By 3news.co.nz staff


CNN Chief National Correspondent John King says the body of Osama Bin Laden has been found.

US President Barack Obama is to hold an unscheduled press in a few minutes, where it is believed he will confirm the death of Bin Laden.

CNN is reporting that Bin Laden was killed about a week ago by a US bomb.

The president is to break into regular programming for the announcement.

Officials have confirmed the announcement is not related to Libya but is about another critically important issue.

NBC are reporting that Obama is to speak on a “brave military operation”.

There are actually different versions out on how he died:

- Osama was reportedly shot in the head http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/140064/20110501/osama-bin-laden-killed-in-a-mansion-outside-the-pakistani-capital-islamabad.htm

- Osama Bin Laden Killed by U.S. Drone Strike in Pakistan http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/16623
(I particularly remember this incident as it occurred around the same time that US drones were used for the first time in Libya)

- Sources said that bin Laden was killed not killed by a drone but a bomb controlled by a U.S. airman. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1382649/Osama-bin-Laden-worlds-wanted-terrorist-killed-U-S-forces-Pakistan.html#ixzz1LAFsd9rr


Will we get the real story????

Anyway No 1 man of Al Qaeda is now Ayman Al Zawahiri - an Egyptian.

CNN says Bin Laden was shot which would make sense,if he died by Drone Strike or by a Bomb Explosion his body would be harder to
identify.

Osama Bin Laden died more than 10 years ago at the battle of Tora Bora Mountain.

This no-news is Obama-Osama's attempt to distract Americans from the pangs of rising gas prices and the coming inflation and financial meltdown...etc..etc...

This latest news is also an attempt to hide the horrific terrorist action of NATO in killing Gadafi's son and three grandchildren last night. They were all civilian non-combattants killed in a Tripoli neighbourhood

The Anglo-American Zionist power elites are going nuts...

That's not good; I knew trying Kick out Gadafi aka "Regime Change" would have consequences as in civilian casualties' especially when you use air strikes, we need to get out of there in my opinion

Okay, more details on his death:


US tracked couriers to an elaborate bin Laden compound

He died in firefight along with his son, two couriers, US officials say; Pakistan was not told in advance

By Bill Dedman

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42853221/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/


Man, show me a picture of the dead man and I will be able to celebrate!!! Right now I am still cautious; too many times before it was said that Bin Laden has died.

Osama Bin Laden Body Headed for Burial at Sea, Officials Say

http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2011/05/osama-bin-laden-body-headed-for-burial-at-sea-officials-say.html


Okay now here the whole story becomes very very fishy!!!!!!

Obama wants to show respect to the dead Bin Laden by properly burying him according to Islamic practice - at sea????

Sorry but I don't believe the body they have is OBL's ..... no way!!!!

Oh come on, CNN just reported that Bin Laden WAS ALREADY BURIED at sea!!!

What a complete bullshit is this????? [Confused]

What a strange strange happening. How well calculated of Obama to announce Bin Laden's death to steal the spotlight in the news and now the body is already dumped at sea before anyone can request to see the remains.

Sorry but I don't buy anything from what has been said so far this morning.

There is a huge chance that there wasn't even a body in the first place.

Also CNN just said that Obama has "sealed his re-election" for 2012 with the killing of Bin Laden. Huhhhhh.... did I miss something?!?!?!?

Obama, you are a big fat WEASEL!!!!!!!!!! [Mad]

The burial at sea makes some sense as it would not allow for large gatherings over the tomb whom many would consider a martyr and thus a rallying point.

Capitalism is really wasteful as many say. $5 Trillion just to kill one man. Plus 1.5 million corpses. I mean, that's weird.

All it would lead to is the cult status--a la Che Guevara killed by the CIA in Bolivia many years ago and people are still buying his T-shirts--of Ben Laden and more suicide bombers.

The problem is not Ben Laden per se but U.S. imperialism in West Asia and its support for the settler state Israel and its clients in the area: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, etc.

For the Islamic fundamentalists, the fact--if true--that OBL was "buried" at sea would be seen as "deceased body desecration" which is strictly haram. More suicide bombings and assassinations in Afghanistan and Iraq a la carte--to follow.

As far as the political fallout is concerned: nothing really. Those who have opposed Obama will continue to do so and those who supported him to the hilt--AAs and others--will have to vote for him again since he will most likely not be challenged for the ticket in 2011. But some theatre can always help.

Osama bin Laden is dead. So what?

