FFL2and3rocks: I heard it from a TV in another room and did a double take.
That is so appropriate with Earl Sinclair as an avatar.

Krypsyn: Meh, I am underwhelmed. Sure, I am glad he is out of the picture, but it just seems about 8 years too late. He was at best a figurehead for Al Qaeda; I don't think he has been in charge of planning anything for the last half dozen years. I suppose the best part is that he was killed in Pakistan, proving that they HAVE been protecting him (whether on purpose or not) by impeding our patrols in their country for so long.

The word now is that it was a ground operation with gun fire. There were bombs involved, but apparently that isn't what did him in. The squad that nailed him all deserve medals, imho....

drmlessgames: It is a symoblic event, nothing more. Wasnt it a predator drone that got him?
It was a special operations team apparently, according to Obama's speech.

Dammit, nobody say Chuck Norris.

Bet they were told not to get him alive under any circumstances. Having him speak out in an international court would have been very interesting.

quite possibly. I'm sure it would be a much larger headache to deal with if he was captured (for the US gov. and military mostly).

Yeah, he would've mentioned his dealings with the cia back when george h bush was the chief and they were strategic allies.

The US has a few. I would assume it would be MARSOC but I want to be certain. Keep your eyes open, I'll probably open a gift thread after this.

Yeah, probably. Though I don't actually remember anything important coming out of the trial of Saddam Hussein, and we totally supported him forever. It isn't like this stuff isn't known to people who care.

Saddam should have been tried in an international court, not quickly in a small court in a rushed effort, but the usa didnt want that, because he would have said a lot of back when he was best friends with the USA. All these foes were one time best allies.
Idiots. They killed a double. Didnt you play cod?
