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.




i still havent seen where anybody ever said that this whole mess was over.
i did see where it was said that there will be someone to take his place though.

just a face very much like our own president. i think our own goverment knows a lot more about the 911 tragity than they lay claim. some times i think they knew about it before it happened. one cant be sure though. (i did say sometimes)

Well gang, this one has me flummoxed.

No1 I'm glad that evil person is gone.
No2 I'm not so happy about the cries of 'we've had vengeance'. Would those lost really judge this as a worthy price for their undeserved murder.
No3 OBL was a very ill, old man, reportedly on dialysis these past ten years. There's the proof that he's been housed and sheltered. The fact that he was only thirty miles from Islamabad tells me the Pakistan forces have had far more to play in the Al qaeda's activities than we've been told about. Rightly or wrongly. I understand our governments have to walk a fine line to not stir up racial hatred by those inclined towards such things. I can't help wondering whats coming next. Wrongly, part of me wants to see a scorched earth policy take place on that part of the world, simply through my own fear of reprisals. Gladly the rest of my senses keep that part in check.

No4 (the biggie for the conspiracy theorists)
Not only is today the anniversary of Hitlers suicide. But Friday was the anniversary of his wedding to Eva Braun. Is it really down to chance that we had a royal wedding that day and a execution this day???

Soften all the internal rancor and vitriol herein with the acceptance of the hard facts that across the panorama of history the interests of peoples, nations, and states have been gained not only in the spilling of blood but with the supression, oppression, subjection, and yes, even the extermination of millions. The right and wrong of it depends upon whose ox was gored. Suffice it to say that, no matter how rightly objectionable it might be, the game continues to be played, only the players and the scorecards are different. There is no benefit to the writing of pages upon pages citing examples of this, that or the other, or arguing whether or not justice was or was not served. He is now belongs to the ages, another piece of that puzzle which will only be solved when humankind finally decides to beat their swords into plowshares and practice war no more.

The name of the game has always been:'keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer'. Sometimes it costs. In that regard it occurred to me to wonder who was going to get the $5million bounty on BinLaden's head which was to be paid for information leading to his kill or capture. At lot more is yet to unfold in this.
Much of which will be revealed to my grandchildren's generation.

This "Victory" of killing bin laden, who I think we knew his whereabouts all along, will just serve to stir up the repressive tactics of "The War On Terror" in this country once again. Sure, He had it coming, Glad they got him. But I don't see this as any victory because they are already talking about the American Muslim guy who operates on the internet, I can't remember his name, give it a few weeks of being constantly played on the news and I'll have it down. Well since this new guy is even more insideous And an American born Muslim Terrorist, Get ready for "Police State in living color" Because you all thought it was bad when the terrorists were in Pakistan, well with this new guy, They are right here, maybe living next door to you... The new govt. excuse for taking away what freedoms we have left. :!:

Had to quote that because it's so beautiful it's worth reading twice.


A prime example of history being written by the victors, for the rest of it. I often wonder how much of what we know of the past is truth or a press release.

I for one am Damn Happy about this peice of crap getting his ticket punched!

I have lost a few fellow military friends since 9-11 and believe me everyone of them and including myself would have gladly sacrificed it all to get Osama.

As for the rest of you "Negative Nancy's" out there...take a break from all the nay saying and just enjoy the moment, you can go back to complaining about things tomorrow. Try to enjoy and take a chill pill :!:
