EPTOsama Bin Laden killed - Page 65
| Forum Index > General Forum |
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. | ||

U.S. stocks rise after it was reported that he was dead. Oil slide more than 1 percent to $112.51 a barrel after CNN reported that Al Queda's elusive leader Osama bin Laden was dead and his body has been recovered by U.S. authorities. Yeah we got some good news. | ||

There's no "clear" leader when the original leader dies. For the presidency, It's different because there is a clear line of succession if Obama dies. For Bin Laden, it's different because there is no clear line of succession. When Bin Laden dies, no one knows who the new leader is. Instead, you'll have multiple "leaders" pop up. This causes several small groups to form, but these groups can be hostile or non-communicative to other groups. What happens is a total decrease in power as no one knows who to follow. Think of it like this. You play starcraft and you give shared control to someone. However, it's difficult for you to communicate with the other leader, so each of you start giving orders to your army. You order your army to one spot, but then he orders them to another without you knowing. That means total mayhem. | ||

Arn't russian media owned by Putin though? The press there don't have the liberty of the press, so it's not worth much as a source I'm afraid. EIther way, it does seem like Usama got drone rushed :| | ||
