[Kid_Eternity]

Store it in that warehouse they put the Ark of the Covenant in at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark?

I actually was expecting Obama to do this when i watched the live speech

 

[pengaleng]

osama to saddam: 'told you that hole was a bullshit idea m8, WINNING'

 

[Bakunin]

Thinking about the 25 million dollar price tag on Osama, I wonder how much the the next Andy McNab wannabe is likely to make when they (in the public interest and not to rake in piles of cash, honest) bring out yet another tell-all special forces bestseller along the lines of 'Osama: My Part In His Downfall'?

 

[Kippa]

I am glad that Osama is dead, but am concerned about possible retaliatory attacks.

 

[rightone]

Wonder how many old tape will be released to claim he is still alive.

 

[pengaleng]

it'll be like fucking tupac.

 

[purves grundy]

Probably the ISI bod who let on where they've been hiding him

*rues career choice*

 

[Riklet]

At least if they've been given 5 mil each or whatever for blowing him away, they'll be less likely to sell extracts from the book to the Sunday papers hah.

Ok sleep now, i've bin laden with tiredness since before i started getting hooked on our news for the next week....

 

[rightone]

There are a lot of storys on how he got it. which one is true or did they miss him again. Who will get the body or crazy enought to claim it.

Well, guess some will happen but not killing him wasn't an option for the US admin. Glad they got him & no civilians were hurt, apparently.

[miniGMgoit]

Along with Anne Frank

Speaking of profiteering, would it be entirely wrong of me to run a book on the precise time that the first jokes about this news begin to appear?

 

[pengaleng]

he's bin and gone, lads.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

100's outside the White House chanting USA, USA. Fuck sakes, don't want to see what happens in retaliation

Apparently all embassies etc are now on high alert.

 

[turing test]

What will they do with the body?????

Pig feed?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Before you all smile too much, remember that Al Qaeda is far more than one man and is a movement, not an organisation. Blood will flow in response.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

What will they do with the body?????

Gratuitously show it to the world, to encourage others to kill, ensuring that TWAT continues.

 

[pengaleng]

well obviously, to think otherwise is a bit fucking ridiculous.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

According to this his body will be handled in accordance to Islamic tradition. Although that's a bit puzzling because my understanding is Muslim's must be buried as close to the death as possible (usually within 24 hours I think)...

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

So why are people celebrating?

Well quite, Bin Laden hasn't been thought to have had operational control for a good few years...

 

[pengaleng]

So why are people celebrating?

because we don't have to hear another week of the royal wedding? do you ask the same thing when people take the piss out of the death of other unsavoury figures/celebrities?

I dont see why it would be a problem, take sufficient photos, finger prints and tissue samples and bury the rest in an unmarked grave, job done!

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

No, but then the death of Thatcher is unlikely to mean that some of my colleagues get blown up taking the tube.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Oh Christ, just seen Obama's statement.



Who are we at war with? Eurasia? Eastasia?
