Osama Dead

[gallsman]

This is brilliant news, the scum that was bin laden is fcuked overboard and buried in a manner that is an insult in his so called faith, the man was faithful only to himself and I couldnt be happier.

I take a different stance on most on this, I think it sets his organization back years but I also think they will have new leaders emerge but the fact is they made hay on the fact that they said the yanks would never get him and they did.

Americans, well the vast majority of them believe that the job is not done, they are fearful of another attack and know that somewhere somebody is going to get killed at the hands of these evil b**tards because America got to bin dying.

Well done Barak, you played a blinder son.

And to think Obama was at pains to stress that the US isn't at war with Islam.

Pathetic.

The highlighted bit was Stews words and sentiments not those of Barak.
"Traditional procedures for Islamic burial were followed. Religious rites were carried out on the deck of a US aircraft carrier, the USS Carl Vinson. The body, shrouded in a white sheet and placed in a weighted bag, was then positioned on a flat board, tipped up, and eased into the Arabian Sea."

I know, I'm calling him pathetic for apparently revelling in the fact that he believes Bin Laden's body was not afforded what is expected/demanded/right by Islam.

Who gives a shite about what Islam demands for his burial. What did he care for how the victims of 9/11 were buried ?

[balladmaker]

Asleep in your villa and a few hours later at the bottom of the Arabian Sea.....some change.  Hells full.

I don't know who cares. I don't, you obviously don't but are you actively celebrating the fact that the "correct" methods might not have been observed as some sort of  two fingers to Islam the way Stew appears to be?

That's what I find pathetic.[

Its not about two fingers to Islam. Its about two fingers to a murdering bastard be he christian muslim or Jew.

It would seem that he is directing the two fingers at Bin Laden and those who follow him.

[ziggy90]

The hair is too black.

He acquired quite a few grey hairs in the past 10 years or so.

I suppose they have Grecian 2000 over there as well.

maybe he is from loughglinn

If he is, it's a good job he didn't go into hiding at home, they'd never find him amongst his brethren from Ballagh & Ballyhaunis. The world is a better place today without the murdering sc**bag.

[DoireGael]

It really is tough to believe this..... basically any component of it. I am not a person who believes in consipracys

He was buried in the sea to prevent a shrine.

He's probably been water boarded for the last 4-5 years and now its now at a politically advantageous time to declare he is dead

First time I can think of that a bin has been taken out on a bank holiday!

Millions and millions of dollars spent finding Bin Laden. And where was he? At home!

[HiMucker]

Apparently attention was drwan to the compound as they were burning their rubbish all the time.  If only he hid out down south somewhere he wouldnt have been as easily spotted

It emerges that the information that led to the location of Bin Laden was obtained by waterboarding (i.e. torture). Should this knowledge affect our attitude to the outcome? Does the end justify the means? If so, what are the limits? Who is it acceptable to waterboard and in what circumstances? Who decides?

The general reaction to this event is that the world is a better place without this murdering b**tard who was responsible for the deaths of thousands without any valid mandate. It's hard to argue with that. What, then, would be the basis of any moral objection should a team of Arab "special forces" seek out Tony Blair's hideout and kill him (along with his kid and one of his wives)? With pictures of their leaders watching it on live feed appearing in the next day's papers.

I read earlier that the information wasn't obtained during waterboarding (they did try though) but through normal questioning several months later.

Fair point Hardy, many would say the men of 1916 didnt have a mandate either.
