Osama bin Laden Killed

[DAIRD]

Juan you idiot, he declared war and declared himself a combatant.

Enter the rules of war.

This is not up for discussion with me and a good part of it is up close and personal.

Friend of terror. Enemy of mine. Got it?

We don't kill UN workers because some idiot burns a book, they do.

We don't kill because someone burns a flag, they do.

It is a slippery slope and scum like you create partisans. "PROCEED WITH CAUTION", my God I been threatened by Juan.

Juan sounds like FALN, the #1 terror group before Bin Laden? How many airport counters you blow up Juan? You luckee Cleenton pardon you? 120 bombs was it?

And we don't kill in the name of any religion or god.

What about the evidence?
What about Innocent till proven guilty?
What about due process?
What about a jury of his peers?
What about a trial? and a judge?
What about disclosure?
What about the rule of law?

What the US did was murder,they have lowered themselves to the level of Al Quida, at a time when they should be rising above it

Yes the people killed on 9/11 didn't have their justice, they were murdered by people who also did not respect the rule of law.........as Osama was

ITS A SLIPPERY, SLOPE PROCEED WITH CAUTION

There has to be one I suppose. One kissy-kissy, huggy-huggy, tree loving dickhead spouting bullshit.

Well, now that it is clear the Osama was even unarmed, one can really question why he was shot in the head 2 times.

To take him alive would never have been in the plan. A live prisoner would create a figurehead, a living martyr. Imagine the threats, kidnappings etc. that would ensue in a vain attempt to secure his release. OK, the world at large is still in danger of reprisals but there is no body, living or dead that can be used in exchange threats. The burial at sea was entirely appropriate in that it gave no opportunity for a body or parts of it to he held up in Islamic martyrdom.

There are those that say he should have been taken prisoner. I disagree, much the same as Margaret Thatcher when she was Prime Minister during the Iranian Embassy siege disagreed when she made it clear that she didn't want any "expensive prisoners" to be taken during the SAS assault on the Princes Gate embassy.

....and much as I hate to say it !! I have to agree with ATFS Crash for once (apart from the fascist liberal bit that is )

considering what his henchmen do around the world, who knows what he could have on his body? I would rather see the headline 'mass murderer shot twice' than 'mass murderer detonates suicide belt killing himself and x number of navy seals'.
They should have riddled his body just to make sure.

Bin Laden and his gang killed a lot of unarmed and innocent humans.

I do not say it was wrong or right, but if we are serious about defending western values in the war on terror, than we must accept people questioning what happened.

The killing of Osama was carried out by a GOVERMENT, the murders committed by Al Quida were carried out by a group of deragend lunatics.
There is a big difference. Governments and the so called "civilized" west should practice what they preach.... the rule of law, and the stability that comes with it. Otherwise we are no better than the lunatic fringes

Do any of you remember Nuremberg??? the crimes committed by those defendants were a thousand fold that Osama did, yet the rule of law prevailed!

BREAKING NEWS.....

The Irish SAS joined in with the US mission early today when they stormed Debenhams after gaining intelligence that Summer Bed Linen was on the third floor.

Brian is not funny.

OK it was pretty funny.

Why 2 times? That is all it takes with a 5.56 with a 77 grain bullet.

It's part of an austerity program. Standard issue is a 62 grain slug.

So, lets say OBL was captured alive, would you be ok he was tortured for information?

Absolute class!

No, not that word. Torture, no not that rubbish again. But I think it would be okay pulling out each single hair he got.... starting with the hair in his nose...

[guamainiac]

Hey Juan do you have a copy of the surrender document for Al Queda?

I mean I lost mine or something? Perhaps a link.

Now, that said, I found the terms and conditions of the Axis surrender but dang, what's with me?

Oh, they did not surrender yet

Glad we had this chat. So what's the old FALN been up to?
