But they are muslim fundamentalists, are they not?
Unless you have some sort of top clearance, that cannot be determinded at the moment. I agree that it is t he most likely thing. But it is only an assumption.

What do you propose then? that countries and governments just roll over and ignore mass terror attacks on their soil? eventually somebody will have to step up and do the dirty work. we can't all be Spain.

No official sources, as the area has been sealed off and press is not allowed in to verify anything. Just rumours and "eye witness accounts" from earlier.

Even if it was Blackhawk or any other military chopper, there would be a reason for it going down and also how could US and Pakistan both claim to lose a helicopter when, only 1 chopper went down?!

Obama thanking Pakistan for "its support and cooperation" in the operation whereas Pakistan Foreign Office stating they did not take part in the Operation.

Not saying whats true, but just the contradictions and confusing accounts.

No - but justifying it on the basis that "this is the guy behind 9/11" is like the boy who cried wolf - they can't all have done it...

. Taliban are not muslim, therefore Osama isn't also a muslim.

So why should he deserve a burrying in islamic tradition?

No no wait, you mean to report that Bin Laden offered no resistance to capture but still was executed without a fair trial by some maverick navy SEAL.

No, believe me on this, they are NOTHING of muslim! They can call themselve what ever they want, but the reality is that this is not what Islam is... Not even when taking in the most radical, fundamatalism, extreme way... Nothing come close to that.

For the rest, of course I can't determined anything, this is why I said it was my two cents!

Well on the account that there are no official sources, yet you very easily pointed out that it was an Apache, you're in some sort of conundrum.

You can say that 1 helicopter went down, and it was disabled as per SOP. regarding the american info, and 1 "apache" regarding the pakistani.
Although for me, first reports from pakistani and indian news are always highly suspect.

He was born as muslim no? I didn't see his birth certificate....

Illegally murdered = more than 3,000 innocent people on 9/11.

I think it is a great day! The guy was evil, regardless of whether his claim of responsibility was legitimate or not.

I guess that's just my boring ol' pro-American sentiment showing.

caaaannn't we alllllll just get aloooooooong?

Not that I think that it is worth to get too involved with answering your generalizations but...
Village Idiot? He was smart enough to convince millions of people to vote, not once, but twice to stay in power over the US for 8 years, so he's no common fool.
I am going to skip your 2nd two points because you just outlined the parameters of any standing military force on the planet.
And I am so sick of this moronic response to the war in Iraq that it was over oil. I mean cause some one told you that, or you have NO other ideas. Any idea how much this war has costed? Want to take a guess? Any crazy number will do.
If you factor that in to what we already pay for oil, you would see barrels selling for a few hundred dollars ALTEAST. Amongst the many possible reasons we did go to war with Iraq, oil was not one of them.

But if you have forgotten to exploit the idea of the peace loving, non gassing his own people, philanthropist Saddam Hussein was go right ahead I am waiting.
Did you say Opium as a reason we went to war? Seriously, why did I even answer any of that?
Bush is not a terrorist. Not by definition and not any means possible. He is like any other head of state, some of the most peaceful have ordered out their armies in the idea some one be killed, or to capture someone resulting...See Bin Laden this morning's news for example.

I would say that the Taleban (edit: and Al Qaeda) are about as Muslim as the Westboro Baptist Church are Christian.

i.e. not very

Osama wasn't in the Taliban...Al Queda...ever heard of them?

There are some muslims that regard Osama as a holy warrior and holy man same as some regard Bush and Blair to be the same.
Let's not forget that both, Bush and Blair, claimed to have had some kind of "divine" call to wage a war against Iraq and Afghanistan.
Those people are brain washed or they do not possess a thinking sense at all.

Clearly the death of Osama isn't bringing peace to the English Forum.

ROFL what is this "illegally murdered" malarkey? Are we talking about the law of Pakistan? Or must we ramble about "international law" again (it doesn't exist folks). They saw the guy running a good proportion of the terrorism in the world, found they had a clear shot and took it. I think we all have to be particularly evasive and disingenuous to see anything else in the situation.

It's more fun this way

Whatever way you cut it, they're all crazy religious fu€ks.

Not as big a massacre as 'the war on terror'

what's your point?

Taliban & Alqaeda were sleeping together, it's the same pot of BS.
