Bin Laden Is Dead

[Mr. Charles 22]

I read that this house was not the only place he stayed for the last 6 years. Amir Aziz, his doctor just lived 100 m from the mansion and rumours say, that he treated Bin Laden for a wound on his left leg, which Bin Laden got from ToraBora and an infection, maybe even Hepatitis.

Forget the mission I'm waiting for the Spike Jonze feature film:

Being Bin Laden

I'm wondering, What is the point of these "Stealth Hawks"? Sounds like something Hollywood would make up. :rolleyes:

That is very funny.

I wonder how many sharks he will be dissecting?

ive come across a few articles that say he was unarmed. those seals were probably so pissed off they shot him anyways...I could understand that. Either way he WAS wanted dead or alive.

Even if he came out of the room surrendering I wouldnt care if he still got shot. I hate when people worry if they broke the Geneva Convention when they killed Bin Laden. Who really cares?

Uh...oh... you may not have noticed but a lot of people care for this. And if you missed it... the actual ongoing Taliban offensive is connected to this. Some people thought "let's kill Osama and let's go home"

That was just the beginning of the end of NATO presence in A-Stan.

Read Johann Ewald's book "About the little war" published in 1785..in it you find a descrption how the british army officers failed...they used hardship and inhumanity against the armerican colonists... that in turn made the colonists to take actions of various kinds including joinign the rebellion against the british empires army... leading to the loss of the american colonies....

try to learn from your own history.

Johan Ewald was a Captain of a Hessian-Kassel Jaeger Regiment deployed to the american colonies in mercenary service for the british empire and wrote the very first book about the rules if uncoventional warfare, later called "Guerilla Warfare".

Things happen this way fore more than 250 years but every new generation of politicians and military brass seems believes they have reinvented the wheel despite the fact that even a high tech drone cant do more than 50 Husars did 250 years before.

i really wouldnt have cared if they ripped his head, arms and legs off by mules and sent them to all corners of the world via fedex.

what bothers me is that they say they shot him, then they hid the body so we can only take the word of someone that is famous for obscuring the truth or manipulating it.

and they also buried/hid him in acordance with his religion, his religion shouldnt matter one bit in this matter.

his religion attacked us, and are attacking its own people.

now there is always the tale of repurcusions. all wars start for a reason, you treat me bad i treat you bad, you treat me more bad i up the ante and so on and so forth.

and then we have the politicians..... we could tie one politician to each bomb and drop them on the enemys, thats the only real good use they have.

they would most likely screw up any laser targeting, so it would need to be dumb bombs so to speak.

Brilliant historical analysis

You should consider using this as your honors thesis.

Although i understand your personal feelings, politically it was the correct decision to respect the religion and the "privacy of death" (sorry, don't know better word for it) of OBL.

For those countries there, USA is the evil, the bad guys. To ensure a longetivity peace (which should IMHO always be top priority) you will have to change the picture those people have. With this in mind, what would be the better way: what you've proposed or what actually happened?

If you want earn respect, you have to show respect first, no matter how difficult it is. Else you're not a bitt better than any terrorist out there.

I think the strategy is to convince the elders to stop the bloodshed by making them regret they ever put these boys in the field with high casualty rates, which to some degree according to articles ive read of the elders opinion does seem like its working to that degree but people have a mind of their own.

Yeah i understand the political decision, not that i agree with it.

Short term, it was the quickest and most global peaceful thing to do.

But history dictates that they will always have bloodshed, it is culture or heritage.

Now they have noone to hold accountable, exept the new war lords taking his place and celebrating his "sacrifise" to inspire the newly recruited troops, so that they might join him in paradise some day.

We only bought a cheap temp peace or temp non escalation.

(cheap in a global term)

IMO we acknowledged that the very (version) of their religion that inspires to fight was real and valid, and thus we gave away our biggest chance of ever settling any peace or form of progress.

If we could have publicly discredited him as a betrayer of his own religion via old respected tribal leaders by any means (bribes,threats,deals), we could have achived powerful longterm results, at least thats what i think.
