So Bin Laden is Dead, what now?

[Cheery Lunatic]

Yeah, just found out. I'm talking to my friends and family about it.

Everyone's really surprised (and excited).

Plus it's my sister's birthday. Happy Birthday sis, Osama kicked the bucket on the same day you were born. Woohoo.

My friend suggested we parade his body around NYC and let victims' families spit on him. I second the motion.

Reports are saying he's been dead for a week, they just confirmed it today is all.... you have to get your sister another present : P

Poopoo. Close enough.

Ironically she doesn't even give a shit in the first place so meh.

 

[InnerRebellion]

I'm glad, but holy shit, there are so many people on Facebook (which I need to delete) who are going, "Who is Osama?" or "Who gives a shit? He didn't do anything."

And one girl thought Osama is our president...

Now nothing changes. >.> Are you surprised?

The announcement is Obama's 1337-th Tweet

I see 1336 from your link.... but I don't see one addressing this.... OMG that is just a random thing that has no merit... r, uhm, I mean, it's just a tad crazy!?

OK I can't tell if you're serious or not... 1337 , like 'Leet' in gamerspeak! Just thought it was funny

In other news, Bin Laden was camping in the middle cave on Afghan with Cold Blooded Pro and UAV Jammer, and had put his location on his PSN account.

Oh no, I know exactly what you mean, my mind is a bit blow because of that link you gave. It says 1336 and the last tweet wasn't about Osama, so I would guess his next one will be about Osama, and it would be 1337. That's just.... I ... I can't even describe it.

It's awesome And I can confirm that it is the 1337th post, Twitter must be late updating on your computer!

One wonders if it'll actually make a clod of difference. Yes, he is (was?) their leader; Do you think that his dying will really stop terrorism? Do you think conflict in the Middle East is just going to vanish overnight?

No, not really. This is a boost to morale and perhaps a minor disruption of their operations - I have no doubt that they have a line-up of second-in-commands who are just waiting to take his place. Then... what? We spend another decade trying to destroy his replacement?

You're right. We should just not try and ignore every terrorist attack.

You people confuse the hell out of me.

Nice straw man argument, as they clearly suggested that. Terrorism can't be fought like a normal war, but that doesn't mean you do nothing. Starting wars against full countries when its only select individuals from multiple different places (which were places like Saudi Arabia and the UAE mostly, not Afghanistan or Iraq).

And searching for their leader clearly isn't the greatest use of resources as it took almost 10 years and is would be foolish to think this will end everything. Counter-terrorism has to be done a lot differently than when dealing with criminals within communities, or wars between countries.

Just saw it on CNN. Apparently in moments Obama will confirm that Obama is dead, and that we have his body.

Quoting this before it gets edited out.

 

[The Bandit]

Don't have a TV and not familiar with much US news.
Someone give me the skinny on this? Did they find a body, or was this a claim from his country?

If you already got the answer you were looking for just ignore this.

US ground troops in Pakistan and a Drone in the sky killed Bin Laden just over the border in Pakistan. DNA and Dental Records confirm it was him.

CNN said it was a human operation, not a drone.

Read the entirety of it GROUND TROOPS AND A DRONE. Drone was used for spotting.

I really like how you ALL CAP like I'm a retard even though your original statement contradicts your second statement.

I didn't read an article, I was watching CNN, and the lady specifically said it was a human operation. I was relaying what I heard into a thread that seemed to be about reporting developments. Don't get pissy, especially when you say things that even you acknowledge are incorrect.

 

[ZombieGenesis]

Hell yes he is! Been watching Fox with my mom for.a hour now. Literally 5 minutes before we got the news Geraldo said "what if its Bin Laden?" We doubted it. But its true!

You're watching FOX news? Do they have Osamas name misspelled on the bottom of the screen, or is this just a Chicago feed I'm seeing with the idiotic typo for the last 30 minutes?

And I hate to come across as the prick here but...
His name *IS* Usama.

Saw it on QI, Osama is a popular misnomer.

Uhm, you're using sarcasm or something, right?

... no. Dude, his actually name is Usama. Pronounced, Oo-Sama.

 

[Nemesis729]

What now? More war

 

[DustyDrB]

Observation: Obama's left dimple goes up an inch or two higher than his right dimple.

I don't think dimple is the right word. Whatever you call that thing.

 

[binvjoh]

Can we all just focus on going to Mars now?

lol nope we got a USAMA Bin Laden dead here in Vermont
Fox news can never get it right

Actually...that is right.

Well, I learned something today... stupid fox news making me look stupid. Only other place I could really find it was FBI most wanted. Good enough source for me.

Then please explain the proper way to carry out this war, General.

As if he ever mattered.

This. After the 9/11 attacks he was a symbol to the enemies of the United States. He effectively retired at that point, as any communications more hi tech than carrier pigeons would've given us his location. This really doesn't change anything other than boosting US morale and demoralizing fanatical islam.

 

[King Toasty]

I'm not shedding any tears at his death, but it's still the death of a human being. I will never say it's justice to kill someone for killing another.

Captcha: resaff operated. Dammit Resaff, he betrayed us!

 

[SwimmingRock]

Meh. It won't change anything. Nothing at all.

That's not true. They're going to have to come up with another reason to invade countries now. Maybe tell us about some new leaked reports of countries with different ideologies having "nukular" weapons. I can't wait to see what the next excuse for large-scale murder is going to be.

Well... Amurica just single handedly killed terrorism. That's what's up.

That's a joke, right? Aside from the fact that terrorism doesn't just happen A) in America B) by Osama bin Laden and his cronies, it would still be ridiculously optimistic to assume that killing one man will stop thousands of crazy people with rage issues from engaging in violence against people they consider unworthy of living.

 

[Impluse_101]

I bet he had his location on his PSN account.

.....*Ahem*.....
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHaHAHAHAH....AHAHAHAHAHhaHA.....ahahhaha...ha...ahahhaaha....


I'm sorry that was a beautiful post. This all the way.