Osama bin Laden has gone to claim his virgins, and while that is fine news, it really won't change anything. The role of al-Qaeda in the global jihad, and the role of Osama bin Laden in al-Qaeda, have both been wildly overstated. Al-Qaeda is not the only Islamic jihad group or Islamic supremacist group operating today, and Osama bin Laden was not some charismatic leader whose movement will collapse without him. The exaggeration of his role, in fact, was a result of the general unwillingness to face the reality that the global jihad is a movement driven by an ideology, not an outsized personality, and that that ideology is rooted in Islam.

So Osama bin Laden, after years of silence punctuated by mysterious gnomic utterances delivered (how? by whom?) to the media, finally joins Generalissimo Franco in the ranks of the still dead. I will forthwith hoist a suitably haram beverage in toast of the happy news. And then it will be back to work. The jihad will go on, and so will I, and so, I hope, will you.

Lol just right now you could read on CNN "Inside Obama's Compound" with live footage from Pakistan. Really CNN people need more coffee breaks!!! [Big Grin]

Update: Now they changed it to "Bin Laden's Compound" - still showing the same pics.

Obama has been his perceived as “lacking in military leadership”, a weak commander-in-chief if you will. This has been one of his achilles- heels. Osama Bin Laden's death could possibly erase this card, and no president or presidential hopeful wants to enter a campaign as a weak man (militarily). This is not to say it is the be all card when it comes to presidential elections because the economy usually tops that list. But this helps immensely, and people can critcize Obama as much as they feel necessary. It doesn't change the fact that OB death is very positive for the incumbent.

Will this make him a martyr? The U.S. braces itself for fury of Arab world as Osama Bin Laden is killed in Pakistan
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1382637/Osama-bin-Laden-killed-Pakistan-US-braces-fury-Arab-world.html

Why? Aren't moderate Muslims thronging the streets, dancing in celebration and handing out candy? Didn't bin Laden represent a Tiny Minority of Extremists despised by the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims?

Osama bin Laden dead: body 'identified by sister's brain'

Osama bin Laden's body was identified by US authorities by matching a DNA sample to one taken from his late sister's brain, according to reports.

Obama could find a cure for cancer tomorrow but none of that will matter in 2012 if gas remains over $4 dollars a gallon, food prices remain high, wages continue to go down, people continue to work longer and harder for less, the economy remains sluggish or possibly crashes again, and the plutocrats continue to send jobs overseas. If Obama cant stem this tide it wont matter if he kills ten Bin Ladens.

He killed the boogeyman and for many that should mean a goodnight sleep. As for economics, are we to deny an awful economy was handed down to him? This is the prez third year and all results from previous two years where leftovers from Bush administration. Real growth rate for 2011 is projected at 2.70% the highest since 2006. Let's see what what's in store for 2012. If 2011 ends with 2.70% and 2012 between 3.00 and 3.50% that is beyond economically successful. As for gas costing $4, get used to it, because it is getting less and more countries are demanding it (supply&demand). And the cost of gas at the pump has nothing to do with Obama, don't be surprised if it reaches $5 and $7 within 5 years and $10 in next 15 years. Pity the Europeans, some pay nearly $10 a gallon now.

£1.30 a litre - works out as 9.76 dollars a gallon.

EDIT: just remembered, us gallons are different to ours, so that works out as 8.19 dollars a us gallon. We don't talk about gallons here anymore. Give it time, we'll probably be dealing in ml at this rate.

Obama has been his perceived as “lacking in military leadership”, a weak commander-in-chief if you will. This has been one of his achilles- heels. Osama Bin Laden's death could possibly erase this card, and no president or presidential hopeful wants to enter a campaign as a weak man (militarily). This is not to say it is the be all card when it comes to presidential elections because the economy usually tops that list. But this helps immensely, and people can critcize Obama as much as they feel necessary. It doesn't change the fact that OB death is very positive for the incumbent.
Obama could find a cure for cancer tomorrow but none of that will matter in 2012 if gas remains over $4 dollars a gallon, food prices remain high, wages continue to go down, people continue to work longer and harder for less, the economy remains sluggish or possibly crashes again, and the plutocrats continue to send jobs overseas. If Obama cant stem this tide it wont matter if he kills ten Bin Ladens.
He killed the boogeyman and for many that should mean a goodnight sleep. As for economics, are we to deny an awful economy was handed down to him? This is the prez third year and all results from previous two years where leftovers from Bush administration. Real growth rate for 2011 is projected at 2.70% the highest since 2006. Let's see what what's in store for 2012. If 2011 ends with 2.70% and 2012 between 3.00 and 3.50% that is beyond economically successful. As for gas costing $4, get used to it, because it is getting less and more countries are demanding it (supply&demand). And the cost of gas at the pump has nothing to do with Obama, don't be surprised if it reaches $5 and $7 within 5 years and $10 in next 15 years. Pity the Europeans, some pay nearly $10 a gallon now.
This is the problem when people romanticize Obama; cognitive dissonance.

