Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

Usama or Osama, it's both just a phonetic spelling of the man's name, wich is an arabic one and can thus only have an official writing in their writing.
Islam's profet's name has several different spellings depending on the language: Mohammed (dutch), mahomed (french) or Muhammad (English) and so on..

God: Behold ye angels, I have created the ass.. Throughout the ages to come men and women shall grab hold of these and shout my name...

"Arabic names won't go into English, exactly, for their consonants are not the same as ours, and their vowels, like ours, vary from district to district.  There are some "scientific systems" of transliteration, helpful to people who know enough Arabic not to need helping, but a wash-out for the world.  I spell my names anyhow, to show what rot the systems are."  - Lawrence of Arabia

Brits saw "The Godfather" and copied the wedding scene

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

Can't believe it took a decade and a few trillion just to kill one man. See, that's why I like American politics.

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

Nemeara, most likely he had his second term in the bag before this recent development. Also, I'm not sure how this will change anything. It's really surreal.

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

true Esa.

and republicans are already discrediting Obama on this major milestone.

I am getting a sense that if it were Bush, Sean Hannity would be running through the halls of Fox News screaming with joy... instead he basically belittled the accomplishment as "media hype" lol.....


never under estimate the stupidity of Americans in large groups...

Oh yeah, I am getting a bottle of wine now!


Now if I could only find out how to make sure a keg got to the SEAL team that got the shot off.... I would so mail it...

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Unfortunately, the Republicans don't really have a candidate that can take Obama on. It's going to be an interesting election year.

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

In obama's speech they did say that they did in fact take his body. Unless they shot em in the face a few dozen times I'm sure they will indeed he able to confirm that it is him.

I'm just waiting to see what kind of repercussions there will be; like Obama said he took one head off the hydra there will be many more ready and willing to take his place at a moments notice. There's always going to be another hitler, Stalin, Lenin or some other fascist dictator waiting to gain power.

What if thy just got osama's identitcle cousin. After all they all do look rather similar; it's the beard, it can hide alot of the facial features.

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

obama chose to take a more dangerous couse of action, he chose to send in the navy seals on a stealth mision instead of sendig a predato bomber. more dangerous in terms of sucess but safer for our rocky relations with pakistan.

You can never win a war without ground forces. Bombers and Missiles only go so far. They should have used seal teams back when they were first after him. Pop his head from a mile away and pack up for home... tongue

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

I read that USA didn't inform their allies untill the operation was finished.

Apart from it being embarrassing for Pakistan that bin Laden on their territory, shouldn't the USA have needed some permission to do that operation? I can imagine if he was hiding in Paris, Sarkozy wouldn't been too happy with US marines suddenly blasting ammo all over the Champs Elys

Re: CNN Reporting Osama Bin Laden is dead.

I would assume most of the people wouldn't care when you consider it was Osama that was killed... And you're not going to tell people in the country thats been harboring him for up to 5 years (or so i've heard) that your going to send a team in to take him out. Absolute secrecy means absolute. That'd be like the catcher telling the batter what kind of pitch is coming
