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. |

It's believed that Zawahiri has been the operational commander of AQ for a while now, with Bin Laden being the symbolic figurehead. Whether that is true or not I doubt any of us will know but, regardless, this is a big day for America. This is what we set out to do 10 years ago and we finally managed to catch up to him.
But Bin Laden is the a very crucial figurehead, as he went through the era of the USSR invasion.

Faux news as usual.....

I really didn't think he would ever be caught after 9 years. This is simply too shocking for words.

hahahaha :D
I don't really know what to say and I'm not sure if anything is gonna change because of this, but I guess he got what he deserve and it (hopefully) won't do any harm to have Osama dead.

Note: I don't mean to say that killing Bin Laden was bad, it is obviously justified for him to order and organise so many killings. I just want to say that I don't see a reason for beeing that happy about it, revenge alone won't ever help anyone. It's a step forward. It's progress, It's killing the enemy morale, It's raising the US morale. It's Justice served. It doesn't matter how many replacement Osama has, As long as they rise to oppose the world, If they keep coming, we'll never stop killing. US Fighting!

What's sad is that 99% of americans won't realize that they've made Osama into a martyr now... he's kind of like Obi One Kenobi... "Strike me down and I'll become stronger than you could ever imagine." Had he been captured alive, that would've been justice. Now he's been brutalized by "the west" and whether people like it or not, alot of people will not take kindly to that.

I can't even describe it for them, but I feel like if I had to pick one word, it would be closure.
+ For many people, he represented the worst day of their lives. He was the cause of friends' and families' deaths. It must feel like a weight being lifted off the country.

He is a civilian like me and you, and he has a point. Look how many wars United States started, and how many lives they killed. I'm just saying. I respect that, but name 3 wars that WE started thats had tons of collateral damage to civilians. Iraq? Iraq had no ties to 9/11, at all. This was kind of confirmed a long, long time ago. What was it, close to a million deaths so far on their side, or is that Iraq/Afghanistan combined? You could argue Vietnam considering we had no place to be there etc. Those are the 2 wars i think we should have never gotten into. But you cannot change the past. Iraq was a stupid war You ask for examples,you receive them,but you disregard them. "Oh those wars don't count,they were stupid LOLOLOL."...Oh you. I never disregarded them, you obviously misread my post. HERP DERP

Apparently Bin Laden was shot in the head.
This means there is either a crackshot on the special forces team (HEADSHOT!) or they executed him after the fact.
Either way it's awesome.

For me it is symbolic, for 22 years i served and watched good man die in pursuit of this murderer, and to have him sent to join them yes , justice has been served.

i think it just gives the Insurgents a martyr but if he was still involved in planning and directing operations than its probably still better he is gone.
