Bin Laden is dead

Believe what you want. There is no way he was dumped at sea, it would have been an insult to the brave men that risked all doing their job by attempting to captured him. He should have been buried is a dung pile somewhere. Much more fitting, but even then an insult to the dung beetles.

The official reports are that he was buried at sea. There will be no shrine for terrorist to meet. Essentially, he has been wiped off the face of the earth.
 
Today our World is a better place. Terrorism will not come to a screaming halt, but a very evil person has been eliminated, it is a step in the right direction. This not only helps restore our faith in right and wrong it has helped bring closure to 911 and all who have suffered. God Bless the Navy Seals and all our our military men and women.
 
I am glad he is neutralized! One thing about that 3rd world piece of s*&t is that he pulled off one heck of a military mission over the top technologically advanced country in the world. It did open our eyes to finally realize that these radicals want every American dead!
 
It is a good thing indeed! :good:

For all those involved in New York City and Pennsylvania on 9-11 it will give some closure, finally. Agreeing with Indy Pen Dance there will be others seeking their 15 minutes. That cannot be helped, but they will be hunted down also! Only thing is we will find them sooner next time.

Personally I think the Navy Seals that went on or volunteered for this operation should all receive at least the Navy Cross or better yet the Congressional Medal of Honor!
Just me spouting off!

I would rather have seen him captured and then hung. I would have liked for him to have to face death....knowing it is coming.

Not to be morbid, but I would also like to see a picture of his cold dead body.

I keep seeing stuff about him being buried at sea ??? Why would that be? If they don't publish photos of his corpse, no one will really believe he was killed. Disposing of his body at sea raises questions in my mind.

You just can't make this stuff up.

"We killed him, but we can't prove it because we took no pictures of the body that we don't have because we buried him at sea to show deference to the Islamic traditions of the man we assassinated."

Right about one thing. Who needs to come up with conspiracies when they tell us stuff like this.

"Nothing to see here. Move along."
 
I hope they smeared bacon grease all over him before they chucked him overboard.....

Maybe, just maybe the sharks could stomach him that way....

For you conspiracy people, he probably is in the same freezer now as Walt Disney.....

kind of reminds me of the last scene in the Raiders of the Lost Ark movie.....
 
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr

This is not meant to trample or diminish the great loss of life we have suffered at the hands of Bin Laden and what he stands for. I know others will take his place and carry on his torch in their hatred toward the Western world. My heart goes out to those who have suffered and pray we may find peace someday.

I agree, thanks.
 
Awesomely put Eric!

My thoughts go to our soldiers. I know that they are on high alert in case of retaliation. I hope that this is a step toward peace, and a move toward getting our men & woman home sooner! I'll be keeping all of them and their families in my thoughts - - although I know that this has been a cause for celebration for many, there is people that I know are now more afraid for their family overseas.
 
I have family and friends overseas, in harms way. And yes I am more concerned for them today. I was already concerned for them. I am joyful that his death is a serious blow to our enemies. Yes others will eventually take his place. But in that sort of system that does not happen easily or quickly. It happens more as a accident. It could very well take decades for those sort fo groups to unite under one leader again. All the various leaders will spend a short time united in their cry for vengeance of Bin Ladin. But it will not be long before they are spending more time fighting each other for power rather than threatening my friends and family. Ladin made his choices in life. And I will never come close to feeling remorse that he is dead. My compassion for his victims leads me to hope he rots in hell. In that thought I believe many of his victims would find comfort and closure. They are the ones my heart aches for. Because I care how all this effects them. I will not utter a single word of regret about his death that they may have to suffer reading. Not even if I had any. For those that have lost loved ones or otherwise suffered. Go dance on the beaches, and consider it as good as dancing on his grave.
 
My family have reason to rejoice on 9/11 one of our daughters was living and working in DC rang me at 2am our time to say the world will never be quite the same again, you see she used to visit the Pentagon Daily as part of her work responsibility, good fortune saved her on that day. In celebrating the death of such an inglorious person I caution all of us to remember he was responsible for such grief however he was one of many. Our country is like yours exposed even moreso now possibly time to temper reactions. I trust over time basically we can adjust our lives with others peacefully. My family was involved in the undesirable times
in America when one member was a cosigner to the Declaration of Independance, this came at huge personal cost to both him and his family, he spent the rest of his life in restoring the
Institution he was head of following the looting and burning that followed his participation. He
left the country of his birth by invitation to accept leadership in America. This present involvement commits my country same as yours. Stay safe. Peter.

