Keep it civil guys.
Alright I am sick of warning people: Trolling, flame baiting, and derailing will result in insta bans.
The same goes for conspiracy theorists and stupidity generally.
Confirmation was as follows
- On-site DNA test which came back as 99% positive.
- photos of face sent to CIA and confirmed with photo analysis
- confirmed by 20 year old wife who live in pakistan.

To quantify oil prices, you have to look at two things: crude oil price, and currency exchange rate. This will give you the general international price. Comparing prices from the stations doesn't tell you much about the real price of oil. Each company will sell theirs at different rates in different countries depending on the costs of transportation/refining/taxes/ etc.

Just to answer some of the people talking about "USA Always saves people's asses" and "They won WW2 for everyone"
The reason USA could even do everything they did after WW2 is because they had never been attacked other than pearl harbor, after WW2 Usa was the richest and most powerful country in the world, they were so rich and powerful they would win a war against any country in the entire world or every single country in the world against them and USA would still win.
Second of all: The russians did most of the work in WW2 making it a two front war, the americans mainly fought the japs.

I think his location thing just says Germany. $4.15 isn't that uncommon for some places in America right now. For a gallon haha. Today I paid 1.65 Euro a liter. Which is over $9 a gallon. You still have it good over there :-)
yeah. and the price is rising constantly...
you americans dont know how damn cheap your gas still is ~~

So... the solider who killed him... did he get the bounty for bin laden's head? If so national hero, rich guy, and pussy magnet for sure.

Bin laden had a massive inheritance to fund with anyway. The US was backing the Afghan-Soviet war in which Osama was involved in. He probably wasn't even a blip on the radar then, and we were trying to stop Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.
It's not like the US sat down at a round table in the 80's and said, 'Okay, we've got this really rich guy who's going to be a terrorist eventually. Let's train and fund him.' I highly doubt the US training was so specific and detailed that it gave him the ability to lead a terrorist organization and execute the attacks. He probably got his ability from many multiple sources.

Does it matter if it was directly or indirectly. Was it not an invited attack?

I'm just loving your logic buddy continue. The US deliberately let its entire pacific fleet get destroyed so it could join the war. Makes a ton of sense, I mean before I fight someone I shoot myself in the foot too. They expected the attack, but not at Pearl Harbor.

Actually, they never expected the attack because the attack happened before the declaration of war. But one can argue that they had pressured japan to do something of that sort with the ABCD formation

Everyone outside the US and many inside believe 9/11 was an inside job? Pearl harbor was an inside job too? Man, what a way to start the war off, kill off nearly your entire Navy. My friend, you can't just say something and wish it to be true. Even if 9/11 was an inside job, AQ has attacked multiple western as well as middle eastern countries and killed thousands if not hundreds of thousands indirectly through inspiring copycats.

Obama wasted Osama. Congratulations, Amies. But hell, he was alive through all decade. How the hell dipshit do that?

Bin Laden had Saudi (US supported) funding but Al-Qaeda was formed off the back of the billions of dollars in funding that the mujahideen in Afghanistan recieved during that time, and the connections between groups existed because of the training camps set up by the U.S., the infrastructure was created by the U.S. government. Was it foreseeable that they would target the West in their terrorist activities, maybe not, but they trained them to BE terrorists undeniably, and Bin Laden was a notable figure in the resistance at that time.

Just because an attack happens before any declaration of war doesn't make it unexpected. I don't think the Iraq or Afghanistan conflicts from the US perspective were unexpected. Yet war was never even declared. Declaring war is often just a formality once diplomatic channels fail.
OT: I'd say this news is good for most of the developed world. The world is probably a marginally safer place because of the symbolic victory here. Opposing team America will ultimately get you killed. You can run but you can't hide in caves for more than 10 years!

That's what usually happens, someone attacks someone and then they declare war with each other. Not too many big wars have been started with someone exclaiming "WE ARE AT WAR!" right before they attack unprovoced.
