"I find myself kind of sad that Osama Bin Laden is dead. I have fantasized about killing him almost as much as zombies... I will have to find a replacement." - Strikeforce's Tim Kennedy via his Facebook page. (HT: MMA Mania)

There’s always gas executives
They made a video game about Yakuzas. It’s called Yakuza. And it’s about Yakuza

Considering his other profession, I don't find this weird at all.

The fact that he's going to have to find a replacement....
…How does one even begin that selection process? I mean is there an app for that?
No worries
He might still be alive.

Zombie Osama bin Laden should still work, right?

But can zombies swim?!
Much less out of the northern Arabian Sea?!
i dont know how serious his comment is
but it sounds pretty narcissistic to be the ONE. lets just be happy the team won.
Ehhh, he's since ETS'd from "active" Army
So no complaints here, and he’s just remarking on “I wasn’t the shooter.”
At least he didn’t do any Army vs. Navy cracks (not least because Army was probably providing the rides).
Come at me, bro.

He can always play SOCOM 4 or old-school SOCOM 2.
If he wants to take out some Terrorist.

Its funny how little effect killing Osama will have
It might even have a negative effect now that he’s a martyr for their cause. Osama hasn’t been the leader of Al Quada’s for years and there isn’t any actual leaders over Al Quada as they consist of smaller independent cells. I get that Americans want revenge and all that, but maybe it would have been better to try extract information from him so that it would aid in the war against Terror

Screw the effect
Just happy he’s dead (for sure).
The guy deserved to die but you have to understand, Osama didn't plan 9'11 or do the deed
he payed for the guys training and it was his funds that the cell used to perform the attack. Al Qaeda is made up by many different independent cells. With some isolated and on their own. What makes them Al Qaeda i the training and agenda. Osama did create Al Qaeda with the help of C.I.A and is responsible for the Talibans reign of terror in Afganistan

Never underestimate the power of the image
For America, we took out our #1 bad guy. Sure, it took 9 years too long, but our armed services took him out. He didn’t die in his sleep, or at the hands of a rival. The U.S. got him. That’s a catharsis a lot of people in this nation have looked forward to.

You are completely right!
thats the thing, Bush needed a #1 bad guy so he could attack Afghanistan. A personified evil for the good guys to defeat. My point is that maybe they could have gotten something out of him through months of “interrogation” so they could catch the “real Al Qaeda” the real masterminds behind 9’11. Cuz Osama wasn’t that. Osama was an spoiled oil prince that have been living his whole life in luxury that got brainwashed by extremist in to believing in their cause and provide funding. He lived good even as fugitive. A couple of month with a car battery and he would spill the beans ;)
by Mohammedini Hussein on May 2, 2011 7:13 PM EDT up reply actions
Perhaps, but to further the point you made up above, he doesn’t have a whole lot of beans to spill at this point. He’s been to a large extent, out of the loop, as there are now loops upon loops and no focused, unified organization. So while I don’t think this does a lot of practical good, psychological good in an insurgency/guerrila style conflict is HUGE. There will be some backlash, but I think less than there might be if the spectacle of Osama bin Laden in our custody were to play out for years on end. It’s a psychological lift for us, and his death, IMO, will do little long term to inspire acts of revenge. If Osama is just a symbol, we just killed their flag.
What's this war in the heart of nature? Why does nature vie with itself? The land contend with the sea? Is there an avenging power in nature? Not one power, but two?

From what's been reported, his being out of the loop so much actually helped lock his position in
“Why is there no Internet or phone service to one of the biggest estates in this neighborhood less than a mile from the Pakistani equivalent of West Point? Seems suspicious…”
These guys don’t watch t.v.? No text? No data plan? These are clearly criminals:) Yeah the irony was nice. You reveal yourself when you hide too well…

I've been saying this all day.
I’ve seen these people first hand. If anything it’s just gonna make him more powerful.
Not that killing him was a mistake, dude had to die, but it’s not gonna end anything.

Of course not :)
I respect and appreciate your service and value your opinion greatly. No joke.
"Run and tweet THAT, homeboy."
It wont end a danm thing
But I feel assured that people across the country all got a little bit of a smile across their face. The figurehead of our enemy was killed. It wont change anything, but it does feel good to get back at them bastard.

People that post stuff about trying to take him alive. Osama told his body guards to shoot him themselves before letting us soldiers take him. So how did you expect to take him alive and try to get any information from him?
From what I'm hearing
Whoever did it was told “if he somehow surrenders sincerely, then yeah, go ahead and take him alive.” It’s just that no one actually expected that to happen, and assuming that the official account is accurate, it didn’t happen.
I wish Jon Jones would have found him.

Osama has been sick and hiding out for years. From what I read the guy was out of the loop for a while and hasn’t been a leader of “Al Qaeda” for a longtime. He deserves what was done to him but I would’ve thought a trip to good ol’ Guantanamo would’ve been more sufficient.
The whole idea that 911 and terror to America was done by one middle eastern man is quite ignorant, and I really doubt it’s going to have any affect to world wide terror and issues. The whole war and invasion of Iraq has left me with a bad taste in my mouth honestly.

"The whole idea that 911 and terror to America was done by one middle eastern man is quite ignorant"
Ummmmmm…anyone who isn’t braindead knows he wasn’t the only one who did it buddy.
Supposedly the trail that finally led to him actually started with Khalid Sheikh Muhammed, the "real" 9/11 mastermind
Got the psuedonym of bin Laden’s courier-messenger (used in place of cell phones).
2007: find out the courier’s real name
2009: find out where the courier lived
2010: find out that there’s more than one family living in that building, they burn their trash instead of having it picked up, it’s built like a fortress, and there’s no Internet or phone service even though it’s in an urban neighborhood
end of April 2011: CIA decides “very likely that the high-value target (HVT) inside is UBL,” President Obama says “go ahead with the raid”
they tried to capture him

If true, absolutely despicable.

It's a silly throw away comment,
that sounds especially unfortunate coming from a soldier of his profile. This same lust for juvenile action film justice contributed to much of the outrageous behavior of allied forces in their invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Love Doctor King But this is rediculous
So you expect us to show up and ask a murderer of thousands to politely turn himself in? We searched him out for 10 years and when we find him we go in and ARE FIRED AT! So when equal force is returned and we WIN we are returning hate? No evil doers and murderers will be brought to justice, this goes beyond America muslims around the world were killed by this man as well as africans and many many others. Sorry :( he had intel hidden in that fortress and the information found there will cripple other terrorist groups who are collectively shitting themselves right now.
