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.

The good news also is that after the movie comes out. Every high school kid in the land is going to want to be a Navy SEAL!

You didn't know that he was the one with tiger blood that killed him? That is why they canceled two and a half men for a couple months. So he could get debriefed on the situation and go in for the kill.

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.
