Bye bye osama

I know this is not about bikes, but I think it might be thread worthy.

American seals landed in a compound in Pakistan, and after a fire fight Osama was shot at least once in the head. The team then secured the body and it is in American custody.
 
They did not keep any proof?

10 years to find him? A person writes a hot check and they find him in a week.:eek:
 
The most expensive manhunt in history. We've spent $7 Trillion in the past 10 years chasing this lunatic.

I have never seen a bigger headline in the paper. The problem is that his infamy will motivate another jacka$$ to do the same. I'm glad he's gone, but I am not sure this cycle will end. I hope it does, but...
 
Hanging with Posiedon now after DNA tests confirm ID.

Blows a real hole in the Gitmo closing dream doesn't it? All this intel came from KSM after a "session" last August. Also shows asking permission for ops is BS too. Undoubtably he would have been tipped off, living 100 yrds from a Paki miiitary training center in a mostly military town/area. Thats what happened when Clinton's attempt failed.

Well said. I'm sure someone else from that region will pick up the slack. Sure would like to thank the seal that pulled the trigger on that steamin' pile,can you imagine being "that" guy? Too bad it took the USA 10 years to "seal the deal".
 
I'm not sure what is going on here...Some news channels have it listed as "Osama" and some "Usama". Which is it? Is it supposed to be the same guy? Hmm... DNA in one day... then they throw the body overboard.... I want pics!! :p

I think the celebrating is fine but I am getting that "waiting for the other shoe to drop" feeling.

What is this going to do to the price of gas? Will it go down, or will it go up as the wall street wackos buy into the illusion that this may move the middle east into more unrest and use it as an excuse to raise the price of oil AGAIN?
 
I don't think so. Remember when Sadam's sons got shot up in a similar close quarters fire fight situation? Took a week or so for those pics to come out, and you couldn't even recognize them. I don't think this will be any different, with a chunk of his head blown away and also the fact that all the pics you are familiar with are at least ten years old. All you know for sure is he was very tall. Have you seen pics of many head shot victims? I used to wreck dive with city cop that would show me a lot of crime scene pics like this, suicides, etc. If you think that will be proof to the average joe think again.

As far as the spelling they have been doing that since 9/11, maybe its spelled both ways?. All I know is the guy in the Dunkin' Donuts where I stop for coffee has "Osama" on his name badge.
 
How did they get a DNA tests done in the same day?? I reckon he might had been on ice for a while if it was him. I hope it was though.

The DNA was from a match with his sisters who died in the US a few years ago.

I have to admit, that I was very surprised that Obama had the balls to give the orders to kill him.

Hopefully all the info they get from the computers and documents they found will lead to more of the rats that supported him will find their number will be up soon. I understand that they took a few prisoners. Hopefully they give up the info in their "sessions" at Gitmo.

Good for the SEALS for getting in and out with no causalties.
