck a game in right now..."
