    Good News
    but what next!!!
    Heard on the news that there is a nuclear weapon (old soviet era ones have apparently 'gone missing' in the past) buried in Europe somewhere that Al-Queida representatives mentioned recently that would be detonated if/when Osama was killed.
    I sincerely hope this is conjecture not fact

    Not trying to be morbid but this is a critical element.
    So what does the US do with the remains?? The muslims are quite particular about unclean infidels touching their remains. Cant just discard it like a rag,cant display the rotting corpse on tv or towed behind a humvee through the streets, cant feed it to the pigs, that would really inflame the muslim world. Lets see, a state funeral / military funeral with honors?? Not. Bury it in a cemetery anywhere and it becomes jihad central. So probably like Hitler, it just goes away??

    I heard a burial at sea was mentioned on the news
    maybe untrue but possible, no jihad central as you eloquently put it

    Flame me if you must but Osama Bin Laden was a great man in his own way. He had talent, genius and a flair for organizing complex operations across a broad spectrum of operational doctrines. Too bad he was basically a sicko twisted fanatical extremist jihadist and a mass murderer. The world has many examples of evil geniuses, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Khadafi, Hussein, the list can be endless. Im not a supporter of murder/terrorism (i actually earned my global war on terrorism medal) but to his people he truly was a muslim version of Robin Hood. In some circles he will be greatly missed and become a martyr, others will revile him as repugnant/evil etc. Someone somewhere has had his children and his immediate family will have to cope with his loss in their own way. He dosnt deserve to RIP but I cant sentence him to RIH either. So goodby and good riddance.. and hopefully the world will find a better way to solve it's problems.

    Box him up and FedEx his body back to Islamabad. They apparently liked keeping him there...

    I see MSNBC news spells it with an O Osama

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/


    And FOX news spells it with a U Usama

    Who’s right?
