Considering the number of AQ attacks on Shia mosques there's a sizeable proportion of muslim opinion that won't mourn the fucker.

Burned in a Viking longboat, was it? Why dispose of it 'at sea'? I remember when Pol Pot died, there were photos of his corpse with cotton wool stuffed in his nostrils to prove he wasn't breathing.

For Osama, on the other hand, it's burial at sea. Hmmmm.

Then burned on a pyre of car tyres and assorted trash.

Two wrongs dont make a right - this sort of attitude leads down a seriously dodgy road to more bloodshed.

lol.

A time for celebration and joy? No. Relief, yes. Hopefully Al Qaeda will wither away even more quickly now. Bin Laden was a criminal and mass murderer, no more, no less, don't give him or his followers any cause for martyrdom or idolisation. If the overall mood in America is exultant about this news, then it saddens me. Maybe the media is whipping that up though. I know several Americans, quiet and humble people, who will not be "overjoyed", just relieved, and I bet it is people like them who are the quiet majority.

IF normal politics breaks out in the arab world. the various tryants and kings go. then israel will have to deal.
hence peace breaking out.
afgan and pakistan will still be shitholes but less recruits and cash for loony tunes

Abbottabad sounds like the Pakistan equivalent of Aldershot, so it's a bit of an odd place to hide if the military/ISI are actually chasing you with any real enthusiasm ...

I think it is deeper than that. The Arab spring, especially Tunisia and Egypt, represent an ideological blow to Islamist ideas. Especially to the elitist guerrillaist ideas associated with Al Qaeda. Not least because Tunisia and Egypt present an approach that works and an approach based on the mass participation of the Arab people, an idea directly opposed to the secretive, elitist and nihilistic strategy offered by Bin Laden. Egypt shows that mass participatory politics can win. We should not forget that Al Qaeda was essentially started in Egypt and its strategy developed there. It is fitting that the ideological blow that kills it has been struck there.

not really- if you've bought silence where beter to hide than the last place you'd be looked for?

I have been to Abbottabad (briefly) It is a rather large town as far as I recall. and not the kind of place I expected Bin Laden to be. I expected him to be in the tribal areas of the NWFP. That he was found there indicates he had support and protection from some sections of the Pakistani ISI

Bush's Mission Accomplished speech was on 1st May
Hitler was also announced dead on the 1st May.



Muwhahaaaaaa!

 

[butchersapron]

Bush never said 'mission accomplished' as regards Bin Laden - it was Paul Bremer.

 

[Barking_Mad]

Bush never said 'mission accomplished' -it was Paul Bremer.

He said,

"In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed."

So he might as well have done.

Meant to answer your earlier post re. "Bin Laden at sea" - so far, no sign of any outrage from the Muslim street on this, so you could well be right.

Yes, as your quote shows, he was talking about something else entirely.

 

[danny la rouge]

There was, however, a big banner behind him saying "Mission Accomplished" while he gave his speech.

And they announced the Cato Street heroes dead on this day too.
