Bin Laden is dead Megathread

[Farnhamia]

Wouldn't that create the impression - pointless now, of course - that the Iranians killed Bin Laden, thereby doing the US a favor? So instead of being upset with Iran, unless the body actually hit someone, wouldn't we be in debt to them?

No profit.

No, USA will claim that "we killed that guy and threw him in sea but Iranian divers went down and retrieve the body, just so that they can ruin our grand street party."

Yeah, that'll get Congress in the mood to declare war on Iran.

[Krasnotav]

How would I bury him? ...In a hole I guess. With dirt and stuff... Or sand. You know, like how you normally bury things.

Though it would've been funny if the US Navy strung his body up like a puppet and made him walk the plank

[Juristonia]

I'd do the exact same thing that's been done to him now.
Mainly because I'm not a backwards asshole with the same sense of decency as the people we're supposed to hate for being uncivilised.
And also because it sends a clear message to the rest of the world. Even if you hate us, we will still treat your remains with respect because we're a civilised nation.

When was the last time Congress declared war? President can authorize "deployment of troops for protection of Iran from Al Quedia take over"... After all USA will get oil USA cant afford another nation falling to grip of Islamic radical terrorists.

I don't know, I still think it would be a brilliant idea to string the body up like a puppet and use it to make the next big American family sitcom.

Give his body full Islamic Rights, bury him in a unmarked grave in an undisclosed location, what better way to treat a monster? Then to show that he could not lower us to his level. It's the ultimate victory.

Oh, also this.

Glad to see there's at least some common sense around here.

[Izandai]

4 srs: As it was done. We don't want any more Muslims mad at us.

jk1: Very, very, very, deep.

jk2: In LLLAAAVVVAAA!!!!!

Someone needs to build themself a sick sense of humour. Yeesh.

[Arkhanta]

Why bury him? I would erect a 10 foot cross on World Trade Center ground zero and tie his corpse to it until it rots and falls apart.

While I imagine the idea appeals to al-Qaeda, they have nowhere near the resources to take over Iran, a nation of 75,000,000 people, 90 to 95 percent of whom are Shi'ite heretics. Silly.

Stuff like "I would have cut off his male member, placed it in his mouth (so he'd be sucking d*ck for eternity). Chop off his head, and force it up his arse, smear his body with spam, and wrap it in raw bacon. Then finally inter him in a football, buried under the biggest pig pen I could find." has fairly little to do with having a sick sense of humour and more to do with having the mental capacity of a 12 year old, imo.

In the middle of the Phillies game last night, word got around and everyone was chanting "USA!", it was an amazing moment. Two concerns I have about this: that it may have been a lookalike/decoy, and that the extremists will make him a martyr and only get worse. But, for now,

if it was a decoy it was one of his brothers. they did a dna test.

I just looked back at my post and it sounds a bit 'conspiracy theory' for me (I didn't know about the DNA tests at the time). Don't take this the wrong way, people--I never believed in those possibilities for a second, I just brought them up for discussion's sake.

Now I'm starting to think a lot about whether we should keep pumping $20 billion of aid into Pakistan. I mean, how hard is it to realize there's something strange going on in a compound in the middle of a populated area that's 30 miles from the capital city and a stone's throw from a MILITARY CAMP? No wonder Obama didn't trust Pakistan enough to tell them about the raid.

[PurdleDurdle]

I suppose the cathartic excersise is beyond some people

[Juristonia]

When the result of it would be a massive global shit storm and the loss of civility, I'd say it should be beyond any rational person.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

The world needs weak jokes. Without them, the good stuff wouldn't be as funny by comparison. For example, anyone that's seen "Weekend at Bernie's" would laugh at the mental image of a dead Osama puppet walking the plank or being the main character of a sitcom series. Surrounded by bad jokes, it's made even funnier.

[Lerro]

On my mantle.

Good evening America. I am the ghost of your president, Barack Obama.

It has come to my attention that I, your president, Barack Obama, am dead. I feel it is only necessary that I address the American people of this urgent matter personally.

My administration is working around the clock to ensure that the culprit behind my death is identified, and put to justice. I leave my position as president of these United States in the capable hands of vice president Joe Biden.

And with that, I depart. Good night America, and God bless.

(Ascends into heaven)

[Tilgar]

cut off his head and put it on a pike at ground zero then put the body in a plane and drop the body in mecca.

[Dwaseria]

respect his family and give him a proper burrial.
it wasnt their fault he was what he was.
he was a bad person but by doing what youre all saying you are only going to make all radical muslims angrier and acting like one of them.
bury him properly and show we are more advanced and civilized than they are, thats the only way really.
sorry for grammar, im not english :S

[Metanih]

He didn't die... the govt lied to us and just captured him and sent him to an out of country base to be tortured is ways that are not legal on USA ground. That's likely random paranoia but what if is isn't???

[Krasnotav]

You know what?

This is the perfect place for an Achmed referance, actually.



There we go. That goes well with this thread's décor.

I haven't a source - look one up later - but I did hear that he was given Muslim rites and then buried at sea, something that is not out of the question for followers of Islam.

Im not saying americans havent done it i was just saying what i would do.
Its difficult to say really.
Idont know if they have, but thanks for saying anyway

[Sucrati]

Bury him in a hole, seeing as the USA couldn't find a country for him to be buried in, digging a hole and placing his body in it is still more along the lines of Muslim law than burying his body at sea.