Lets be realistic, nobody outside the CIA (Criminal Intelligence Agency) was worried about Bin Laden. Where you? I sure as hell wasn't. And nobody I know was worried about him either. But people are very worried about holding to their jobs in a unstable economy, not letting their homes go to foreclosure, and simply having a square meal. And it doesn't matter who handed what economy down to Obama. People don't want to hear excuses. The only thing people in America care about is instant gratification - who is going to fix what and how fast are they going to fix it. You know very well people in America have a very short attention span. So it's pointless to suggest Bush handed a bad economy to Obama. The bad economy is on Obama's watch so what is he going to do with it is what concerns ordinary people. "As for gas costing $4, get used to it." This is a very arrogant comment I would expect from a conservative right-winger. People don't want to get use to $4 dollars or more for gas. You know that damn well. Let Obama say "get use to it" and see what happens. This is exactly the type of attitude that will get Obama booted in 2012.

I disagree, Brada. I believe it would have been very humiliating for Bin laden and demoralizing for his disciples if Bin Laden were to be tried and convicted. Thats what they did with the nazis in the Nuremberg trials after WWII. No way is Bin Laden in the same league with that bunch. So why the sudden rush to drop him off in the ocean? Why all the secrecy? Perhaps Bin Laden has too much dirt on America. Something is very suspicious with this Bin Laden thing. Buried at sea? So we are never going to see the body and once again we have no choice but to accept the official version of the events. There was no good reason to have buried him at sea. The U.S. government is the same entity which lied about the cause of the Spanish - American war. Lied about why we went to war with Korea. Lied about the Gulf of Tonkin. Lied about why we went to Vietnam. Lied about the assassination of JFK, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. Lied about operation Eagle Claw. Lied about why we went to war with Iraq. Lied about WMD. Lied about Jessica Lynch. Lied about the murder of Pat Tillman. Lies lies lies!!!

Think the previous poster had a valid point about offing Bin Laden - seemed to come out of nowhere. I heard it this morning and thought - huh? He slipped off the radar of Joe Bloggs ages ago, we do forget, and that's fine, til there's another 9/11, or worse.

No harm no foul. Shame it didn't happen ten years ago mind. TBH, I'm not really for capital punishment, but if they'd arrested him al qaeda would have been spurred into carrying out god knows what to lever him out. Not that I'd say it's peachy now, but it's peachier, at least.

A lot of people here are converting their cars to run on used cooking oil. Seriously. I know someone whose done this and goes to the local chippie to buy their fat, only nowadays there is getting to be a big queue for it so they're having to buy it from the shops, which is driving the price of cooking oil up too!

Madness!

Bin Laden dead, jihadists give up - no, wait...

"We will take our revenge on behalf of the Islamic Ummah for the death of the Sheikh of Islam ... Whoever wishes this to be the end of jihad or a means to weaken the organization, I say to him: Wait a little!"

Islamists vow bin Laden death will not mute Jihad call

You may be right. The AAs may be slowly getting the message on their Manchurian candidate president. I noted that at the televised "U.S.A. all the way rallies" very few people were black. Or maybe it's because the rallies looked like KKK rallies--or a lynching party--so the AAs instinctively stayed away.

The big mistake the right people made about BHO is that they failed to understand that the man was raised by whites. Sociopathic white thinking was imprinted on his mind from birth. Blame the dad for allowing that to happen.

The marriage to a black and the Rev. Wright period was just a stage of confusion. But all that could not erase the base of the sociopathic white mind, of which one aspect is killing and murder without passion--like killing ants or flies.

In all this there is need to investigate how BHO was targeted, vetted then selected as a kind of Manchurian candidate for the job at hand.

Now it's been reported that Bin Laden wasn't even armed when executed. So why not taking him in alive and let him stand trial for all the murders he committed or helped to commit????

Now that would have been JUSTICE.

Hm and still no proof that Bin Laden is dead. The US government is 'weighing options' to show or not to show pics of the deceased Al Qaeda leader.

Strange is the fact that the US didn't have any probs to show a hanged Saddam Hussein on TV..... just saying.
