Re: Osama Bin Laden Has Been Killed

I think something that all of the people saying,"But he will just be replaced by the next guy in line" don't quite understand is that Bin Laden provided HUGE financial support for Al-Qaeda. His family was one of the richest in all of Saudi Arabia, all that money supporting Al Qaeda gone? That's got to be a big blow.

Re: Osama Bin Laden Has Been Killed

Also, im getting sick of people saying "No soldiers were killed in the process of getting him" Simply not true, Many soldiers have died trying to get this fuckface, and to say otherwise is just not respectful. While this operation did not yeild any casualties, there were many before this one.
The soldiers should have also off'd Osamas wife, because if it was an execution style, better to leave no witnesses.

p.s. its nice to see americans on both sides agreeing for once (besides a select few) that killing this guy was definitly a good thing.

The bitch keeps spouting off that he was executed. saying he was questioned for a time before his death, then executed.

Because it's better than giving it to the welfare junkies here?

Re: Osama Bin Laden Has Been Killed

Idea: Don't take that $2B/year from the taxpayers in the first place! Then who to give it to will no longer be a problem

LOL $2 Billion is a lot less than what is actually being spent, Conservative estimates are at around $14 BILLION. (very conservative).
It seems wars arent like they used to be, where the objective was to destroy the enemy, nowdays its to destroy, but make it ok by throwing money at them to rebuild what we just destroyed.
Kids do this all the time. Build a tower out of blocks, then destroys it, but as long as he knows he can rebuild it, it makes it ok. The US does this as well, tells the people of the country they are about to destroy, "we will rebuild it after we destroy your country and all of its cities" basically to get the ok to kill a bunch of people.
I was listening to Thom Hartman the other day. he stated "Afghanistan's GNP and the sum of all of the wages of the people of that country was around $2 billion a year.... $2 BILLION for all money exchanging hands. Why are we spending $14+ billion a year in a country that only has $2 billion a year. the average person there makes $500 a year in wages. We could have paid each and every one of them $1500 per year to kill the al qaeda themselves and turn in every one of them, and spent much less"

I like the idea of it, but I would bet the average locals are too scared to go against them. I wouldn't be suprised if they just took the money and didn't turn in many people.

Thats the point, if they took the money and ran, who cares as we are still saving money. and maybe they wouldnt have such a sour opinion of america. "maybe these guys arent that bad, they just trippled my annual salary." hahah

Re: Osama Bin Laden Has Been Killed

This is a pretty cool article about how the Navy used trained dogs to help them. The dogs get body armor, an ear piece to get commands, sweet goggles (called Doggles), and a camera on their head.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/slideshow/n...laden-13535860

Now if they can give them a machine gun...
