It's kind of wild to think that on 9/11, I was nine years old. The people who carried out this attack to kill Osama probably weren't much older than me when that happened.




um...... yeah your probably right.
its alway great to see the youth of today rise up and say "we aint taken this shiot" and do something about it for the greater good of this world.
it gives me hope.

our point proven. "tread on us and we will hunt you day and night even until you breath your last breath".

I don't think this will change much. There's a fair few men just as "devoted" as he was just waiting to take his place. He was just a scapegoat and I'm pretty sure Al Queda will still be pretty strong despite mabye a slight setback.

To be honest I see this more like kicking the hornets nest than a victory.

sure there are several willing and able to take his place.
thats not the point. oh this is a major setback for them.
he was their strength, their leader. they had faith in him
and now hes gone. sure they will bounce back, but we have
shown them something. sooner or later we will get you.
you can run but you cant hide. i wonder what ole bush jr
is thinking about now?
the part thats not so pretty is look how many lives it cost
just to take his. im willing to bet we could have had him
a long time ago.

oh its a victory, no matter how small, its still a victory.
the war is far from over, but still, its a victory.
we gave our word to the victim's and their families of 911,
and it is done. no it wont change what happened, nor will it soften
the blow of 911 either. but for a moment maybe these people and
their faimlies can feel a small piece of justice for their loss
on that tragic day.
now maybe the healing can begin. just maybe.

So you think we should merely hawk a loogey on OBL's headstone, declare victory, and then it's all jelly donuts and smoothies from here on out?

Right......

When the sun comes up tomorrow the average Joe Sixpack still be paying four bucks a gallon for gas (next month it'll be five), the TSA will still be feeling up grandmas and girl scouts at the airport, the chicoms will still own nearly two trillion dollars' worth of US treasury issues from the Federal Reserve Bank, and the price for everythang will continue to soar thanks to eco-fascists, unrestrained federal bureaucracy, and non-competitive unionized workers.

:evil:

Sure. Definitely a brighter day a-loomin' tomorrow......

:roll:

I rate tonight's announcement as another "SFW" moment......So Fooking What?

Sorry, but I'm a cynic when it comes to such things.

i seriously dont know how you could even come up with that from anything ive said here arjay. seriously, how did you?
sure if you didnt lose anybody that tragic day you might not see this as a small victory, or a small piece of justice like i mentioned above.
we arent talking about a economy victory here arjay, we are talking directly about the victims and their families.
hell no for the economy it isnt over, not by a long shot. it never will be, it never will be as good as it once was. EVER.

A lieutenant colonel I once worked for and admired was killed at the Pentagon on 9/11.

That good enough for you?

and your more worried about the economy still being screwed up
over the bit of justice that was served this evening?
seriously? sorry to hear your lieutenant colonel friend lost his life.
seems to me for a moment you could put aside the state of the economy and
see the justice that was served, the closure that some will get from this. thats my point
in all of this. where you got the idea i thought things were "jelly donuts" i dont know.
you never did say.

So,the s.o.b. is dead...I wouldn't take 1,000,000 dead bin ladens for just 1 of the people we've lost.
Victory,I don't think so...a good score,yeah.
Somehow,this country lost 58,000 in Vietnam and people spit on the ones that came back,and now the propaganda machine wants everyone to cheer our efforts in the ME while the war machine chews up more of our people.
Somedamnwhere you have to ask why...what has been gained with the blood of our service men and women?
You think this is going to be the end?
Yeah,bin laden is dead...good...I ain't going to buying any friggin newspapers though.

This is what someone commented on the situation on the BBC website, and I have to say I kind of agree with them..
Quote:
After 10 years (more really but since 9/11), billions of dollars, thousands of lives both civilian and military America's most wanted is dead. This is certainly an interesting take on the term 'brought to justice'.

I don't want to offend anyone, especially this who lost someone on September 11. If this helps them feel better then good. However Osama Bin Laden was hyped up to be much more than he was by the media. He was more like the Ronald McDonald of Al Queda, just a public face. He was just the money, not a mastermind villians like you would get in a James Bond movie. Al Queda is massive, and killing one, albeit well known, man won't stop them. They still have hundreds, if not.thousands of operatives around the world prepared to kill as many as they can. There will still be a hierarchy that will be in control.

Don't get me wrong, one less terrorist in the world is a good thing, and I'm glad he's dead - I'm just trying to be realistic.
