Bye bye Bin Laden...

[armybloke]

I can't comment only to say that it is quite unusual to do a Bin collection on a bank holiday :lol:

Has Osama Bin Laden been dead for seven years - and are the U.S. and Britain covering it up to continue war on terror? | Mail Online

Guys, he IS dead. If he wasn't he be giving in large all over Al Jazeera. He was only a figurehead anyway, we effectively closed him down years ago. As a symbolic victory it is a great thing for the USA, they are much more 'at war' than we are. I'm sure if AQ had killed 3,000 people in the UK ten years ago, we'd be dancing in Trafalgar Square at the news of his death.

Good riddance and good luck getting the next one....

All in good time arbogrunt. As I have stated before this war against the US and it's allies will be multi generational. Protect your self and your family/property. Pay back will be coming and since the enemy will not surrender a lot more of the bad guys will be at room temp.

I doubt we would be dancing in the streets to be honest and even so - I don't see how getting him has solved anything, pumping it out in the Media as much as the US and the UK are too is just fanning the flames of Extremism while benefiting politicians like Obama whose opinion polls were through the floor they were so low, now hes Captain America as the '' Man who got Bin Laden '' - no different to Maggie Thatcher in the 80's, she was detested then the Falklands happened and her popularity soared.

 

It's far from a Victory when were meant to be more civilised than these Barbaric acts of Terrorism by celebrating the death of a human being - all that does is confirm their Holy War and make us look like a blood thirsty society and to be honest how do you expect to defeat an ideology by saying were better than they are when in fact we just behave as badly if not worse. Were meant to be setting the example aren't we ?

 

My own view is.. job done, still a job to do be done so let's crack on with it and forget the Media frenzy or even jeering along.

Apparently the Irish SAS joined in the US assault over the weekend.

They stormed Debenhams after hearing Summer Bed Linen was on the third floor!
