You'd think that if OBL was the mastermind behind 9/11, then capturing him alive for interrogation would have been the primary objective. Instead we only have the US government's word they deliberately assassinated OBL with no interest in the intel that could have provided. I not saying OBL is alive or dead. Just that the story doesn't add up and I don't trust the US government to tell the truth.

Why would they give him a platform from which to preach Jihad in the inevitable trial?

And now that they are NOT using "extraordinary measures" in interrogation, it is doubtful he would confess to anything useful.....he's a fanatic. BTW, no torture is a GOOD thing.

He has not been operational commander for some time......and intel is more quickly and effectively gained from the computers etc seized from his residence.

AND if they had brought him out alive, you characters would be demanding he be released because he hadn't been informed of his rights, and his capture was a violation of international law.

Last, but not least, how could any decent human being be armed in the same room as bin Laden and NOT shoot him????

Oh, and forget your fantasies that there is some kind of conspiracy.....either bin Laden is not dead, or he has been for years, or he has been held at Roswell, or he is actually a woman, or whatever other brain-dead plot-of-the-week you guys come up with......

Sorry for your loss...

Well, ES, you are kind of posting hardcore American nationalist stuff when you know it's going to get a visceral reaction. And then flaming people who have that reaction.

Thanks for the link Colpy, it's kinda redundant though, we really didn't need to hear it from Al Qaeda, the Khadr's confirmed Bin Ladens death a couple of days ago on facebook. :)

I posted my one word question because I am mystified by all the hatred Canadians have for the United States.

Don't they realize that Canadian economy, therefore Canadian well-being is a straight function of American economy and well-being?

Don't they realize that Canadians are protected by the Armed Forces of the United States?

Don't they realize that most of the television shows they enjoy are made by Americans?

Don't they realize that most movies they enjoy were made by Americans?

Don't they realize that Canada's national sport, HOCKEY would have only minimal international exposure without Americans?

Don't they realize that most books they read were written/published by Americans?

Don't they realize that there are far worse enemies than America? Don't they even realize that America is NOT an enemy?

Did any of the Yankee-bashers live in the States? Did any of them ever know any Americans? Did any of them ever give a thought of being realistic and be grown up enough to realize that bashing and attempting to bring down others does NOT improve one's self-importance and/or one's inherent value?

Just asking.

I wouldn't sweat it, Y.J. As a frequent visitor to the U.S. over a 20 year period I can assure you they don't know what they are talking about, especially when it comes to the common everyday people. I defy anyone to find a race that is more helpful, friendly and generous. But having said that the "naysayers" should realize that most times what you see in a person is just a reflection of yourself.

That's some post, YJ. Getting into a whole lot of Canada - United States relations there. But it kind of takes away from the real issue at hand, which is ...

Man, I still can't believe Osama bin Laden outlived Michael Jackson.

Well that's reassuring... in a morbidly twisted kinda way.

Oh and this is also fun fun fun:

Although US forces buried Bin Laden's body at sea, the statement warned the US that "multiple gates of evil" would be opened on them if they failed to hand over the corpse to his family. It incited Muslims to take action should the Americans mistreat the body or any of his captive family members.

Boy oh boy, I can't wait for the sequel to 9/11.

9/12.

Canada has a lot of socialists, basically they are losers.
They like to stick up for other losers like Al quada, and of course the Muslims support this kind of nonsence.

Your correct in your statements tho !!
