I'm splitting this off of the News thread to keep it from being too derailed.

As many know, and the rest will find out soon, it was announced that Osama died, killed in battle fighting US troops.

As a general warning for the thread, please keep the discussion civil. Any attempts to stir up trouble will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. Follow the forum rules, and don't let your emotions earn you a ban.

Thank you.

Here's to hoping there's no one charismatic or competent to take his place.

Yeah, don't forget the middle east still exists, who knows what the response will be everywhere there. But 2011 is the year to mark the fall of tyranny.

solomon · 2011-05-01, 23:39

Yea, It will be interesting to see how our military undertakes the missions against the organization now. Not to mention the larger Middle East strategy which thanks to the Arab Awakening and supposed Hamas-Fatah union is now all out the window.

Asuras · 2011-05-01, 23:39

Hopefully. The battle in Libya isn't over.

Demongod86 · 2011-05-01, 23:39

Awesome. Absolutely wonderful. Great job to our men and women in uniform! I hope the guy credited with the kill gets a medal of honor.

I would hope the Middle East still exists! It'd be a Hitchhiker's-scale phenomenon if it happened to disappear off the Earth.

Anywho and on a more serious note, I meeting this news rather neutrally. On the one hand, dead scum. On the other hand, this'll stoke the fires of nationalism and help justify the jingoism the US higher-ups call the War on Terror and generally making things worse for everyone involved.

More importantly, I am extremely curious of what is going to happen with the war in Afghanistan and Libya.

I also wonder what sort of political ramifications his death will create. As we all know this president has many political enemies that have done everything possible to diminish his image. What will Mr Donald Trump try to do to recapture the eyes of the media for example? Will this accomplishment appease the birthers?

Oh man so many questions!

SaintessHeart · 2011-05-01, 23:47

I am more inclined to think that this is a US Psyops to stop the oil prices from hitting $200/bbl.

Donald Trump will ask for the death certificate.

Well done US Armed forces.

Mr. DJ · 2011-05-01, 23:54

good job by our Navy Seals and Spec Ops...also a man carrying a shield

I wonder how much reward on his head? Those special forces will get a huge awesome decoration.

It's also fake. Unless he's been using Just For Men. The dude has grey hairs.

PzIVf3 · 2011-05-02, 00:03

Now what are they gonna do to the corpse? Are they gonna display like a trophy?

Asuras · 2011-05-02, 00:05

Um. Stupid question?
We're not brutes. It'll likely be buried.

Ithekro · 2011-05-02, 00:06

Produce it as proof for those that ask, then probably give him a funeral...though I suppose we would send him back to his family in Saudi Arabia...if they still want him.

A trophy doesn't sound like a good idea. Makes it seem like he won if he will never be forgotten (like if they stuffed him into the Freedom Building in New York as evidance of America rebuilding or something along those lines).

He isn't classed as a world leader, so I hope this doesn't get China and Russia even more paranoid about the Americans going into countries to exterminate what we consider a problem.

How is anyone suppose to believe he is dead if they don't have the body? Once all sceptics are convinced, they could cremate the body and scatter the ashes into the ocean. The body might be returned to family members, but it depends on if there is people still willing to:
1. have anything to do with him
and
2. isn't wanted by the US military.

I would have preferred if he was caught alive. But I guess he isn't the type to surrender.
