dont matter really

cos neither were his victims

I was correcting myself really.

mmmmmmm..into S&M now are we

Stonks, if you're going to talk Iraq, what about the sanctions thhr US imposed on them. The iraqis were crying out for aid and no one gave a crap and no one called for fthe sanctions to be lifted.  None of this is about human rights.  Bin Laden was a good friend of the US till they moved into Saudi and he didn't like it.  Bin Laden was a wealthy man, he didst have to get involved, so I don't think its right to start labelling him a coward, particularly when Obama, the person who ordered his killing was sitting in a darkened basement watching it all on tv!





Whether Bin Laden deserved the death he got after all the crimes he orchestrated or incited is one thing, but that is not up to the US to decide.  They are not the police force of the world, they were acting outside of their jurisdiction and carried out a revenge killing.  It's bloody terrifying to think that is excusable and it flies in the face of the human right they claim to be promoting.

Hid deed wife's popped up alive and well now and all.  The human shield one.

i think if USA did get him within a few weeks/months of the twin towers thing, people would think different

or even after the london bombings

and im not out to inflame anything

just what i, me, meself think

Martin Luther King didn't say that. Somebody called Jessica Dovey did on Facebook.

I'm late to this thread and there's too many pages to read. Some personal observations and thoughts. When I saw all the cheering outside the White House I was instantly reminded of all the cheering from those of certain beliefs that had no empathy for the tragedy of lost lives in 9/11..why is one celebration of loss of life better than another! ? Since the news my only thoughts have been for those who lost loved ones in 9/11 whatever feelings they have they're entitled to.

 

One thing that irritates me every time 9/11 is mentioned, especially from the American perspective, and commemorated every year at Ground Zero which hubby and I have watched with respect every year is......it's not just Americans who lost their lives. Of the 3.000 approx there were many Nationalities that lost their lives that day because they were either on the planes or were temporarily visiting The Towers for business reasons...why are other Nationalities who died never mentioned in the US...or anywhere?

 

Another thought, Laden is either personally or through his followers responsible for many many deaths, and apparently so is Gaddafi...why has it been deemed illegal to deliberately set out to kill Gaddafi, but not illegal to kill Bin Laden. What and where is the defining line of legal/illegal to kill anyone, whether it's through war or a mad gunman or whoever or by whatever means that someone loses a life because of another. I plainly don't understand human nature and all the criteria of what's thought of as "right" or "wrong", legal or illegal

Oh... well someone tweeted it saying it was Martin Luther King, Jr

 

 

Sounds good anyway

I am watching the news update just now....he was shot in the head with one bullet, one of his wife,s was shot in the leg.......28 Seals with high powered ammunition . Yes i believe that ....  I am in no way saying this man shouldnt have deserved to die, but i do not believe for one minute , what we are being told is the truth......just my humble opinion .....

Be a bit of a laugh if some fishing boat was off doing it's business in the North Arabian Sea and hauled him up in a fortnight. 

I may suggest there could be pieces of him, it was not one bullet.................will we know? Never!

When they chucked him in the sea, surely they'll have put something to weigh him down?

 

Imagine if someone is sitting on some beach somewhere minding their own business when all of a sudden a one eyed osama bin laden with a hole in his head washes ashore. It'd be funny to a degree yes, but a bit gruesome!

 

Ucla undergrades located him a few years ago.

Well, except that the mostly likely location they came up with was 300 miles away.

*suddenly gone off tuna*

Erm confused.com..here are my posts show me Iraq and coward....

 

And in a seperate study it is estimated that Al Qaeda are responsible for 2 to 5 million deaths but hay ho I know who's side I'd prefer to be on and its not on a side that refuses womens and young girls rights, who kill their own people if they don't tow the line and I certainly won't defend a millionaire nutter that could have used his money to feed his people rather than kill them....

 

And I think you've got it wrong about the Saudi thing..the badness was put into him long before that....

 

Sorry I would stay and debate properly but gorse fires have fecked me internet....

Link to 2 to 5 million deaths reference?

Night Pirate. 

 

I gave you UNICEF as one source.  There are plenty of others.

 

Come on though - what's your source for that number you gave?  Then I (we) can be the judge of whether it's credible or propaganda, as you say. 

Unlike some I don't have to prove myself to you poo but I will give you one fact while you still look like you have your Bin Laden love, an anagram of his name is *lob da man in sea*....

Righto

Show me the Bin Laden Love.    

I also hear Elton John has rewrote that song in memory of ya one.. its called Sandles in the bin....

Brilliant. 

I'm wearing that right noo. 

OMG I have a pain.   

This one is more your thing. 

 

US forces killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden plus members of his family, including at least one of his sons, on Sunday during a targeted military operation at a compound in the city of Abbottabad.

 

 

Adds a whole new meaning to ‘taking the bins out’

 

Received this e mail yesterday 

 

They never take the bins out on a Aunday round my way

 They are not the police force of the world, they were acting outside of their jurisdiction and carried out a revenge killing.

fact is they are the policemen of the world, it falls on the super power  of the time to dish out  what they perceive as justice to others, we did  when we had   an empire, the romans did  it  when they had the same, it's how it is, altho i agree we dont have to like it.

 

look at the hoohaah  that went on when  america didnt leap into libya  and  bomb gaddafi, and expressed the desire not  to lead the  nato forces, but eventually they were forced to  because its a sad fact that its only the americans  that can, in most situatoins.
