For us, insular thinking is killing many more humans than any natural disaster imo. Bradford is well respected for it's multicultural roots, I'm praying the moderates will ignore the expected pronounced vocalists for our city's sake......No more riots pls. xx Title: Re: Osama Post by: Woodsey on May 02, 2011, 06:49:03 AM I just spent the evening with a mix of docs from the uk, India, pakistan and the middle east. Whilst they are all uk based and have been for a long time the last three groups are glad the ***** is dead, although they know it won't change anything.
Title: Re: Osama Post by: AndrewT on May 02, 2011, 06:51:23 AM Interesting twitter thread from this guy in Abbottabad.
@ReallyVirtual (http://twitter.com/#!/ReallyVirtual) Seems like he tweeted updates on the operation to get Bin Laden without realising it.

Their support of AQ/Ins has been known all along all along. Hence why Cameron stuck it to 'em when he first got in office. God knows why he back peddled a few weeks ago and chucked em another wedge. News brought a huge smile to my face this morning, but at the same time I still feel pretty guarded and a little worried. There'll always be someone to step up to the plate - and lets face it, the Middle East/North Africa has rarely been so volatile as it is now :-( Title: Re: Osama Post by: bhoywonder on May 02, 2011, 03:23:29 PM Feeling uneasy at the lack of evidence... video or photo...the u.s. werent shy about humiliating saddam....hmmmm....

How so? Didnt they kill him? Do u want a picture of dead body? Havent they released pictures of the compound he stayed in? What kinda of evidence were u looking for? What would be the advantage of faking all of this? Obviously next election is a shoo in, but surely if it all comes out its gg for many years to come. Not trying to cause a debate or argument, ;hide; Just wondering what made u uneasy. Title: Re: Osama Post by: Ironside on May 02, 2011, 03:39:35 PM someone is for the high jump

Bragging rights if u will.... Surely they could/would have this recorded...as it unfolded I'm not looking for gory stuff..but non-believers/conspiracists will have a field day Why the sudden disposal of the body at sea....to deter macabre trophy hunters? Of course maybe,apart from the presidents speech..they prefer this news to be more downbeat to deter potential future terrorist martyrs.... Title: Re: Osama Post by: celebspec on May 02, 2011, 03:51:49 PM This aint a good thing, there will still be many who followed the good ship Bin Ladden that will be really pissed off. I expect to see fireworks in the next few weeks, GG USA.

Hmmmm Title: Re: Osama Post by: The Baron on May 02, 2011, 04:32:53 PM A 40 minute assault with a real chance of being captured and questioned/tortured indefinitely? Unlikely he was killed by a US soldier imho. Far easier to claim you went in to kill him and not show any pictures of it.

I'm pretty sure you could find it via Google.

The Americans have come on leaps and bounds with COIN in the last 7 years. Lots of big big lessons learnt; humiliating Saddam/putting Stars n Stripes over statues/burning Korans being amongst those (don't include their crazy general population in that number though) Title: Re: Osama Post by: bhoywonder on May 02, 2011, 05:57:18 PM What is MEB,COIN and PSYOPS?

Glad someone else has brought this up. All seems a bit weird to me. How exactly do you mount a major military offense like this in another country near one of the most disputed borders in the world (Kashmir) without that countries military detecting you? Everything seems to be on the word of the US govt which makes me a bit uncomfortable. Given the fact that this is supposed to be an international war on terrorism surely it wouldn't have been too hard to have other allies involved in this. Title: Re: Osama Post by: Josedinho on May 02, 2011, 10:55:24 PM Flew in under radar in helicopters. Did the job. Flew out. Rang Pakistan to let them know it had happened.
Seems that they didn't feel they could inform a country who has denied for years that he was there that he actually was for fear that he would have been tipped off. Title: Re: Osama Post by: bhoywonder on May 02, 2011, 11:04:44 PM Is it justifiable to launch an attack in a country to assassinate an enemy without at least permission sought...Pakistan must be hurting and embarrassed...almost an act of war in itself..
He was the west's number one enemy...granted. I guess u.s. thought it was.....despite the fallout n repercussions to follow Title: Re: Osama Post by: celebspec on May 02, 2011, 11:14:42 PM Pretty sure he's not dead.

I've not really followed the story but for those wondering the US troops are clearly the best for this role, are people suggesting Pakistan didn't give the go ahead for this operation? I find that startling. As for having 'other nations' helping out as someone suggested, this was a small operation it would have made it a lot harder. Sledge do you really think they were hiding him there or do you think they actually had fck all clue he was there? Please tell me you were leveling.

Sledge do you really think they were hiding him there or do you think they actually had fck all clue he was there? Please tell me you were leveling. I'm pretty certain he is dead but I also find it pretty hard to believe that it went down the way it did. There are just too many inconsistencies. Is it really possible for a foreign nation to carry out an operation like this 700 yards away from a base where the cream of a nations officers are trained without them having any idea about it? near to the Kashmir border one of the most disputed areas in the world. Could they really not get the dna independently verified and release verified pictures? The idea that a burial at sea was in line with Islamic traditions has been shot down in flames pretty quickly. Just all seems so convenient right down to the "Bin Laden" compound being right next door to some Pakistani guy with Twitter that was on his pc late that night and conveniently tweets in English and inadvertently tweets the whole thing. Title: Re: Osama Post by: smashedagain on May 04, 2011, 06:16:45 PM BTW, I killed Colonel Gaddafi last night. I didn't take any pictures and threw his body into the sea. Just take my word for it; he's definitely dead. my old man claimed that this was close to happening in the late 60's i assume. him and some mates had to make do with blowing up some oil field/terminal insteadTitle: Re: Osama Post by: GrannyDee on May 05, 2011, 12:40:52 PM No photos of Bin Laden's dead body, Obama says "for national security reasons" not like the Americans to miss a photo opportunity.
Title: Re: Osama Post by: boldie on May 05, 2011, 12:52:25 PM Could the CIA bloke who thinks that Bin Laden was living in a luxury villa worth $1,000,000 please drop me a line... I would like to sell him my house
Title: Re: Osama Post by: boldie on May 05, 2011, 12:55:00 PM Even though we both speak the same language, it's amazing how there are some subtle differences between American-English and proper English:
They say "sidewalk" we say "pavement" They say "pants" we say "trousers" They say "buried at sea" we say "naked and chained to a metal bed frame with a car battery connected to his bollocks whilst being beaten for answers".
