Osama is dead


Are we no better than them?
We have lost our moral compass and regressed to the same animal behavior that we accuse the ME of.
We should be bigger than that, and that is my disappointment.
No doubt that if his body was given to the people, they would hang it from a bridge, just like the animals in Somalia did to our soldiers. :(

Mixed Emotion here!

Great!!! We "got" the symbol of Fundamentalist Islamic movement. However we've killed a symbol, what remains open is what happens next? OBL has had nearly ten years to build infrastructure and train God knows how many potential leaders have been developed during that time?

If this event fragments his organizations & they end up fighting each other from time to time then we've scored a huge victory and the CIA can do the voodoo they do so well to further turn themselves on each other. I question if OBL was the glue that held Al-Queda together. I think once he figured out he was the focal point of our anger and efforts, my suspicion is that he began to plan for the fact that his life was not going to come to a natural end. IMO Osama Bin Laden developed the management infrastructure that will make his death go unnoticed by the organization.

The second piece is the why folks like OBL come to organize an insurgency or terrorist empire? At best our Imperialist/Interventionist tendencies make the US an unindicted co-conspirator.

President Obama's decision to order military attacks on Libya is only surprising to those who actually think he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. He has now ordered bombing strikes in six different countries, adding Libya to Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen.

While the justifications vary in each case, the disturbing common thread is that these are all predominantly Muslim countries. And the goodwill expressed by Arab people about Obama in opinion polls early in his administration has completely vanished: in the most recent Zogby survey, 85% expressed an unfavorable opinion toward the United States, eclipsing the 83% negative opinion in the final year of the Bush administration.

Granted,r Gadaffi is no friend of liberty, but the military involvement of the United States in the rebellion against him threatens to undermine the credibility of the resistance to his rule and turn him into a hero. As news of both actual and rumored killings of innocent civilians by American bombs spreads throughout the Arab world, the hatred which spawned the 9/11 murderers will continue to grow. Finally, what if Gadaffi still manages to defeat the rebels? Faced with the choice of losing face or upping the ante with an escalation of military involvement, this could turn into yet another disastrous campaign. And as Steve Chapman put it in an article in Reason magazine, 'Most of the people endorsing an attack know less about Libya than they do about playing the oboe.' When will we ever learn?

I & other Libertarians advocate the foreign policy eloquently described by Thomas Jefferson at his inauguration: 'Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.' Just as the Founding Fathers expressed admiration for the 'Swiss Model' of armed neutrality that has managed to keep Switzerland out of the vicious wars of Europe for hundreds of years, we should embrace the idea that the purpose of an American military is the defense of American soil, period. As Senator Barack Obama said in criticizing the Bush administration, 'The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.

The Constitution of the United States requires an explicit Declaration of War in order for this country to engage in hostilities with foreign nations. Obama, after dithering for two weeks, has joined the list of presidents who chose to launch wars on their personal say-so in direct contravention of the Constitution.

I don't know how many times we have to endure administrations, both Republican and Democratic, who shoot first and ask questions later. Probably for as long as we continue to elect Republicans and Democrats to office."

Don't believe me? Take a copy of his Obituary to the gas station and ask for a discount and let me know how that works out for ya. Bin Laden was the symtom not the disease. Bin Laden was NOT the problem. Never was.Once again we bow in awe of yet another "Shiny Metal Object" If we continue our imperial/interventionist ways we will soon create another "Boogeyman". Same Shite Different Day

Either way the US Military did as asked just like they always do OORah
 
Not so fast, he's probably been dead for years.

This sounds like a propaganda stunt to gain support for the war in Libya.

He is probably looking around paradise for his 72 virgins. He's in good company with Achmed.

Good riddance, fish bait.....

I have a funny feeling "paradise" is not going to be what he expected. I just saw the report about him using a woman as a human shield. She died as well.

Some brave martyr he turned out to be. <_<

Really bad idea.
Even in Jail he would have the power to destroy and terrorize. Then how much tax money would that cost to have a trial?
Better shoot him dead and feed him to the fish.

In my perverse mind I thought he should be buried where people could go and pay there respects in complete silence in order to pray and reflect on his life and subsequent demise. Someplace like McMurdo Station in Antarctica comes to mind.

True, par for the course. Killing more than 3000 people who were just trying to go to work in NYC or simlply trying to get from point A to B on an airplane.

They fight in the shadows or behind a burka. :ph34r:
