How then would you have handled this situation?


Thanks for asking.

I would have taken him alive (assuming he was still alive).

I would have taken him alive, announced that the FBI's most wanted man is in custody and then shown images of his arrest. I would then ensure that the man had a far trial, collected evidence and then used his evidence as a means of conducting similar raids to find out who his associates were (whether they be America, Saudi or otherwise).

Sadly, I think the US government just wanted to silence him, as he probably had several cans of worms ready to be opened..

A fair trial would ensure that the reputation of my Government would not be tarnished at the expense of appeasing a hooting, baying mob of mouth breathers.


There are many of us who would accept a fair trial for him. But on the other hand, what do you do when the Jihadists demand that he be released and if he's not, then they will attack? They WANT to make him a martyr. I don't think it's in our best interest to make him one. I think that is why they/we supposedly dropped him into the sea, so as not to allow his people to recover his body and rally around it. Have you seen what those guys do when one of their leaders body is paraded through the streets? It's a bottle of violence and retribution waiting to be lit on fire. No matter what comes of this situation, one thing will always be....and that is that they want our blood no Osama or not.

....btw, you never gave an explanation of what you would do with OBL if he were tried and convicted. What would you do then?

war isn't restricted to between countries.



No you're right... I see this very thing often in the US.


War on Terror....

War on Drugs....

War on Crime....

War on Poverty....


So why not War on Radical Islam...


It's a ****ing IDEOLOGY!!!

You can't wage war on an idea.... you can't KILL a mentality...

FFS...




Anyway you enjoy yourselves.

Bin Laden was responsible for 9/11 and now he's dead, shot unarmed... YAY... no trial, body disposed of, a story with more holes than Swiss cheese and no comeback because the Good guys did it...
