Osama Bin Laden is dead

It is wrong to think Westerners gave your leaders weapons with the intention that it would be turned against you.

So Westerner are naive and gullible then?
Or just stupid?

There is an imminent threat of war coming from either homegrown terrorism or Iran in ALL of the countries we deal with, including Yemen, Egypt and so on.

So then pump the devil with weapons and pray the devil isn't true to it's nature and turns the weapons on you?

Brilliant. Really.
I can't think of one fault with that logic

If your suggesting the Arab Spring was foreseeable then i urge you post that crystal ball of yours to 10 downing street so we can better coordinate our foreign policy.

It isn't inevitable human beings who have been repressed and oppressed may eventually turn on those oppressors?
REALLY?

And yet you continue to blame everybody but dear leader. What is this hatred against the West? Racial, religious? Because your bias is illogical, irrational and incomprehensible.
 
I'm sure he and AQ prepared for it, that doesn't mean that it will not have major negative effect on the organisation. Would it be better that this had never happened? That the US concentrated solely on the operatives rather than the figure-head? Hell no!

Despite your reservations, don't you think that this is a positive development?

Laila, would you like to respond to my two questions here? I am interested in your take on this event. I'm not so interested in your argument with Kaya about western responsibility for supplying arms to terrorists. That seems somewhat off-topic in this thread.
 
Anyone who actually thinks Osama Bin Laden played any key role these last few years is having a laugh. As he got older, he no doubt assigned tasks to other key figures. He was merely a figurehead and removing him does nothing to stop the group.

That said.
About ****ing time tbh. 2 unnecessary wars and now they finally find him? In an ally's countries no less and there was my small hopes he'd be in Saudi Arabia just as a insult to the Saudi Royals.

What a great weekend. My 2nd 4 day weekend, a royal wedding and now this.

Hello? Earth to Laila? Three, not two, wars, and the war in Afghanistan was necessary, since it was Afghanistan that attacked the US on September 11th. The Taliban's Commander in Chief is now dead.

Racial? LOL LOL

Really Kaya? I didn't think you'd ever stoop that low
I blame everyone including dear leaders. The difference between you and I is that I acknowledge Western roles in propping and helping make possible the evils the leaders perform whereas you with your bias seem blind to anything and everything

Actually Bin Laden was never part of the Talibany Government or leadership :prof
 
He did not hide in that mansion for all these years. According to the news channels I have seen, he at best had been in the mansion since October 2010.

That's an interesting bit of fiction, since the site in question has been "of interest" since last August.

Uh-oh. The Mayor detects either falsehood or ignorance from this poster.

I know those on the left won't complain about the woman that got killed along with UBL.
 
Racial? LOL LOL

No i was asking, i didn't think that, but i was hoping you could also refute that you hate the West religiously.

I also acknowledge our role in this, only the regimes where propped up to maintain regional stability, to maintain the fight against terrorism and Iran, NOT to kill and maim innocent civilians. We are in Libya making amends and being falsely accused of nefarious agenda's to keep the vile anti-West rhetoric alive by any means.

It really is boring. That brings me back to my point. Damned if we leave you to the slaughter, damned if we dont. Its called anti-Western hypocrisy.

You wanna use I dunno, a source?

And not the one I just googled with your direct quote, cause that isn't an official source.

Please don't waste my time with this pig slop.
 
Bin laden is dead!!!! This is a great day for the world

Oh, the irony...

Which "Bing" gave you that bit of info?

Was it "Crosby?"
 
To anyone who knows a victim, a first responder, or a citizen of NYC -- this means everything.

A mass murder has met justice!!


It does? Really? My family and friends who are dead are still dead. Is it a good thing? sure. Is it "everything" hardley. Lets have some perspective here.

It's a great day for America, and for the civilized world.
 
Hell Yes it is!!

It's traditional American justice. It's divine justice. It's poetic justice.

The only thing that would make this better is if President Obama had the phone number of the mansion and called 20 seconds before the Seal Team landed.

"They have no intention of bringing you in alive."



This is all-American Clint Eastwood justice baby!!!



Divine justice? Really? Irony.

Really sorry Rev to hear about your loss and i share your pain although i cannot begin to imagine how it must feel.

Osama's death wont bring them back but i hope it brings some closure however small.
