OT- Osama Bin Laden is Dead
Apparently something big is happening in the world. We have NO idea what. But I suggest you get to a television.
The only thing they have said is that it is "national security related."
EDIT: Twitter is abuzz with a rumor that we got Bin Laden. Waiting for TomVH to confirm. Also, If this is too political, feel free to delete. But I thought this might generate some interest.
EDIT II: CNN confirms: the United States has the body of Osama Bin Laden. War on Terror Muppets.
EDIT III: Thread locked to prevent the inevitable political flame war from escalating. [ZL]
Just my opinion but this looks photoshopped. If thats supposed to be his body below, then why is it white? Also the head looks awfully blurry compared to the rest of the picture. Actually from the nose up it looks different, looks like someone took a picture of a dead person from the eyes up and put it on the lower portion of Osamas face.
....that you like to talk out of your ass about whether or not photos were photoshopped.
This is the real deal. Stop with the conspiracy theory bullshit.
It's photoshopped.
...outrage withdrawn.
That photo has apparently been online since 2009....

Can you tell me why he was "buried at sea" then?
...the opportunity for followers to venerate his burial place. This takes away a potential rallying point.
While yes I'll admit I was talking out of my ass about the photoshop. I've never actually used it or anything, but I just stated what I saw. I'm not starting conspiracy bullshit, I just was stating that that wasn't a picture of him dead. I personally think the fucker is dead, I just wouldn't expect pictures like that to just pop up on the internet.
...and in retrospect, the speed that it popped up made it suspicious. Good call.
Its understandable, as I'm sure there will be a ton of conspiracy theorists trying to argue that they need proof that he's dead (i.e. picture, head on stake) but they are saying facial recognition and DNA confirmed it was him. Well now he's buried at see, probably at a depth thats bone crushing, where I hope bottom dwellers feed on his body.
...that the US subpoenad and then obtained brain tissue from OBL's sister after she passed away. That's the source of the DNA comparison data.
I haven't read new details yet, but was his sister the one being used as a human shield, or was that his wife? They didn't specify last night by the time I went to bed, either way its a cowardly move.
...whose DNA was extracted happened a few years ago, apparently.
As far as I know, we have had DNA samples from bin laden's family for several years. We even have the capability to do a retina scan right then and there, but considering it was a head shot I'm not sure if that could have been done.
Going back and forth on this - it could be photoshopped. My original impression was that the head looked blurry because that's where he was shot but maybe not. Sure we'll know soon enough.
...points to the photo as a fake. The real image is much more graphic than that.
....let's not forget the real reason for our excitement:
And because you can't have one without the other... http://youtu.be/LTPiVKgGmP8 (sorry, embedding disabled...but too awesome not to include...)

buried at sea. shark bait now.
Just remember the retarded extremists will prob do retaliation attacks on US soil so be observant. And lastly remember Obama had nothing to do with this other than ordering the mission as a go. Always thank the men and women of the Armed Forces who do the dirty work so you can sleep well at night.
yes, just like Osama Bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11 - except ordering the mission.
even for a day?
...out of your ass about shit you know nothing about. When the fucking President of the United States of America orders his Director of Cental Intelligence to make locating and eliminating OBL the CIA's top priority, then ensures that the miliary and intelligence community apparatus carries out his direction, then he had something to do with it. Stop making political judgments and start acting like a citizen of this great nation of ours. So sick of this sort of attitude.
That's the most worked up I've ever seen you Shoe. I can't read the original comment but it must have been pretty stupid.
You can see it if you modify your settings.
You are being way too defensive in this thread.
...on offense. Offensive, so to speak.
Actually, you're just being an asshole.
...thanks for that.
Anytime.
Hehe love starting a riot
Was like a little kid this morning on XM 143. It was quite entertaining. Best quote was the fact they called it a "Tap-Tap"two in the head just to make sure he's dead". OK no more revelling in death from me anymore AFTER TODAY!
Dick Marcinko must be proud today, I'm suprised they even admitted they exist.
...of the raid inside OBL's compound.
Looks like hat CPAP machine was a casualty too. Moment of silence please.....love me some CPAP!
AMERICA, (fuck yeah)
Go Blue
Go Blue
Because if BO isn't > Osama then we're in serious trouble...
"I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."
A-hole! Osama go bye-bye :)
