    Couldn't the SEALs dispatch him as well........:biggrin:

    As for Islam not being a warlike religion I guess the inhabitants of what was the then Sassanid Persian empire might beg to differ. They were already weakened by the wars between Heraclius and Chosroes and the remnants that managed to escape the Mohammedan jihad fled to places like China and found colonies in places along the west Indian coast.

    India a collection of princely kingdoms suffered terribly as well with millions killed or forcibly converted temples ransacked and razed to the ground.

    And similarly in the crumbling Asian portion of the Byzantine empire and then across North Africa with harsh impositions inc. special taxes and disbarring of non Muslims from official posts prompting more conversions.

    There have been exceptions with the Moorish kingdom in Spain and the Mughal emperor Akbar but for the most part and up to this day non Muslims have had it pretty tough in these countries.

    The problem is the religion itself. It has not undergone any reformation and the theocrats don't want it reformed.

    It would be a great day when these religions are dispensed with since as of now Buddhism/Jainism and to a degree Hinduism and Sikhism have been religions with a peaceful aspect as opposed to those derived from the Book.

    This won't make a martyr out of him at all and killing everyone is really tackling the problems with fundamentalism in the middle east.

    You have to say these Seals are unbelievable. Hitherto I've only seen them balancing balls on their noses or making 'honk honk' noises. This escapade is a mahusive leap forwards.

    The orignal codename for the operation was " Free Willy" , but they changed it to the seals. They thought that sight of a few Orcas would be a bit suspicious.

    Who will they give the money to? Not the Seals I hope they'll just spend it on clubbing, and we all know what happens when clubbing and seals come together.

    If you watch Osama Bin Laden's life backwards, it's about an ocean zombie who builds skyscrapers out of airplanes.












    (Yes, I know there's a fault with this.)

    Having seen the results of what bullets can do to a face and skull it is better these images are not released. I doubt anything may be recognisable at all.

    In any case the scum have said they have lost the bin liner.

    One thing I fail to understand is how Obama is getting kudos from this. Surely it must go to the intelligence services and actual soldiers who undertook the raid.

    All he had to do was okay it. As if he wasn't going to. Seems uncomfortably like Bush II trying to make political capital post 9/11 at a difficult time in his presidency after failing to drag the US to recovery and ballsing things up like the Gulf oil spill.

    Elvis is very popular in Pakistan , so they are turning the area outside of Bin Laden's secret hideway into a Graceland.

    There are also plans for Disney to expand into Pakistan with a new theme park which is being planned by the US Government, the idea is to capture Bin Laden alive.

    Congress are to give the all clear next week.
