Bin Laden is dead

I completely disagree. This was the face of 9-11. This was the face of the African embassy bombings. This was the face of the USS Cole. This was the guy who posted videos/audio threatening American and western interests and the guy who eluded capture for more than 13 years. He was the symbol of the fear that has hung over America for the past 10 years and the guy who gave the sword rattlers all the alibi they needed to start wars. Personally, I don't have even the slightest problem with the celebrations outside the White House or in Times Square or especially at Ground Zero. Did his death win the war? No, but does his death take away the most infamous boogey man the world has seen since probably Hitler? Damn straight. Celebrate, dance, do what you wanna do. Or don't. I'm just not going to criticize those who felt that celebrating this ******** death felt like the right thing to do.

Well, that's like, your opinion, man.

And that's what I like. Even though we disagree, we can still hold hands and play poker together.
 
Also, speaking on the "conspiracy" thing that I'm sure we'll get waves of over the coming days, weeks, months and so on (which I'm not accusing anyone here of), there's absolutely some questions regarding how they went about discarding the body and lack of evidence at this point, but you have to look at the risk factor of making a move like that. Say this is a hoax, can you imagine the humiliation, integrity hit, and devastation that this would cause to not only our government, but our country? A hoax of that magnitude would be the riskiest thing this country has done since we BECAME a nation. The consequences of making something like this would be more damaging to the United States than any single act of terrorism could do. If I'm Osama in this scenario, the single most effective attack against our country right now would be is simple as releasing a video saying "I'm alive". At that point he can just sit back, turn on the tube, and watch the country crumble from within.

I just don't see how, in any way, shape or form, that this could be fake. The risk factor is far too consequential and the rebuttal would affect not only America, but the world in ways that we can't even imagine.
 
Outside the few bipartisan ******** I've heard on both sides, I'm celebrating the unity this is bringing Americans. It's not often we unanimously agree on one thing, and today that is killing Osama was good. I'd rather focus on that. This nation could use a little harmony.

It's a solemn day for me, but if I had close relations to anyone from 9/11 or a war death then I'd be hooting and hollering patriotic stuff too. Good for them.

I can easily see them taking him alive and putting him into a secure location for the next few years while they ravage his mind for secrets, names, locations, etc. Telling the world that they dumped the body at sea is a simple way to get people to stop talking about it and move on. Seriously, can you imagine the wealth of knowledge inside his brain that could help put an end to terrorism as we know it? He would make The Intersect seem like chicken feed.
 
I think this is important because it marks the immediate denouement of 9/11. This is closure, although the war on terror is not over. Justice for 9/11 has essentially been established-- the ****ers behind it are in the ground, and any enemy that emerges from now on is a part of a related but not exact cause.

We're not celebrating the death of Osama, we're celebrating that we've taken another step towards world peace.

Oh yeah, I could see something like this happening (however likely/unlikely it may be). I'm sure millions of people would be angered by this, but ultimately it would result in good with the information and intelligence we extract. I'm saying that if our government is saying that he's dead in hopes that they find him before the truth comes out then **** is going down. To tell such a bold-faced lie in regards to the single most coveted man since Hitler would be monumentally demoralizing for our country. Aliens and gas prices are one thing, but this is the head of the single most sensitive topic of the decade and the biggest act of terror since Hitler's reign of tyranny. Along with that, considering how easy it we be for Osama to come out and disprove this (if this were fake), it would be far too serious of a risk to take for any government, let alone ours. That's why I just don't see this being a hoax.
