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.

This thread is specifically dedicated to the details surrounding the raid/his death.

No, I think he has a good point. The effect of a martyr can become more powerful than the life of that person.


As true as that might be. I'd rather him be dead and be more powerful, than alive and just a figurehead.

Watching CNN live here. Apparently this was done by a "human operation" meaning some ppl literally got the honor to pwn bin laden. After a long 10 years this guy is finally dead! This is going to give us a huge psychological edge in the fight against terror.

Most devastating attack on US soil in the history of the country. It's been almost a decade. The statement by the president gives closure to the nation.


How is it in anyway closure?
The supposed leader of Al Qaeda is dead the group isn't.
Isn't this just going to fuel them to do even more.

What is with the praise of Obama? its like he personally went and did i
Saying stuff like he won his second election and all that?
Doesn't everyone hate him and think he has done nothing for the country? But na he killed osama so we can let him run the country some more?

Not saying he is a bad president or anything. These are more questions on what you guys who have a much better understanding of how the US government works.

It's symbolic. Killing Bin Laden unifies the West (and most of the world) and demoralizes Islamist radicals. It also helps lessen the impact of the 9/11 attacks on the world.

In a way, it's insignificant just as much as the WTC attacks were. The towers weren't key to the American infrastructure. They weren't even a 100th of 1 percent of the economy in NYC. But they carried symbolic value.

Well it either demoralizes them or whips them into a frenzy. My big fear is that we've just kicked a hornet's nest.
Fear is freedom! Subjugation is liberation! Contradiction is truth!

Average american is retardly stupid. It's like trying to play Mafia with a bunch of stupid towns people in SC2. Just because Osama died under Obama's watch means Obama = reason he died. This will definitely help his re-election. Not all the country hates him. Mostly just the right-wing nutjobs, same people who think he was born in Kenya and that 9/11 was an inside job.


Yea we all are totally blind and will open up borders and everything instead of what they are saying what will probably happen that security levels go up cause there maybe retaliation. Average americans are NOT retardly stupid. You could have used better words than that. Which leads me to believe that you have TROUBLE expressing yourself.

It does provide closure it provides closure on the Symbol of 9/11. When ever has america just killed the head of someone or a country we went to war with and just stopped lol. Sure didnt happen in iraq. Saddam is dead did we leave right after that? No. Please think first next time.

Sources tell CNN it was a human operation, not a drone attack.
