Herr Wozzeck Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 http://news.aol.com/article/osama-bin-laden/346844 Thoughts? I think that it's about time they got close to tracking down this motherfucker. The sooner this guy gets captured, the better, I think; he's a very tangible threat to world security since he's a source of motivation for the terrorists. Of course, I say this without actually being sure of what he's been doing in the 'caves', so feel free to correct me if there's some factual evidence I missed.

Nightmare Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I...really don't know. I hope they do find him though. Bastard's been hiding (or "hiding" if you will) for way too long. (skip to 1:00). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I doubt that he would do any more shits, as rumors said he was sick. And there are many poster-terrorists alive out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruitloop Multipuck Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Can't say I consider him a particularly big threat to world security anymore. I don't think he can become that again without toning down the secrecy a huge deal, and if he does that, he's probably dead meat. There are other terrorists out there who are now important to deal with, because they don't have to hide in a cave/compound/whatever all the time. I'd also like to know precisely what this "motivation" he provides is. The dude's obviously scum and it'd be great if we caught him (Though really, considering how many other false alarms there have been over the past few years this one probably isn't right either), but I simply don't see how doing so would really help solve any problems beyond "finding bin Ladin."

General Spoon Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I bet the article says something about mountains in Pakistan or Afghanistan. Except for the mountain thing, I was right.

California Mountain Snake Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Good thing too. When he's caught the war on terror will be over, Iraq's ethnic factions will lay down their arms and vote with their consciences, and we will finally have peace in the Middle East. Hallelujah, praise Allah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff Ostrich Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Bin Laden is a figurehead and capturing him would be very good for the morale of westerners fatigued with the Middle East, if only for a short time. For this reason I am sure that the various organizations that backed him have kept him hidden as a top priority. There are many theories as to why the Middle East is in the predicament it is, ranging from Zionism (and Israel), to European Imperialism, to Islam, to the after effects of the Cold War when the US and the USSR were bullying everyone around. I don't know if any of these are true, and I've debated people more knowledgeable than me on the issue and they all have differing opinions. Being opinionated like I am, I like running my mouth off about what I think should or shouldn't be done, but I honestly dont have an answer for this one. I neither think that we should ignore the Middle East, nor do I believe that US involvement in it for the last 60 odd years has been entirely for the benefit of anyone, though I do consider myself a firm Israel supporter.

Doom103 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have a great feeling this will turn into an "America sucks" thread, but lets give it a shot. Do hope we find him so thats just that many less people being sent over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they have at least a conclusion on where he resides, so what if they find him? It's not they're gonna kill him, you all want that don't you?

Raven Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Terrorism won't stop, even if he is caught. Kill Bin Laden, and another leader will appear and go into hiding. It will never end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Wozzeck Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) and we will finally have peace in the Middle East. As hilarious as that bit of sarcasm is, I'm actually not expecting peace in the whole Middle East once we catch Bin Laden. wait, didn't this war finish already? No; what happened was that Iraq detracted all of the attention away from Afganistan, so the major focus got put on Iraq and Afganistan is basically not being talked about even though both lines are equally important. (The shift in focus is partly the reason why bin Laden got away in the first place; if we had kept up the offensive, we could have caught bin Laden right then and there.)
