Will it change anything? Is it actually true?

Alt: who would you like to see dead?

I'd say it's true.
I don't think the President would have done that speech unless he was very very certain about it.

At least it was under Obama's term that they got him
If it had been a few years earlier, can you imagine the speech?
"Mah fellow 'mercans,

On this day, as Pursident of the Yoonahted States of 'Merca, I am priveliged to report that...WE DONE GOT 'IM! YEEEEEHAW!

Awwwww, man, you shoulda done seen our boys out there! Them choppers went out to Pakkie-stan and they was all, like, 'BOOM! Chakachakachaka!'
and Bin Laden's all, like, 'OMG! Durka durka Jihad Muhammed!'
And our boys are, like, 'You're gonna hell, you motherfuckin' commie...'

GAWD BLESS AMER'CA!"

Or something like that.

Typical, isn't it? We have an event which gets global news coverage and the Americans just have to go one better!
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 2 May 2011, 9:38, Reply)

Is it true? Probably
but this whole "buried at sea" thing doesn't feel right. They know the world want to see proof. Saddams kids were stitched back together for the newspapers to see.

Will it change anything? Yes I expect global terrorism to disappear overnight. In my day terrorists were friendly irish rogues, with flat caps and bags of fertilizer. Oh and a lot more bombings happened in the UK and we didn't go out blowing up their leaders.

Who would I like to see dead? Mugabe.

"buried at sea"
that's not been confirmed. I wonder if they just found him dead of a heart attack or a stroke or something, and wanted to make it a military operation instead?

Although no harm in shooting up a corpse, really. And it might be better PR to have him "struck down by Allah" than murdered by yankee pig-dogs. So it is a bit baffling.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Mon 2 May 2011, 10:07, Reply)

Yeah I don't like the sea burial business, either.
I suspect they found proof that he'd been killed in a previous mission. Of course, this is nothing except wild theorising, but after a decade of chasing him around Afghanistan and Pakistan and all the various attacks he's made against them, wouldn't you want to brag a little?
( Kroney, Mon 2 May 2011, 10:18, Reply)

It makes perfect sense,
Muslims would want to be buried in the ground facing Mecca. Burying him at sea not only denies him that, but also stops any potential hostage situation demanding the body back etc.

Plus they possibly don't want an autopsy of the body done....who knows how much they kicked the shit out of him when they found him...
(The Oscillating Gibbon is eating curried squid, Mon 2 May 2011, 10:33, Reply)

But...
Denying him a 'proper' Muslim burial might also be seen as an insult by the sort of people who are likely to organise reprisals for his killing.

Although those people are probably going to organise reprisals anyway, so, as you rightly say, they have neatly sidestepped a possible hostage situation that way.
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 2 May 2011, 10:43, Reply)

Except the news is stating that the burial was done in accordance with Muslim tradition (or words to that effect).
Detail is sketchy, granted.

What an appalling song.
And he's been dead for years, in my opinion, and many others. Osama, not Dennis.
Kidney failure, in a Saudi hospital apparently.

It was like being at one long barbecue.
I'm going to have a quiet night in this evening. I have no desire for badly cooked meat products or warm lager.

Also, I need sleep.
