This whole operation sickens me. It now emerges Bin Laden was unarmed when they murdered him and the poor woman he was with. The USA doesnât care who dies so long as itâs politically expedient and a few people get performance bonuses. I hope the perpetrators of this state sponsored murder get whatâs coming to them in this life or the next.

Are you only a student of war when itcsuits your viewpoint SS
I believe the woman was only shot in the leg and was fine. They said Osama resisted. Iâd resist if I was going to be shot too.
Supposing the Irish Government decided it wanted to extract revenge for the Dublin/Monaghan bombings and found out that the man who organised it was living in on the west coast of England. One night they load up a helicopter full of the Irish Rangers, fly across the Irish sea, land on your mans front garden and shoot the shit out him, before dumping his body into the Irish sea on the way home.
Would that be ok?
Weâd probably have to borrow the helicopter from the RAF Runt
Bin Laden was responsible for the murder of plenty who were unarmed and actually innocent unlike he was. Would have been better to trial him like Sadam I agree but the end result is the same anyway. Its a good day for humanity that he is gone.
Im not really getting the conspiracy theories, would surely have suited Bush if Bin Laden had died in his time to have publicised it to the max. With the secular risings occuring presently in the Arab world Im not sure his death will have the effect it once would. Im sure he was given up by those close to him so suspect his influence in Al Qaeda is not what is was either. With the age of wikileaks etc, the chance of a blatant conspiracy as is being suggested here is less too. A good week for the Allies with a lot of attention being taken off their desperate economies. Obama will hose up the next election.
The joy of the yanks is understandable
Depends, in this scenario are we the most powerful Superpower in the world? One that everyone else is terrifed of pissing off?
Theyâd be sound that way.
Iâve noticed a few commentators saying that the fact they got Bin Laden in the end is a justification for the continued use of water-boarding and other torture methods in their interrogation of suspected terrorists. Apparently most of the information that led them to Bin Laden was extracted using those methods. The water-boarding sounds like a particularly horrible experience.
Ireland isnt at war with the UK.
The IRA should have done back in the day instead of murdering civilians indiscriminately in a sectarian manner.
Was he? Funny, i must have missed all that. I donât remember him being charged with anythingâŚ
i believe we have the one, although itâs missing a door.
Could you make your accusations less opaque, Iâm having trouble understanding what you mean.
Are the US at war with Pakistan?
Cal Thomas described it this evening as a âborderless warâ ffs
Iâd be careful with this sort of chatter Runt, youâre only just back from the States, they have everything they need to track you down.
Not on the mobille SS.
Hitler was innocent too as he was never charged I guess :rolleyes:
The US are at war with Al Qaeda, it is beyond doubt that Bin Laden was one of the main collaborators behind 9/11 where how many thousand yanks were killed. Would have been better to trial him Id argue than this dumping at sea lark but the end result is the same anyway.
He was quick enough to clam credit for 9/11
So because a country decides it is at war with an organisation it is entitled to ignore international borders?
Noel Hunt tried to claim the equaliser in Bari 2 years ago.
:lol:
As a man who once chanted his support for Bin Laden in an airport you must have been devastated at the news of his death?
