Oh dear.....USA created another martyr for the extremists to follow and hold up as a symbol of Western oppression.
Despite what the UK news teams are saying, is this really a time for 'celebration', this will only inflame further the likes of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

So nothing has and ever will actually change will it.



So the body was disposed of at sea ??
They were a hell of a long way from any sea......

Found in Widnes' throphy room apparantley.

Approx 600 miles and given that Navy Seals were involved and likely to be flying Black Hawks back to US ships, its no different than travelling from Glasgow to London and dropping somebody off at Watford.

you'd think a few pictures of him, bit of a video tape and then dump him.

there is a picture of him circulating

I wonder if they will name the people who got the final shot?

Was it for the best he was killed,will we now see more acts of terriorism.As groups will now want to avenge his death.



of course, with him alive the world was full of peace and harmony. Have you heard of 9/11, mumbai, etc, etc

Died years ago, but lets not let the facts get in the way of a good story.
10 years ago it was reported that he was having kidney dialysis 3 times per week, who spent years travelling through mountains on a donkey, who lived a simple life according to the traditions of Islam, and yet, was found in a multi million pound mansion, in a garrison town 60 miles from the capital living in splendour, and is now buried at sea!! Might wash with simple-minded Yanks, but not me.

=#FF0000snip no youtube links of copyright footage,

forward wind to 2 minutes.

As if they really caught him. At a time the US government is under massive public pressure due to budget cuts/restraints, a huge fillip for them in the polls.

And this topic needs to be on here because? thought this a rugby forum why would i want to come on here and read this drivel,plenty news channels showing this, ppl will know before login here to read it.

No chance. It would be a massive security breach and would give anyone looking for revenge a target.

I don't think the 'special interests' that exert influence over the US, are particularly aligned with Obama and the Democrats, and they wouldn't do him any electoral favours. They are more likely to want Obama's government to fall and the Republicans come back in.

I reckon they probably got him. Sounds like they were trying for the double this weekend, Gaddafi and Bin Laden.

I can see the logic behind burial at sea but I think they will need some concrete pictures to make people believe it was him. They took photos of Che Guevara when they killed him.

His death was annouced on the same date as Hitler's was

Cue a Pennington change of Avatar, then

Are people suggesting they've made this up? As conspiracy theories go it's a big one. Anyone care to offer a shred of evidence to back up that contention?

Hitlers was announced ages ago, silly!

I'm sure conspiracy theories will gather pace during the next few weeks as the [ifacts[/i (cough cough) become known.

I'm guessing he's being water-boarded in Guantanamo as I write this.

again ???????????????

I don't see how people could think that the US government could fake his death, unless they've captured him at least, in which case it would have been a better PR coup to say that he is prisoner and will stand trial in the US for his part in September 11.

Surely if the US tried to claim he was dead, when he wasn't, a video would soon find its way to Al Jazeera saying "HAHA you thought I was dead? Nope, still here terrorising your Western asses lol"

Some people suggest that he never existed in the first place.

Maybe they will show a killcam like on cod?

So people think the world will be a better place,now that Bin Laden is dead.Get real, his death will step up a campaign of hate towards all nations concerned.

Osama Bin Laden killed in pakistan.

Who said you can't take the bin out on a bank holiday......

Au contraire to the case in point.

From ABCNews:

The Obama administration has photographs of Osama bin Laden’s dead body and officials are debating what to do with them and whether they should be released to the public, officials tell ABC News.

“There’s no doubt it’s him,” says a US official who has seen the pictures and also reminds us that OBL was 6’4”.

The argument for releasing them: to ensure that the public knows and can appreciate that he's dead. There is of course skepticism throughout the world that the US government claim that it killed bin Laden is true.

The argument against releasing the pictures: they’re gruesome. He has a massive head wound above his left eye where he took bullet, with brains and blood visible.

In July 2003, the US government released photographs of Saddam Hussein’s dead sons Uday and Qusay Hussain but not until after they’d been touched up by a mortician, making them look not quite real.
