Vanir Ausf B Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Apparently he was nailed by a Predator drone a few days ago. Pres. Obama is going on TV soon to make the official announcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanir Ausf B Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 I wonder if that will be an end of it all ? It's debatable how relevant bin Ladin has been for some time outside of symbolic value. Nevertheless I suspect there's going to be some discussion that this would be a good opportunity to declare victory in Afghanistan and get out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger33 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I've seen other reports saying it was a Spec Ops team, which will be much better for the soon to written movie. In all seriousness though, call me when I can get on a plane with a bottle of shampoo, that's the day we will have won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ed Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I've seen other reports saying it was a Spec Ops team, which will be much better for the soon to written movie. His death was the result of a U.S. operation launched today in Abbottabad, Pakistan, against a compound where bin Laden was believed to be hiding, according to U.S. intelligence. After a firefight, a small team of American forces killed bin Laden and took possession of his body, the president said. Could be a new CMSF mission 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadekster88 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yep, sounds like a team was sent in from what I've read. Glad to see one less person out there that would like to drown my country in blood. Good riddance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Ahoniemi Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hooray! I remember the reaction on this board after 9/11. A board member posted: "Someone is going to pay". Now he has. Sadly there still are tons of a-holes who use religion to brainwash children to be suicide bombers :mad: But this news just made my day. I guess this calls for a party around the globe! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good riddance. I'd share that feeling if I thought for a moment that this would mean it is all over, maybe it can be used as a face saving watershed to realign foreign policy for the US but I am not hopeful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 This news explains why no one is talking about the beatification of Pope John Paul II. I thought that was because of Kate Middleton's nipples?

Vanir Ausf B Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yep, the initial speculation that it was a Predator drone was wrong. He was shot in the head during a firefight. The most surprising detail is that he wasn't hiding out in a cave in the mountains. He was living in a nice big house in Islamabad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The latest news is that he wasn't hiding in Pakistan at all, he was living in Beverly Hills, L.A. this whole time. Nobody thought to look there! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanir Ausf B Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 $25 million. But it sounds like nobody will be collecting. The information that eventually led to him came from members of al-Qaeda captured after 9/11. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
