Well.... there is NATO and many European countries which could have conducted this raid but, didn't. I have a difficult time believing that no European (including Russia) intelligence service detected that compound. The CIA did and America acted on the intelligence.I suppose it is very easy to say that, "they should have done this" or "they should have done that", but I do believe that they would have taken him alive if possible, in fact I think that was their primary aim
If photos are released, the doubters will say they were 'photo-shopped'!I do want to see some hard evidence, I believe he is gone, but just want to make sure,
I don't know, call me wary.
A Bin Laden Trial? What a Circus!
Normally you put a premium on capturing high profile targets because information is the true prize. Then why does some continue to wonder why the SEAL´s shoot Osama bin Laden? For a civilian it might not be understandable but for a soldier, it makes sense. You only accept surrender "if the target don´t pose any type of threat whatsoever," and if you are "confident of that in terms of him not having some type of hidden weapon or whatever on his body."
I think it serves the Americans honor in choosing to give him a "burial at sea" (a sacred term) when talking about this piece of garbage that should have been taken to the fantail and dumped.
And as my grandfather says, now I have two dates that fills me with joy. The first one is April 30, 1945.
Congratulations on a job well done.
Dead, and buried at sea, that means end of story for Osama Bin Laden.
No shrine, no martyrs grave, no hostages taken and killed in order to have him released.
Osama Bin Laden captured alive and tried in any kind of court...that option opens an enormous can of worms, and would mean years of suffering worldwide.
There are still plenty of places that will become "attractions" if not shrines, the place of his birth and death to name a few. We can't just wipe them off the map, even if we demolish the building, the place remains.
I think we are only trying to comfort ourselves if we think that we are going to remove his memory from the minds of his followers.
I do agree that we are far better off not having a show trial though as it would certainly have taken years and become a "circus"
I agree with you view to a degree, but I feel that those who will see him as a martyr will see him as living like a true soldier of in the Islamic tradition forsaking worldly comforts and seeking his solace in Allah . These are religious nutters they don't see the world nor anything in it as we do.---snip--
As a propoganda martyr, the picture of Osama Bin Laden screams anything but martyr. Osama Bin Laden's 'fame' will spit and sputter for a short time and then go out. He will end up as nothing but a footnote of history.
:biggun:Reuters - While many world leaders applauded the U.S. operation that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, there were concerns in parts of Europe that the United States was wrong to act as policeman, judge and executioner.
