Statement from the family of Osama Bin Laden

[misconfig]

I'm not convinced that a trial would be needed or justified. He's a worldwide known, self-acknowledged terrorist, essentially a militant outlaw. A trial would be a formality, at the very best. However, given that we've engaged in military action against him and his organization, that well removes him from criminal status, and with that he loses all expectations of a trial.

And the comparison to Nazis doesn't hold at all. Trials were given for captured Nazis, not those that we killed in the course of the war. The decision to kill instead of risk capturing isn't one that I have a real problem with. He supposedly resisted anyway. I honestly have far more of an issue with us holding prisoners in military prisons with no charges, evidence, or trials than I would ever have with us killing the leader of a terrorist organization.

I don't see how anything that transpired about the killing itself is in any way a negative reflection of Western ethics.

He's world-known terrorist because the media portrays the BS story and people believe this rhetoric. Just because it's on the talky box, doesn't mean it's the truth.

Once again, the only argument people have to pose is what they read in the media, therefore I digress from the topic.

What I'd like to know is, who died and made us the police of the world?

I would say the reason he was killed opposed to being brought to a trial is a trial, especially in the United States, would complicate things quite a bit. We would have the most wanted terrorist in the United States that would prompt attacks on our country. I personally believe one of the big reasons we are in this war is to bring the fight to the middle east so it is not here in our homeland. Bringing OBL here to the United States for a trial could bring it to the homeland.

Just because you kill a man doesn't always mean the ideology he embraced dies with him. If you agree he is dead, then I just can't understand what you are talking about? So, everything was pretend, except for the death? To what end? What am I missing?

Its possible that OBL was not behind 9/11. Evidence is weak to support it. Weren't we told that he was making videos confessing to the West about it? Where are they? What gives? I thought Osama wanted credit for his accomplishments...???

Bin Laden says he wasn't behind attacks - CNN

"The U.S. government has consistently blamed me for being behind every occasion its enemies attack it. I would like to assure the world that I did not plan the recent attacks, which seems to have been planned by people for personal reasons," bin Laden's statement said.

Oh so Osama wasn't gloating about 9/11 after all? Should we just believe the U.S. Government then...? The same evil government who planned Operation Northwoods (declassified), which involved performing false-flag terror attacks on American cities in order to give the U.S. an excuse to wage war with Cuba. Yeah... our government planned attacks on its own people. Those sick ****s would do it again.

It is possible that Osama Bin Laden was just the boogeyman that the U.S. Government has used to wage war on the Middle East. The public's anger over 9/11 gives them all the excuse they need to fulfill all their warmongering fantasies.

Admission to a crime is usually pretty good proof.

Do you speak Arabic? Are you able to distinguish these "admissions" are not fabricated? Can you prove it is even Osama in the first place making these statements?

Have you ever noticed now much Osama has changed in these video's over the years?

Sorry dude, still not buying it.

So his Descendants are claiming that what transpired against their Father was a Crime...
Maybe they should go talk with their Grandfather and Uncles...

I really dislike having to agree with rambone (), but this does seem very plausible. We always need a bad-guy, and this one worked perfectly for years and years....

 

[Pocketman]

Proof? Was not the junior wife a witness? These family people are just looking for some notoriety and most likely cash for the lawyer. Their complaining also helps fan the hatred toward the U.S..

This was not the perfect execution (no pun intenended) of a snatch and grab operation. In hind sight, a few things may have been conducted differently. Bottom line, OBL is gone and the world is better off. Let's all learn from the experience and move on.

Not to mention, now that he is allegedly dead, shouldn't the war on terror be complete? Instead of fueling the fire for more conquest?

If he is dead by US hands, I would be OK with that as long as the war didn't continue to other nations like it is now.

Also, keep a sharp eye open for "terror alerts" NY is making it mandatory for all cell phones to get updates from big brother. The TSA is coming to train stations and ports as well.

Saw the news about the U.S Coast guard and "security holes". Now that he is dead they want to kill us ever more apparently.

Makes me wonder what the point of this entire hide and seek game was really about.

As yes, I would say it wasn't textbook either. 24 unarmed men dead, 1 innocent woman DEAD.

During that very weekend, we bombed Gadaffi's house, killed his 3 grandchildren and a son. We are such a just christian nation

EVERYONE BOW TO THE US OR ELSE DIE!!!

EVERYONE IN THE US BOW TO BIG BROTHER OR BE PERSECUTED!!!

Wouldn't OBL be the most valuable person to capture, ever?? Why would they kill him? Wouldn't they want to go waterboard him and find out his master-plan for causing all the world's problems? The U.S. Government fails, even their stupid fabricated stories describe idiot decisions.

 

[rjstew317]

personally, I don't give 2 about anyone in the middle east. that entire region has been in turmoil for it's entire existence, and if America were to fall tomorrow they would find a new enemy to go after.

they have been killing each other with swords for 2000 years (or longer), and 2000 years from now they will still be killing each other, unless of course, someone turns the place into a sheet of glass

flame on.................

I do not know if he is really dead or not. I do not beleive anything that any of our elected officials tell me to believe. He might be dead. He might still be alive, captured and spilling his guts on his buddies in trade for protection. I do not want him in this country on trial for crimes against humanity. That useful idiot Eric Holder would botch it up one way or another. I thought that we did find much evidence of WMDs in Iraq. We had credible witnesses that all of the mobile labs and other facilities were flown and trucked to Syria for safe-keeping during the time we were stupidly giving Saddam a countdown regarding our invasion. I never understood why Bush never tried to publicize this more. Conveniently, no one ever seems to remember when bashing Bush that WMDs was only a small part of the justification for invading Iraq. Obummer is proving that he is no better than Bush now that he is discovering the realities of the situation. I would like to know just how much the sea burial of that dirtbag or whatever was supposedly dropped over the side of the ship cost us taxpayers.

one man doesn't make or break a war. if the POTUS were killed in war would you surrender to the enemy? my guess is not, i know i would continue to fight.

Sounds like they are quoting a video? Is this video public or was it disposed of in the ocean? Surely it must be on Youtube. I am honestly curious.

It is also very curious that OBL issued statements saying 2 exactly opposite things.

because I don't care about a bunch of people in a far of land that would rather behead me then be my friend?

Continue to fight what? Is there a real definition of "terrorists" NO, this means the war is never-ending. This war is doing nothing but killing innocent people every day, how do people sleep at night with these sickening ideologies?

We are all people, why can't we just get along? Another reason why religion does nothing but poison the hearts and minds of men.

 

[Baditude]

They should have dumped his body in a pit of pig guts / blood and video taped the whole thing. Then tell all the extreme Muslims if you *&^% with the usa not only will we kill you, we will keep you from entering your perceived heaven.

So are soldiers that are at war are in danger? Of course they are, we are at war!

OBL took credit for 9/11 and many other terrorist attacks

would you rather have us all gather around the campfire and sing kumbaya?
