Osama bin Laden: Dead

[Tigger]

Fuck the Islamic tradition. They should have chucked it in a skip/dumpster.

I read.

If you don't know maybe you should pay attention to things outside of hedonistic pursuits of art-galleries and wine parties? In the real world there's a fiscal collapse brewing like never seen before....in all human history. Bin Laden does not matter - yesterday he had a minor part to play in the smashing of a few windows....now all the windows are being smashed from the inside.

Nice job Obama!

I am curious about something, though. In Obama's speech, he said he gave the order "today" (5/1) to carry out the mission which killed bin Laden. However, the reports say he was nailed a week ago or so and then they took time to do a DNA test. Anyone know which is supposed to be the correct version?

The burial at sea thing I think is a mistake, at least until they brought in some leading Islamic folks to view the corpse. Islamic law only requires a burial within 24 hours "if possible," and it also says to wrap him in certain cloths and bury him facing Mecca "if possible." Where there are extenuating circumstances, it doesn't have to be done. Here, there are extenuating circumstances, and frankly the burial rites should take a back seat to proving to the world that he's gone. But, what's done is done. Good riddance, and kudos to the Obama Administration for finally getting him.

I've not seen anywhere that the op was last week. Got any links?

Those were the early news reports I heard on MSNBC and CNN. Maybe they were just errant early news reports.

They should build him a Mausoleum. On Ground Zero.

The Bushes are going to be upset, since the bin Ladens are their friends. Remember when President Bush the Younger came out with that bizarre line that he "wasn't worried about" Osama bin Laden? WTF?

[tattuchu]

the question remains

how was he able to live hidden so long when he was dependent on kidney dialysis?

[Mysturji]

Osama Bin Dyin' (Nobody's done that yet, right?)

Chopped it up and fed it to pigs.
Then spread the pigshit around a vinyard to help make delicious wine!

Already planned, they intend to write his name on the large collector tube for the toilets of the new buildings

I hear they're going to dedicate the next Piggly-Wiggly supermarket to him.

The mastermind of the 9/11 attacks warned that al-Qaeda has hidden a nuclear bomb in Europe which will unleash a "nuclear hellstorm" if Osama bin Laden is captured, leaked files revealed.

Sinister story to be appearing around now. If they could do that they would have done it long ago. Given how suspicious this entire caper is should something in Europe happen next week or the week after? Um? and the markets respond by moving away from the euro to help the dollar from under the table.....I'd say it was possibly a US device.

It seems a very, very small window in time for the rest of the world to verify if this Bin Laden, obviously DNA evidence is a factor in the time to come but with no body is that sufficent? Could they have verified with international standards of genetic testing that it was him in in so short a time? We need some expertise here?
