One man's "buried at sea" is another man's "fed to the sharks".

I sure hope the sharks don't choke.

Here's hoping that "Buried at Sea" means they took what pictures they needed before tossing him out of the door of their Blackhawk on the way back to the ship.

Fantastic NEWS!

There was no honor for Bin Laden in death. He chose to run and hide for years, the Coward. There is no glory for him, only shame.

I appreciate that osama was a scumbag of the highest order and deserved nothing but a painful death, congratulations to your forces. But this will be like a red rag to a bul for fundamentalists around the world, they will regroup and redouble their efforts.

So what's new? muslim terrorists have yet another excuse to murder innocent people?
If we don't kill him, he sits around for years ordering new attacks. If we do kill him, his followers want revenge and order new attacks. If we take him prisoner, other muslim terrorists use that as an excuse to kill innocent people.

It sounds like a no win scenario, but it's not. They know we got him, they also know that his own people gave us the info that led to him. They also know that we will go anywhere, anytime to get them and there is no 'Put your hands up, you're under arrest' mentality when it comes to people like themselves.

If anything, they are scared. They will look at each other now and wonder if anyone can be trusted.

I appreciate what your saying and i think you have misread or misunderstood my post as i wasnt condemning the swoop which resulted in his death. it was spot on
There will be a new offensive against america, no doubt about that, the actions today just help start a new generation of terrorists.

I dont think osama was in command anymore, a ageing man in a bunker with no comms who relied on a paperboy who probably gave him up in the end.
Al-Qaeda is an idea, not a structured organisation so in operational terms I doubt his death will have much of an effect

He was only what, 54? And beyond what anyone may think of the impact on Al Queda, killing Bin Laden is justice served...

the impact this will have on terror attacks will be a negative for us, there will be more attacks now that we've killed him. Will al queda fold, no. will there be more recruits, yes. would this have been the case had we not killed him, more or less. does it feel good that this sum ***** is dead, you bet your ****ing ass it does.

I've had a few non-us citizens ask about why this is such a big deal...and it's a bit like rock and roll...if I have to explain it to you then you won't understand.

I know a couple of green beanies who are disappointed that Navy was chosen and they weren't invited to the party.

I keep telling them that they've been retired too long.

Sorry to cut the quote down so far, but I agree with a lot of this. Obviously it's a damned if you do sitcho,
but they would be smart to shut up and sit down. Putting their stupid heads up now is just gonna get em
a ringside seat to the next burial at sea. One can only hope.

As for Irish' prediction of a new generation of terrorists, I am not so sure. Sure, there is always that chance,
but I think the youth would be wise to get on this new "Let's take our country back" bandwagon that seems to be
spreading through the region like Arab-AIDS. This might be the perfect thing at the perfect time, and I am not so
sure that this is not taking place at a time and place of the administration in Washinton's choosing, within operational
reason.

OLS · 05-02-2011, 09:29 AM

Sorry Ahmed....now we go to work on finding out just why he slept there night after night near a major city
and you still claimed not to know where he was. This is going to make it very difficult for the Pakis to get
things done. I have a feeling we are going to breathing down their necks for some time to come. It's cool, tho,
they love it. If any one has to scramble to save face, it will be the pakis. But at least they have many faces
to choose from. pakistani Think Tank.....Jumbo shrimp......Military Intelligence

Last night I was at a theater watching Fast Five (dont judge me!) and someone texted me the news. I almost stood up and shouted out the news to everyone.

In regard to Team 6 that conducted the raid, I hope the don't show their faces either because that will end their career.

Also, I don't believe that he was totally buried at sea. Even the KGB kept Hilter's skull
