    Who’s the new al qaeda #1?

    This will go on forever, but like a previous poster said, they couldn’t just not hunt him down.

    Anyway, I expect things to get worse now with a few attacks here ‘n there.

    i am not sure what difference it will make in the grand scheme of things
    Burial at sea without the body being seen [if true] will cause suspicion and seems a rather odd decision as they know what will be inferred from this decision

    Have you seen the scenes outside the white house? They are no better than the flag burners they call the enemy.

    Agreed, but it all helps.

    Have you seen the scenes outside the white house? They are no better than the flag burners they call the enemy.

    Yes, its completly the same! 🙄

    If you had any family or friends who had suffered during the 11th September or 7th July attacks you would understand their pain.

    That is right American foreign policy [ you do know he worked and was trained by the CIA]has never led to the deaths of anyone and certainlty not innocent civilians and has in no way contributed to the strength of negative feeling towards than benign altrustic bringer of peace the world over
    FFS even the Guardian describe Bin Ladden as

    the criminal mastermind behind

    Makes him sound like a Bond Villan

    I did hear him referred to as an evil genius this morning. When will Osama’s Evil Petting Zoo open?

    On this occasion it gets my full approval.

    Next – al-Zawahiri and then Mullah Omar and then any more of the scumbags that can be found.

    US policy has been subject to massive errors of perception on all sorts of levels. This is largely due to their own misunderstanding of the limits of their power and and a cultural ignorance of how other countries and cultures work.

    Bush’s tendency (with encouragement from the idiot Blair) to ignore the advice of UK “Arabists” led to all sorts of short-sighted errors that have compounded the difficulties.

    However, one gets the sense that Obama’s leadership, which seems to have a steadier hand on the tiller so to speak, is beginning to reap rewards.

    As far as the general thrust of US and UK policy is concerned – oppose and fight Islamic terrorism on all possible levels – I’m completely on side.

    Oh, and people can thank whatever version of the Big Pink Unicorn that they like. Makes no difference to my own satisfaction with the outcome.

    To be fair, hatching a plan which involved a handful of blokes armed only with stanley knives, to highjack planes so that they could be flown into buildings, requires the mind of a genius. What if they had bought those stanley knives without the retractable blades ? …..one of the terrorists might have accidentally cut themselves whilst boarding the plane and the whole operation would have been jeopardised. No, definitely the work of an evil genius mind.

    Will we see the same jubilant scenes when Bush and Blair pop their clogs?

    I do hope so.

    Although there is one scumbayg whose death is far more imminent, I’d imagine, and I for one shall definitely be celebrating…

    Seen the picture, he’s been dying his beard/hair

    Well then, I can certainly see why they’re describing him as an “evil genius”. No wonder it took so long to find him with that sort of cunning in play.

    a nice gesture would be to split the $25 million dollar bounty between the unit that did the job.

    Incidentally they could have found him years ago, just track who was buying all the C90 cassettes and VHS blank videos in Pakistan, now that everyones moves onto Blu Ray and MP3

    Every day that disgusting lunatic drew breath was an effrontery to the ideals of democracy and civilisation.

    Sadly until religious fanaticism of all persuasions is removed from this planet, we will continue to see needless death for the sake of a human fantasy that indulges in the belief and worship of supernatural entities.

    this stinks – so many questions

    why oh why would they not parade his head on a spike after pursuing him for 10 years?

    why did it take so long to find someone living in a house in a city?

    how can USA swoop into a foreign country and publicly assassinate someone?

    where is the body? Where are the WMDs?

    2441 members of coalition military forces dead in Afghanistan alone – was it worth it?

    Why did OBL attack the US in the first place?

    I really hope the USA put the same amount of effort into changing their foreign policy and the way they conduct themselves on a global scale as they did into reacting to a terrorist attack.

    er, cos that would be slightly inflamatory, offensive and insensitive? (and sick)

    why did it take so long to find someone living in a house in a city?

    i imagine a lot of the time he wasn’t living there? perhaps in the caves he used? plus i imagine intelligence gathering takes a long time – you’d not want to screw it up, would you?

    how can USA swoop into a foreign country and publicly assassinate someone?

    he died in a firefight, not an assassination – asassinations are internationally illegal for such people. the mision was to capture him, not asassinate – however i imagine (as someone else pointed out), that capturing someone who was probably being guarded by armed men, none of whom are going to be scared of death, isn’t going to be too easy.

    where is the body?

    in the sea. for a range of reasons that have already been covered on here and in the media.

    Why did OBL attack the US in the first place?

    for a whole range of reasons – some delusional, some ‘religious’, probably some to do with economic reasons etc.

    of course, i’m sure the tinfoil hat wearers will find some other answers.
