Moderator's Warning:
This thread is for discussion of the death of Osama Bin Laden and its affects on policy, the wars, the world, or general arguing or views on it that are negative or partisan in nature. Please, no complaining in this thread that people can't just enjoy the death, or for making it overly partisan (unless you have an argument related to it, not just a complaint). Again, this is for discussion, positive or negative, of how this death impacts or reflects upon things/people.
 
Would the American soldiers who killed him have any chance of the $25 Million dollar reward for Laden.
 
Justice always makes the world better.

I am wondering that too. They should give em that money but they will probably try to say they were just doing their jobs. They should get that reward money.

I doubt it, but wouldn't it be great if they did and they donated it all to the families of the victims of 9/11?

Honestly, I don't see this as being any kind of victory of Bush. He dropped the ball, took his focus off of bin Laden, and for 7 years he came up short. Obama came in, refocused on bin Laden, and got it done in two years. To me, it shows that Bush was wrong to take his eye off the ball.

My response to this in the other thread before it was locked was that Bush's mistakes about taking his eye off the ball weren't the place in that thread. President Bush started this by first going after him and President Obama ended it. It doesn't matter what, you, me, or anyone else thinks about how Bush conducted the war. President Obama owned it to Bush not only as the former president, but as man to man. Bush had the right to hear from Obama that we got the bastard first. Bush had the right to know what he started Obama helped finish tonight.

Anybody directly or indirectly involved with the intelligence and the mission should split it.

I've got no problem with that.
 
However great this news is, I fear for the safety of our troops in the middle east. I'm sure it is going to be a rough couple of weeks ahead. Here's to hoping they remain as safe as possible.

Finding him was the result of a tip -- I'd say the tipster has a good chance...

As well as the 9/11 responders health funds.

I fear this as well. I wonder if there will be any attempts at retaliation.

Actually, I hope that the reward money can be split among the entire unit. They deserve it.
 
The American soldiers who killed this bastard should be the ones get the credit. Not Bush and Not Obama. I already talked to my mom who said she hopes Obama does not take all the credit as Bush was the one who started this:roll:

Due to the efforts of both Bush and Obama, their networks are in shambles.

But to the extent the 'dragon' still has some claws, I hope the troops stay safe.

I imagine there will be a temporary upsurge of random violence, but it will subside fairly quickly... hope so, anyway. (like when they wrapped up zarqawi)

I think it's guaranteed. I do a lot of travelling and I can tell you, I would not want to be anywhere near the middle east or Africa right now, even as a tourist.

He took the right amount of credit in the speech. Most of his words of praise went to the intelligence and military.

Right, but it only takes an idiot with a gun to retaliate in the name of bin Laden.

I'd say whomever it was, if they were smart, already have that and more... of course it could have been some random do gooder give the tip.

If it was from a tip, I hope that person stays safe and should be welcome to our country if they are not a citizen.
 
Cue the conspiracy theories.........

Bush dropped the ball and abandoned this.
