The USA has been flying armed drones into Pakistan for many years and killing "suspects" without Pakistans permission....

my opinion is . if he was in pakistan and the americans had the technology to get him , and they did , than well done , contries harbouring worlds most wanted man , shows stupidity , and america got him , if they did , good on em .
i dont think this should be glorified though . it should be put to bed . pakistan and the east should now . accept , that justice has been done .
it would be a foolish move , to cause termoil for the west . they cant even keep peace with thier own govts , or each other .
i am not sure about facts or conspiricies . but one thing i am certain , dont mess with world leaders.

As someone said on another forum the people who want to believe he's alive will still think he is. The people who want to believe he is dead will. All of this was achieved by throwing him off a boat in the middle of the ocean.

Personally I think he is dead. I think it would be far too hard to cover up and a major embarrassment of epic proportion if he was spotted alive.

This is purely my opinion, and I am not preaching it but:

1. I personally think he is dead too, but dead from his health issues in 2002.
2. I think Obama wants another war, preferably Pakistan.
3. The announcement of OBL's death was a political move as Obama's popularity was at an all time low amid the upcoming new election.
4. The announcement death of OBL took the heat off Obama's birth certificate issues.
5. The thoughts of Obama's push on a New World Order springs to mind.

Call me a conspiracy theorist or not, these are just my thoughts based on what I have read and heard, and no I do not have hard evidence to back them up. Im just a skeptic.

Yep, my thoughts also, plus he wants the troops kept over there and he (Obama) has already spent their entitlements keeping the country 'afloat' and doesn't want any of them causing some kind of 'revolt' against him because of it.

Again, only what I have heard.

Americans have lost so much credibility in the last few years that the entire global community treats everything announced by them as pure fiction.

It's disturbing to see the massive crowds in America rejoicing over the fact that their government illegally entered another country and assasinated a number of people on the justification that it was to get Osama Bin laden.

State sponsored murder...no trial, just summary execution.

I would be ashamed to be American, I was ashamed when our Australian Prime Minister rolled over for Bush in invading Iraq and murdering thousands of people for nothing.

So much propoganda in America and the only people who can't see it is the Americans themselves.

Any rational person would be asking themselves..
"What did we do to these people to make them want to fly big planes into our skyscrapers?"

Instead all they did was drop bombs all over the middle east and just make even more hatred against them...on a religous scale.

Now we all have to put up with stupid checks at airports and be fingerprinted in customs queues...all due to disrespect for other cultures and their mineralogical wealth.

But dont forget who actually started it all., previous administration, who gave the USA the worst reputation in decades... but he has announced that he will start a withdrawl of troops in afghanistan finally.

Very dangerous link.

I expect this mans mental health has deteriorated since his service, and I'd expect the radio host to come to that realization, eventually.

Odd though, that Binnie, in the CIA released video - is viewing an old small CRT TV. Also not hard to determine what satellite his white dish was aligned, and whether the LNB was both TX and RX, or simply RX.

Its a good thing he is dead, I bet the government of Pakistan was hiding him for all these years, his compound was about 750 meters from an army base. America should cut the $3BN worth of aid they give to Pakistan every year, maybe that will make them shut up and stop their complaining.

All these people worred about this will cause revenge attacks, let them attack us, gives us an excuse to invade then doesn't it? They hate the "western world" and the ideology of us all together, you can't "just get along" with people like that.

At least the western world doesn't fly planes into buildings, killing nearly 3000 innocent men, women and children. We also don't descriminate against ethnic groups of people (example Hazara's) to the point of massacre like the Taliban did/does.

No they just drop bombs on them instead, and the yanks have killed far more women and children in Afghanistan and Iraq than the bombings in New York.

Your attitude sounds a little racist, I'm not sure whether you mean it or not though, but in a way we have discriminated against them by invading and bombing them.

Thats the go, create a power vacuum in another Middle Eastern nation to be filled by radicals, but this time a nation with nukes.

If ever there was need for a war and control of a nation based on WMD, its Pakistan. Im not saying the US should invade, what Im saying is theres no benefit, but sure is a massive risk, to just slamming the door in their faces.

They wouldn't be dropping bombs on them if they didn't hit those two towers in the first place.

Just like how Palestinians cried to everyone about Israel bombing the crap out of them, after they rocketed an Israeli school in the middle of a "cease fire".

So your saying that they oppose multiculturalism???

Damo a few years after 911 Condi Rise said to the world that the USE would reveal the evidence they had that Osama was the mastermind... i do believe we are still waiting... much like those pesky WMDs.

This from the same mob who forced japan into WW2 to start a war,
invaded Korea to stop those commies,
invaded Vietnam (again those pesky commies!) and later proven that the justification for war with them false,
same country who wanted to invade cuba (more commies),
who trained Osama to fight those pesky commies in Afghanistan in the 1980s despite the USSR being asked by the Afghan government to help them fight the rebels (ie it was a legitimate war)
and who funded and armed IRAQ with chemical weapon technology and then invaded IRAQ to grab its oil assests?
Not to mention Iran-Contra affair.....
Shot down an Iranian airliner in international airspace, while the US ship which fired the missile in Iranian territorial waters? (an act of war in any mans language)...

This from just of the top of my head.... and you believe what the US Government says????

They wouldn't have turned to Terror if the US just stayed out of everybodys business instead of being the world police, somethings are better left alone but the yanks are just to trigger happy. Remember there are plenty of Wars/situations the yanks should of stayed out of.

Yep, all perpetuated under the guise of the 'safety' of a nation, to cover up the fact it was simply greed...
