Breaking News! CNN announces Osama Bin Laden is Dead !

I found it funny. Warning, it contains swearing.
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYZkMcCOvlw]YouTube - Hitler's Reaction to Osama Bin Laden's Death (OFFICIAL VIDEO)![/ame]
 
Quite frankly, I could give a rat's ass that Bin Laden was given a Muslim burial or not. How about all the people buried beneath the rubble on 9-11? The bodies annihilated, ripped to shreds and mixed in with the dust and debris, never to be recovered again. Did they get a choice of how they wanted to be buried?

Anyone grumbling about the manner that his body was disposed not being proper can take the butt end of a Colt M-16 and shove it up their ass.

Well, Osama is happy down there. Maybe inside Great White shark's belly. That is his final hideout.

Agreed. I think it is ridiculous to be so worried about OBL's burial. He doesn't deserve any Muslim burial. Flush his ashes down the toilet.

So right on. The 9/11 victims never got their say. Its come full circle.
 
Someone somewhere is going to claim they Saw OBL at Graceland with Elvis :roll:

I just don't foresee any $$$ in parachuting OBL impersonators in Vegas though.

It's not so much about "deserving" it, or even about respecting him as a person whatsoever. It's merely an example we did to show the other countries over there that we're not trying to instigate them or spark a "holy war" or any other similar hogwash.

I'd agree that it shouldn't really be needed for us to show that (ie it should be self-explanatory that we're just going after a very bad person who is a direct enemy of our country), but the fact that we were willing to even give thought to the "proper" form of burial is a step in the direction of stopping future jihadists from having yet another excuse to say "OH LOOK AT THAT EVIL AMERICA". Will it help? Will it have any effect whatsoever? I dunno. Maybe, maybe not. But the fact that we were even willing to try does scores for improving our image to the rest of the world, which is a very good thing.

I should think taking out a terrorist would improve our image for the rest of the world.

Giving thought to the proper Muslim burial won't matter an iota to extremists because they aren't rational people. They only want to see America's downfall.

This is just my opinion. The decision to give OBL a proper Muslim burial was made by others who probably know more about the ins and outs of the situation than I do.

The people are the one who have power to combat against terrorists, not government or military. Terrorist groups exist to feed on people's hatred and to do what they couldn't do.

Win their hearts and minds.... then we can win against Al Queda without even having to engage in costly, bloody war like Vietnam War.

Sun Tzu - "The best victory is when the opponent surrenders of its own accord before there are any actual hostilities...It is best to win without fighting."

Only in those parts of the world where terrorists are considered the bad guys.

A Muslim friend once told me that only Americans think that bombing without regard to collateral damage is not terrorism. Somehow she's got a point.

Good point. :ty: I don't claim I know everything about anything.

How do you win the hearts and minds of people who have an opposing world view?

The rest of the world isn't nearly as obsessed with terrorism as the US currently is, nor would they all necessarily agree on who is a terrorist.

We're not aiming for the current terrorists. You're right. They're beyond help. We're trying to get the more moderate people, who might somewhat sympathise with the terrorists' leanings if they see a US that completely disregards and degrades their culture.
