Confirmed yet? It's only speculation now. Probably true, but still...

I was being 100% facetious with my last post. This won't change anything. He was a symbolic figurehead, some will take his place. Al Qaeda still exists, the problem is still there, and this war is still being waged. Nothing changed but the face of the enemy.

It will change. There will be more problems. He'll be used as a figurehead to launch a retaliation, or to launch an even bigger attack on Al-Qaeda. Translation: More war with more people and more ammunition.

It ain't about one guy "figurehead" or no. Enjoy yer little celebration. It'll likely be short. Nobody seems to be taking into account the US took this action on the sovereign ground of a nuclear armed country.

With their full co-operation, reportedly.

The other "Osama is dead" thread(s) got locked down and another just rises again to take its place... you can kill the "Osama is dead" thread if you like but you can't kill the spirit that created it in the first place... another "Osama is dead" thread is just waiting in the wings...

I think there's unintentional satire here

Like they were in a position to say no? Who is this "they" anyhow? The same "they" that allowed osama to be there in the first place? Doesn't seem as black and white as the media is making it out to be.

+1

Again, as with other threads, I wish politics doesn't ruin this one. Yet, again, Osama was a political figure in at least some capacity, so any discussion about him on TB is probably 'illegal'.

I've been hearing mixed reports about this. Pakistani officials are stating they knew about this, but the U.S. is denying they knew anything about it. But since Pakistan is claiming they knew, I'd say they just lost any chance at repercussions if they really didn't know.

That all being said, I'd still be okay with going in and getting him even if Pakistan denied us entry. I am a believer of if you harbor my enemy, then you are my enemy. In this case, since he was found pretty much in the heart of Pakistan, I'd be willing to be they knew.

To quote Samuel Jackson in Rules of Engagement. "Do you think you can fight a war without pissing anybody off?"

That's what I'm saying. Though I hope it doesn't have to come to that, If they still want a fight, (and I'm almost positive they'll retaliate) then let them bring it. They're not the only ones that have weapons and know how to make things that go boom.

Oh, has the United States declared war on Pakistan? I missed that part.
