I was waiting for the punchline but sure enough

BBC News - Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden dead - Barack Obama

Call me cynical but I read Bin Laden was reckoned to be dead due to illness some time ago and Obama is in need of a popularity boost.

this is great news but the question is how come it took so long to get him and why didnt the pakistani's know he was there ?

Morning! Really? Another day full of news then...

They say they've got the body, so all the rumours that he died years ago must have been false. Good bit of news, there's still a big network of terrorists that need breaking up though, he has/had a lot of followers.

great news. i hope they show pictures of him so we know it's true. he's been buried at sea already

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Good news, but I do wonder how much of a coincidence this is. Obama was down in Alabama making all the right noises after the tornadoes.

Maybe I am cynical too. This will not end the threat, but more likely increase the number of terrorists being recruited by these fanatics.

So Osama Bin Laden is Dead?? He was caught by surprise..... He didn`t think that they collected "Bins" on a Bank Holiday Monday

The news are full of it, and something just feels like some movie ... weird .... DNA tests and facial matching and Islamic burial all in one day.. if it was a movie it would be called far fetched..?

I've given up believing anything I hear on the news. If it's true, great. If not, well I'm not surprised.

Don't think it makes the slightest bit of difference......

 

[Ian]

I agree Stewart. There will be 1000 more loonies ready to fill his shoes, if anything this will make the terror threat worse.

 

[Dan]

I'm sort of with Liz. If it's true, fair play, if it aint, I too aint surprised.

There will be more though.

Don't think it makes the slightest bit of difference......

killing him may not stop terrorism but people have to stand up to these cowardly murderers and bring them to justice. death is too easy for these low lifes
