Bin Laden is dead Megathread

[Harata]

Body confirmed by DNA testing from the corpse that was recovered by JSOC operatives after the raid. Osama bin Laden is dead. With this momentous occasion, we can confirm right now that President Barrack Obama will be re-elected in 2012. I'm sure he was going to be elected, though an arduous fight it would have been, this moment has fully cemented it. Things may get dirty in the following weeks and eventually the Republicans will find something to throw at him, but for now he is golden-boy and untouchable.

This will certainly help Obama, but if the economy and otherwise domestic issues don't improve, I doubt this alone would propel him to victory. Besides, it's still a fairly long time until the elections.

I'm saying destroy theats to our nation thoroughly. Fuck them, and fuck their rights. Make them an example out of them so others won't be so quick to attack us.

I have a question for you:
Why didn't we just assassinate him immediately? Why didn't we set up a network to kill him as soon as he was involved in violence against the US back in 1998?

I can answer your first question. It's simple and you should know; we couldn't find him.

Don't be silly. I've seen CSI, I know it takes all of about 6 minutes (or the length of one commercial break, depending on who is doing it).

I don't know about you, but I give most of the credit to the military/intelligence services and some folks in the Bush admin.

We tried. Amazingly enough, you need to find someone in order to kill them, and finding people can be very difficult when you've got multiple continents to search.

Maybe we had people like you in charge who thought the situation would resolve itself.

Obama DID give credit to the military/intelligence services, and he did give Bush Jr. a bit of credit. I mean c'mon, Obama was the one that gave the orders to strike, he deserve some credit too.

Well, it is kinda high-profile...

Heh, in scary movies, this would be the worst time to celebrate.

We must look out for the supreme evil monster!

Seriously. Kim Jong-Il is only Obfuscating Stupidity. He's really running the world right now, like Kefka.

It doesn't take that long to be honest.

1) I don't know. Maybe we couldn't get at him. Or maybe we took whatever advantage we could out of a terrible event, which is just fine.
2) We probably thought he was a minor threat, not worth the effort to track down.

There's reasons NATO and the UN exist. All NATO nations should have been part of a network to kill him in the first place.

[Cresilia]

First time I would be demanding noobtubes.

Wonder how many points his death would be worth. That spec ops soldier must have already prestiged.

You killed:
Osama bin Laden:
1 000 000 000 000 XP

Could be up to half an hour. Probably less.

No doubt. Maybe I'm just a diehard fan of my country's men and women in arms but...that's just me. Yes, Obama, as well, deserves to share in the fruits of Bin Laden's death.

You know, the guys who charged in and took Osama out are going to get a lot of (much deserved) credit, but what about the dude that analyzed the report from Pakistan that listed the street address of a suspicious place where a strange man with a beard resided?

Oh well, that's what the Medal of Freedom is for I suppose. They do get the warm fuzzy feeling of being part of a job well done though.

The attack took place a week ago. The body was claimed and taken, I assume, to JSOC command and thence to the closest lab. The reason why this news was not announced a week ago, is so that they would have time to confirm, by the DNA testing, that it was in fact bin Laden. This has been confirmed.

Clinton certainly tried a few times, but before 2001, he seemed more of a bit player, not worth a real war with someone like Sudan.

There are a number of tests that are reasonably accurate and can be done in a matter of minutes.

Look, I'm fine if you're against him getting ALL the credit, but don't you believe he at least deserves SOME. If Bush did that, I would give him some credit. I still wouldn't like the guy, but I would still give him some credit.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda, it's all irrelevant now. Bin Laden's dead, that's what matters.
