Turn on the news.
Just watched the Obama speech on it.
And?
FUCKIN A RIGHT BROTHER
Oh god, i’m not supposed to be like this but it’s hard NOT to you know?
We -got- his ass, in a purely symbolic sense 9/11 has been avenged, debate my ass but fuck, IT’S HISTORY! WOOO
He’s dead.
Wish we got him sooner, but he’s dead and that’s all that matters.
Today is a great day for the USA.
Don’t let Pants hear you say that, she’s on an idiocy spree.
In any case, I’m hoping he was more integral to Al Quieda than he probably was, otherwise its of questionable value. If he was integral, could be awesome.
he was a figurehead and an idol to al-qaeda. the us and all of it’s middle eastern allies will be feeling the retaliation, and they’ll be feeling it hard. prepare for millions of civilian deaths.
mission accomplished
He was the leader of Al Qaeda from what I understand, above Al Zawahiri.
:lol:
he didn’t do anything but serve as a figurehead. al qaeda will go on without him, and they will definitely not let this slide.
hope you dont live in a major city, Medevilae
no jk hope you do.
US firearms play speed metal when they are fired. Makes mass deletion entertaining as hell
He could be like Tito. That would be nice.
As is, there probably will be attempts at counter attacking but they probably won’t succeed. If they had a good plan they would have used it.
Leader of Al Qaeda, leader of the Al Qaeda volley-ball team- makes fuck all of a difference.
Figurehead or not, none of us intelligent, informed, incredibly presumptuous folks have any idea of the sort of operation they had going on to this point. If the US military with all the god damned money we give them could barely catch him after nearly 10 years of rabid searching and the support of a completely bloodthirsty public of hundreds of millions of people, the actual operations of the terrorist network and the subsequent repercussions of this event are as far from our knowledge as is the true nature of the universe.
Practicalities aren’t what’s important here.
This killing symbolizes in a public sense the WTC disaster avenged. It’s going to heal the American Psyche in a profound way that was never certain, and leading up to this point, thought to be unreachable. There was almost an understanding he did in fact get away with it, he didn’t- he’s dead, American or American Allied hands did the killing and it’s going to be a massive thing for us Americans.
So, without regards to the political situation none of us really have any good insight, or indeed baring or influence on, I’m riding the bandwagon and I’m happy as a clam.
Agreed, agreed. It was a CIA op by the way.
it’s not going to heal shit.
and if people think it does, they’re disgusting. americans fucking disgust me.
and yeah ok, i have no clue how the middle east works. silly me. killing osama bin laden solved terrorism! let’s all celebrate! we didn’t piss off any extremely dangerous people! no terrorism forever!
This will also boost Obama’s popularity among the populace, which is bad since I was hoping we’d be able to vote him out next year.
Ok
Look at all those people in front of the white house having a party because of someone’s death. So humane amirite guyz?
“Al kayduh terrorists have threatened to unleash a “nuclear hellstorm” on the West if their leader and the world’s most-wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden, is nabbed. A senior Al Qaida commander has said that the terror group has stashed away a nuclear bomb in Europe which will be detonated if bin Laden is ever caught or assassinated.”
