Topic: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

http://www.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=stream1&hpt=C1

Right now they don't have an actual story up. Just live video. I will get the link to the story once they put it up. Kind of surreal.


Edit:

Now with a text article.

Meh. We all know Fox News is horrible with their headlines. They may correct it later. Probably not tho.

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

CNN was just showing a live shot of Washington DC. They were out in the streets singing the national anthem. Seriously, this is kinda weird.

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

The transliteration of Arabic characters to a Latin-based alphabet is not 1:1, as it is with Cyrillic and other alphabets, so both Usama and Osama are technically correct in their own right. Just as there are multiple spellings of Mohammed.

That being said, I was surprised by this news. I was convinced he was a smear on the wall of an Afghan cave 9 years ago. Nevertheless, I don't see how this news changes anything. Furthermore, I will be interested to see how this affects Obama's approval ratings, in spite of the fact he had [very toned abs, although with regards to the political issue we were discussing, nothing to do at] all to do with tracking him down except for approving the action that lead to his demise. His little speech suffered from over-preparation, and I am certain he has overstated his role in this so-called pivotal event in the alleged War on Terror.

I did find it curious that he acknowledged the ~3000 dead as a direct result of 9/11, yet failed to mention the countless lives lost since in the subsequent wars that we are still fighting.

Whatever, what can Americans honestly expect from Capitol Hill other than more of the same?

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

sooo apparently the ISI in Pakistan was helping Bin laden out...


there is no way this [stupid waffle] could've hidden in a suburb of Islamabad without being noticed by the government...


note, there is no way to confirm that, but it is my strong opinion.

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

which makes sense, at the time they started out they had very little assets to go with (infiltrants, goodwill,...) so it had to all built up

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

Anyone actually believe they buried his body at sea? I'd lean towards they either brought it back to the USA and/or they incinerated it. There's no way they would leave any chance some fanatic could find the body and make some kind of shrine thing. Will have to wait and see if the mansion they got him in turns into something meaningful for terrorist/alquada people

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

I think Pakistan has enough pakistanis in USA to explain this

"Oh yeah, we knew he was there.  Like Michael Corleone said, keep your friends close but your enemies closer."

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

seems like he's far less popular as he was at 9/11. Combined with the current tendency towards democracy/liberty that brings some hope for the future for many states where Islam is the main religion. I'm not optimistic, but at least not pesimistic anymore.

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

So after 10 years of fanatical searching to bring him to justice, the first thing they do is shoot him and then immeadiately after throw the body into "some sea, somewhere".

I would have expected his corpse dragged through the streets of Washington behind a vintage chariot. But perhaps they're waiting to twin it up with those WMD's they're still looking for.