I agree completely - well chosen quote!

I agree with the sentiment, the quote is eloquent and apropos, but unfortunately this is not a quote by Martin Luther King.

Wow, thank you, Gerry for the clarification. I should have checked more into myself. I still support the words and the idea behind it. But I do hate when I post things that are not wholly true.

I do not want to sound controversial here, but this sums it up for those who think we are "celebrating" the death.

"We're not happy because he was killed. We're happy because the face of terrorism/evil no longer walks free."- Brandon


To apply the quote from Martin Luther King Jr. insinuates what the United States did was "darkness", and I for one do not agree. This country has stood for the "light" since it was created, and many dead Americans on foreign shores will attest to extinguishing the "dark" of others that has oppressed millions in the past and unfortunately will in the future.

I would love to think that everything can be solved peacefully and with love, but the real world doesnt work that way. I am frankly glad that there are people out there that cause those that do evil to fear the "light" eventually catching up to them. I sleep well at night knowing that the light is ever stronger than the dark and hope that it stays that way.

Darkness is the absence of light, and to replace darkness, you must add light, and I hope the light of freedom shines on everyone eventually, and am glad there are people here in the US that can project that light. I am proud of the results of those who chose to end the reign of someone who cast darkness down on millions. Maybe now they can see some light and appreciate what it brings.

Again, my apologies if you think this is controversial, but I cannot stand by and see this solution equated to the US being a "dark" force, no matter who the quote came from.

I don't think there's any need for controversy, so lets not let this thread get out of line by discussing others' opinions about this event.

Hmmmm

I guess I believe that the world is a better place without bin Laden than with him. That being the case it's a good thing that he is gone. While I don't rejoice in his death - because HE believed that death is not the worst thing that could happen to him - I don't think I will mourn him either.
 
My Nice's husband was a guard at Gitmo. He said all water boarding was done overseas and that Gitmo is a holding tank with some real bad A****s that are as bad as in any MAX security prison in the US. A recently retired AF General is a member of our church. He explained it pretty simply. We assassinate leaders of Governments. We execute criminals. Bin Laden was a mass murder therefore he was executed. Sounds simple enough to me. We all know it is much more complicated and political than that. Will there be retaliation? Probably, Did they get the message? NO, Will they ever quit and become peaceful? No. I am not foolish enough to think the world is safer, just one less nut running around. I was born in 1942 and grew up with the cold war, duck and cover and the threat of nuclear war. I saw the Berlin Wall go up and come down. We are in a different more dangerous time now and the US must remain vigilant and ready to act. I think the days of face to face confrontation are about over. The war on terrorism will be one of covert operations and remote control weapons. We don't have the manpower of funds to continue ground wars. That is just my opinion based on what I have seen and learned in my life. Now I am going out to the shop and sort pen blanks, sermon over.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see but I don't agree that the world is better off now that he's (supposedly) dead.

Put yourself in the mind of one of the soldier drones with a grenade launcher strapped on his back or one of the thousands of sleepers in this country........ Up until now, they have just been sitting around quietly, training, waiting for someone to tell him what to do. With their main leader being preoccupied with saving his own butt, he hasn't had a lot of time to dedicate to our annihilation.

Now that he's gone you can rest assured that another "gung ho" lieutenant will be more than glad to step up and assume a leadership role and will try something to make a name for himself and of course the cause!

Before you had hated, now you have hatred fueled by revenge, it'll be interesting to see just how much better off we are!

I'm not sure I can see a difference there - terrorists have not been inactive because bin Laden was alive and I seriously doubt they'll be a whole lot more active now that he's dead. They have been and will continue to strike at the west whenever and where ever they can.
 
Bin Laden is standing before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, suddenly St. Peter gets a tap on the shoulder. Behind him in Heaven, stand 343 firemen, 72 police officers, one k9 officer, 3,000 American citizens & over 5,000 soldiers. "Don't worry St. Peter, we got this!!!"
