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. |

On 9/11 Osama's family was flown out of the United States after all flights were grounded.. So I wont believe it until their is a NON-Goverment affiliated autopsy, but I'm 99.9% sure that won't happen. Also no reason to rejoice for the lives lost on 9/11, Osama wasn't even involved. Regardless if he really is dead then that just one less tyrant involved with the Bush family.
also to those brave men that went into that compound where he was allegedly raided are hero's for those who have lost their lives in the hunt for Osama and other Taliban leaders.
I just despise people who believe in unfounded conspiracy theories. How about you set the same high standards of proof to what loose change, the truth movement and michael moore claims that you do towards the government? Double standard much?
Anyways, America - Fuck Yeah has been seen like at least half a million times today, thats hilarious. I`m actually really happy about this.

Not to take away from a fantastic team but I think Mossad teams rival (and probably exceed) any U.S. special forces in sheer ability. Its not exactly accurate comparing the Mossad to military special forces. As you probably know the mossad is equivilant to the CIA. Not to say I know alot about military related things but... I would presume the absolute best teams are one's you don't really hear about if at all, no? Mmmm not necessarily. Nice to let people you hate know that you have guys that can seriously fuck them up.
All too true, good point!

Though the Israeli Special Forces, in that case, probably still rival U.S.
They do, I don't think they're quite at the level of Delta Force or the Navy Seals, but they're definitely up there. Spetsnaz, SAS, and others are also there as well.

Osama's compound is already on Google maps.
Apparently the mansion he was hiding in was located near a hospital, a university, and a police station. Also it seems there was a playground right across the street.

And how tragic it is to know the kittens will never grow and change... they will live in perpetual immaturity, never experiencing the finer joys of life and self-awareness. They have been robbed of a full existence...

Chaos ensues as the entire brigade at the US naval academy storms outside for an impromptu celebration. The houses of the superintendent and commandant were stormed and they were both roused for impromptu speeches.
Great day to be in the military :D

Now how did you invent these perfect kittens? I presume through extensive and painful testing that resulted in the death of thousands of other kittens right? and why are they in a box not being taken care of? clearly they mutated beyond expectations and destroyed the lab that they were created in and everyone in it. (Think Mewtwo from the original pokemon series  )

I'm not sure of that but I do know Delta Force operators identities are rarely known.

He actually never did. Not saying he didn't do it of course, but he never directly claimed responsibility.

Too bad he was killed and not brought to trail.
Also, it's not like this fixes anything. Sure, one top figure was killed, but Al-Qaeda is still around and Afghanistan will continue being a mess.
Right, and too bad the sun shines because that means it will be dark again sometime? -.-

For sure, Israeli and US units tend to train with eachother from time to time.

I thought the British SAS were the best special forces team in the world? Not really so much bias there its just I heard that before. Navy seals are pretty baller though, and I'm sure Mossad is more then just the Israely CIA?

Yes he did, at first they didn't but they came out with a video and said they were directly involved.
